Sports in your own hotel room
Hotel guests are becoming increasingly demanding. And so hotels are looking for new ways to take their service and facilities to the next level. One of the trends that is gaining traction is the demand for fitness facilities in one's own hotel room. The idea of having your own personal gym appeals to many guests, especially when the alternative is an impersonal hotel gym. This is where WATERROWER | NOHRD comes in, a brand known for its combination of functionality and style in fitness equipment.
WATERROWER | NOHRD's success story began with the iconic rowing machine made of wood, conceived by US inventor John Duke in 1988. Duke wanted to create a rowing machine that not only mimicked the physical experience of rowing on water, but was also so aesthetically pleasing that people would want to put it in their living room. "The natural materials and beautiful design made the machine instantly popular," says Franklin van der Zijde, the brand's Dutch importer in Europe.
As demand grew for more products in the same style, additional fitness products such as wooden exercise bikes, dumbbells and wallbars were developed under the NOHRD brand name. These products are now brought together under one name: WATERROWER | NOHRD. "We have noticed a growing demand for fitness equipment that is not only functional, but also adds aesthetic value in domestic and business environments," said Van der Zijde.
One of the most distinctive features of WATERROWER | NOHRD's equipment is its aesthetic appeal. Made of high-quality materials such as wood and leather, the products exude luxury and sophistication. This makes them suitable not only for use in hotel gyms, but also for direct placement in hotel rooms themselves. "Our products add a unique look to any room," says Van der Zijde. "More and more hotels are discovering that our equipment adds value to their interiors, and we are seeing increasing interest from the hotel industry."
For many hotel guests, privacy is an important aspect of their stay. The idea of being able to exercise in their own hotel room without depending on shared fitness facilities captures their imagination. WATERROWER | NOHRD responds to this with their compact and stylish fitness solutions. One example is the NOHRD Wall, a multifunctional wall unit that can be easily integrated into any hotel room and offers a full workout in a limited space.
Van der Zijde notes that demand for such solutions is growing, especially in the higher hotel categories. "Hotel guests want comfort and convenience, and that includes the ability to exercise at their convenience, in the privacy of their own room. Our products make that possible, without compromising the stylish interior of the room."
Besides aesthetics and functionality, durability is an important aspect of WATERROWER | NOHRD products. The wooden elements are treated with special oils to protect and maintain them, making them ideal for long-term use in both private and business environments. Van der Zijde added: "We also offer maintenance contracts for our products, making them even more attractive for hotels that want to offer their guests the best without worrying about maintenance."
In a market where luxury and personalisation are increasingly important, WATERROWER | NOHRD offers a wonderful solution for hotels that want to offer their guests something extra. Combining elegance, functionality and durability, their products fit perfectly into the interiors of high-end hotel rooms, allowing guests to enjoy a personalised and stylish workout experience.
