HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.,
Nov. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Marriott Vacation Club hosted a launch event to unveil the
brand's latest resort experience offering, clubTHRIVESM
by Marriott Vacation Club, yesterday at Marriott's Grande Ocean resort. The innovative program is
designed as a way to help break the stress of daily life that many
owners and guests carry with them on vacation and provide
opportunities to benefit both their physical and mental well-being
throughout their vacation.
The launch event provided opportunities for resort guests and
associates from Marriott's Grande
Ocean and other Marriott Vacation Club resorts on the island
to participate in experiences that focused on the four key elements
of the program – refuel, renew, move and explore. The day included
healthy food samplings that can be made in a villa kitchen,
instructor-led classes from aqua fit in the resort pool, fresh air
fitness and stretching and relaxation classes, culminating in a
clubTHRIVESM 5K event along the beach between Marriott's
Grande Ocean and Marriott's Monarch
at Sea Pines resorts. Afterwards owners, guests and associates
enjoyed a fantastic closing celebration at the resort's famous Pool
Bar Jim's location.
"For more than thirty years Marriott Vacation Club has been a
brand leader and innovator and clubTHRIVE offers our owners and
guests a convenient, customized, health focused and fun way to
unwind and enjoy their time at our resorts even more," said
Cliff Delorey, executive vice
president and chief resort experience officer, Marriott Vacations
Worldwide. "I'm very proud of our associates who are the heartbeat
of our resorts and make programs like clubTHRIVE possible. The
clubTHRIVE launch on Hilton Head
Island is the first of many to come as we roll out this
brand new experience at more resorts over the next several
months."
What makes clubTHRIVESM unique is that it is
completely customizable to the wants and needs of owners and guests
and blends self-directed experiences with instructor lead classes
based on the four elements:
- Refuel: Providing well balanced food and beverage
choices and education on nutritional values.
- Renew: Helping Owners and guests achieve a "vacation
mindset" through physical and sensory experiences.
- Move: Offering cardio, strength and toning programs
designed to be fun and as an alternative to a typical gym
workout.
- Explore: Providing opportunities to experience the
resorts' locale in ways that are healthy, educational and fun.
Later this fall, clubTHRIVESM will debut at Marriott
Vacation Club resorts in Hawaii,
Palm Desert, Calif., and
South Florida with continued
roll-out worldwide into 2015.
