Q: What is the biggest problem for travelers looking to stay fit and how does your site help them?
A: Many travelers complain about poor quality hotel fitness facilities, but Healthy Travel Network fills the information gap with our Fit Hotels Directory. We provide up-to-date information on hotels with great fitness equipment as well as the latest hotel fitness programs.
Q: Do any of the hotels found in your database offer exercise dvd's or other hotel room fitness options?
A: Plenty of them. For example, Fitness Suite has partnered with LodgeNet, the leader in in-room entertainment, to bring you a host of fitness videos ranging from yoga and TaiChi to aerobics, kick boxing, and strength training. Their videos are available in more than 75,000 hotel rooms worldwide. Westin takes it a step further, offering a workout room with an exercise bike and spinning DVD’s.
Q: What would you recommend for somebody who prefers a hotel room workout?
A: I recommend planning ahead for outdoor activities such as running or walking, or bringing along your own portable gym in the form of a workout DVD and/or compact exercise kit with resistance bands and instructions for body weight exercises.
Q: Does your site provide info about gyms that are walking distance from hotels?
A: Our Fit Hotels directory provides detailed information about both the on-site equipment, as well as nearby gyms. We also highlight hotels that offer amenities such as running/walking maps or nearby hiking.
