The Approach

Independent / Practical / Experience-led

Tony Larkman Consulting operates independently from equipment suppliers and gym design companies. This ensures that advice is always focused on the needs of the hotel and its guests rather than on selling equipment.

Tony brings decades of experience as an athlete, coach and personal trainer working with people across a very wide age range. His clients have included athletes, beginners, business professionals and older adults, ranging from teenage years through to people in their 80s.

This experience provides a practical understanding of how different people use gyms and what makes a facility feel approachable, safe and effective.
