With the opening of Disney Vacation Club’s Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows in just a few short days, the resort welcomes its first dedicated fitness center. This addition provides a convenient and well-equipped space for guests to stay active during their vacation. Designed with both functionality and comfort in mind, the fitness center aligns with the tropical charm of the Polynesian theme.
Location and Accessibility
The fitness center is conveniently located on the ground floor of the Island Tower and is accessible to registered guests of the Disney Vacation Club at Disney’s Polynesian Villas. It’s open 24 hours a day, allowing visitors to fit their workouts into their schedules with ease.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by large windows that bring in natural light. The entrance includes a helpful counter providing towels, cold refreshments, and even a coconut water dispenser. For added convenience, there is a water bottle filling station and clearly posted fitness center rules.
Exercise Equipment and Features
The space is outfitted with equipment from TechnoGym, a leading name in fitness gear. Guests will find a variety of cardio machines, including Skillrun treadmills, elliptical machines, and stationary bikes. Strength training options include a weight rack, benches, a pulley machine, and additional stations for focused exercises like shoulder presses and lat pulls.
For guests seeking variety, the fitness center also offers yoga mats, resistance bands, exercise balls, and kettlebells—all neatly housed on shelves. A scenic Polynesian landscape mural adds a touch of inspiration, while mirrors enhance the overall sense of space.
Amenities to Enhance the Experience
Beyond the equipment, the fitness center provides small touches that elevate the guest experience. Cold towels and the opportunity to hydrate with fresh coconut water echo the resort’s tranquil, tropical environment. Even during workouts, the Polynesian theming is subtle but present, creating a sense of balance between activity and relaxation.
