Tony Larkman Consulting provides independent audits of hotel gym facilities to ensure they are practical, welcoming and aligned with the needs of today’s travellers. Tony Larkman has spent over two decades working in strength and conditioning, coaching athletes and everyday clients and understands how people actually use gym equipment in practice
Hotel gyms are increasingly important when guests choose where to stay. In today’s world of social media, health awareness and active lifestyles, travellers expect access to facilities that allow them to continue their training routines while away from home. However, many hotel gyms are well designed visually but poorly used in practice. Often this happens because facilities are designed by architects or equipment suppliers who may not fully understand how modern guests actually train.
A successful hotel gym should work for a wide range of guests — from business travellers maintaining their routine to serious athletes preparing for events and from beginners to older guests who want to remain active and healthy.
Why Hotel Gyms Often Underperform
Many hotel gyms fail to meet guest expectations because:
- Equipment is purchased without understanding how guests actually train
- Space is poorly planned, making gyms feel cramped or under-used
- Expensive machines are installed but rarely used
- Functional training areas are missing
- The gym doesn’t reflect the overall standard of the hotel
A professional audit helps identify these issues and provides practical recommendations to improve usability, guest satisfaction and long-term value.
