2024 is certainly the summer of sport. It’s encouraging lots of us to get moving ourselves, taking inspiration from the athletes we see on the track, field or court.
We know health and wellbeing looks and feels different for everyone. So you certainly don’t need to take up football, tennis or athletics to start to take care of yourself. Looking after your needs lies in the ways you strengthen body and mind – and makes that part of your everyday when you spend time with us.
Learn golfing techniques and spend time outdoors
Think and play like a champion on our award-winning golf greens, which host international tournaments. Most recently, the Legends Tour™ – bringing amateur players together with Ryder Cup captains and Major tournament winners – chose Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club as one of its carefully-selected world class destinations.
Whether you’re brand-new to golf or a regular player, the mental skill of learning a new technique and focusing on playing a game challenges your brain and refocuses your thoughts onto something positive, and away from any stress you might be feeling. You can play both as an individual and part of a group, whichever suits your social levels or state of mind. Playing golf means you’re spending hours in the fresh air, walking miles outdoors between shots across our Hotel and Country Clubs.
Boost cardio and build strength
If kicking a ball on the pitch or court doesn’t appeal to you, join us in one of our fitness centres and you’ll find an activity that suits your style. That might be hitting a PB on the treadmill or bike. Or, it may be starting to lift those first weights that increase your bone density and protect your joints.
Fitness is such a broad term and we know fitness is about finding what’s right for you. Swimming lengths in the pool is a great exercise that’s gentle on your joints, and enhancing your strength in the weights area helps improve your tennis forehand grip. Or, maybe you’re just beginning with some gentle movement and starting to make the small, healthy gains for body and mind that improve your day-to-day life.
Rest your mind and soothe muscle aches
Recovery is a vital part of exercise, no matter your endurance levels or abilities. At your Marriott Bonvoy Spa, you’ll find everything from saunas and steam rooms which loosen stiff joints and boost your immune system to tailored treatments and massages helping speed up exercise recovery time and reduce muscle soreness.
Each Marriott Bonvoy Spa offers its own list of exclusive spa treatments using leading products. Our therapists are always happy to advise which treatment is best for you and your lifestyle, whether it’s a massage for the full body or one focused on your back, neck and shoulders. Not only does a treatment reenergise the muscles you need to train, it gives you a moment of peace to calm your mind – and recharge your limbs!
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a seasoned athlete training for a competition or event, starting out on your brand-new fitness journey, or simply recognising how important it is to take time for yourself, Marriott lifestyle is the place for you to do that – your way, every day.
