theclub at DoubleTree by Hilton, at Cadbury house in Congresbury has completed a £600,000 refurbishment of its facilities, in addition becoming the first venue in the world to use Renew energy harvesting technology from Technogym’s Artis line.

The new equipment harnesses the human energy used at the gym and feeds it directly into the facility’s power grid, significantly reducing the running costs of the fitness centre.

The club has installed 42 new pieces of equipment, including cardio, strength and functional pieces from the Artis range.

“Not only does the new kit look great, it is ergonomically designed to maximise the training experience and will provide our members with the optimum workout,” said Jason Eaton, general manager at theclub. “Moreover we are leveraging human movement to offset the level of energy needed to power the club which is great for the environment.”

Cadbury House is the first site to install the Renew technology which is available across the Artis cardio range.
