I have to be there all next week.  Does anyone know of a nice hotel with a gym that actually has big boy weights and not just a treadmill and four dumbbells?  I haven't been able to find anything.  I want to stay near the airport or downtown area, if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Sofla, I am not familiar with any specific hotels in Tampa with large gym facilities.  

However, I have found in my travels that many of the higher end hotels have working relationships (comps) with YMCA's, Gold's Gym, or Bally type facilities near their specific hotel.  

If you are unable to get specific suggestions, you might be able to call one of these gyms to see if they have any arrangement with hotels in the area you want to stay.

I would reverse the process; call the hotel and ask if they have a working relationship with a nearby health club.

I'll give you a work out you'll never forget!  

LMAO.  All my dates now a days seem to be anonymous, both before, during and after.

I found one.  I appreciate all the input.

I'm going to my favorite gym in Tampa next week...the "nude" one!

There is only one place in my book to work out in Tampa "my way" Caliente's However, the Westin downtown has a beautiful state-of-the-art gym-if you have to wear clothes!

Namaste

Love,
Piper

Try the Marriott Westshore; not a full gym, but 24 hour access.
