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

@Elisa I provide a yoga mat, small dumb bells (2-3#) and ankle weights as well as a yoga block!

Hi @Jennifer4572 , 

Thank you for sharing this, it's amazing that you promote sports! 😊

Do your guests do yoga outdoors or inside your property?

Warm regards 🌻

We do not as we're located in the mountains.  Hiking mountain trails is exercise enough, in my humble opinion.  Hiking also gives people a chance to get away from their regular exercise schedule without feeling guilty.

Hi @Karen4353 

Thank you for jumping into the conversation! 😊

Definitely, if you're close to the mountains, hiking is an amazing sport. 😁

Do you provide hiking equipment for your guests?

Warm regards🌻, 

[Karen4353]

We do not.  If guests are coming to the mountains to hike, they will most always have their own gear.

Hi, we actually have a full gym at our home, however i chose to instead just opt for some free weights laid out at the verendah area and a punching bag thats hanging in an open air space. Wanted to keep it simple since most will be on vacation and so on.

Always found that a little distraction from your workout with the view and surroundings normally helps time pass faster while burning those cals.

Hi @John1178 😊

Thank you for sharing this!

I agree with you, I love having a nice view no matter what I'm doing in life, especially during sports. 😁

Does every guest participate in sport at your place?

Have you experienced any damage recently?

Warm regards, 🌻

Hi I don’t provide gym equipment no space available. Here is a Virgian Active in my area.

Hi @Juliana869 😊

Thank you for your reply!

I understand that it can be difficult to provide gym equipment if there isn't enough space.

It's great that there is a Virgin Active in your area. 😍

Do you have any special offers for your guests?

[Karyn-Rose0]

I don’t yet, but I have a kayak, and I may buy a few bikes because I am in a riverfront area with a lot of outdoor activities. The layout of my cottage precludes me from having room for gym equipment, other than a yoga mat. I do have an arrangement with a local gym  for a discount to guests who want to use a gym.

Hi @Karyn-Rose0 😊

I understand the situation, it’s hard to provide more for guests if you have limited space.

I think it’s amazing that you have a discount at the gym, though.

Do your guests take advantage of this opportunity? 😍

[Karyn-Rose0]

Not yet, but I feel it’s good to have it available in the eventuality someone wants to use it.

 I am also trying to offer a discount on Horseback riding lessons at the barn where I keep my horse,, and discounted trips out on local watermens’ boats next year.

Hi @Jeffrey769 😊

Are you thinking of proposing a different sport activity to your guests?

Some of the hosts here are sharing incredible suggestions.

You should take a look! 👀
