Spa-Enthusiasts, like Hannelore Leavy, want to know more about the Biggest Loser Spas!
By Susie Ellis

I saw Hannelore Leavy who heads up several spa associations (including the Day Spa Association), at our Spa Experience event at Grand Central Terminal in New York last week. The first thing she said to me was “Your Biggest Loser Competition between Spas is a Marvelous Idea!” I had to laugh because whenever I write something in my blog or in the Club Spa newsletter that goes to our database, I never know ahead of time what peoples' reactions will be. However, I believe this one has struck a chord! As promised, I am adding this piece to my blog so she can respond and add her comments. So, Hannelore, here it is!

From the Club Spa Newsletter distributed on Tuesday, October 30th:

On the hit TV series the Biggest Loser, people lose 50, 75 or even over 100 lbs by the end of the series and seem to keep it off. What you may not know is that 90 miles outside of Las Vegas, near St. George Utah, there are three spas which have similar weight loss programs:

Fitness Ridge Resort & Spa
Green Valley Spa

These spas help people lose weight with an approach similar to that on the Biggest Loser TV program: healthy diet, exercise, education, and motivation. A bonus at these spas, however, is that they also offer massage, body and skin care treatments, and hiking in the picturesque red rock country right outside their doors!

In fact, I have often thought it might be a great idea for these spas to host a Biggest Loser Competition between the three of them! Whether they do that or not, each fitness and wellness program, although a bit different, would be a great choice for people looking to lose weight. Check them out!

Thank you Susie - I think that many of your "followers" will agree with me that this is a brilliant idea and if the three spas in Southern Utah take up your challenge we can see many "big losers" at all three spas. Weightloss/Management and Fitness is the number one reason people go to destination spas and weightloss spas play an ever increasing role in the health of the general public. With emphasis on obesity and the health risks overweight brings with it, every promotion and awareness to losing weight and getting fit will save lives.
As you know I am all for co-opetition - it breeds business for everyone, just like the restaurant row in Manhattan's Theater district!
I herewith endorse your idea and sincerely hope that the three spas will take up your call which one will become the "Biggest Loser Spa!"

Spafully,
