Terri Smith Johnson Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 We will be on the Oasis March 27 and wanted info on fitness center. I assume lots of treadmills and elliptical machines are available, but are there circuit trainers and free weights as well? What classes are available and what are the fees?

Loads of machines and free weights. For cardio, as well as the treadmills and ellipticals, there are stationary and recumbent bikes, stair climbers and potentially a couple of rowing machines. One floor down from the fitness centre, you also have the dedicated walking/running track, one of my favourite things on this class of ship, as you don't have to do a million laps to the mile or dodge errant sun loungers. I can't help with information on classes, I'm afraid, as I don't usually participate in those. Some are free and some have a charge and you should be able to see them in the app. If the details are still sparse for your own sailing, check the current sailing as that will give you a good idea of what to expect. Otherwise, you should be able to pick up a schedule on boarding day. Terri Smith Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunkelBierJay Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 This cruise compass from a recent sailing will give you an idea...look for items listed with Fitness Center under the Wellness heading for each day. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compasses/oasis-of-the-seas/sun-02062022-0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCruiser Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 also dont forget youtube videos with ship tours, they usually hit the gyms in their vids. you can see firsthand whats there. I, personally, am more interested in doing 12oz curls while cruising. But to each their own.

Maybe I overlooked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the ship under went refurbishing, so I hoped there would be something more current. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you There is a poster called Maitaivegas over on Cruise Critic's Royal Caribbean board who is boarding Oasis tomorrow and will be doing a live thread. Probably if you ask her she will check it out for you. Look for the thread called "LIVE The Oasis of the Seas 3/6-3/13/22".

I have yet to see a ship's gym that isn't better than my local gym at home. And they are always way, way better than hotel gyms. One of my favourite things about cruise ships.

GatorCruiser Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 You know , I work out at home but for the life of me I can’t drag my butt to the ship gyms. Just too much bar hopping to be done.

Nguyen92 Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I was on Oasis in Jan 2020. The only free weights were the dumbbells. There were a few free weight plates but those are for the smith machine. It didn't have the regular 45-lb barbell for deadlift or squat like at my regular gym.
