The 10,000 sq ft Technogym Fitness Center is open 24/7 and includes ocean-facing cardio machines and an indoor rock climbing wall; bring training clothes and shoes. The resort also offers many group classes weekly, so bring small accessories if you use them (e.g., resistance band, travel yoga mat).
