A spa might have a large warm swimming pool, a hot tub, some treatments like massage, using essential oils. At the moment some back ache because of carrying my disabled son. I used to visit a swimming pool with a wave machine and a rapid river. It was such warm water and it was delightful fun to go there. One day I hope to go swimming at Bath Spa. Would you like to visit a spa? Why? Do you find swimming relaxing? Have you ever been to a spa?

Yap. SPA is a good thing for a total relaxation especially after a long week of work burden. I love swimming too because its a relaxing mode of exercise.All parts of the body are stretched as well.Less perspiration but better than sweating blood in a gym work.

I have never been to a spa as we don't have one in our local place. If there were one, I would like to pay a visit to it and I am sure that I would enjoy it a lot. I have heard people say that it is very good to our health and it is relaxing.

I always wanted to go to a Spa. My mom goes to Turkey every year and she always tells me about the Spa she goes to were she gets all kinds of treatments done. From laying on hot rocks to mud bath and some kinda skin peel all over her body. I told her next time she comes to visit we go to Mesquite . It's about an hour from Vegas and you can get a room and you can choose a round of Golf or a Spa Treatment.

Hi Maxine, I have never been to a spa but I sure need it right now. I have some ugly shoulder pains and won´t even talk of my back. My doctor doesn´t wanbt me to take anything but paracetamol (doesn´t kill my pain) because other meds are not good for kidneys. Next week I hope to have an Xray of the shoulder . Maybe what it needs is less computer. A spa WOULD be of help too, I´m sure. And massage to relax. You will have to discover a way to carry Leo that doesn´t hurt you so much. It can be very dangerous and I bet he is getting heavier day by day as children do. Take care. Hug!

I have not tried going to a spa in my entire life. I do hope that one day I could get my share of relaxation which I truly deserve.

I would love to go to a spa. Just one time in my life to have someone pamper me. It would be grand. I'm not a good swimmer, so the pool part would be out. Now a hot tub would be great, I also have a bad back. I had a ATV accident back in 97 and I landed on a pile of rocks with my back. I can actually picture myself sitting in a hot tub just relaxing and not worrying about my kids for a few moments. Maybe some day I will get to go to one.

I would love to go a spa, I have never had the pleasure of doing that but I love massages and I love having peidicures and manicures even though I have only had them twice in my life. But I would love to go somewhere and have a nice relaxing and pampering weekend. I would really, really like to go to a spa and I would like to try one of those odd treatments that they do at some spa's I think it would be cool to try something like that.

I used to be a massage therapist and I worked at a spa. It was a very nice atmosphere to work in. There was always soft, relaxing music playing. I miss working at a spa! I would love to go to a spa right now. I have pain in my back right now, too. Massage therapy is wonderful when you have pain!

yup I've been to a spa with my friends..I remember it was a birthday treat for us...we were in one room and it's funny because the massage was synchronized and we all chat while they do the massage...It's one of my unforgettable moments with them...I like hot tea after the massage, I feel so relieved after that!

After a long stressful day, a best thing to consider is goign to spa. I would go to the closest spa, and having some massage, relaxing my back, and I would forget everything on this world. I would have myself a moment of ecstasy.

I used to have a membership at a local spa. At first, it was called "Olympia Spa". Then, somebody else bought it out and it was changed to "Gold's Gym". Now, it's called "Solid Image". They had a room where there was all kinds of exercise equipment and you could go to exercise, which I did everyday. They also have a wet area where they have a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, and a steam room. I used to go back there as well. I enjoyed going all the time but the reason why I quit was because they went up another $100 on their membership. I couldn't afford that so I just exercise at home now. They would sometimes have somebody to do massages there, too. Oh yes, I find swimming very relaxing. It's one of my favorite sports next to horseback riding. It's been over a year since I last went swimming, though. Kathy.

I forgot to mention that I used to work in a health spa. I did nails there. This is not the same one where I had the membership, though. This was a ladies' spa and we did massages, facials, makeovers, and we had exercise equipment. Like I said, I did nails there and we had a hot tub there, too. It went out of business, though. Kathy.

Yes, I want to go to a spa. Like you, I want to experience the various therapeutic swimming pools. There's one particular spa here in the country which I really like to experience. They have different kinds of pools which are said to be very good to relieve people from so much stress.

I've been to a Spa and I highly recommend everyone to try it. It's true that at 1st the hot and cold water treatments can be a little painful, but after a Spa circuit your body feels revilatized. Also I tried a full body massage after that, and my body has never felt so relaxed!

this year i went to the spa once, before there, i was so expecting it. but after that, i think i wont like it so much as before. because so much people in the same pool, hot or cold water in the pools with all kinds of materials, such as milk, honeysuckle,etc, thouth there was groundwater flowing in all the time.

I've been to spa...a swimming pool spa and a hot tub. It's very relaxing. I love how the water pamper my back giving it a massage. You deserve it. Treat yourself to a spa, pamper yourself and enjoy it. Me and my husband treat ourselves on a weekly basis for a swedish massage. it's a home service massage. this is done every friday night. it's really helpful to keep to relax. you will have a good sleep afterwards and fully recharged the next day!

Hi maximax! I would love to go to a spa but still haven't tried yet coz I hear it's quite an expense :) But I would like to try it sometime when I have the dough :) The idea of soaking on a warm bath is really very relaxing :)
