Free In-Room Fitness Program Offers Three Options For Guests.

Now health-conscious travelers can stretch, flex and burn calories in the privacy of their hotel rooms with Marriott's new "Great Health - Fit for You" program, which offers complimentary use in-room fitness options that will provide guests with cutting edge exercise choices. Workout offerings including the BodyRev(TM), BodyWedge21(TM) and Michael Sena's Traveling Trainer will be delivered to guestrooms upon request at full-service Marriott and Renaissance hotels in North America beginning in late January 2005.

Marriott is offering three different exercise equipment options including the BodyRev, originally created by former Navy SEAL and professional trainer Alden Mills, a portable exercise device and video routine that uses the body's natural free-flowing movements to deliver a full-body aerobic and strength- training workout in just 15 minutes. It turns a few simple moves into an efficient calorie-burning, muscle-toning, energy-boosting routine. Additionally, Michael Sena, one of America's most respected personal trainer and fitness experts, has partnered with Marriott to offer his versatile, personalized Traveling Trainer kit. The kit, which improves strength, balance and energy, includes fitness-club quality resistance tubes and an easy-to- follow instructional guide.

The third option in Marriott's "Great Health - Fit for You" program is the BodyWedge21(TM), which provides a full-body workout using an incline to target abs, buttocks, thighs, triceps, chest and lower back. Twenty-one different exercises are printed on the large foam wedge.

"Marriott is dedicated to providing our health-conscious travelers with options that meet their own individual needs," says Bob McCarthy, executive vice president, North American lodging. "The 'Great Health - Fit for You' fitness component was created based on feedback from our guests who said they wanted more fitness options."

The "Fit for You" culinary program, which was created in December 2003 with a breakfast offering, recently added additional features including lunch and dinner restaurant menus, concierge-level selections, room service and catering menus and retail store offerings in three categories -- carb- conscious, low fat and low cholesterol. It also includes low-fat options on the kids' menus. It is available at Marriott Hotels & Resorts locations in North America.

The "Great Health - Fit For You" Program is a component of The New Look and Feel of Marriott Now, a fresh approach influenced by the world's foremost innovations in design, technology, culinary expertise, service and comfort. Guests will begin to experience this evolution across Marriott brands this year, in new hotel designs, exotic destinations, enhanced fitness centers, sumptuous spas and expanded culinary offerings, as well as new luxury bedding.
