Hotel Fitness Center – Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami

I recently visited the Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami.  You can read the hotel review HERE.

Although the fitness center didn’t particularly wow me, it was clean, had all of the basics and everything was in working order. So, it was fine for a basic hotel workout.

When I am at a hotel, in addition to going to the gym, I like to go exploring the area by walking or running. Often, I head out in the direction less traveled, because that is the part I’m usually more interested in, and then I see where it takes me. That’s one of my favorite things to do when traveling.

So, I walked out of the hotel and turned right. Every few blocks the scenery changed. At first, I walked besides the bay (which reminded me a little of Cartagena), then there were no longer sleek tall buildings. Rather, the area was filled with local residential buildings, a little older than the shiny Brickell structures. And then the scenery turned lush and green with local paths and parks. And then I made my way back to the hotel in time for breakfast, only getting a little lost along the way.

On another day, I dragged Dave all the way to Wynwood. It was a hell of a walk, but the art was so worth it (see, Wynwood Walls – A Sampling of Photos from Miami’s Street Art Scene).

Additionally, the hotel has a lovely rooftop pool, that is perfect for lounging (think pina coladas with little umbrellas in them) or lap swimming, or both.

Miami is a perfect place if you feel like mixing a little fitness into your vacation. Having a good hotel gym makes it a breeze!
