With McDonalds lurking in every terminal, airports pose a potential threat to the average healthy person.
On my recent travels I had a few hours to kill in the Boston International Airport and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an abundance of healthy choices — I know this because I was looking for fries (even I have a weakness for them) and couldn't find them. Every terminal offers up healthy eats — I was able to score hummus and veggies — and you can also get in a workout.
The Hilton, which is connected to the airport via Skybridge, offers $10 day passes to its health club. They'll even sell you a disposable bathing suit for $8 if you want to do a few laps in the pool. How refreshing? Had I discovered this earlier, I would have utilized the opportunity to get in a quick workout instead of wandering the terminal looking for something to do, which ended up being stuffing sour patch kids down my throat.
If you're not going to be at the Boston Logan Airport any time soon but will be traveling, be sure to check out if the airport you'll be visiting has a gym. You'd be surprised by how many offer access to exercise facilities.

This is cool to hear since I'm moving to Boston in August!
1wow..that's pretty cool
2Cool! I always try to walk around the concourse before my flight anyway, but it would be super cool to have access to a gym.
3That would be so awesome if you had a long layover!
4Just stay away from Dunkin Donuts there. I was sick for a week & a half after a Boston layover.
5I hope airport gyms offer showers. I've never been to one and I love the idea, but I would hate to be on a long flight next to someone who had just gotten off the treadmill.
6Sour patch kids.. yum.
7What?! A gym and pool in the hilton and its connected? What terminal? I am from Boston but I hate logan (as most people do). I didn't know this though maybe I will check it out on my next flight.
8i'm moving to boston in august too!!
9A disposable swim suit? I'm curious but it doesn't sound pretty.
10Fit, did you vacation in Boston or just have a layover there? I'm going to be there in July for a few days and would take any restaurant/shopping/activity ideas you can share. Good tips on the airport food & fitness! Thanks.
