Hotel Towel etiquette
If using the in-house gym is it okay to use the towels provided in the room or do you bring your own?

You can use your room towels, though many gyms may have their own at the gym.

Often the in-house gym will have towels available for you to use & a place to toss them when you're finished. You might want to stop by the gym briefly before working out to see if that's the case. If there aren't any, then bringing a towel from the hotel room to the gym is perfectly acceptable. You don't need to bring a towel from home with you.
Cheers.

If the gym doesn't have towels I just bring a hand towel from the room. They always seem to give more handtowels than we need anyways.

Thanks all.
I usually give the gym a miss when travelling but am training for an endurance event and can't miss the training time.

I always bring a towel from the room, because I've often been hosed with getting to the gym and finding all the towels gone.
