From embracing virtual fitness experiences to thinking beyond a single room to deliver fitness opportunities, hoteliers will benefit by giving the fitness experience in their hotel a complete makeover.
It’s been a while since the hotel fitness center was little more than a lesser-used room on the lower floor of most hotels.
