BIRMINGHAM, Mich. - Travelers often have difficulty getting a good workout away from home. Tight schedules and long hours make it hard to find time for exercise. The Townsend Hotel has made this challenge simple by providing guests all they need to get a fast, effective workout while on the road.

The Townsend offers an on-site, state-of-the-art, workout facility that is open 24 hours a day. Guests can take advantage of the tranquil 1,100 square foot fitness facility that features Precor and Tectrix treadmills, recumbent bikes, Stair Masters, elliptical cross trainers and Cybex weight machines. In addition, fresh hand picked fruit, Voss bottled water and plush white towels are plentiful, and sleek plasma flat screen TVs keep fitness buffs entertained and informed while working out.

"The Townsend takes pride in supplying the best amenities for our patrons," said Peter Wilde, managing director of the Townsend. "Our workout facilities are designed to provide our guests with a variety of exercise options in a comfortable environment."

For those seeking a more tailored workout, The Townsend Hotel offers Fitness a La Carte, which includes a fresh whole fruit plate, two bottles of Voss water and a one-hour workout session with a certified personal trainer. Each personalized training session is designed to enhance an individual's workout.

Training sessions can take place at the on-site workout facility or at Snap Fitness, located within walking distance of The Townsend Hotel and accessible 24 hours a day. The athletic club offers a full assortment of activities, including spinning, Tae-Bo, hi-lo aerobics, treadmills, free weights and circuit machines. Day passes are available to guests staying at the hotel and can be arranged with the concierge.

For guests seeking alternative forms of exercise, The Townsend's concierge staff can arrange workout sessions at Townsend Street Pilates, conveniently located near the hotel. Classes are designed to accommodate any fitness level and certified Pilates instructors are on-hand to lead guests through their exercises.

Once the workout is complete, guests can relax their muscles with a massage, facial or body wrap at Margot's European Day Spa across the street from the hotel. For those patrons seeking more private pampering, in-room spa services including massages, facials, manicures and pedicures can also be arranged though the accommodating concierge staff.

Since The Townsend opened in 1988, it has received numerous awards and accolades including Mobil Four Star and AAA Four Diamond designations as well as a perennial position on Conde Nast's "Top 100 Gold List," and Travel + Leisure's "World's Best Hotels."
