Hot tubs and swim spas provide warm water wellness
By Mimi Vanderhaven
If you’re considering the purchase of a hot tub or swim spa, you’re not alone.
Research regarding the health benefits of warm water have helped these units surge in popularity. Not only do you enjoy no-impact exercising, the warmth speeds up your body’s natural chemical reactions resulting in faster nerve signals, improved flexibility and increased range of motion, not to mention pain relief, relaxation, better sleep, stronger bones and muscles, plus an increase in endorphins—the “feel-good” brain chemicals that give you an overall feeling of well-being.
“Soaking, stretching, and exercising in warm water have benefits far superior to traditional cool or cold swimming pools,” says Relaxation Expert Donerae Testa of The Place.
Donerae and her two sisters, Andrea Reedy and Michelle Albright, are second generation owners of The Place, now celebrating its 50th year. The popular Medina showroom features fireplaces, barbecue grills, patio furniture, and one of the largest selections of hot tubs between New York and Chicago.
The most important aspect of buying a hot tub or swim spa, says Donerae, is choosing the right one for your physical needs, lifestyle, wellness goals and budget. In addition to a team of Certified Recreational Water Experts to guide you, here’s a quick summary of the benefits of shopping at The Place:
- 60 hot tubs in stock, new and certified pre-owned, including six wellness and swim spas to demo
- An indoor showroom featuring 27 hot tubs to “try on”
- Water test ANY unit before purchase
- A 10-bay service and prep shop plus indoor warehousing
- Free water care classes
- 0% financing or cash discounts
- Certified pre-owned hot tubs with warranties and trade-back guarantee
- Cutting-edge innovations like infinity-edge spas and commercial filtration
In addition to improved health, there’s the added benefit of an improved family lifestyle.
“It is a peaceful place to create quality time and reconnect with your spouse or children,” Donerae says.
“For grandparents, it’s the perfect lure to entice the grandchildren to visit. Plus, our clients enjoy it all year long, it’s less work than a pool, and you don’t mind getting in with the grandkids because it’s warm and feels so good.”
Plus, unlike walking, seniors don’t have to worry about tripping or slipping.
“Because The Place sells top-quality hot tubs with a life expectancy two to three times that of ‘five- to seven-year disposable’ spas found at warehouse stores and internet sellers, we have a source of great trade-ins,” Donerae adds.
“Our certified pre-owned hot tubs come with a warranty and trade-back guarantee. With hot tubs starting at $2,995, there’s no reason not to start benefiting from improved health and a fun, healthy lifestyle.”
