Name the equipment you use

Ask for a current photograph and list the items essential to your routine. A room with one treadmill can be described as a fitness centre, but it may not suit strength training or a longer workout. Check usable floor space if you need room for stretching.

Confirm access conditions

Find out whether the gym is included in your rate, when it opens and whether staff supervision is required. Ask about maintenance affecting your chosen equipment. If you exercise early, confirm that your room key can reach the relevant floor at that hour.

Plan a realistic alternative

For a longer stay, compare a comfortable room plus an independently checked exercise option with paying more for a hotel gym. Bring only equipment permitted by the property and use it considerately. Base the decision on the routine you will maintain rather than the number of facilities in the listing.
