Two thirds of guests avoid hotels with below par gym facilities
Today’s travellers are increasingly prioritising health and fitness when choosing where to stay, and a hotel’s gym can be a deciding factor for many.

With over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry, their expert team works with hotels to turn gym projects from concept to reality, offering access to top global brands, bespoke layouts, and reliable aftercare.
Today’s travellers are increasingly prioritising their health and fitness when on the road. That’s according to a recent Instagram poll[1], where 67% of people said they avoid hotels that lack any sort of fitness offering, with a further 62% of participants saying they would pick one hotel over another based on the gym alone.
So a well-equipped gym can be a key deciding factor for guests when choosing where to stay, but for hotels, it can become a valuable revenue-generating asset. FS Commercial Division – an arm of Fitness Superstore that specialises in commercial fitness equipment sales – help hotels capitalise by creating modern fitness spaces that stand out from the crowd. Calling on over 30 years of experience within the fitness industry, their expert team can take your hotel gym project from vision to reality.
