It’s only fitting that a hotel situated on the site of one of the most famous muscle building beaches of all times, would institute a special “Fit for Fun” promotion.
Loews Santa Monica Beach is attempting to trim the fat and keep guests in shape with a wellness program designed for families who travel together. “Santa Monica is the birthplace of physical fitness,” said Paul Leclerc, managing director of Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. “This program allows families to experience one of Santa Monica’s iconic attractions while staying active, healthy, and most importantly, while having fun.”
If you enjoy taking mini staycations close to home, you might want to check into Loews for a couple of nights of R&R, (room service and recreation as the Diva likes to say), and while you’re at participate in the program that includes:
• Yoga on Muscle Beach
• “Rings & Swings” Playtime on Muscle Beach
• Culinary tours of the famed Santa Monica Farmers’ Market with Chef Keith Roberts
• Adventure bike rides along Muscle Beach’s star-studded bike path
• Guided hikes through the Santa Monica Mountains
• “Run from the paparazzi” jogging tours
• Surfing and stand up paddle lessons
• Indoor fitness classes, including Hula Hoop Fitness, Spinning, Pilates and Zumba
The wellness programs are led by State of the Heart Fitness, an award-winning team of exercise physiologists, certified personal trainers and lifestyle coaches, based at the hotel’s Ocean Spa & Fitness. The team offers a variety of exercise, fitness and wellness programs that embrace the philosophy that optimal health and well-being is created through a balance of exercise, eating and stress management.
Named one of the “Best Hotel Spas” by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler, Ocean Spa & Fitness at Santa Monica Beach Hotel features state-of-the-art cardio equipment by Technogym, including six treadmills, seven elliptical machines, three exercise bikes, one rowing machine, one Excite top hand machine and two cardio waves – all equipped with iPod docking stations and personal televisions.
Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel’s Fit for Fun activities are offered for children aged five and up; prices vary per activity and range from $10 to $250. Children under 18 must be supervised by an adult. All activities can be custom-tailored to meet each family’s individual needs or fitness levels.
As an added feature, coming in time for spring break, kids can stay and eat forfree with the hotel’s “Spring Break” Package featuring nightly accommodations in a luxury oceanfront guestroom or suite as well as complimentary meals for children 12 and under for the duration of their visit at the hotel’s Ocean & Vine and Blue Streak restaurants.
Prices start at $359 a night. For reservations call 800-23-LOEWS or visit www.loewshotels.com/santamonica.
