Hotel CrossFit workout ideas
Traveling can make your workout routine less than ideal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a great work out in. You can find a local gym, take it outdoors or you can do a hotel Crossfit workout.
Most of us will most likely use a hotel gym when we are away out of convenience. Whatever your workout calls for, you can use weights, cable machines, or whatever else they may have in there. Most workouts can be adapted with or without exercise equipment.
And if for some reason, you can’t use the gym, you can do a bodyweight workout in your room.
What does a hotel CrossFit workout consist of?
You can use a variety of different exercises to create a workout that works for you and your fitness level.
Some of the staple exercises include jumping jacks, air squats, burpees, push-ups, sit-ups, Tabata squats and pull ups.
Types of hotel workout of the day you can do:
- Tabata style workouts
- Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM) workouts
- Bodyweight workouts
- Running workouts
- Hero WOD workouts
Some of my favorite workouts are Tabata workouts because you can get a full-body workout in a short amount of time. Tabata style workouts are 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest periods.
You can hit major muscles even with minimal equipment by being creative in your approach to your workout.

CrossFit aims to improve fitness through constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. Functional movements are ways our bodies move in daily life, including sitting down and standing up, carrying objects, picking up something off the ground, etc.
Can you do CrossFit without equipment?
Yes. All you need is your body and some basic moves such as squats, lunges, push-ups and sit-ups, all of which can be done without equipment.
These bodyweight exercises, meaning they require no external weighting such as dumbbells or kettlebells (which many people don’t travel with anyway).
