Spa & Wellness

The Fountain of Youth, a magical water source reputed to reverse aging and cure sickness, remains as elusive in the 21st century as when Juan Ponce de Leon searched for it in 1513. Youth is a state of mind, not a time of life, and it embraces all the enthusiasm for adventure as much as pure relaxation sprinkled with stress relief maneuvers, like massage, and pampering from your hair and face out to hands and fingernails and down to feet and toes. Personal indulgence directly impacts self-esteem, levels of optimism and a not-so-elusive enhanced sense of well-being. The power of rejuvenation holds the key to feeling fabulous, putting a spring in your step and restoring a whimsical, fun-loving spirit. The New River Valley is endowed with an abundance of massage options, state-of-the-art manicures and pedicures, hair treatments from trims to curls, color and cuts, facials and much more. Whether you are on vacation or a business trip, attending a conference, visiting colleges or college students and family members, consider carving out time for some beneficial personal luxury. Walking has been one of the very best exercises since the dawn of time, but can be another activity that gets easily crowded out of daily life. Copious walking opportunities in the NRV all include smog-free, southwest Virginia, fresh air. Swimming is another healthy exercise that does not require a lot of gear or expense, and the aquatic centers in Blacksburg and Christiansburg have open swim times and saunas. Workout venues include the Weight Club, CrossFit 460, Blacksburg Fitness and Pilates Studio, Anytime Fitness, YMCA of Pulaski County, Dublin Fitness Center, Floyd Fitness, Giles County Wellness Center and more. You might be dressing up for a classy Moss Arts Center symphony or international performance, dressing down for a day on the New River or Claytor Lake or simply slipping into the bestest, softest blue jeans you packed to meet a friend or colleague for coffee. Treat yourself to a swim, a walk, a workout, a spa treatment, and step out with glowing confidence and a renewed passion for life.
