Indie hotel gym given New Year’s facelift
POSTED 19 Jan 2015 . BY Jak Phillips
The addition of Life Fitness Discover SE consoles means gym members can now use technology to tailor and track their workouts
The gym facilities at the Bedford Lodge Hotel and Spa in Newmarket have been given a major upgrade as the country property seeks to exude a “luxury ethos.”

The Victorian-era property, which once formed part of the estate of the sixth Duke of Bedford, wanted its gym to reflect the hotel’s recently upgraded review rating. As such, the 2,000 sq ft (186sq m) Edge Health and Fitness Club gym floor has been revamped by Life Fitness and now features new equipment including the supplier’s Discover SE Cardio, PowerMill, FlexStrider and the Insignia Series Strength Range. The fitness facility, which has 1,000 members, boasts a 15m (49ft) indoor heated pool, as well as a recently-updated spa area featuring a hydrotherapy pool, outdoor rooftop hot tub and a thermal area comprising a steamroom, sauna and hammam.

“In the last 12 months the hotel was upgraded by the AA from four Black Stars to four Red Stars in recognition of our excellent quality service and standards. We felt strongly that to follow our luxury ethos it was time for a change with our gym facilities,” said Bedford Lodge Hotel chief executive Noel Byrne.

“We believe it is truly an investment worth making for our members. The new equipment helps to make workouts fun, enjoyable and motivational for all ages and abilities."
