Spas and Pregnancy
by Tory
(Chicago IL)
When I was pregnant my husband treated me to a spa day. I had a pregnancy massage and then a facial. It is a place to relax and get away from the real world for a bit. The package came with a great lunch and access to all the pools, saunas and facilities. I could have used the gym but i was 30 weeks pregnant so I just used the pool. Al in all a great time and a lot of fun.
When it comes to Total Fitness and pregnancy the spas or fitness clubs are not as well equipped staff wise (my experience) as we could assume. Might be a great market niche for health spas and fitness clubs to concentrate and focus a program with certified instructors for the Pregnant Mom's world.
The impact on a true total fitness program for the pregnancy period would benefit mom and baby in my opinion.
