Hotel Fitness Experiences to Delight Business, Leisure & Bleisure Travelers

Based on the needs of the Traditionalist, Disciplined and Wellness Seeker, Life Fitness has identified six core fitness experiences that hotels should design fitness spaces around. These experiences can be used to customize fitness spaces for your core demographic or desired guest segment.
 

Luxury Fitness Experience 

The Luxury Fitness Experience has the broadest appeal and meets the needs of Traditionalist, Disciplined and Wellness Seeker fitness enthusiasts. Its elegant and luxurious design allows guests to take care of physical health through strength, cardio and functional training. Stretching and relaxing areas cater to mental health needs. Digital content provides entertainment as well as instruction. And social wellbeing is provided by areas for group training or instructor-led online classes. 

In-Room Fitness Experience  

Providing an In-Room Fitness Experience best serves The Disciplined and The Wellness Seeker guests. These customizable experiences provide the biggest opportunity for you to differentiate your hotel from other properties and generate additional revenue from in-room amenities provided. It serves the needs of guests desiring comfort, privacy, increased security and cleanliness. It also appeals to travelers with tight schedules. It’s ideal for fitness enthusiasts who want to fit in stretching or a quick strength workout. And integrated fitness solutions can help guests multitask while working out. For example, they can watch a business presentation or hold meetings on the cardio equipment consoles. 

Energizing Fitness Experience 

The Energizing Fitness Experience encourages Traditionalist fitness enthusiasts to disconnect and engage with their fitness goals in an efficiently laid-out space. This is a fantastic option for hotels with space constraints. The design helps guests start their day with renewed energy. Selected equipment provides full-body strength workouts as well as cardiovascular training. Plus, there is space for functional training. This provides multiple experiences that can improve health, productivity and maintain personal fitness routines.
