Switzerland: Mark Arnall, personal trainer and sports therapist of F1 champion Kimi Räikkönen, has partnered with Hotel Zermama in Zermatt to offer fitness programs to guests.
Arnall has 25 years experience working in F1, creating programs for drivers to stay fit and healthy whilst travelling. His programs focus on exercise, nutrition, recovery, jet lag management, injury prevention and more.
The Mark Arnall TRAVEL FIT program is now being offered to guests at Hotel Zermama – the first hotel to partner with Arnall. It includes:
• Exercise and recovery equipment in all guest rooms
• In-room workout and recovery programs designed and instructed by Mark Arnall on guest room TVs
• Performance enhancing food options, such as: F1 power bowl for breakfast, F1 signature super foods for lunch / dinner, and pit-stop re-refuel snack for Après-Ski
• Recovery and immune enhancing drinks created for and used by drivers such as Kimi Räikkönen
Arnall said: “Zermatt is a destination that offers an active lifestyle and therefore the main focus is on recovery. Being an avid skier myself, I know how important recovery is to being able to enjoy the holidays to the max, both in terms of helping the ski legs last all week and recovering from the amazing Après-Ski.
“With in-room recovery programs, foam rollers and massage balls in every room, rehydration / recovery solutions and nutritional support, we have the guests covered. I am excited to partner with the owners, Sandrine and Mario Julen, as they share the vision that health is wealth and are passionate about bringing the best health and fitness solutions to their guests.”
He added: “I’m really excited to bring these elite F1 fitness methods to a wider audience. I have lived and breathed this for the past 25 years so I know how hard it can be to stay fit and healthy on the road, but I also know that it’s possible and it doesn’t have to be complicated. What makes this concept unique is that it’s a joint venture combining my knowledge with that of my partner, Tea Ros (of Strategic Hotel Consulting), who has over 20 years of experience in the hotel world and understands how to put it all into practice.”
Sandrine Julen said: “We are very excited to work together with Mark Arnall and be the first hotel in the world to feature his fitness concept. We at Hotel Zermama are passionate about the health and wellbeing of our guests and partnering with Mark brings true added value to our guests. Zermatt is a world-class destination with a focus on active lifestyle and we are glad to further add to the profile of the destination and push the bar in terms of new hospitality concepts.”
Hotel Zermama is a lifestyle mountain hotel offering 29 brand new rooms including two suites with private whirlpool. The property features an all-day-restaurant Zermama Bistro along with a terrace hosting live music.
