We talk honestly about the onboard gym, fitness classes, outdoor workout spaces, and what it’s really like trying to stay active while also enjoying all the food onboard.We also get into what surprised her most, what works if fitness matters to you, and whether Virgin Voyages actually delivers when it comes to wellness at sea or if it’s just another cruise gym situation.If you care about fitness, food, and balance while traveling, this episode gives you a real look at what to expect on a Virgin Voyages cruise!Follow Caileen! https://linkin.bio/cailean_teamfflex/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnryr45rO-oTPLaw8lXJXSjU3wUedf3ItnxLiC_EWB2OQMprH5XYVDHrIpbZ0_aem_RNktCAwg6GzUUiNvoJEiCQ&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&utm_source=igJoin us for Girls Gone Cruisin' 2026!
