Zuiderdam Gym

Has anyone used this facility in the past? Is there a trainer on duty during the day or is it geared more for the experienced gym rats onboard? :)

All HAL ships have 1 or 2 European trained workers. They can design a program for you for a fee and they can monator your progress for a fee. They also direct the arobics and other pay for gym activites.

For a fee? Gee, just wanted to use the treadmill for 30 minutes a day. :(

If you just want to use the treadmill for 30 minutes a day, why would you need a trainer?

The use of the equipment is free to all passengers over a certain age (fourteen I believe). The trainer will charge you if you use his/her time to monitor your level of achievement during your work-out. You also will be charged for any optional services or for the trainer to develop and monitor a program.

There is no fee to use any of the gym equipment.


On our recent Maasdam cruise, I was in the gym at 6:30 many mornings and used the treadmill. There was no charge to use it as long as I wished.

They had the usual sorts of machines but no ellipiticals. I was hoping there would be some but there were plenty of treadmills. I never had to wait to use one.

Can anyone tell me the hours that gym is open? Also, was there ever a time that it was busy.

Thanks for the info

On Maasdam, it opened at 6:00 A.M. and closed about 9:00 P.M. I assume it is about the same on all of the ships.

Thanks for the informtion. Hopefully I will continue my workout program on the ship.

When I got to the gym at 6:30 in the morning, I was surprised to find a fair number of people there. It was not mobbed and everyone who wanted a machine got what they wanted, but I had "plenty of company". I think on Zuiderdam you will find it even busier.

Husband gets to the gym at 6 AM - sometimes I think he opens the gyms on some ships.

There have been times on some cruises when there was a line up waiting for the door to be unlocked and everyone was making a bee-line for the treadmills.

Sea days are the busiest.

I agree the treadmills are the most popular machines but I was able to get one everytime I went to the gym. I never had to wait for one to free up. Luckily; Happily :)
