For you fitness lovers, Pullman Hotels & Resorts and its fitness partner Les Mills are introducing their newest Pullman Fitness Squad. It’s an extraordinary group of fitness ambassadors specially chosen from around the world.

“Forward-thinking, hyper-connected and ambitious, each Fitness Squad member was selected by Pullman guests to represent Pullman’s passion for fitness and performance,” said Mehdi Hemici, Senior Vice President, Loyalty & Partnerships, Accor.

“To make the most of the newly expanded program, we will also work very closely with each squad member to showcase Pullman’s strengths with their own respective communities, add greater value for local fitness enthusiasts and attract new members to the Pullman world,” he added.

They are going to lead Pullman wellbeing and fitness initiatives, represent Pullman Power Fitness, and oversee the full range of Pullman X Les Mills live classes, on-property boot camps, and other special events.

 

Pullman Power Fitness

Pullman Power Fitness crosses the lines between a traditional hotel gym and a boutique fitness brand by providing everyone with a dynamic, exciting, and cutting-edge workout experience. Including you, non-fitness lovers.

It is more than a gym; it embraces a new era of training diversity, integrated technology, and peer support to help Pullman guests stay on top of their fitness game.

The collaboration with Les Mills allows the Pullman Power Fitness community to fully realize their potential while also harnessing the world's largest creator of choreographed exercise-to-music group fitness sessions.

As a result, Pullman X Les Mills is the world's first boutique fitness hotel, providing innovative fitness courses, in-room exercise facilities, tough boot camps, and Fitness Squad events around the clock.

Anna Henwood, Chief Marketing Officer of Les Mills International, said that she hoped LES MILLS On Demand in all Pullman hotels could help more people access fitness benefits. She also hoped that it would help their mission of creating a fitter planet.

“We want people to enjoy our workouts and the collaborative live streaming of a LES MILLS BODYPUMP inspired workout will help people globally to kickstart their fitness journey towards health and happiness,” said Henwood.

The Pullman Power Fitness experience was the product of innovation. It was created due to the innovation demand by the consumer for new and exciting fitness concepts. Through this program, you can meet the challenging and inspiring workout offerings that allow you to feel and perform at your best, no matter where you are.

 

The Guinness World Record in aim

Pullman and Les Mills are teaming together in November to break the Guinness World Record for the largest virtual fitness class. The event will be held in Dubai, at the Pullman Dubai Downtown, with all six Power Fitness Squad ambassadors in attendance to teach different segments of the virtual fitness class live-streamed worldwide.

The Pullman Fitness Squad will collaborate with select Pullman properties in the coming months and into next year to deliver results-driven, engaging, and interactive fitness boot camp experiences and events in some of the world's most beautiful destinations.
