This is not true. Most hotels have some sort of workout room with at least a hamster wheel. It may not be ideal, but it's better than nothing. Even in the absence of a workout room, unless you're stuck in a blizzard you can go for a run outside and do other exercises without weights. I even take resistance bands on trips. They don't take up much space at all in my suitcase.

There's a CA in PHX who takes a completely collapse-able road bike on trips. It folds up and fits in a bag, and he rides all over the place on overnights. He was telling about all of the different gyms and swimming pools he uses for workouts on all of the PHX overnights. You may have to get creative, but there's a way to get it done.

I agree though that sometimes the dining options can leave a lot to be desired. I take a cooler to work so I always have a healthy option.

East coaster, so don't know about LAX or SFO.

CLT- you can run anywhere around the Best Western.

If you have enough time, grab the LYNX train to 6th St Downtown. (10 min ride $1 each way) Charlotte Athletic Club and a Gold's Gym. Both have daily passes for around $5.

Really guys, you can stay in shape,
even get in shape doing this job!

There are some exercises that can be done in your hotel room with no equipment. And even the crappiest hotel I've stayed at, had a basic, basic weight room with some Dumbbells and a treadmill. (Although I hate running. Flame away ahaha)

P90x videos? Eating is 90% of a six pack. And then it is also 90% of a keg! Choose wisely!

I had to include this!! Seriously funny title: http://youtu.be/WLmDkcb6JQE

Insanity is doable in a hotel room. (You might need to move some furniture.) It doesn't require any equipment and I find it to be a heck of a good workout.

Insanity is barely doable in anyplace ;p
At least for me!

Cuban Scenario:
¿Hola Mesa vuelo 2455, hacerte ver nuestro hermoso Aeropuerto? Autorizado para aterrizar. Cuidado con las baterías de misiles.
