Blitzing is a New Verb in my Vocabulary: Body Blitz is an oasis in the midst of an unforgiving concrete jungle. Ok, maybe that sounds a bit dramatic but the contrast between the bliss inside and the regular mayhem outside is clear. When you arrive at body blitz you check in at the counter, they ask if you would like a smoothy while you are in "the waters" before they usher you through the door to bliss. The design inside is lovely, something like memories of scandinavia, lot's of wood and stone. If it's your first time they show you to your locker, get you slippers and give you a little tour. Then derobe (your choice, bikini or in the buff), and hop in the shower. I like to take my time here, give myself a good scrub with their delicious mint lime body soap and shampoo. They've laid out a circuit through the waters to maximize detoxification. The map of this is posted on the wall. First have a soak in the dead sea salt pool, which is the perfect warm temperature to ease in and relax. From here the circuit will take you through a eucalyptus steam room, an infra red sauna, a cold plunge pool and a hot green tea pool. I usually get in to about my knees in the cold pool, it's really cold (i know it's good for you...but the upfront torture is too hard for my weak will). I've gone with a group of 10 and I've gone with just one other. It's a perfect opportunity to gossip and gab. Body Blitz also offers a variety of massages and packs and wraps and facials. With these treatments the waters are included in the price. Without the treatments the price is $45 (Tuesday's $35) but you could lounge all day if you wanted too. Once you're done in the waters there's a great little mirrored room to blow dry, style and apply. I guarantee you will walk out of there a better person. (oh yeah...ladies only)
