Messing around in the water

The hotel has teamed up with ABSMEDiQ Wellness Centre, led by Somboon Roongphornchai, in creating wellness programme that stress preventive health care for hotel guests and Bangkok residents.
Aqua bike enables anyone to work out in the water regardless of their fitness level. The cooling effect of water reduces the discomfort of sweating whilst reducing pressure on the heart, and the buoyancy of the water gives support around the joints. Each session is structured by different workouts such as acceleration, stretching exercises as well as exercises on and off the bike. It’s an excellent way to get fit, lose weight and eliminate cellulite.
Aqua Latin dance is similar to water aerobics done in shallow water at chest depth. With its inclusion of upbeat, Latin-inspired music, benefits of this class include flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, balance and a cardio-respiratory workout. It will improve strength and cardiovascular endurance without the impact on the joints
“We would like to bring a fun workout to our hotel guests and the residents of Bangkok, and we are starting off with these two aqua exercises as they are fun and suitable for all fitness levels. We have been working closely with our partner, Dr Somboon and his team, who also provide us with know-how on anti-ageing sport medicine and exercises as well as advice on the healthy dishes served at Eat Well Cafe,” said the hotel’s president Danai Wansom.
The hotel positions itself as a lifestyle wellness hotel and has been offering wellness activities to guests including free daily exercise classes in Muay Thai Cardio, Sexy Abs, Body Weight and much more. Fitness enthusiasts travellers can stay in staying in either an executive room or an executive suite, all equipped with exercise bike and yoga and pilates equipment.
