Does anyone know of any Fitness programs at Hilton Hotels?

I am not looking for just a hotel with a fitness center. I am looking more for a hotel with a complete fitness program. I recently heard about boot-camp programs where you work out throughout the day and then have a nice dinner and massage. I know Sandals and Club Med offers something like this. Does anyone know if Hilton offers something similar?

Thanks

Welcome erielali. I can't say I've seen such a program at a Hilton property. Perhaps one of the resorts (where I never seem to stay!)

Along the same lines I think it should be mandatory for properties to post pictures of the fitness room on the web site. I'm really tired of staying at hotels where they advertise a fitness room and I find two or three circa 1975 exercise bikes that don't work.

erielali: Most properties with a nice spa could arrange something for you.

Most do, but they always get the mirror in their to make it look bigger. All I ever do is count the tread mills.

I'm with you 100%. If a hotel doesn't post gym pictures, they don't get my business...with one exception. When I'm desperate, I'll rely on one of the hotel photo websites.

Ok...this has GOT to be one of my biggest pet peeves overall!
Keeping fit while on the road is a MAJOR concern of mine as I age.
Being that the majority of us are all road warriors, we depend on our hotel to provide amenities to help us adjust to life on the road. We also depend on hotels to help us make good choices on the road regarding our health as well.
In the rooms, I have found that both Hilton and Marriott do an excellent job of providing both good in-room comfort as well as some excellent healthy choices on their in-room menus. With both brands, you know what to expect in your room, most consistently from property to property.
HOWEVER!...when it comes to exercise facilities, the dependable branding ends at the doorstep. All of us have seen the 'off name', 'lame-o' excuses for equipment, most of which hasn't been serviced for years. Threadbare treadmills, rusty weight sets, and dusty/musty 'everything-else'. Good grief!
As much as business people frequent these hotels, you would think one savvy exercise equipment sales rep would have seen the gap in the market and tried to sell Hilton or Marriott on consistent, up-to-date equipment. Helloooo....leases anyone?
I mean, if they can stick a Starbucks branded coffee station outpost in the lobbies of most hotels, why the hell can't they stick a Gold's, L.A Fitness or Bally's branded mini-gym in a hotel? I would think Exercise equipment manufactures would JUMP at the chance to have their newest equipment on display, replete with special 'hotel guest only' rate ordering collateral to boot.
Why don't one of these chains step up to the plate...and simultaneously help us push away from our own?

Perfect Example: Hampton Inn at O'Hare. Four pictures of breakfast; none of the 'fitness center'. I just cancelled.
