The option to workout in the convince and privacy of your own hotel room has not been an option in the past for a number of reasons. The complications of sufficient space and quality hardware, as a non-permanent fixture at a reasonable cost, has made this type of service unavailable. The logistics of training, servicing, and liability, have also made the option seem cost prohibitive.
The IRF solution outfits hotels with specialized exercise
equipment so they can offer their fitness-minded guests an alternative
choice: In-Room Fitness. The service can be facilitated two different
ways.
The treadmills can be kept stationary in rooms that are classified
as "Fitness Rooms" or they can be delivered upon request. The
treadmills are lightweight and designed to fit through any hotel
doorway making room delivery as possible as roll away beds. Either
way there is an opportunity to provide this great new service as an upgrade to increase REVPAR by charging a nightly fee or to reward frequent travelers with a complimentary service. By simply adding an exercise solution in the room, the room
becomes marketable at a higher rate. Our experience shows that people
will pay from $10-25 more for this option. The rooms are presented as
more than just a treadmill in the room; it is an experience, a class
of room, it says something about the type of person a traveler is.
