    I've read that many truck stops have gyms now. Flying J was one and I think TA was the other Their websites have little to no info.

    Any info on locations? Are there enough of them out there that a driver could probably find one ever night/day when he stops for his 10 hours?

    No Flying J's have them that Im aware of... TA and Petro are the only chain that offers workout rooms at a few select locations.... Finding one every night is gonna be a tough task... You can pick up the TA/Petro monthly magazine that they put out and in the back of it there is a list of what locations offer workout rooms...

    LOL ..... 19yrs out here and yet to see one ?
    Someone's not very observant.
    To the OP, as someone already posted the TA's and Petro. Do remember reading last year on here when learning about truck driving, one driver can't remember who but he posted he made it a point to look up on his routing for any gyms nearby which he would use on his break. He was a member of one of the chain gyms but did say he would pay $10 for a day pass to a gym to get a workout and use the shower afterwards.

    No fitness stops as far as Ive seen..Jump into some gym shorts and take a 20 minute jog around the stop. Usually I'll strap 5 pound velcro weights to each ankle and carry 5 pound weights in each hand and off I go.

    Surprisingly I have actually seen one at a flying j. The j on I-20 exit 472 in south side Dallas, TX has a snap fitness. Still haven't seen many others though.
