Business travellers will now be able to earn more than just endorphins after a workout when travelling, with leading fitness brand, Peloton, and Australia’s largest hotel operator, Accor, entering into a new partnership.

Following the successful launch of Peloton into select Accor hotels around 2022, the expanded agreement will see Peloton Bikes installed in more than 50 of Accor’s most popular hotels, resorts and apartments across Australia.

In addition, in the first-of-its-kind program in Australia and for a limited time, guests will be rewarded for working out with Peloton – with the ability to earn 100 ALL – Accor Live Limitless Reward points when they workout on the Peloton Bike or the Peloton App during their stay at one of the participating Accor hotels, including Mövenpick Hotel Melbourne on Spencer, Pullman Sydney Hyde Park, Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour, Novotel Perth Murray Street, and Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise.

To support the expanded launch, Peloton and Accor commissioned research with YouGov to uncover Australians’ attitudes to health and fitness while travelling for work or leisure. The findings revealed that maintaining their current fitness regime when travelling is important to Australian travellers, with two in three Aussies (66%) surveyed saying that maintaining their health and exercise regime when on holidays was important to them, with Millennials more likely than Gen Z and Gen X saying sticking to their regime is extremely important (37%, compared to and 21% and 24% respectively).

When it comes to business travel specifically, among the 50% of Aussies who travel within Australia for work, 76% – the equivalent of 7.5 million people – said that maintaining their health and exercise regime when travelling was important to them. In relation to what Australians are looking for when staying at a hotel for work or leisure, the majority (68%) would prefer to exercise using hotel facilities when they are in a new destination, with many stating that the opportunity to try new fitness experiences would enhance their stay.

To earn reward points while working out, guests simply need to show their workout in the Peloton App at the hotel front desk or in the gym, scan the QR code provided and register for the offer prior to check-out to redeem. The points can be redeemed for their next holiday or to unlock tickets to some of the most popular concerts, shows and sporting events around the world.

Whether it’s mirroring a strength workout from the Peloton App to your in-room TV, enjoying a cycling class in the hotel gym on the Peloton Bike, or taking an outdoor walk or run around a new location via the Peloton App, there’s something for every Accor guest to enjoy. Peloton’s 57 instructors lead live and on-demand classes across 16 different fitness modalities – from yoga and stretching to walking, running, cycling and more, so no matter your preference or fitness level, Peloton will keep you motivated and keep you moving.
