Final Workout for 2025: The Hotel Gym Workout Edition!

Video Description

Closing out 2025 with a hotel gym workout in Louisville, Kentucky — and it ended up being way better equipped than I expected (hello: Smith machine, cables, and dumbbells up to 100s). In this video, I’ll show you exactly how I approach training when I’m in a totally new gym environment: • how I decide what muscle groups to prioritize • how I choose exercises based on the equipment available • why I’m fine using partials when full ROM doesn’t feel right and how I quickly build a custom session using my app’s “build your own” feature (so travel never becomes an excuse) If you’re traveling, training in a hotel gym, or your normal program doesn’t match what you have access to, this one will help you stay consistent and get a legit session in anyway. Drop your questions below (training, nutrition, travel workouts, anything) — I read the comments and I’m happy to help.
