Speedflex, known for its innovative ‘HIIT Without The Hurt’ training method, is uniquely placed to solve issues in low-staff facilities, such as gyms in hotels and spas.

The Speedflex Blade offers over 100 on-demand workouts accessible through an intuitive touchscreen. From 10-minute warm-ups and quick workouts, to full 45 minute-long HIIT sessions, all are led by on-screen master trainers guiding and motivating users throughout the sessions.

Proprietary technology renders Speedflex suitable for everyone aged 18-80+, no matter their fitness ability, as the machine responds to each user's individual effort level. This means they get high-intensity workouts without joint pressure or pain and no post-workout DOMS.

Ideal for hotels, spas and unstaffed clubs
This makes the Speedflex Blade the ultimate tool for gyms in hotels, spas and other fitness destinations, enabling guests and members to be coached through a workout that’s uniquely inclusive and suited to their own ability.

The Speedflex Blade has been a huge success as part of the Kettering Park Hotel’s recent gym revamp, offering guests ‘HIIT Without The Hurt’ on demand, without them needing supervision.

“We’re excited to offer customers a unique fitness experience that’s suitable for all, no matter their age or fitness ability,” says Gemma Barratt, group spa director. “The Speedflex Blade is the perfect addition to our new gym, as it’s intuitive and inclusive and having a trainer guide you and motivate you through your workouts is amazing. We’re sure it’s going to be a big hit.”

Premium partnerships
Speedflex is also proud to partner with other premium hotel destinations, including Village Gym and Hotels, Kingsley Hotel and QHotels, where customers have been loving their tailored workouts on demand.

James Smith, director of sales UK for Speedflex said, “We’ve completed a number of installs at hotels and spas and seen incredible success with guests and members.

“Speedflex technology is hugely beneficial to every gym-goer, so it’s exciting to be included as part of Kettering Park Hotel’s stunning gym revamp. We’re looking forward to continuing expanding into the hotel market and working with Kettering Park Hotel to help maximise the effectiveness of members’ workouts.

“The revolutionary Speedflex kit is enhancing the way in which gym-goers are working out, especially without the presence of a gym trainer and is definitely a must-have for all hotel gyms,” he said.
