Sandpiper Hospitality Hires Two New Executives

Reno, Nevada

Reno, Nevada (April 20, 2023) – The Courtyard by Marriott Reno is thrilled to announce that it has completed a comprehensive transformation of its former fitness areas. Owned & managed by Virginia’s Sandpiper Hospitality, the iconic hotel is now home to a $250,000 leading-edge, 1,400 square foot UpLift Fitness Hub.  

UpLift features a wide assortment of strength-training and cardio equipment, plenty of stretching space, two Peloton bikes, a variety of treadmills, free weights, and a wide arrange of additional equipment from Technogym. Other progressive equipment includes a TRX suspension machine and the Technogym Skill Mill, which uses your bodyweight as opposed to any mechanical assistance.  

“We heard loud and clear from our guests that they desired to maintain their healthy lifestyles while traveling on the road.  This was the catalyst for the commitment to a total transformation of our recreational space,” said General Manager Pauline Brion. “UpLift is a game changer for us and our guests. It provides them with an incredible lifestyle experience that they cannot find at any other hotel in Reno and in very few hotels across the country.”

“Technogym has earned a reputation in the world of sport for the exceptional quality, innovative technology and performance of its equipment,” said Sean Cronan, business development for Technogym. “Over the years, many of the world’s leading teams and athletes have chosen Technogym equipment to improve their performance, undertake injury prevention and for rehabilitation purposes.  We are excited for the Courtyard’s guests to bring out their athletic selves at UpLift.”

Courtyard by Marriott Reno is pleased to invite hotel guests, local business partners and the community to attend an Opening Reception for the UpLift Fitness Hub on Thursday, May 4th from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. No RSVP is required.
