This area of the airport gyms site is dedicated to Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) we receive and miscellaneous articles and
links we have found relative to the topics of airport fitness,
airport gyms, gyms in airports, gyms near airports, and active
traveling for fitness and active minded travelers.
- I
am a traveler and found a gym or a gym owner and have a new
club to submit for listing, what do I do?
Please use our Contact
Us form - we will get the new gym listed ASAP. If providing
a new airport gym listing, give as much detail as possible
- similar to the listings you see now. Details such as exact
gym name, contact data, hours, location, fees, facilities,
etc.
- Can
we advertise on the airport gyms website?
YES! We are always open to offers for advertising
(text links or banners) on a pay per placement basis. Please contact us
for more details on direct ad placement within
the site. Given that this site has been seen in some of the
most visual nation wide magazine, and newspaper print articles,
as well as heard talked about on radio and heavy linked
to and written about on the web as seen by a quick Google
search, you can be sure to gain a lot of exposure to your
ads! You
can even begin today if you are a Google user!
- How
is this airport gym listing service kept FREE?
First, by users supporting our sponsors and using the products
and services advertised here. So please support or sponsors
and their ads and links.
Second, with donations from users. Please consider donating
to the cause. We are not here to make money, we are here
to offer this service, but we have just minimal costs to
cover of course. If you find this service and site useful,
please consider donating.
- Do
you have a mapping feature on your gym listings?
YES! We have added a basic Google mapping feature that
allows you to see a local map of the area around the airport,
and then even map directions to the gym. Just click the "CLICK
to see a local map" link within the MAP section of
your listing where you can zoom in/out, move it around,
and even get a bigger map and get driving directions.
NOTE: we notice at times the listings can lag in loading
speed - this is due to the maps loading up for each listing.
- Can
you help me find a personal training job, fitness job in
the fitness industry or at a gym?
No. We are not in any way associated with any gym or fitness
center listed here. We do not run them, own them, have
no contact with them, work for or work in them, etc. -
we just list them.
UPDATE: We see that several of our Google sponsored ads list
companies that specialize in job openings at gyms. Watch
for those ads!
- Where
can we get a complete listing of airport gyms located IN
airports across the country?
- It
would be great to have a separate list of just those gyms
in airports instead of having to search within each state.
As this is a free site, we might add that option when
and if time permits. As for now, you need to search by
airport in state as most users do not go looking for gyms
in airports, but airports they are traveling through that
have gyms in them. So having a list of only airports with
gyms in them makes little sense.
- How
do you get these airport gyms listings?
We rely on user feedback to inform us of new listings
or outdated/changed listings. If you have one to report,
please contact us.
Calling
all pilots &
frequent business travelers! Have you come across a gym
that meets our criteria due to your extensive travels?
Please let us know.
- Can
you help us start an airport gym or do you know how to direct
us to the resources needed to start a gym?
Sorry, no. We are in no way associated with any gym or
fitness center or workout club listed or the fitness industry
other than to just list them. We do not run them, own them,
have contact with them, work for or in them, etc. - we
just list them.
UPDATE: We see that several of our Google sponsored ads list
companies that specialize in the service of starting a
gym. Watch for those ads.
- Can
you list our gym or a gym we found that is not in or near
an International airport? What is the criteria?
Sorry, but no. The point of the website is clear and just
listing gyms in general defeats the purpose. Or criteria
is to ONLY list gyms in an airport terminal at international
airports or near (10-20 minute cab, shuttle or walk) from
an international airport.
- Will
you be listing gyms in other countries International airports
besides the USA and Canada?
Yes. We
hope to in the future and we badly want to provide this
service. We are slowly trying to build those listings,
but they are very sparse since we rely on user feedback
to get them. If you have International listings, please
let
us know.
- Your
airport gym listing was wrong!
Sorry. We naturally suggest that prior to just showing
up, you call ahead and verify the current information you
find here. We rely on user feedback to inform us of new
listings or outdated/changed listings. If you have one
to report, please contact
us. And no, we
are not responsible in any way for you lost time, cost,
effort, etc. due to incorrect information. Use these gym
listings at your own risk as an adult.
- Why
are some airport gym listings so complete and some are so
sparse?
We rely on user feedback to inform us of all listings.
We can only provide the information they provide to us.
If you have one to report or more details to add, please contact
us.
- How
often do you update your gym listings?
We rely on user feedback to inform us of all listings.
We 'try' to update our listings at least 2x times a month
- but this is subject to change. So, check back as new
listings do come on line
and old listings get updated from time to time as new
information filters in from our users.
- Can
we reprint these airport gym listings publicly elsewhere?
No. Our policies expressly
prohibit this reuse, reprint, publishing, dissemination,
copying, screen shoting, cut-and-pasting of any of Airportgyms.com's™ original
content, graphics, gym listings for any purpose, is strictly
prohibited and not permitted. Should it be desired and
requested, permission to use any Airportgyms.com™ content,
is granted on a case-by-case basis. But these are proprietary
listings provided directly to us by our users.
- Do
you have a blog so we can keep up on the latest news?
- I know the state(s)
& airport(s) I am passing through or have layovers at, but
not where they are on your map.
Sorry, we can't help you there. You might try Google,
or maybe take a geography class at the local community
college.
- Do you know the
airport abbreviation codes?
- Why do the states with lots of listings load slower?
First, we believe it is partially the load on the server,
but more so, it is likely the Google Map embedded into
each listing. So, when the page with the gyms loads, it
has to load a map as well. For example, a page with 10
listings or so is loading 10 maps - it likely bogs the
server down. But we are aware of it and are looking at
methods to improve it.
- Why are there not more gyms in airports?
- Do you have a tool that can show me current flight delays?
- Do you have a mobile site?
