When you’re staying in one of Newport Beach’s resorts, you’ll find that you often don’t even have to leave the grounds to get fit … but, if you do, there also are plenty of outdoor exercise options as well! From wellness classes to primo fitness facilities and more, there are plenty of ways to exercise your right to work out at some of our best local hotels.

At the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, you’ll find the fully renovated 24 Hour StayFit Gym. Updated as part of an overall $15 million property-wide redesign, the top-of-the-line fitness facility overlooks the resort’s lush, tropical landscape and features treadmills, elliptical machines, recumbent bikes, exercise cycles, free weights, weight stations, exercise mats, and resistance bands and balls. A fitness concierge even is on hand to help with any gear you may need. If you choose to work out in the privacy of your own room, you can order a complete yoga workout from the in-room entertainment unit. Various programs are available, including fitness, stress reduction and mental focus. And, for those who prefer to exercise outdoors, the fitness concierge can supply detailed maps of running and walking trails (the nearby Newport Bay Ecological Reserve is great for jogging and walking), as well as GPS watches, or offer directions to the hotel’s nine-hole, par-three Back Bay Golf Course; 16 lighted tennis courts; and three new outdoor swimming pools and hot tubs. Bike rentals and activities such as shuffleboard and volleyball also are available.
