Post Pandemic Relaxation and Healthy Living with Spas and Fitness Centers

 

Everyone enjoys a nice break and some relaxation as they endure the stress of their daily lives.  This is especially relevant now as many people all over the world have been affected by travel restrictions and have been isolated in their homes.   When guests stay at a property, they often want to escape reality and just enjoy the moment especially if they are on vacation.  Guests can overcome stress by relaxing at a spa, working out at the gym, or taking a yoga class.  When trying to manage an entire property, having a spa as a feature can seem like an entire business of its own.  Fitness centers and salons can also add on more responsibilities.  You want to make sure you have the necessary services targeting your most common guests, the right equipment, and enough well-trained staff to keep it running smoothly. This blog will highlight some of the most common services that spas offer, a growing healthy living trend, sanitation steps for your spa and fitness center, and how the right products can help your property be successful.

Massage: Swedish, Hot Stone, Deep Tissue.

Body Treatments: Exfoliation treatments and facials.

Healthy Lifestyle

People are looking for ways to continue their healthy living practices while traveling.  Rest, relaxation, exercise, healthy eating, and clean-living practices help release stress from our daily lives.  Organic foods can be offered on the menu.  Organic linens, such as towels and bedding, can be placed in the rooms for the guests.  Organic linens can help compliment other sanitation measures such as adding hand sanitizer to help guests feel more healthy.  To help with this, InnStyle has developed a “green” bedding section to showcase all of their organic products that they have to offer to help promote sustainability.  If you would like to learn more about the “green bedding” products, please contact InnStyle with any questions.

Sanitation Steps for Your Spa and Fitness Center

The stress and anxiety that COVID-19 has placed on people will not be going away any time soon.  People will be concerned about health and sanitation, so it is important that your property takes the necessary steps to make sure your guests feel safe and healthy when using the spa and fitness center.  Some ideas can include:

• Schedule appointments at the fitness center for one person at a time.
• Allow an appropriate amount of time between each appointment to clean the equipment used by each guest.

  

• Wash all bedding including blankets and sheets between massages, facials, etc.
• Use antimicrobial towels.
• Have hand sanitizer and wipes easily accessible in fitness centers and spas for employees and guests.
• Wash down yoga mats after each use.
• Place plexiglass shields at the check-in desk or counter to add an extra layer of protection for guests and employees.
• Have employees providing spa treatments wear masks and gloves to make guests feel more comfortable.
• Periodically sanitize objects that employees frequently touch like computers, hair dryers, combs, and scissors.
• Offer lounge chair covers at the pool that can be changed between guests.
• Announce the necessary sanitation steps you are taking for safety on your property’s website and social media accounts.
