My antidote for stress – Get blitzed!

Need a little pick-me-up? Pay attention – If you want to get to heaven, the Body Blitz Spa can show you the way. They take hydrotherapy to new and intoxicating levels – and that’s before your treatment even starts.

Get Blitzed in Toronto!

Located in downtown Toronto and surrounded by hip eateries, the Body Blitz Spa is the ultimate in urban escapes – no line-ups, no tipping and no guys allowed.

But be forewarned – arrive early and plan to spend the day.

You pay for your treatment, but it’s the pool circuit that makes this spa unique. Start by soaking in the Dead Sea Salt pool, which is soothing relief for achy joints. Then move onto the green tea pool (anti-aging), Eucalyptus steam room (releases toxins and impurities) and an infrared for more detox.

And don’t forget the cold plunge pool – an excruciating 66F for a full minute, which feels like ten.

Alternating hot with cold stimulates the lymphatic system, ridding your body of toxins while opening it to healing. What’s more, you can take a break mid-circuit for a treat from the in-house juice bar – sublime!

My Deluxe Body Glow began with a thorough cleansing and scrubbing of my entire body with sweet ginger, maple syrup and orange oil. My noodle-like limbs flopped on the table as my therapist drizzled warm milk over me. A pressure-point body and scalp massage followed, along with a nourishing facial treatment. While a seaweed mask fed my face, my hair was washed and conditioned – which was as close to nirvana as I’ve ever been.

Whether you want to enjoy the therapeutic waters without a spa treatment or bundle body treatments with massages, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. But you can also skip the spa altogether and just come for the waters – a whole day is less than $50.

Long story short, how can you afford not to get blitzed?
