Do you provide gym equipment in your listing?

[Elisa]

Hi everyone,

As people are turning towards a healthy lifestyle, it might be interesting to include gym or yoga equipments to the listing. I'm curious to know if the hosts in our community provide any fitness gear for guests? 

Do you go with simple equipments such as dumbbells 🏋🏻, yoga mats 🧘🏻‍♀️ or treadmills 🏃? 

How do your guests react to having such fitness amenities?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Regards,
Elisa

Hello, Elisa!

We provide a yoga/workout mat in on our Biggest Little House but we're planning to add more equipment in our new upcoming airbnb. Thank you for reaching out!

Hi @Sia-And-Ray0 😊

This is very exciting; congratulations on your next Airbnb property! 😍

What kind of equipment are you planning to add?

Warm regards, 🌻

[Sia-And-Ray0]

Thank you so much, it is exciting! 

We would like to add yoga blocks, jump rope, resistance workout bands and maybe some small weights 😉

Hi @Yvonne1012 😊

Thank you for participating!

Why don't you provide any workout equipment? Are you planning to add this for your guests in the future?

Warm regards, 🌻

We provide bikes, surf boards, yoga mats, dumbbells, skipping ropes. We have it listed as an amenity but it’s not something we advertise much, and guests don’t tend to use them as much as I would have expected.

Hi @Vanessa2459 😊,

You offer fantastic amenities!😍

However, it’s interesting that guests don’t use them as much as expected.

Have you considered ways to promote these activities to encourage more of your guests?

Warm regards, 🌻

[Vanessa2459]

I have but perhaps you may have ideas on how to promote these activities more effectively? 

[Elisa]

Hi @Vanessa2459 😊, 

I understand the situation! 

In this case, I think it’s best to ask for recommendations from other Hosts by starting a new conversation here. I am sure they will be happy to help you.

Warm regards 🌻,

We do not provide exercise equipment in our short term vacation property. There is a lake to paddle or swim in and trails to walk or run on if a guest fees the need to exercise. The liability increase and minimal if any benefit to the bottom line makes it a none starter.

Hi @Violet321 😊

Thank you for participating!

I totally understand your point.

I am curious, have you noticed if guests take advantage of the lake and trails during their stay?

Warm regards, 🌻

Hi Elisa,

We have a small cottage so no gym equipment, but I do provide electric bikes and kayaks on premises with safety gear for guests to use at no extra charge. Guest need to sign a waiver prior to use.

[Elisa]

Hi @Stevo-Farm0 😊,

That sounds like a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors! 😍

What did you include in the waiver? How did you come up with this idea?

Warm regards, 🌻

No I  do not not provide gym equipment. I believe it may be a liability if someone is injured.

Hi @Valerie1486 😊,

Thank you for sharing this here!

I totally understand your point. Have you ever heard of an accident from other Hosts in this kind of situation, or do you prefer just to prevent any risks?

Warm regards, 🌻
