Nowadays, hotels have become multifunctional spaces, where in addition to being a vacation accommodation option, business meetings, social or professional events can also be held, and guests can go for their SPA service or sports facilities.
Whether for pleasure or necessity, the practice of exercise is constantly growing and more and more travelers are taking this service into account when choosing a destination hotel.
Furthermore, the use of this service can be extended to customers who live near the area and who can use the facilities by paying a monthly fee, so that the profitability of this service covers more than just the exclusive use of the guests themselves.
Tips for adding a gym service to your hotel:
1. Opening Hours
Whether it's a leisure or business trip, your customers will appreciate flexible hours for using the facilities. Ideally, they should be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or only close during the early morning hours, for example, from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
2. Detailed information
We advise you to have qualified staff available for as long as possible, for the safety and convenience of your customers, as well as explanatory signs on how each machine works, rules for using the facilities and recommended training programs (standard circuits).
3. Audiovisual resources
A welcoming environment will enhance the customer experience, so we recommend installing individual monitors where customers can choose videos or music channels that match their personal tastes or exercise rhythm.
4. Training autonomy in the rooms
You can provide the client with small training equipment such as balls, weights or mats and provide training videos or a private television channel so they can train in the privacy of their rooms.
5. Training spaces
One of the many advantages you offer your clients by having a gym inside the hotel is that they don't depend on weather conditions to train; however, you can set up an outdoor area during the warmer seasons and offer them an extra space that they will surely appreciate.
Examples of machines you can install
Ideally, you should divide the space into three zones: cardio, weight training, and stretching, and in each of them offer a varied selection of machines suitable for each type of training.
1. Cardio zone:
In this area you would find a selection of treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical trainers and rowing machines.
2. Weight training area:
In this section we would find multi-function machines, weight benches, weights and dumbbells.
3. Stretching area:
In this area, you must have mats, fitness or pilates balls and rollers; they are essential for the beginning and end of every workout.
