Speedflex enters hotel market, signs deal with The QHotels Collection

21 Nov 2023
/ Speedflex
Speedflex, pioneer of the revolutionary HIIT Without The Hurt training method, has expanded its collection into the hotel market, with its recent installation at DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort, part of the QHotels Collection.

The Speedflex Blade is the perfect addition to a hotel gym floor thanks to the inbuilt touchscreen with over 100 fully coached workouts that guide the user through each session, replacing the need for a personal trainer.

Unique technology means that guests of all fitness levels can benefit from a safe and effective workout, with no need to adjust any settings or hold any prior knowledge.

Group director of golf, health club & spa at The QHotels Collection, Keith Pickard, said: "We’re constantly striving to enhance our guests' experience and partnering with Speedflex allows us to provide the very latest in connected fitness for our guests and members.

“The workout is both safe and inclusive which makes it the perfect fit for our diverse range of customers. Our guests can now enjoy a revolutionary fitness experience during their stay, reaffirming our commitment to offering the best amenities and services at The QHotels Collection."

The standout feature of the Speedflex Blade lies in its ability to eliminate post-exercise soreness, ensuring that users can fully enjoy their next-day travel plans without any discomfort.

Whether heading out on a business trip or a leisure excursion, Speedflex technology guarantees time won't be compromised by sore muscles. It's the perfect solution for those who want to stay active and pain-free, regardless of their itinerary.

In addition, James Smith, director of sales UK, Speedflex, commented: "We’re thrilled to venture into the hotel market, with the Speedflex Blade set to transform fitness experiences within these spaces.

“This state-of-the-art equipment requires no complicated settings; users can simply press start, and begin working out.

“What sets the Blade apart is its seamless integration of on-demand content, offering access to a diverse library of over 100 workouts. It's an immersive, effortless adventure that promises both convenience and fun."

Testimonial
"Jubilee Hall Trust has been pleasantly surprised with the Speedflex units. Not because of how good they are, the ease of use and the smoothness of movement - we knew they were good! We were surprised by how many of our senior customers used it, intuitively and without prompt.
Many operators have machines which are challenging for certain demographics of our community to use, least of all our seniors! But Speedflex is different. I have seen customers approach it for the first time, play on the screen and easily start a workout, and better still, they say their joints didn't hurt either.
Whilst many operators would put two units next to a rig, we have one in an open space and another in a quiet space; more private, less on show. It’s this unit the majority of individual users go to. Yes, the studio classes are better for having one but don’t rule out having one as part of your special populations area too.
I was surprised how well Speedflex sits in both camps. HIIT Without the HURT, perfect for classes and studio but equally as good for seniors to do those all-important compound movements; Osteoporosis fighting, strength training. Riskfree."

– Jon Giles, chief executive, Jubilee Hall Trust
