Wellbeing Onboard: How Superyacht Fitness Transforms Crew Health and Performance
In the luxurious world of superyachts, where every detail is crafted for grandeur and comfort, one company stands out for its dedication to the wellbeing of those who make the journey possible: the crew. Superyacht Fitness, co-founded by Glen Taylor and Tim Colston, goes beyond exquisite gym designs and developing wellness spaces. They create holistic environments that encourage physical and mental health, ensuring the sustainable and effective operation of the yacht. They champion the fact that on board every superyacht the health and wellness of crew is as crucial as the luxury experience enjoyed by guests. Dedicated to creating a comprehensive wellness ecosystem onboard, their approach addresses both physical fitness and mental resilience, crucial for the challenges of life at sea. By integrating cutting-edge equipment and building a strong sense of community, they are turning yachts into successful hubs of health and vitality.

From consultative approaches to 3D visualisations, they ensure every detail is optimised for functionality and luxury. Their flagship initiative, the Superyacht Fitness Academy, provides training and education programmes focused on personal development. Their Maritime Growth Programme incorporates an array of options, ranging from sports therapy and nutrition to mental wellbeing and strength conditioning, empowering crew members with the skills and knowledge for professional and personal growth.

The Power of Human Connection
Central to Superyacht Fitness’s philosophy is the emphasis on human connection. Their innovative Superyacht Fitness App goes beyond traditional wellness apps by offering a multi-faceted experience. Crew members have access to expert content, workouts, recipes, videos and podcasts. The app also provides unlimited one-on-one calls with professional experts, offering personalised guidance on a range of subjects tailored to crew needs. This feature supports and inspires crew members, contributing to a positive onboard culture and overall health.
A Thriving Community
Recognising the importance of community in promoting a healthy onboard environment, their use of Myzone smart devices helps create a tight-knit community by tracking activity, rewarding individual efforts and promoting collective experiences. Live and recorded classes, friendly competitions and monthly challenges build camaraderie and a shared commitment to health and wellness. Furthermore Superyacht Fitness have established Chief Energy Officers (CEO’s) who work personally with crew to integrate the App and MyZone, whilst building a positive community.
The Superyacht Fitness Pledge
At the heart of Superyacht Fitness’s mission is their pledge to enhance the wellbeing of 5,000 crew members by 2026. This ambitious goal highlights Glen and Tim’s undertaking to lead the industry in promoting wellness. By providing crew, business owners and captains with the tools to make a positive difference, Superyacht Fitness aims to drive much-needed change within the superyacht community. Revolutionising the way wellness is perceived and implemented on superyachts by offering tailored, all-inclusive welfare solutions, Superyacht Fitness ensures that physical and emotional health of crew is prioritised. Their passion and commitment to making a difference are evident in every element of their work, starting with bespoke gym designs, through to establishing innovative wellness programmes.
