Hello,
I tried to find answers in previous posts. But I couldn’t find detail I needed. I do a barbell strength training program, and my workouts require being able to squat, deadlift, and press/bench press. I was hoping to find out info on these questions:
-Does gym at RM has a barbell and a rack? A smith machine (barbell on rails and pulley system) does not count.
-what weight do dumbbells go to?
-Is there a leg press machine?
-Any other details would be appreciated

Thanks

We are wondering about this too. We have been 3 times before but not used the gym.

The gym is pretty much cable pulleys and old school machines. They do have dumbbell up to 50 lbs. They may have a leg press machine. Don’t plan on doing too much powerlifting programming.

Great. That is helpful to know. Leg presses it is then

I used the gym during our trip last month. It is small but well equipped. The machines that they have are mostly new, good quality Lifefitness machines. As stated in a previous post, there are dumbells up to 50 pounds if I recall correctly. But you can't expect to have a true "powerlifting" type of workout.

There's a gym?

The gym is reasonably equipped for a resort and serves it's purpose. The only issue was one morning while the wife and I was using the gym a guy came in alone and got on the treadmill wearing a shirt, socks, sneakers and no bottoms. Dude really? You forgot to pack gym shorts. If so, it would be okay to bypass your workout for a couple days. Some people take clothing optional to another extreme. True story
