Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:HOT) and its much anticipated new lifestyle brand, aloft
hotels, today announced an industry-exclusive partnership with PumpOne. The
partnership—designed for the tech-savvy aloft hotel guest—is the new tWist in on-the-road fitness
programs.
aloft hotels, Starwood's eighth hotel lifestyle brand, opens its doors to
guests this summer. All aloft hotels feature re:charge
—a purpose-built
fitness facility with state-of-the-art equipment from Life Fitness ®. The 650
square foot space is designed to combine fitness and fun.
PumpOne provides convenient, customizable workout programs for use with image
and video-ready handheld devices such as the iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, Treo and
others. Created in 2005 by Craig Schlossberg, a pioneering software engineer,
and Declan Condron, an exercise physiologist and exclusive New York personal trainer, PumpOne designs
personal training programs which make it easy for guests to take their routines
with them when they travel on the road.
"Our guests tell us that fitness is a priority and that while traveling,
it can be challenging to stay on track" said Robin Korman, Vice President
of Marketing for aloft hotels. "PumpOne is the ideal fitness partner, with
technology at the foundation of their workouts. We are working closely with
them to design workouts specifically for aloft guest rooms and re:charge, as
well as workouts that utilize everyday travel items such as suitcases and water
bottles."
The aloft hotels / PumpOne partnership features "a-workout"—PumpOne's
downloadable fitness programs—complimentary to guests; menu items endorsed to
promote healthy living from aloft hotel's grab-and-gourmet pantry —re:fuel by aloft
; and exclusive
entertainment content for SPG TV, the aloft in-room TV channel. In addition to
content already available from PumpOne, the fitness company will develop 21
customized workouts, three workouts for each of seven fitness programs from
cross training to yoga.
aloft hotel guests can download aloft-customized, introductory workouts from
each of seven fitness categories to their computers, PDAs, iPods and iPhones.
These devices can then be linked to the aloft plug and play device which links
to the 42" LCD television screen in each guest room. Guests will also be
able to purchase full-length customized aloft / PumpOne workouts through the aloft
broadband channel while visiting and through http://www.alofthotels.com.
"Starwood's aloft brand is the perfect partner for on-the-go
workouts," says Craig Schlossberg, President of PumpOne. "We know it
is difficult to maintain a fitness regimen on the road. aloft hotel's unique
sensibility of offering affordable high design and tech-savvy experiences while
traveling matches PumpOne's mission of providing clear concise personal
training guidance in the most portable and affordable format."
