The allure of new food and activities often make it difficult for travel and fitness to come together. However, in a new partnership with Jawbone, the Epiphany Hotel in Palo Alto is making it easy for guests to indulge in a stay that will easily allow for the upkeep of a healthy lifestyle.
The partnership comes in the form of a package that tracks fitness activity using the Jawbone band. If a guest does not have their own Jawbone for use, they are able to purchase one at the front desk. The hotel then challenges guests to 'Mission Fitness' with a map of the city showing how many steps it takes to get to different landmarks. The more a guest gets active, the more they are treated to incentives and activities that suit their individual fitness level.
After a long day of being active, the Epiphany Hotel also offers access to the gym, sleep aid kits and healthy food to help with recovery.
