The Spa at JW Chicago, located inside JW Marriott Chicago, announced the launch of the hotel’s first-ever wellness program, specifically tailored for meetings and events.
Meeting attendees can now go right from their seats, even in a general session, into a workout while experiencing meetings enhancements, such as meditation and posture exercises.
Groups can also partake in private wellness classes that include a scenic run/walk in downtown Chicago or an educational healthy eating class.
The program, which focuses on JW Marriott’s theme of balance, includes three breakout “meeting enhancements” for groups of up to 200 and three longer-format fitness classes.
“At JW Marriott Chicago, we pride ourselves in always creating new and innovative offerings for our meeting planners and guests,” said Director of Sales & Marketing Steve Conklin.
“Well-being is one of the JW Marriott brand’s three core passion points and with ‘Fit Meetings’, we’re able to further explore JW Marriott Chicago’s dedication in bringing a complete wellness experience to our meetings guests,” he added.
Spa at JW Chicago’s “Fit Meetings” offerings include:
Meeting Enhancements for Well-Being:
- MEDITATION. Prepare the body and mind with intention, greater focus, creativity and better relationships with a brief guided meditation session.
