Do you like to swim? Do you want a massage? Are you stressed out and in need of relaxation? Then check out Watsu. Watsu combines the words water and shiatsu. This massage is performed while floating in a specially designed pool of water heated to between 94 to 97 degrees.

During a Watsu session, you will be floating in the arms of your Watsu therapist, who will gently stretch your limbs without the pressure of gravity. The sense of being held like a child is important to the Watus experience. Most people find it very relaxing. Watsu is a gentle massage suitable for almost anyone (well, perhaps not the pool-phobic).

What should you know and do before your Watsu appointment? Wear a bathing suit to Watsu and bring earplugs if you’re sensitive to getting water in your ears. Avoid eating for two hours prior to Watsu sessions. Watsu massages need to take place in approved pools, and practitioners should be certified through the official Watsu association, WABA.

Watsu can only be performed in special Watsu pools, not any old swimming pool or bathtub. If there are no Watsu pools nearby, try the on-land version of Watsu, called Tantsu.

We can all learn from these clients who had bad experiences and never give a client an opportunity to repeat these situations. Even if you THINK you don’t do thisconsider any similarities in what you might do or what a client might experience from your session. The most important take-away point is that in most of these situations the client told me they didn’t complain about it at the end because either they felt it wouldn’t help or they were too embarrassed to say anything. Hmmm think about it: which of your clients have never come back and you don’t know why?

Horror Story #1.
Environment: Beautiful, elite day spa,
Experience: “I was having a great massage by “Sam” and realized that at times he was only using one hand to massage. Then I would hear what sounded like his “flip” cell phone closing. Yep, I was right, he was text messaging someone while giving me a massage!

I didn’t want to be the one who ratted him out. So, I told my nail tech who works at the same day spa and she informed the owner. Needless to say, “Sam” doesn’t work there anymore. It’s a real shame. He’s very talented and can read a tight muscle like few others.

I learned later, that at the time of my massage, “Sam” was on probation because another client had complained. That’s why he was let go–because he was warned, but kept texting.” Gretchen Anderson Publicist, Boise, Idaho

Horror Story #2.
Environment: New Age Health Spa in Neversink, N.Y.
Experience: “I lay on the table waiting and the massage therapist came into the room late by a few minutes. (several minutes more than just the “I’ll step out of the room while you change “)
She had left me in a cold room with just a towel and sheetno other props. The room was not even really a massage roomseemed more like a classroom with a table in it. The therapist was wearing jangly bracelets, slapped cold, runny lotion on me and rubbed me in no particular, therapeutic way. First an armthen an opposite legjust willy-nilly. With 20 minutes still left to go for my hour session, she said, “it’s not quite time but you’re done.” (The audacity of that still blows me away!)
I paid for an hour massage. And, yes I was done. I had to wipe off all the sticky wet lotion with the towel. Ugh. And, never ever stepped foot in that spa again.

It was 8 years ago and my new boyfriend (now husband) so proudly took me thereso I never complained if it had been today I most certainly would have.”
Debbie Phillips, Life and Executive Coach, Martha’s Vineyard, MA

Horror Story #3 & 4. (Poor woman had two bad experiences!)
Environment: High-end spa in Carmel, CA.
Experience: “The spa was always really great at creating an environment that was calm and relaxing – one of those places where you feel your cares melt away as soon as you walk through the door. I was led to the room and stripped down, got under the sheet, and the therapist entered and talked with me a little bit about what I was looking to accomplish.
The treatment started as normal, but then she started talking and wouldn’t stop. I learned about her marriage breaking up, her new boyfriend, why she moved to the area, her history of abuse… I’d tried gently telling her I appreciated her stories, but I wanted to relax and would appreciate a peaceful environment. She would quiet down for a little while, but then would pipe up again and start chattering about something else.
Rather than having the experience be relaxing and soothing, I found myself irritated and agitated… and more stressed than when I initially walked in! Since I had asked her to stop, and she didn’t, I could’ve gone to the manager, but on some level I felt bad for her. Will I go back? Nope. I never did, because I didn’t want to chance running into her again. It was just too awkward an experience.”
And her second horror story…

Horror Story #4.
Environment: A place that gives massage students their first gig out of school. Experience: “I’ve been to them a few times in the past. My therapist led me to the room and instructed me to disrobe, which I did.
At the time I was having an outbreak of psoriasis, which I outlined on my intake form. Psoriasis is an auto-immune disorder that can cause dry, red patches of skin on the body, but I’ve had plenty of treatments and never had any issue with it. My therapist entered the room and asked what I wanted to focus on, but when she pulled back the sheet, she started freaking out when she saw I had some red splotches on my leg.
She was backed against the door asking me if it was contagious, etc, etc, and wouldn’t touch me, then took off out of the room. I was humiliated. I got dressed and went to the front. The woman at the desk was apologetic, but I had nothing to say. I just wanted to get out of there as fast as I could. Instead I called another of their locations and told them what happened, and asked them if they would be willing to take me in. They said they would, and discounted my service, which I thought was nice, considering it wasn’t even their location that presented the issue. After that incident, I didn’t go back to any of their locations.”
Carly Milne, Los Angeles, CA. Journalist.

Horror Story #5.
Environment: Hotel Spa (a very ritzy hotel in NYC — wall street area)

Experience: “This was my first — and definitely my last.
My business associate and I booked massages at the hotel. They didn’t have enough massage therapists available so I had to wait for my friend to finish then I would go in. The sitting area was comfortable — magazines, candles, and soft music. The therapist took my friend first. About 50 minutes later my friend came out and had a very funny face on her. She said “Your turn and I can’t wait to hear your response”. I’ve had 100′s of massages good, bad, and terrible however what I was about to experience was … so weird and so funky!

At first, everything is going ‘normal’ and I’m relaxing and feeling good. About 35 minutes into the session I hear her pull something from under the table. Her hand is on my leg. I’m thinking she is getting some oil or something. No big deal.

The next thing she does also didn’t surprise me — I’d experienced something similar in Spain. She climbed on the table and straddled me massaging my back. (Editor’s Note: It is always best to ask before you mount!)

But the next thing… blew me away. She sits on me..buttock to buttock and LIES DOWN ON ME and starts shimming and shaking and using the heels of her feet on my back. Think someone convulsing on my back. I yelled “What the hell are you doing?” “Get the (blank) off of me!” She did and said this was normal in her massage. I told her that wasn’t normal!

I quickly put on my clothing, walked out, and my associate (who was a timid sort) said “I’m so glad you are feeling that way – I didn’t know what to do?”

I went to the hotel manager and told him about the massage I had just had at his spa. Thankfully his face blanched. He proceeded to find that the massage therapist was new — very new — this was her first day and that other people has mentioned her weird session. I was dumbfounded that people accepted her ‘massage’.
Even though the hotel refunded our money and gave us a free dinner along with a hand written apology letter from the manager, I’ve never been back to the hotel. It is doubtful I will go back to any place that never tests their massage therapists first.”
Pegine Echevarria, Speaker/Author, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Horror Story #6 & 7.
(Again, another woman who unfortunately had two horror stories too!)
Environment: Bali, Thai massages at a local day spa.
Experience: “Thai massage is one of my favorite forms of massage and I was really looking forward to it after a 19-hour flight from Los Angeles to Indonesia. I will never forget the two hours of misery I endured in at the hands of an inexperienced massage therapist with the WORST body odor ever. I think I broke a record in holding my breath! I was so focused on finding creative ways to bury my nose in the pillow without passing out that I barely noticed the bodywork. All I did notice was the wall clock that couldn’t tick fast enough.”

Horror Story #7:
Environment: Nidah Spa inside the Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe.
Experience: “I booked the signature Turquoise massage. Instead of hot stones, the treatment used chunks of turquoise to provide the pressure to the back. It sounded exotic and kind of mystical. Trouble was, the therapist used WAY too much oil on my back. Turquoise nuggets were sliding EVERYWHERE and dropping to the floor, while the rivulets of oil dripping from my drenched hair and nape ran into my eyes and nostrils.

The therapist also COUNTED the # of strokes on each body part! How do I know? I counted along with herup and down 6 times on the lower right leg, circled the knee cap 3 times, 6 times up and down the right thigh. Circle the knee cap again and repeat the action on the other leg. Same routine on the arms, and then she flipped me over and repeated the whole choreography.”
Rada K. Tierney. Communications, Phoenix, AZ

Horror story #8:
Environment: Calistoga, wine country of California
Experience: “My friend Eva and I were the only clients at the inn that day. My therapist, named Sun Bear was a sloppily dressed guy with greasy long hair. The room was freezing and austere. Sun Bear put on a small space heater and I got up onto the table. His damp, clammy hands began working my back. As the massage went on, the room got colder and I began to freeze up. “Please turn up the heat”, I said. He grunted and did so. It had no effect. I got colder and more uncomfortable as the massage went on while his hands, inexplicably, got clammier and damper. He was repulsive! (On some level there needs to be a comfort level with the person whose hands are on your body, and there was none present here.)
Toward the middle of the hour I felt more like I was enduring this torment rather than enjoying anything, and I started to feel resentful that I would have to pay for it. I asked him again to turn up the heat but he whiningly said this was as hot as it got. It was the only massage experience I’ve had that had me counting the minutes until it was over. By the time my hour was up I couldn’t wait to get out of there and put my clothes back on. I was shivering! Freezing cold and sore, also grossed-out by the inept skills and petulant attitude of Sun Bear. He shot me a dirty look when I neglected to give him a tip.

Typical too-nice woman that I am, I didn’t even complain. I collected my friend, who’d had a perfectly acceptable massage with another therapist, and we got the hell out of there. Jumping into the jacuzzi at another spa later on was pure bliss, as I tried to warm my body and push the horrible experience out of my mind.
Yes, I should have gone right up to the desk and said that I’d had an extremely sub-par experience and would need some kind of compensation if I were to ever return. But I didn’t and I’ve always regretted it.”

Julie Tilsner, mom of two, Los Angeles, CA.
Again folks, as a community of well-meaning massage therapists, let us not allow history to repeat itself! As was proven here, clients most often won’t tell you to your face they are unhappy with their massage from you, and you’ll never know why. Best case scenario, they just won’t come back. Worse case- they will tell everyone they know as well as to writers like myself to tell the world! http://www.successfulmassagetherapist.org/public/45.cfm

It is first important to begin by understanding a few things about the spa industry. In Diagonal Report’s 2010 USA Spa Market report, the size of the spa market in 2009 was a $15.5 billion dollar industry. According to ISPA’s 2010 industry report, spa consumers made 143 million visits to 20,600 spas across the US. While these numbers show a decline from the previous year (in both reports with contradictory figures) we must remember that 2009 was very different from today. With a stabilizing economy and consumers becoming more aware of the benefits of receiving spa treatments, these numbers are only expected to grow. Diagonal Reports points out that the spa industry will start to see a 1.5% upturn in 2011 which most spas are seeing more than that with some reporting 15% or more. The spa industry has experienced exponential growth since 1999 when there were only 4,140 spa businesses serving $4.2 billion dollars spread over 4.2 million visits. If we Relate the spa market to the leisure industry, it falls in 4th place behind Golf, Health and Racquet Clubs and Cruise Lines. The reason I point this out is that the emerging trend in the spa world is to create a synergy with the other leisure industries like those mentioned above, which means that spas are also making up a small percentage of these industry’s revenues. This is a trend that will only continue and club and hotel owners are noticing this in a big way.

It is also important to profile your clients to make sure that the demographics of your client match up with those of the spa goer. This information also varies by age, for instance some spa consumers are interested in alternative healing, some in fitness and education, and some in just relaxation. As you can see there is a lot to consider to determine what your spa’s concept will be and it is important to find a consultant who understands your guest and what they want. A spa designed for the business traveler is very different than the one designed for the vacationing young professionals, baby boomers, and families (and yes there is an emerging market for family spas). That being said, according to Coyle Hospitality’s 2011 consumer priorities study, relaxation and stress management remain the primary reason that consumers visit the spa. And what is the primary reason that people vacation? Now you can see the correlation between the spa and the hotel which is nothing new. Bottom line, spas remain mostly a luxury as does vacation and the two go hand in hand with one another. Now on to the point.

According to July’s issue of Hotel Management, there are 2,951 new hotels and 354,100 new rooms being built as of Q1. While there is no data available that I could find, I would guess that at least 70% of the 4 Star or better projects will include spas. Why? It really is a very simple answer when you look at the reason that hotels build a spa in the first place. You likely already know the disadvantages to having a hotel without a spa which is why you are reading this. Let us identify the advantages and why adding a spa would make sense. The most prevalent disadvantage is that you are likely losing market share to your competitors who already have a spa and you are likely discounting your rooms in attempt to attract some of that market share. While you can make an argument that not every person who books a hotel wants a spa treatment, you also need to realize that there is a large population that does. Even if your guests are not interested in having a massage or facial, they can still enjoy your spa by utilizing non-treatment areas such as sauna, steam rooms and pool. This is also a huge advantage that hotel spas have over free standing spas or day spas. Traditionally, the spa industry calls these areas “non revenue generating space” because it is considered as part an amenity for guests who are receiving a treatment. The same is true for hotels, but to improve your revPOR, you can charge a fee for your guests to use just the wet areas, in some cases as much a $75/day.

Other reasons a hotel would want to add a spa besides gaining market share or prevent losing it to hotels with a spa include the following. First, you can increase your ADR because of your additional “frills” which will improve your revPAR and your revPOR. Another wonderful advantage of adding a spa to your hotel is that you can begin to attract a local and loyal clientele and increase your package sales and offerings. This also allows you to continue to generate revenue in your low season. This makes the potential of the spa revenue nearly limitless with good marketing strategy in a receptive market. So if you have been keeping up, you gain market share, retain guests, increase your occupancy rate, increase your ADR by sometimes as much as 10%, and increase local business. It would appear that you are already ahead right? On the surface, it certainly makes sense but there are a lot of things to consider and evaluate. You must perform a feasibility study, competitive analysis, and crunch some consider then consider the finer details such as how big the spa should be, what theme, what treatments, what products, etc. While these things are equally important and will determine the spa’s success or failure, the aim of this article is to discuss evaluating the benefit and impact of adding a spa and how it can impact your bottom line.

Often times, hotel owners tend to look at a spa as a single unit to determine if it is profitable or not or a viable investment. While it seems to make sense it is not always the best to decide whether or not to add a spa. Where the spa fits into your income statement also depends on how you structure the management of the spa (tenant, hotel owned and operated, hotel owned but run by management company, etc.). Spas are extremely labor intensive and you must work hard to develop a steady stream of clients. Most hotel spas, according to a recent report published by STR Global run at a 33% treatment room utilization rate. There are many fixed labor costs but in most compensation models for spas create an incredible amount of variable labor costs. This makes the COGS very high and profit margins very low. The other thing to remember about having a spa is that the treatment rooms can be occupied multiple times per day unlike a hotel room that can only be occupied once per day. This is also important to consider when determining the size of your spa. There are also countless compensation models and cost structures to evaluate to decide which will be most profitable for your business. This is why reporting a profit for the spa alone becomes very challenging and sensitive. The point is that the stand alone spa, in most cases, is not an especially attractive investment unless it serves a unique and attentive niche such as a health or specialized resort. Monte Zwang of Wellness Capital Management announced in Nashville’s Day Spa Association’s Pro Knowledge Network that the average day spa has a net profit of only 4 to 15%.

Because of these few topics, you must look at a hotel spa differently to determine its value. This is best illustrated in an example. Suppose a hotel decides to build a moderately luxurious 6000 square foot spa which costs $2,000,000. Your feasibility study forecasts the spa will generate an additional $1,200,000 as a department. After undistributed operating costs, the spa’s income is approximately $240,000. This obviously seems that you ROI will be a long time coming. But let’s look at this a different way.

Suppose in the same example, the hotel has 300 keys at an ADR of $150.00 and is running at an occupancy rate of 70% yielding a revPAR of $64,695 and revPOR of $253 including additional department revenues. Its total revenue is $19,408,623 with a net operating income of $6,573,664 The feasibility study forecasts that by adding a spa, occupancy will increase 5.7% and the hotel can increase its ADR by 10%. Since the hotel’s occupancy will increase, it can also expect similar increases in other department revenues. With this forecast and adding the additional revenue generated from the new spa department, rooms revenues will increase 16.29% ($1,872,450) and total revenue will increase 22.47% ($4,360,834) before departmental expenses and undistributed operating costs. Net operating income improves by 19.11% ($1,256,328). By analyzing the addition of a spa this way, you can see that the ROI is much greater and happens more rapidly than if you were to only evaluate the ROI using the spa’s 20% profit ($240,000) Factor this into your capitalization rate and you can see how much your property’s value has increased. To simplify, see the summary below.

Total Revenues: Without Spa – $ 19,408,628; With Spa – $ 23,769,456; Increase – $ 4,360,834 (22.47%)

NOI: Without Spa – $ 6,573,664; With Spa – $ 7,829,992; Increase – $ 1,256,328 (19.11)

Net Profit: Without Spa – $ 4,351,377; With Spa – $ 5,153,389; Increase – $ 802,012 (18.43%)

RevPAR: Without Spa – $ 64,695; With Spa – $ 79,232; Increase – $ 14,537 (22.47%)

RevPOR: Without Spa – $253; With Spa – $293; Increase – $40 (15.81%)

Occupancy: Without Spa – 70%; With Spa – 74%

Average Daily Rate: Without Spa – $150; With Spa – $165

Some of you may be thinking that this is too good to be true and you might be right. These projections are based on a feasibility study that was performed in a market that made sense to add a spa. Not all spa’s can project $1,200,000 in revenue and not all hotels can get away with increasing their ADR and every hotel’s expenses are different. You have to relate this example to your own situation. Having said that, let’s look at another example. If the same property does not increase their ADR but did improve their occupancy, they would sill realize an increase in net operating income of $561,397 and improve the net profit by 7.9%, still making the investment attractive. On the flip side, if the spa makes no money ($0 in revenue) and you do not increase your ADR, your NOI declines 3.1% and your net profit decreases by 7.4%, which after spending $2,000,000 which would not be the best situation given the opportunity cost of the investment. Another thing to look at is if the spa makes no money ($0 in revenue) and you can at least increase the average daily rate and occupancy, NOI improves 7% and net profit 3% which is still up, but think of the investment. It would take 15 years to see any return. The challenge is, and this does not take any expertise to realize, if you aren’t making money in the spa, you are still spending it. Then at this point, you can investigate either renting the space out, doing a joint venture or working with a management company who shares the revenue but absorbs the operating costs.

I hope that this has not confused you and remember that this idea is only to be applied to your situation and expenses and especially your market and consumers. It does not work for everyone and doing the proper feasibility, structuring, budgeting and projections is crucial. This has not been reviewed by any financial guru or accountant; this is simply the way I look at the investment for a hotel to make my recommendations.

Easy on the wallet

One of the most prominent benefits of a swim spa is its affordability. You can use the features of a hot tub, a spa and a swimming pool in a swim spa for a very low cost. Planning and building any type of swimming pool takes a lot of effort but you can save your effort for more convenient options like swim spas. You should opt for buying direct tubs from the factory as they offer much better deals than most retail stores.

Simple and smaller models of swim spas start from US $15,000 and if your budget allows you can opt for bigger and high end versions that cost around US $40,000. Unlike swimming pools that always cost you a lot, the swim spa offers a large range of products and you can choose a version that suits you best. You could simply buy a portable pump that cost around US $3,000 if you already own a spa and transform it into the multi-purpose swim spa.

Health benefits

The main idea behind a swim spa is to offer you all the benefits of a swimming pool and a hot tub in a limited space. You can use a swim spa the same way you use swimming pools. There are turbines built into the tub that create water currents. These water currents help you swim in the opposite direction while staying the same place. The swim spa offers the same range of health benefits as any swimming pool and more.

A swim spa allows you to strengthen muscles and reduce body fat, cellulite and aid in weight loss. The warm water therapy is an effective way to soothe pain for people with arthritis and similar joint problems. It also improves flexibility and relaxes your joints and muscles. Hydrotherapy jets in your swim spa relieve stress and tension in your body and gently massage to improve blood circulation and metabolism as well as decrease blood pressure.

Safety

Chances of injuries in water based activities are much lower than other type. This is because water provides enough cushion and buoyancy to protect your body from sustaining any serious injuries. There is less pressure on the body while exercising making it perfect for people suffering from body pain and older people. It promotes cardiovascular fitness and works against insomnia, diabetes, stress and depression.

Maintenance

Unlike a swimming pool, a swim spa doesnt need elaborate maintenance routines. Regularly disinfecting the water coupled with state of the art filtering systems installed in the swim spa, there is no extra effort needed to maintain it.

With so many benefits derived from them, swim spas are a great way to work out, unwind and relax all in one place. Visit your nearest store to find out more about these convenient and effective exercise equipments.
