Now through March, business travelers can look forward to rejuvenating morning wellness offerings from Tuesday through Thursday. Tuesdays begins with an invigorating guided run along Vancouver’s iconic seawall, offering fresh air and scenic harbor views to energize the day ahead. Wednesdays invite a slower start with Yoga, Stretching & Sound Meditation — a serene session blending mindful movement and calming soundscapes to restore balance. The week culminates on Thursday with a second guided run, perfect for guests looking to stay active and connect with Vancouver’s beautiful waterfront surroundings.

Following the success of Soothe & Savour, Candlelit Soundscapes & Supper will offer attendees an opportunity to reconnect with their sense of self through an immersive evening of calming sound meditation paired with nourishing coastal-inspired cuisine. Attendees can expect a restorative sound bath meditation by candlelight, followed by the opportunity to enjoy ARC Restaurant’s signature Province to Plate menu.

For those seeking a refreshing reset, Fairmont Waterfront is offering an invigorating Polar Plunge experience, re-launching this November and continuing into the new year. Led by the hotel’s very own CEO (Chill Experience Officer) Jodi Francks, participants will take a guided cold dip at Third Beach in Stanley Park before returning to the hotel for hot tea, warm towels, and a celebratory hot toddy, finished with the comforting dishes of ARC’s well-renowned bottomless brunch.

Beyond the twice weekly runs, year-round wellness offerings for ALL members will continue to include the opportunity to borrow complimentary fitness wear – including shoes – through the Fairmont Fit program, and use of the rooftop pool, open daily and heated throughout the year. Complimentary cruiser bikes continue to be available free of charge for ALL members, offering an easy and eco-friendly way to discover Stanley Park and the surrounding waterfront.

“Being steps from the ocean and Stanley Park inspires us to design experiences that reflect the calm, vitality, and natural beauty of Vancouver’s coast,” said Randall Williams, General Manager of Fairmont Waterfront. “This new chapter in wellness is our way of inviting guests and locals to embrace the season by the water, and to leave feeling restored by the very environment that surrounds us.”

With wellness woven into every detail, Fairmont Waterfront is establishing itself as a sanctuary for wellness-minded travelers year-round.

• greater circulation, which is incredibly important for heart health, and an issue for airplane travel
• easier to maneuver on the plane (have you ever had to put your carry-on in the overhead bin wearing a skirt and heels?)you’ll be ready to go for a workout precisely once you land, even if you’re too early for check-in, you can gain access to the gym facilities and don’t need to change
  comfort wins
  Now, you can be comfortable and stylish! On a recent trip to Chicago to speak at a business travel conference on Personal Well-being and frequent travel resilience, I went prepared. Damn right, I walked my walk. The first place I went once I landed? The yoga room in Chicago O’Hare Airport, and then to the gym for some weights and cardio at the hotel. In order to do so, I’ve got to dress Fit to Fly!
  I’ve partnered with adidas to share 5 of my top picks for travel atheisure that will take you from your flight to your fitness center, excuse-free. Here’s what I’m packing:

1. WEAR YOUR SNEAKERS, PACK YOUR WORK SHOES

The Deets:
You’ll want a breathable run or cross-training sneaker that is sleek and stylish. Steer away from the bright, obnoxious colors and opt for mono-tones or neutrals for the business readers in the crowd. You’ll want a sneaker with good foot bedding to use for both working out and comfort in the airport and flight that has the ability to tie or slip on and off fairly easily.
On that note, pack and extra pair of socks to have for after your workout. Or, just in case you sweat in flight, it’s always good to have an extra set on hand (ahem, foot).

2. PACK A SPILL-PROOF WATER BOTTLE

The Deets:
For each hour you’re in flight, you loose 8 ounces of water. Bringing a water bottle with you, you’ll want this for both on the plane and in the gym. Many airports have refillable water bottle stations throughout the terminals these days, so you don’t need to go the plastic bottle route. When you get to the gym, double up on the hydro servings — your body’s already dehydrated from the plane, and sweating can do the same, if you’re not replacing fluids first.

3. LAYERS, LAYERS, AND MORE LAYERS

The Deets:
There’s a quote: “Life is like an onion: you peel off one layer at a time.” Well, when you travel, dress like an onion and prepare for whatever climate and life can throw at you.
As mentioned above, temperatures can fluctuate on a plane, and also from one’s departure origin to another’s arrival destination. Wearing layers can give you options, and it’s saves space in your carry-on. I’m a huge zip-up hoodie fan, because you cover your head and eyes to protect from any germs in flight, or when you want to sleep. With a zipper, you can easily slip it on and off as you need with the varying degrees without having to pull something awkwardly over your head, possibly knocking your neighbor in the shoulder during the process.
When you think of hoodies, get the notion that your college varsity sweatshirt is what we have in mind. Think style.

4. BRING A TOWEL THAT DOUBLES AS A BLANKET

The Deets:
Air temperatures on planes can shift varying degrees, depending on the plane, location and cabin crew. Typically, they veer on the cold to freezing side of the spectrum, and there’s never a guarantee (even on overnight flights) that you’ll be reserved a blanket to keep covered. Best to bring your own, and one that can double as a workout towel after.

5. PACK IT ALL IN A BACKPACK

The Deets:
Personally, I’m a huge backpack fan for travel, for a few reasons. They typically have great storage with multiple pockets to easily organize your work, fitness, and healthy snack (you’re bringing healthy snacks, right, warriors!?) all in one place. Plus, the dual straps of a backpack are far healthier for your spine to carry than a single sling bag over one shoulder.
Last but not least, plan ahead by scoping out where you’re going to workout by searching airport gyms, nearby airport hotel gyms you can get access to, or if the hotel you’re staying at has a gym you can use. Or, have a workout ready to go that you can do that doesn’t require any equipment, such as Yoga For Travel or 10 Min Traveler Fitness Workout.
