Do you have a regular fitness routine that you want to keep while traveling? Have you ever needed to work off some energy while you’re at the airport? We’ve come up with a list of the top 8 airports with workout facilities that might help you renew and recharge.
These workout rooms at airports around the world offer services and equipment for stretching, bulking up, unwinding, or getting in a cardio workout on the go.

The workout room at O’Hare International Airport sits on the arcade level of the Hilton Chicago O’Hare Hotel.
This fitness club recently received a renovation and it now has new Life Fitness equipment.

O’Hare International Airport Fitness Club
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Texas (DFW)
At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, you can practice yoga in the airport’s free yoga studio in Terminal D.
The yoga studio is a great place to escape to and it’s a nice space for learning about yoga if you’ve got a bit of time to kill (a looping DVD provides yoga instruction).
You don’t need a yoga mat to exercise at this studio. You can borrow one. The yoga room also provides 24/7 access.
You’ll find this workout space overlooking the American Airlines tarmac, but if walking’s more your think, head to Terminal D’s LiveWell Walking Path.
The LiveWell Path is 7/10ths of a mile long and it’s marked with signs between 12 floor art medallions (from gates D6 to D40).

This exercise facility offers stair-steppers, treadmills, and stationary bikes (each with its own TV).
If you’re a guest of the Westin, you can use the gym for free. Non-guests just have to pay $15 for a day pass.
Westin also partners with New Balance to provide gym shoes, shorts, and t-shirts for rent (for $5).

Dubai International Airport, United Arab Emirates (DXB)
Folks flying in and out of Dubai International Airport typically have a long flight ahead – of them or they just got off of one.
When you have many hours up in the air in your future – or in your recent past – consider visiting the G-Force Health Club located in Concourse B (Terminal 3) to relax your body.
G-Force offers men’s and women’s steam rooms, Jacuzzis, and saunas. It also provides Swedish and shiatsu massage services.
A 24-hour gym pass costs $13 per hour and gives you access to private showers.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport – in partnership with the American Heart Association’s national Start! Walking Program – encourages air travelers to stay active while waiting for their flight by walking the airport’s 1.4-mile walking path.
The walking path is in the Lindbergh Terminal, and it starts at the intersection of the C and D concourses. If you head down the C concourse, you’ll find the green Start! Path on overhead signs, which hang every .1 mile to show you how far you’ve walked.
