Canyon Ranch Spa and Fitness Center is located on the 3rd floor of the Palazzo Resort. It is just a little bigger than a regular hotel gym for the fitness area. The entry is complimentary while staying on the grounds. Upon entering, you must swipe/tap your room key and then sign in. Minors are allowed with parental signature. Towels are complimentary, too. I thought the amount of cardio equipment was alright given I was there at 3:30 on a Tuesday. I feel like the facility would be too crowded on a weekend mid-morning with long waits for the 4 bicycles, 7 treadmills, and 7 elliptical machines. The same goes for the free weights and the small variety of Technogym weight machines. There is also a small shop to buy fitness clothing and a cafe located at the entrance. There is no juice bar in the fitness area, but food and beverages can all be purchased just outside in the cafe.
I've been here quite a few times and it has literally ruined every other spa I go to now. Nothing beats the amenities and experience you get at Canyon Ranch. If you need a massage/body work, definitely see Ayoub. He's on a whole other level than any massage therapist I've been to. He takes great care and attention with his work. I'd fly in just to see him...he's that good!
This was a very enjoyable and relaxing first visit for me at the Canyon Ranch Spa and Fitness Center! (+) Called around roughly 11 am-ish this morning to set up an appointment for a treatment. The receptionist was very friendly and informative and made the whole process of making the appointment pretty effortless. Fantastic first impression! (+) Arrived around roughly 12:30 pm and was greeted by a friendly receptionist who checked me in. Once we went through billing and whatnot, she was able to provide me with a local's discount. Check this out.. Locals get 25% off! What a pleasant surprise! That is a fairly generous discount for locals, especially from an upper tier property! Mike is pretty happy now! :) I was able to purchase a 50-minute Canyon Ranch Massage, pay the service charge, pay an additional $20 for the attendants (I voluntarily asked for this to be added) and all of that, with the local's discount applied, had me right at $200 out the door! Sweet! Totally worth it! (+) My treatment was outstanding! My provider was friendly and was very attentive to my comfort level. I always prefer somewhere between a Swedish and a deep tissue pressure level, leaning much more towards deep tissue. All I had to do was ask for more pressure and was quickly obliged. This was a very relaxing and enjoyable massage, and it was just what I needed! (+) The fitness center is well stocked with plenty of machines, cardio equipment, and free weights. It was nice being able to get a good workout in before my spa treatment. (+) There is plenty to enjoy in the wet facilities as well! I very much enjoyed the Experimental Rains showers! Between all the different jets of waters and all of the lights it was a bit of a trip! lol The cold water was exhilarating and was the perfect follow up after spending a long while in the steam! The igloo was fun as well! The igloo is a cooler room (kept at around 40 degrees from what I've read) that has your Experimental Rains shower settings inside. Wow! Very exhilarating! I really enjoyed going back and forth from the hot to the cold to the hot again! The steam room was very enjoyable as well. Not huge, but they keep it nice and warm in there so you can get a good sweat going. They have a row of heated stone loungers available also. When I want to dry off a little bit, this is the perfect place to relax and do just that. I've actually caught myself dozing off on these things before! oh, and I did very much enjoy the infused water with cucumbers and watermelon! Very tasty! I don't have a list of complaints really, but there were a few things that were less impressive. - the dry sauna didn't feel very warm to me. I definitely preferred the steam room to this area. - the lockers are pretty small IMO. I only came in with a small satchel and what I was wearing and it still felt like I had to cram things in that small locker while there were so many unused lockers around me. - I did see the attendants cleaning and picking up around the facility and keeping it clean. Other than that, I didn't really interact with them much. - the jacuzzi was surprisingly very small. If there were more than 3 guys in there at a time it would feel a little too cozy. This was a bit surprising considering the size of the property. I very much enjoyed my first visit to Canyon Ranch Spa and Fitness! I would definitely recommend it and I look forward to my next visit sometime in the near future! 4 solid stars.
