US spa revenues soar to $21.3bn

The US spa industry is continuing its upward trajectory, having achieved a record-breaking revenue of US$21.3 billion in 2023, surpassing the previous high of US$20.1 billion in 2022.

This data stems from the 2024 edition of the annual US Spa Industry Study, conducted by PwC in collaboration with the International Spa Association (ISPA).

The study delves into the core metrics known as the "Big Five" of the spa industry: total revenue, spa visits, spa locations, revenue per visit and industry employment.

The study showed increases in all of the benchmark figures but key findings included new records set not only for revenue but also for average revenue per visit in 2023, which climbed from US$111.50 to US$117.20.

■ The US spa industry experienced record growth in overall revenue and spend per visit

ISPA president Lynne McNees said: “Increasing overall revenue and spend per visit allows spas to hire more employees and open new locations. This year’s good news will make it possible for the spa community to reinvest in growth.”

Jonathan Leary: Remedy Place to launch two new clubs annually as part of rollout strategy

Remedy Place, a US-based social wellness club brand, is poised for steady expansion in the coming years, with plans to open two new clubs annually moving forward

Remedy Place is the brainchild of Dr Jonathan Leary, who has a doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and came up with the concept while working in private practice. Seeing firsthand how patients struggled to live a healthy lifestyle and still be social, he set about merging the two in a new business model – a social wellness club.

The brand’s first property launched in West Hollywood, California, in 2019 and was later joined by another club in Flatiron, New York, in 2022.

Siro is a direct response to the societal shift in attitudes towards sports and wellness

We currently have two clubs in construction and plan to open two a year going forward
Jonathan Leary

“We currently have two clubs in construction and plan to open two a year going forward,” Leary revealed in an exclusive interview with Spa Business (www. spabusiness.com/JLeary).

“Our third club will be in New York City’s SoHo neighbourhood. We haven’t disclosed the location of our fourth club yet, but it will be outside New York and will be our biggest footprint with the most amenities to date, setting a whole new standard for the brand.”

He predicts the self-care industry is going to blow up, saying: “Just like there's a gym on every corner, soon enough there will be some type of self-care facility on every corner”.

Philippe Zuber, CEO of Kerzner, said: “Siro is a direct response to the societal shift in attitudes towards sports and wellness and was designed to be a rapid-growth challenger brand that enables us to expand our global footprint in the world’s most vibrant cities.”

RESEARCH

Research reveals new benefits from Kundalini yoga

A new study by UCLA Health found Kundalini yoga provided several benefits to cognition and memory for older women at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Benefits included restoring neural pathways, preventing brain matter decline and reversing inflammation-associated biomarkers.

Led by Dr Helen Lavretsky, the study sought to determine whether Kundalini yoga can be used early on to prevent cognitive decline and trajectories of Alzheimer’s among postmenopausal women.

The research involved more than 60 postmenopausal women aged 50

and over with self-reported memory issues and cerebrovascular risk factors. They were divided into two groups: one participating in weekly Kundalini yoga sessions and the other undergoing weekly memory training over 12 weeks.

While the long-term effects of Kundalini yoga on preventing or delaying Alzheimer’s require further study, Lavretsky said the study shows that using yoga and memory training together could provide more benefits to the cognition of older women.

Highlights include three new Dior treatments devised exclusively for The Lana, including Escale at The Lana, Dior Stone Therapy and D-Sculpt.

Meanwhile, the Dior Stone Therapy massage is said to help harmonise energy flow using semi-precious stones strategically placed on the body and a facial micro-abrasion using sapphire crystals. At the same time, the skin is treated with a Dior Skin Light LED therapy mask.

Lastly, D-Sculpt is a body massage designed to firm and slim by combining

the traditional benefits of wood, dry brushing and toning techniques.

ADD LIFE

Increasing life expectancy is one of the great achievements of our times and Starpool is working to bring real meaning to longevity

Acquiring healthy lifestyle and habits is far from easy, but is within everyone’s reach – especially if people are willing to be guided by science in the field of wellness.

The world of spa can play its part in delivering this support and the demand for products and services is changing – personal appearance is no longer the priority and the focus has shifted to improving psycho-physical status through the strengthening of the immune system and reduction of inflammation, which is the cause of many diseases connected to ageing.

Starpool has harnessed its 50 years’ experience in mental and physical wellbeing to design the ‘Longevity Spa’, a concept for those who wish to

dedicate space to supporting health and longevity. It includes a synergistic combination of technologically advanced equipment and user programmes that realise the body’s natural health potential by combining the physiological effects of heat, cryotherapy and dry flotation, through programmes developed according to the Starpool Method.

ABOUT THE STARPOOL METHOD

The Scientific Research Department at Starpool delivers programmes using a range of different technologies, also combining them in line with research findings to make a positive impact on the four pillars of health –longevity, stress management, sleep and performance.

“I’ve always believed the wellness industry has a duty to go beyond aesthetic results and

www.spabusiness.com 12 ©Cybertrek Ltd 2024 Spa Business Issue 448 108 spabusiness.com issue 1 2024 SPONSORED
sponsored

care about people’s psyco-physical wellbeing,” says Starpool CEO, Riccardo Turri.

“I was convinced of this when we scientifically studied the effects of spa experiences and was further persuaded when we launched our dry float systems– Nuvola and Zerobody Dry Float – to deliver the regenerative power of dry float therapy.

“Today, thanks to scientific research and product innovation, we offer our Longevity Spa to hotels, spas and resorts. This innovative format delivers the best health innovation technologies, as well as user programmes aimed at delivering preventative health and longevity services.

“Zerobody Dry Float and our brand-new Zerobody Cryo, combined with the anti-aging power of molecular hydrogen and photobiomodulation, are our ways of delivering wellbeing from within. Our aim is to enable people to embrace their use and turn this into a powerful daily habit,” he concludes. l More: www.starpool.com

STARPOOL’S LONGEVITY SPA PRODUCTS

1. Zerobody Dry Float

A patented system designed to regenerate body and mind Zerobody Dry Float was developed based on research into the benefits of floatation and reduced gravity. Dry Float Therapy allows body and mind to regain energy in an easy and versatile way. The body floats on 400 litres of warm water, without the need to get undressed or wet.

This regenerative wellbeing service has a positive impact on stress, muscle and joint pain, sleep, focus and psycho-physical recovery.

2. Zerobody Cryo

This is Starpool’s revolution in the world of cold therapy. Zerobody Cryo ensures gradual exposure to the cold, offering users the comfort of dry floatation and this makes the approach to cold therapy easier, resulting in the same benefits as traditional cryotherapy or cold water immersion.

Innovative in its simplicity, safety and accessibility, it features a patented water membrane that wraps the body entirely without the need to get wet, at a functioning temperature of 4-6°C.

3. Molecular Hydrogen Booster

The Molecular Hydrogen Booster is an easy-to-use nasal inhalation system. It’s innovative, accessible to all, easy to use and with a broad variety of psycho-physical benefits. Molecular hydrogen is the lightest element and thanks to its size, can reach cells in the body quickly, working as a selective collector for free radicals and acting on the ones that are the most harmful.

4. Photobiomodulation

This therapeutic technique is based on low-frequency light energy emissions which penetrate cells through the skin, enabling them to function more effectively, while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

This can have a beneficial effect the brain, improving focus and mental sharpness. It’s also a valuable support for the skin, improving the intake of nutrients and oxygen and boosting collagen production. Skin appears brighter, more hydrated and smoother after use.

5. Wellness Coach

This versatile, intuitive software allows users to select an activity of their choosing, according to their own wellness goal, and the desired difficulty level.

A virtual guide for the wellbeing of body and mind, the interactive Wellness Coach enables people to feel fit through the delivery of brain training content.

With Wellness Coach, time dedicated to rest turns into an experience of psycho-physical regeneration.

The guided mindfulness and breathing programmes were developed to ensure a type of mental wellbeing that impacts positively on many aspects of life, from work, to education and professional sport.

We Work Well hosts annual pre-ISPA charity hike in Scottsdale

On 22 April, We Work Well founders Monica Helmstetter and Lucy Hugo challenged ISPA members to join their annual SpasPushingLimits charity hike in Phoenix, Arizona.

Hosted as a preamble to the 2024 ISPA Convention, the hike up Scottsdale’s Camelback Mountain took place the day before the three-day conference kicked off.

“This year we were proud to support Into The Mouths of Babes,” said Helmstetter, “a wonderful organisation from Orangeburg, which feeds hungry children in poverty-stricken areas in South Carolina.

"We have already raised US$3,085.00 so far, thank you for making a difference! 'Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much' ”.

All proceeds will go towards purchasing food to make snack bags for students in Orangeburg living in poverty to take home each weekend of the school year.
