Life Fitness/Hammer Strength has been a long-time partner of choice for Hyatt Regency Chicago, the largest hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois, supporting its fitness facility for more than 15 years.

Following a $150 million renovation, the Hyatt Regency Chicago aimed to create a fitness facility that 1) aligned with their mission of “caring for people to be their best” and 2) recognized the growing trend, reinforced by Life Fitness data, that guests choose hotels based on amenities like the gym. Life Fitness approached the project as a trusted advisor, collaborating with the Hyatt team to design a facility that truly elevates the guest workout experience.

The Hyatt Regency Chicago is the first hotel in the world to offer its guests the ultimate cardio sensory experience with the new Symbio™ cardio line from Fitness. Symbio fuses body and machine in seamless motion through engaging personalization, advanced biomechanics and meticulous, purposeful design.

The new facility includes the full Symbio line up: Symbio Runner™, with its groundbreaking Adaptive Flex Deck®; Symbio SwitchCycle™ , which allows out-of-the-saddle riding; Symbio Incline Elliptical, which introduces a biomechanically advanced ellipse motion; and the Symbio Recumbent Cycle, built with optimal ergonomic comfort in mind. Additionally, the Hyatt complemented the Symbio cardio collection with new strength training equipment from the Life
Fitness Insignia Selectorized Series.

“Life Fitness has done a phenomenal job in staying up to date with what we’re looking for, but more importantly what our guests are looking for,” said Christopher Carter, Director of Guest Operations, Hyatt Regency Chicago.

The new facility has been very well received by guests, who note its sleek look and enhanced functionalities. By prioritizing guest well-being and staying true to their core values, Hyatt successfully created a state-of-the-art fitness facility that continues to attract and delight guests.
