Spa trends: Movement programming evolution
Daniel Sprung, senior director, partnerships and commercial Peloton Commercial EMEA, explains why smart equipment should be part of every spa's equation
Why do you think movement therapies are changing in spas?
The definition of wellness has shifted; it’s become more holistic and encompasses fitness, sleep, recovery, nutrition and mindfulness.
Spa guests around the world now seek not only to maintain their wellbeing through relaxing therapies, but also to enhance it through physical activity, strength and meditation practices.
The consumers’ conscious pursuit of comprehensive holistic wellness has naturally led spas to seek out new combinations of movement and fitness offerings.
How can a spa build fitness into its menu?
From a facility point of view, effective use of space is crucial. Adding smart, practical, state-of-the-art equipment into the wellness equation can complement guests’ physical and mental wellness journey, but that offer can’t take away space from more traditional wellness.
Peloton Bike+ is a compact way for spas to offer full-body workouts without the need for a dedicated fitness space. Guests can go from a cardio workout on the bike to strength, yoga or mediation with the turn of a screen in UK properties including Raffles London at The OWO, Claridges and The Savoy.
App-based fitness is here to stay. Creating your own app can be costly and fraught with problems, but utilising an existing service like the Peloton App enables everyone to try thousands of curated classes from outdoor runs to yoga and meditation.
Spas that perhaps lack space and facilities can still personalise their guests’ fitness journey with an app, ensuring they’re able to push themselves physically before setting aside some time to rejuvenate and unwind. www.onepeloton.co.uk
