London’s Corinthia Hotel has today expanded its fitness and wellness offering with the launch of a new hybrid fitness concept called BodySPace.

Housed within its luxury spa, ESPA Life, BodySPace combines fitness, nutrition, wellness and innovative technology to provide hotel guests and visitors with personalised programmes designed to optimise health by improving energy levels, sleep quality, exercise performance and strength.

“Through BodySPace we will offer the best scientifically and medically underpinned fitness, nutrition, Pilates and transformational lifestyle programmes available today,” said wellness consultant Stephen Price, who created the concept in partnership with Bootcamp Pilates founder David Higgins.

Speaking to Health Club Management at the launch event, he added: “David and I have consulted in the hotel industry for years and we thought we’d now put it all together. So we brought in some health technologies from medical wellness clinics and from sports, and added them to David’s vast Pilates and body movement experience, and it worked out perfectly.”

The concept utilises heart rate variability monitoring technology from HeartMath and Firstbeat, to provide clients with personalised insights on stress, exercise and recovery via heart variability data. These insights are then combined with tailored fitness training, nutrition and gut health services, regeneration and compression treatments, and myofascial release ‘Dynamix’ therapy to produce “life-changing benefits”.

ESPA Founder Sue Harmsworth said: “This is a wonderful evolution for ESPA Life and our philosophy of creating next-generation experiences. BodySPace is bringing a new, highly evolved fitness and nutrition offering, which fits flawlessly within the existing ESPA Life offering.”

Programmes offered by BodySPace include the Health Optimisation Programme, Digestive Health Solution and Body Transformation Programme, and last between 10 days and 12 weeks.
