What to look for when setting up the cardio area in the hotel gym?

One of the most important pillars in fitness training is endurance or cardio training. When you think of a gym, you automatically think of cardio equipment like treadmills or cross trainers. However, special requirements apply to a hotel's fitness room. Space is often limited, so it's important to design workout options that appeal to as many guests as possible. But what should you look out for? Which cardio equipment is particularly popular? How can the cardio area be set up and designed to be as effective and appealing as possible? We have summarized the most important points for you below.

What cardio equipment is available?

The selection of cardio equipment has grown in recent years and is almost unmanageably diverse for anyone who does not use fitness equipment on a daily basis. In order to make an informed choice here, it is important to get an overview.

Treadmill - the classic among cardio equipment

The treadmill is one of the best known cardio machines. Treadmills allow training with a variable load level. The running performance is easily measurable and the training success can be tracked at any time. Electric treadmills allow the setting of different training programs, the pace and various levels of difficulty. Treadmills without a motor are a little more demanding in learning the correct running technique, but offer an even more effective workout with a calorie consumption increased by about 20% compared to an electric treadmill. A disadvantage of the treadmill - for example, compared to the cross trainer - is the somewhat greater load on the joints.

Bicycle ergometers - joint-friendly training for everyone

Ergometers are still one of the absolute favorites in cardio training. The workout is absolutely gentle on the joints and can be used by almost anyone. Beginners in fitness training benefit from training with the ergometer just as much as advanced users - age and stature also play only a minor role in the workout. Modern bicycle ergometers allow a watt-precise adjustment of the power as well as the selection of different programs and difficulty levels.

Crosstrainer - elliptical motion sequences for a weightless workout feeling

Crosstrainers, also known as elliptical trainers, have become indispensable in the cardio sector. Crosstrainers score points for their high calorie consumption and natural, elliptical motion sequence. This means that the joints are optimally protected. The training is suitable for almost everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.

Rowing machine - demanding cardio training for advanced users

The rowing machine offers one of the most demanding, but also most effective cardio workouts of all. Around 80% of the entire musculature is used when training with the rowing machine and up to 800 calories can be burned per hour. When training with the rowing machine, however, it is also particularly important to pay attention to the correct posture and to avoid mistakes. The rowing machine is especially fun for those who have already built up a good level of fitness and are advanced in cardio training. Those who have never trained with the rowing machine should seek advice from an experienced trainer beforehand.

Stepper - the workout for legs and buttocks

Steppers primarily strengthen the thigh and buttock muscles. This makes the machine extremely popular, especially with the female target group. Compared to other cardio equipment, training with the stepper puts a somewhat higher load on the joints. At the same time, the stepper is ideally suited for demanding HIIT units and ensures a particularly beautiful silhouette of the lower body.

Indoor Bike - trend sport "Spinning

Indoor bikes are modeled after real bicycles and were originally developed by racing cyclists for weather-independent training with an authentic "bike factor". Today, indoor bikes are primarily used in spinning classes. The popular workout is a real trend and inspires thousands of exercisers. It involves training in a group to rhythmic, driving music, with athletes motivating each other to peak performance. Indoor bikes tend to appeal to a younger demographic, and although they are considered cardio equipment, they are often better placed in classrooms than in actual cardio areas.

Space requirements and selection of cardio equipment

For each piece of equipment, you should expect an area of about 4-5 square meters, including paths and circulation around the equipment. Current surveys among exercisers and gym operators show that most exercisers opt for the classics when it comes to cardio training - cross trainers, treadmills and ergometers are the most popular cardio machines of all. For female members, the stepper follows in the rankings, while male exercisers statistically prefer a rowing machine. The indoor bike hardly plays a role in the perception of cardio exercisers, but it is hard to imagine courses without it. Exotics such as SkiErg ometers or rowing ergometers are popular, but they are more the icing on the cake in terms of variety than they are considered indispensable for cardio training.

Conclusion

When setting up the cardio area in your hotel's fitness room, it's important to choose cardio equipment that will appeal to as many exercisers as possible. It's best to go for the classics. If there is enough space, you can add popular equipment such as steppers or rowing machines, depending on the hotel's main target group. It is also important to plan enough space around the cardio equipment so that the exercisers have the necessary freedom.
