Travelers can now make efficient use of their downtime at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) with a workout at ROAM Fitness, a new gym located in Terminal F.
The gym, part of a start-up mission to bring gyms to airports, is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and offers day passes at $25, writes Ariana Perez-Castells for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
A day pass includes complimentary apparel and sneakers, towel service, and private shower rooms. For travelers bringing their own workout clothes, ROAM Fitness will vacuum seal them for odor-free transport.
Unlike conventional airport fitness amenities, ROAM Fitness provides a full-service gym experience post-security.
“Time management on travel days is one of the biggest sources of anxiety for people,” said Cynthia Sandall, co-founder of ROAM Fitness.
The 1,500-square-foot space features equipment from Technogym and Lululemon’s live and on-demand workout classes.
Employees such as Clifton Wilson also benefit from a discounted membership.
“It’s just convenient,” he said. “In between flights, if I have nothing else to do, I just come to the gym.”
The airport’s Chief Revenue Officer, Jim Tyrrell, believes this new amenity makes the experience more attractive for both passengers and staff.
