Get Fit with The Godfrey Hotel Boston

We’re working hard to make sure our hotel is in shape on opening day so that our guests can keep in shape during their stay. We are laying the groundwork for our in-house fitness center and recently purchased the top-of-the-line equipment that will fill out the space.

Our fitness center spans 1,900 square feet on the lower level and will be outfitted with premier Life Fitness equipment. All guests will have unlimited access to the four treadmills, three ellipticals, various free weights, bosu balls, yoga area and much more. After all, Boston was named one of the 2015 top 10 fittest US cities by the American Fitness Index, and we want to help our guests reach their fitness goals while staying with us.

Fitness won’t be constrained to within our hotel, however. We’re working on some exciting partnerships that will allow our guests to get fit while exploring Boston and the surrounding area, so make sure to keep coming back for more details as they unfold.

And don’t forget, after you break a sweat in our fitness center, you can head back to your room to log your workout online and lounge in our luxurious Frette robes after your post-workout shower.
