When is gym empty?

[cruizergal70]

I usually workout early in the morning when the gym first opens (6 am). While it's not crowded, the crowd increases as time rolls on in the morning. 

 

Has anyone gone to the gym after 5 pm? Is there a crowd? When is the gym mostly empty?

Pre covid,

 

Usually on sea days I get up 9am ish, get some breakfast, we get 2 loungers out on the pool deck and I try to do a work-out about 1-2 pm. 

 

Only a couple people in the gym, steam room to myself.

 

Never tried 5pm, I would think not many people are thinking of the gym at that time.

I found it was usually busiest in the mornings, but if I went in the even like an hour before they closed it tended to be much emptier.  Sometimes I was the only one in there.

I find it quiet on port days. Go then!

4-6 pm is always a great time to use the gym.

I find the mornings to be busiest from opening (which is now 7 or 8 pm when I was on the elation 2 months ago) to about 9:30 am. 

 

It's usually the emptiest the hour before it closes.

Seriously, you are asking why the gym is mostly empty? Carnival is a booze and Buffet cruise. People complain pizza is not available 24 -7. I have never heard anyone complain about the gym hours or over crowding.

I didn't ask why.  I asked WHEN. There can be a crowd in the morning as I've experienced on some cruises.

OP love the question and I am following.... I never used the gym or spa on the ship until recently. On my 2 cruises since the restart I loved spending time in the gym and spa area. Those 2 cruises were well under capacity so I didn't get a true sense of how popular the area is but it was never crowded anytime.
