The Bannatyne Group unveils major spa upgrade programme

The Bannatyne Group has invested heavily in the spa arm of its business after announcing the refurbishment of five spas in the past month.

In a bid to bring its members the “best health, fitness and relaxation facilities”, the group has spent £1m in the upgrade of its Mansfield health club in Briar Lane, Nottinghamshire, which included a redesign of the spa. 

The number of treatment beds has increased from seven to 12 and a new relaxation room is being built featuring eight heated loungers and four water beds.

Martin Atkins, general manager at Bannatyne Health Club and Spa Mansfield, said: “The new look health club and spa is amazing and has vastly increased our offering to clients and members. We offer members a holistic fitness and wellbeing experience, whether they want an intensive work out, gentle swim, relaxing spa treatment, or all three.”

Tomorrow will see the VIP opening of the company’s new upgraded spa at its Wakefield health club, part of a £500,000 refurbishment, which features six treatment rooms, an OPI branded manicure and pedicure area, and relaxation area with waterbeds and heated loungers, as well as a sauna, steam room, spa pool and newly-refurbished café bar.

Meanwhile, the group has recently opened the doors to its new spa at the Blackpool site. The £80,000 investment included five treatment beds (one dual room) and manicure and pedicure stations using products from Elemis and OPI, as well as creating six additional jobs at the club.

The group’s spa in Crewe has also opened, offering an extensive range of full body, facial and specialist treatments, and more than 100 people came to the launch party; and it also unveiled its upgraded Colchester spa, which had a £1m refurbishment. 

Back in May 2016, the group announced plans to add 16 more spas to its portfolio during 2016 and 2017.
