 A travel guide especially for the fitness-conscious January 5, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Athletic-Minded Traveler is a travel guide especially for the fitness-conscious. Focusing on the biggest and most-visited cities across America, The Athletic-Minded Traveler lists hotels that match one's budget and athletic needs, rates the quality of exercise equipment at recommended hotels and health clubs, recommends running routes, showcases verified lap pools with detailed specs, and much more. A superb resource packed cover to cover with addresses, highlights, websites, and phone numbers of quality exercise locations, and is a "must" for the health-conscious jet-setter.
CEO Desk Top Must! December 22, 2004

This book contains the information I am constantly having to call around for and delivers it with a humorous touch! I travel a lot and hate to miss out on a training session. This book covers every major city and is dead on with the best in strength training and cardio equipment. Add to it that they have located the good pools (not the crap ones that are either filthy or require you to swim in a fish bowl) and you are on your way to some quality swim work outs. As a female CEO, I appreciate the fact that the authors have also scoped out the safety factor for runs so that I can decide whether to hit the tread mill or go for a safe jog. An online version that can be updated would be greatly appreciated as would additional cities. I have it sitting on my desk so that I can consult it and advise my assistant as to which hotel to book. Funny how it keeps ending up in others' offices as they seek to plan their business travels!
Traveling and working out November 1, 2004

If you travel and regularly use a fitness facility, you need this book. Kaese and Huddle have created a unique compilation of over 500 unbiased recommendations regarding hotel/resort fitness offerings. As a triathlete who is often training on the road, I find this a great tool. You'll find out things like how many Star Trac treadmills, what kind of elliptical trainers, how long is that lap pool and also local recommendations like a great running route. Get one for yourself to check it out and you may find yourself sending copies to others who will find it to be a great, thoughtful gift.

The Essential Item For Any Traveler October 28, 2004

As an auditor for a Fortune 500 company, I live on the road. That lifestyle doesn't easily go with training for an Ironman. With this book, I can go into any city and have the confidence of knowing where to work out (especially swimming which tends to be the hardest to find), which hotels to stay at and also where certain places of interest are. Jim Kaese and Paul Huddle have done an amazing job in compiling this very useful list together. It is the first thing I pack when I'm getting ready to leave the house. We owe them a great deal of thanks for making our athletic lives that much easier. It is a must for anyone who enjoys working out while away from home.
