Outfitting Koukoumi Hotel with a New Fitness Area

As the hotel’s management describes it:

“Koukoumi was created to be a peaceful sanctuary for the sophisticated traveller. In this setting, we bring a breath of fresh air in hospitality, showing a more intimate side of the island while promoting a new lifestyle philosophy. We can enjoy life without harming animals, the environment, or ourselves.”

While the hotel is vegan, it warmly welcomes all guests, whether they follow a plant-based diet or are simply curious to try a healthier way of living. The hotel's ethos extends beyond food, encouraging a lifestyle that nurtures both body and mind. In this holistic context, a well-equipped fitness area is crucial for guests looking to maintain their fitness alongside their dietary choices.

O’Live Solution: A Functional Fitness Area to Build a Natural Physique

In line with the hotel’s philosophy of health and well-being, Koukoumi wanted to provide its guests with more than just the traditional gym experience. Their fitness area would need to reflect the values of balance, functionality, and natural movement. Rather than focusing on heavy lifting or purely cardio-based training, the goal was to offer functional training, a fitness approach that strengthens muscles in a way that complements everyday movements and builds a natural, well-balanced physique.

Koukoumi hotel chose an O'Live Fitness solution to help their guests achieve this goal. By focusing on functional workouts, guests can harmonise their fitness routines with their healthy lifestyle, making their experience at Koukoumi both physically and mentally fulfilling.

O'Live Fitness: Creating the New Fitness Area at Koukoumi

To enhance its services, Koukoumi hotel partnered with Real-Motion, O'Live Fitness' Greek distributor, to design a new fitness area that reflects the hotel’s values of promoting a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. The objective was clear: create a fitness space that would not only be practical but also align with the hotel’s philosophy of well-being and balance.

After analysing the hotel’s needs, the O'Live Fitness team proposed a functional training area that includes:

• ONE + cage with Squat Add on
• Battle rope attachment
• Ring attachment for elastic tubes
• Plates storage attachment
• Functional materials
• Free weight materials
• Multiple rack storage system

This set-up provides a comprehensive workout environment that supports both strength training and functional movements, ensuring guests can engage in a balanced, full-body workout.

The Positive Impact of O’Live Fitness at Koukoumi

Despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic, Koukoumi Hotel successfully opened its doors on 15th July and operated until 15th October. The feedback from guests regarding the fitness area was overwhelmingly positive. The hotel's owner, Mrs. Kontiza, was thrilled with how much guests enjoyed using the gym. Many participated in personal training sessions, and almost all guests visited the gym at least once during their stay. Two guests, from Spain and the UK, even enquired about recreating a similar fitness area in their homes, highlighting how impressive and functional the space truly is.
