Paragon Studio is taking hotel fitness out of the basement and directly into the guestroom with the launch of In-Suite, a comprehensive range of exercise equipment tailored specifically for private suite workouts.
Making its global debut at HIX Europe 2026 at Stand C30, the new collection arrives at a time when the global wellness economy has reached a record-breaking $6.8 trillion, according to data from the Global Wellness Institute. Within that booming sector, wellness tourism alone is currently valued at an impressive $894 billion, prompting hospitality operators to look for innovative ways to integrate health and fitness offerings seamlessly into their existing properties.
Targeting luxury hotels that are actively investing in conscious wellness, the In-Suite concept is built upon three interconnected elements: the physical equipment, the digital content, and the supporting operational service. Each component is designed to work in harmony, ensuring that the room adapts to the individual habits of the guest rather than forcing the guest to adapt to a traditional, centralized facility. For hotel operators, this provides a compelling wellness proposition that exists entirely within the guest accommodation, eliminating the need to allocate precious square footage elsewhere on the property for a traditional basement gym.
Extensive research conducted for the development of In-Suite was tailored specifically with the modern traveler in mind—particularly individuals who prefer to avoid communal hotel gyms while still maintaining their daily exercise, movement, and wellness routines. According to user profile insights, this demographic is significantly more inclined to enjoy practicing mindful movement disciplines, such as yoga, Pilates, and light mobility work, in the privacy and comfort of their own private quarters.
The collection itself comprises three distinct categories: movement, recovery, and strength kits. These items are thoughtfully housed in precision-cut foam inserts designed to fit seamlessly into a room’s existing drawers, presented inside an elegant wooden tray, or delivered directly to the room upon order. To bridge the physical equipment with guided instruction, each kit features a laser-etched QR plaque that instantly links guests to a comprehensive video library of strength, Pilates, and recovery sessions. Crucially, this digital content can be fully customized, allowing properties to brand, subtitle, and even film the videos on-site inside the hotel’s own rooms.
From an operational perspective, the system is designed for maximum efficiency. Because the foam inserts utilize joinery already present in standard hotel furniture, they can be easily retrofitted into rooms that are currently open and actively trading. Furthermore, every individual piece of equipment has its own dedicated cut-out within the insert, enabling housekeeping staff to instantly verify whether any items are missing during routine room servicing.
Paragon Studio is launching the collection with three core options: the Movement Kit, the Recovery Kit, and the Lite Kit. The Movement Kit includes essential workout tools such as hand-weights, a kettlebell, resistance bands, and a cork yoga mat and block, all neatly organized within the bespoke insert. Meanwhile, the Recovery Kit is tailored for post-travel relaxation and physical restoration, including a massage gun, a massage ball, a red LED light therapy panel, and a foam roller. Additionally, a Lite Kit provides a pared-back selection of equipment alongside a select content library, offering an ideal solution for hotel operators seeking to implement a comprehensive wellness offering across all room categories rather than just top-tier suites.
At HIX Europe, the collection is being showcased in two distinct formats: as a standalone tray and integrated into a custom bed created in partnership with Naturalmat, featuring a drawer built directly into the base. These displays demonstrate the remarkable versatility and tailorable nature of the In-Suite range. Inserts can be custom-cut to fit furniture already present in a room or engineered into entirely new furniture pieces from the outset according to any specific architectural or design requirements a project demands.
Throughout the duration of the two-day exhibition, Paragon Studio’s exhibition stand is also doubling as a recording studio, hosting live industry podcasts featuring conversations with designers, hotel operators, and developers discussing the evolving role of wellness at the individual room level.
Reflecting on the launch, Edward Thomas, founder of Paragon Studio, explained the philosophy behind the new product line. "Most people have a wellness routine at home, but that often disappears the moment they check into a hotel," Thomas noted. "With In-Suite, we’re bringing movement and recovery directly into the hotel room, giving guests a more private, flexible, and convenient way to look after their wellbeing while travelling. HIX Europe is the ideal place to unveil the collection for the first time and show how thoughtful design can make wellness a natural part of the guest experience."
Early usage data from luxury hotels where In-Suite is already being specified reveals interesting trends regarding guest behavior. Demand has proven strongest among women aged over 40, with yoga, Pilates, and mobility training emerging as the most popular workout choices. Furthermore, usage data indicates that guest activity peaks in the mornings between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM, with more than half of participating guests completing multiple workouts within a single session.
Beyond the new In-Suite collection, Paragon Studio has established a strong reputation for designing and manufacturing premium gym equipment and delivering bespoke fitness spaces for high-end hospitality clients and luxury superyachts. The brand’s discerning clientele expects fitness facilities to meet the exact same elevated design standards found throughout the rest of their interior spaces. Consequently, every project undertaken by the studio begins with a careful analysis of the physical space itself, combining sophisticated architectural planning with purpose-built equipment engineered specifically for long-term commercial use.
Designed in London and manufactured in a small artisan workshop located in the United Kingdom, Paragon Studio’s bespoke range is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, utilizing materials and finishes chosen explicitly for their longevity and aesthetic appeal. The brand’s broader product range is currently on display at its Battersea showroom, as well as within Vuori retail stores on Regent Street, King’s Road, and at Harrods.
