My First Visit to Total Woman Gym + Spa {Giveaway}

September 19, 2013

I rec’d a spa treatment to facilitate this review. No monetary compensation was given. All opinions are my own. 

Every woman deserves to be pampered, and last week it was my turn! A day before my birthday, I visited Total Woman Gym + Spa. It was my first visit with them, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had no idea what was in store for me. SONY DSC

Total Woman Gym + Spa is the largest, full-service gym and day spa in California. Total Woman is designed for today’s busy mom. From the state-of-the art gym equipment and their spa-like locker facilities, to their special training and group fitness classes, not to mention rejuvenating massage and facial treatments, (oh, and did I mention baby-sitting services) – Total Woman’s mission is to empower women to live their best life!

Their unique concept is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. They have all of the amenities that a woman would want in a fitness center, with a twist: Their full service day spas and boutique elements give their gyms the upscale look and feel of a 5 star day spa.

Their Mission: 
Total Woman is dedicated to providing women with the opportunity they need to reach their personal health and wellness goals by offering the finest in Fitness Services, Skin and Body Care and Wellness Education. Their services are provided in a welcoming, nurturing and supportive atmosphere. 

The first thing that struck me was how large the facility is, it’s huge! The whole place is very posh looking. My first impression was, “Wow!” SONY DSCSONY DSC I was thinking to myself, “If the reception area is this nice, I wonder what the rest looks like?” I was about to find out. SONY DSC See that door right there? That’s a door you want to walk through. Why? Because good things happen on the other side of that door, very good things! You’ve heard the song, “Stairway to Heaven,” right? Well, this is the “Doorway to Heaven!” I kid you not. Let’s walk through the door, shall we?! SONY DSC Once we were on the other side of the door, “M” (pictured below) schooled me on the spa procedures. She handed me my incredibly soft robe (it’s like butta), and had me fill out a little info sheet, so my esthetician would know what treatment would work best for my skin. SONY DSC Notice how dark it is in the hallway behind “M”? The lights are very dim in the spa area, and it totally helps to set the mood. I felt myself starting to relax and calm down, before I even had my facial! “M” gave me a little tour, which included the locker room area, (where I changed out of my clothes) and the sauna & steam room. SONY DSCSONY DSCSONY DSC After I slipped into my robe, I returned to the spa waiting room and waited for my esthetician to call me back. SONY DSC No sooner had I sat down and gotten comfy, when my esthetician came over and introduced herself to me. She led me to the treatment room and gave me time to slip out of my robe and onto the table. SONY DSC That’s when the magic began! I had one of the Signature Facials, which also included a foot scrub. It was 50 minutes of sheer bliss. My esthetician was fabulous! She explained every product to me before applying it to my face. She told me what it would do, why it was good for my skin and answered all my questions. She used a Clarisonic during my facial, which I’d never used before…and I really enjoyed it. When my facial was complete, I not only felt like my skin had just been pampered, but I felt relaxed. I wasn’t expecting to feel as relaxed as I did after my facial, that was an added bonus. I can only imagine how I would’ve felt if I’d had a massage! Kudos to my esthetician, you rock! I am not mentioning her name for purely selfish reasons, I want to keep her all to myself! (You know who you are! My face felt as soft as a baby’s bottom after my facial!)

After I put my clothes back on, I decided to check out the rest of the facility, after all, it is a gym! Boy, did I get an eyeful! Spin class, anyone? SONY DSCPlenty of workout machines, no waiting around for anything! SONY DSCAerobic activities to get your heart rate up! 
SONY DSCPilates tables! SONY DSCI’m not even sure what this is, looks like some sort of TRX type training, maybe! SONY DSC As you can see, there’s something for everyone at Total Woman Gym + Spa. I was extremely impressed with my facial and the facility. So much so, that I will be cheating on my regular esthetician and returning to Total Woman for my facials from now on. (I know that sounds really bad, but that facial was so luxurious, I must have more!)SONY DSC

How awesome would it be to go workout, then get a massage afterwards? Total Woman Gym + Spa is appropriately named, because it is the Total package! But don’t take my word for it, ten (10) of you have a chance to experience Total Woman for yourselves! SONY DSC
