Over past several trips I have tried my best to be able to work out. Luckily I traveled with my wife for leisure for those trips, and she understood my need for workout. So everyday I could spend at least a couple of hours in the fitness rooms of hotels. But the concerning part, just for me, is I don't feel comfortable if I don't exercise that day. Maybe I need to relax a bit during travel.

I've "upgraded" my casual shoes to also be suitable for light gym /running, and bring 1 set of dri-fit workout clothes for every 2 days - so I can wash one set (they dry very quickly, that's what they're made to do!) and wear the other one the next day. it's helped reduce some space/weight in my bags, and also I feel guilty carrying it around if I don't use it at all.
If it's a big city, I usually hit my "workout" by walking/exploring the city and/or shopping.

I usually bring a pair of office shoes and running shoes (which then become my after-work shoes) when I plan to workout while traveling. My workouts are in the hotel on the treadmill and maybe some weights. If the forecast calls for yucky weather, then I'll also pack some waterproof hiking shoes for after work. Maybe I should look into some Gore-Tex running shoes instead?
