Why Fitness spaces in hotels are helping to generate sales!
Let’s kick this off with a question - Are gym facilities a priority to you when booking a hotel stay?
As wellness becomes ever more entrenched in people’s everyday decisions and lifestyles, we’re seeing leading hotel brands across the globe taking special measures to meet traveller demands.
There are several reasons why people enjoy working out in hotels:
Convenience: Having a gym or fitness centre on-site at a hotel can make it easy for travellers to maintain their fitness routine while on the road.
Comfort: Some people may feel more comfortable working out in a hotel gym rather than looking for one in an unfamiliar place.
Stress relief: Exercise can be a great way to relieve stress, and many travellers may find that working out in a hotel gym can help them relax and unwind after a long day of travel or business meetings.
Health and wellness: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important for many people, and working out in a hotel gym can help travellers achieve their fitness goals and stay healthy while on the road.
Cost: Many hotels offer complimentary access to their gym and fitness facilities for hotel guests, which can save money for some travellers and result in better hotel ratings.
For the hotel, it also holds massive benefits:
Guest satisfaction: Providing a gym is a value-add service that can improve guest satisfaction and lead to positive reviews and repeat business. It can also help guests relax and de-stress after a long day of travel or work.
Attractiveness: Offering a gym can make a hotel more attractive to guests who prioritize wellness and fitness. It can also help differentiate the hotel from competitors and potentially increase bookings.
The best equipment for a hotel gym can vary depending on your hotel's budget, space, and target market. However, some popular and essential pieces of equipment that can provide a full-body workout and accommodate different fitness levels include:
- Treadmill
- Elliptical machine
- Stationary bike
- Free weights (dumbbells, kettlebells)
- Resistance bands
- Stability balls
- Weight machines (leg press, chest press, lat pulldown)
- Yoga mats
It's also important to provide adequate space for stretching, functional training, and bodyweight exercises. Additionally, offering amenities like water bottles, towels, and TV screens can enhance the overall experience for guests.
Overall, wellness and fitness areas in hotels are now much more than a passing trend, but a consolidated reality that continues to grow: and the numbers speak for themselves.
According to the Global Wellness Institute, in fact, the sector at a global level is now worth more than 4,200 billion dollars, of which 639 billion are related to wellness tourism chosen by 586 million people, second only to cultural tourism.
