Whether you call Glenwood Springs, Colorado, home or you’re visiting for a weekend or weeklong getaway, there’s one place where fitness, wellness and pure relaxation come together. Glenwood Hot Springs Resort not only has seven mineral hot springs pools, but also the full-service, award-winning Athletic Club. Located alongside the Grand Pool (the world’s largest hot springs pool) and within the historic Stone Bath House, the Athletic Club combined with the geothermal waters keep locals and visitors feeling strong, balanced and rejuvenated all year long.
Train, Soak, Repeat: A Routine that Restores You
Imagine finishing your morning workout, then slipping into naturally heated, mineral-rich waters that melt away every ounce of tension. That’s not a daydream—it’s everyday life at Glenwood Hot Springs Resort.
The Athletic Club offers everything needed for year-round fitness:
- A fully equipped weight and cardio gym;
- Group fitness classes including yoga, Pilates, cycling, H20 Fit, TRX, tai chi and more;
- Racquetball and handball courts;
- Indoor hot tub, steam room and dry sauna; and
- Separate locker rooms for Athletic Club members, day pass holders and guests of the new Hotel 1888, also located within the Stone Bath House.
Here, fitness isn’t just about strength—it’s about balance, renewal and the art of feeling better every single day. And this isn’t just any fitness membership; it comes with access to the healing hot springs pools right outside a semi-private entrance.
Not only can you soak to your heart’s content, but there are also lap-swimming lanes in the Grand Pool’s 90-93°F water; the warmer Therapy Pool that is 104°F and has jetted chairs and power showers to soothe sore muscles; and Yampah Mineral Baths’ five pools of varying temperatures, including two cold plunge pools for recovery. All are fed by the original, on-site Yampah Source Spring, that delivers 3.5 million gallons of water featuring 15 minerals to the resort daily. The Ute tribe was among the first to discover the benefits of this hot spring and named it Yampah, meaning “Big Medicine.”
For Locals: Your Everyday Wellness Escape
Locals know that when the snow falls or the warm summer sun is set against a bluebird sky, the Athletic Club remains a steady source of health and connection. It’s more than a gym; it’s a community with people to exercise with and a team to cheer you on, including personal trainers and professional instructors who lead free and fee-based classes.
Membership unlocks unlimited access to all club amenities and the hot springs pools during business hours, with the Grand Pool dating back to the resort’s opening day on July 4, 1888. That means early swims in 90°F waters, winter laps under the steam as snowflakes gently fall, and rejuvenating Therapy Pool soaks and cold plunge pool dips after an intense workout. In addition, towel service is provided and monthly member social events are offered.

For Visitors: Fitness on Vacation, Wellness for Life
Traveling doesn’t have to interrupt your wellness routine. Guests staying at Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge or Hotel 1888 enjoy unlimited access to the world’s largest hot springs pool during pool hours, which serve as the perfect post-adventure recovery.
Skiing or snowboarding at Sunlight Mountain Resort, hiking to Hanging Lake, or rafting the Colorado River? End the day by indulging in the soothing hot springs waters and you’ll be ready for your next adventure by morning.
Day visitors passing through on Interstate 70 or staying in nearby communities like Vail, Aspen, Carbondale and Basalt also can take advantage with day passes to the pools and the Athletic Club. Combine pool access, impactful fitness options and pure relaxation for a truly memorable Glenwood Springs experience. Vibrant downtown Glenwood Springs is only steps away from Glenwood Hot Springs Resort over the pedestrian bridge, which borders the west end of the hot springs pools, making it easy to spend a whole day and evening here. And don’t forget to take a selfie when crossing the bridge!
