Emerald Fitness Center--TVs

[AJs Grandpa]

Pictures of the fitness center make it look like they have new exercise machines with individual TVs instead of the "community" TVs on older ships. True? If so, how do users get sound? Must they bring their own headsets to plug in? Radios to tune to broadcast frequency? Other?

 

 

Thanks.

It's true! Each person has a headset that allows them to listen to and watch on the treadmill. There are clean disposable earcovers to change out as you enter the workout. I didn't notice any radio, I caught up on missed episodes of Grey's Anatomy.

Thanks for the quick reply. One less thing to bring for a big improvement from the old community TVs without sound. Will reduce the drudgery of those all-important morning workouts.

We try to stick to our normal morning schedule and are at the gym before 7AM. Other than the first day, we never had problems getting machines on the Sun last year. Hope we have the same experience on the Emerald in March. You're a better person than I am if you can break away from afternoon activities and/or naps to exercise in the middle of the day.

 

Hate to sound like one of those tiresome fanatics, but a health issue finally scared me into learning where the gyms are on cruise ships. Now I just accept it as a necessity. Able to eat (almost anyway:) ) what I wanted and gained only three pounds on a 10-day cruise last year. Hoping for the same result this year.

Does anyone know if this is also true for the Grand Princess? That would be great!!!

You are my idol!! I live with a husband that actually loves to exercize, imagine that!! We have to go to the gym everyday just as you do. Have excepted that at 54 it is just what has to be done:rolleyes: Hate eery minute of it, but I have a great group that meets at a gym at home everyday that makes it (almost) better!
