New Year's resolutions to stay fit and active can be put to the test when frequent business trips come into play. To help guests on the path to better health in 2017, Element Hotels, Marriott's eco-friendly hotel chain, promises guests even more ways to stay healthy and happy while on the road.
On top of wellness offerings that are already in place, which includes natural saline swimming pools and spacious fitness centers, Element has partnered with Your Trainer and MiiR bikes to bring guests a wider range of fitness offerings.
The Your Trainer app allows fitness enthusiasts to train anytime and anywhere thanks to workout videos that are customised for each person by monitoring guests' goals and considering their body type to achieve optimal results. Hotel guests can also enjoy the app's training, educational and motivational content. The workouts are around 10 minutes long and include circuit workouts, yoga and strengthening routines.
The other wellness offering, Bikes to Borrow, is a programme which offers guests complimentary use of bikes with helmets along with a local trail map, even in urban locations. Every Element Hotel around the world will have two MiiR bikes - one medium and one extra-large - available to guests.
Element Hotels currently have one property in Asia - Element Suzhou Science And Technology Town - but have at least 10 slated to open in the next several years, including Element Chongli, Element Foshan Nanhai and Element Kuala Lumpur which are scheduled to open this year.
