 Traditionally, Father's Day rolls around and we might think about a "spa day for Dad" but wonder if he would approve. The truth is, it's not 1984 and maybe your thoughts around the perfect gift for Dad are dated. Did you know that nearly one third of spagoers are men? It might be time to encourage Dad to take a step towards improving his health and wellbeing by visiting a spa. Even beyond getting sports massages and manicures, the right place can offer a wide variety of activities to kick-start a fitness regimen, healthy meals so he can drop a few pounds and the environment to meet some great like-minded people.
Today's spas have learned to become more gender-neutral so both men and women can feel comfortable with treatments and sharing space. Finding the right place is key to ensuring your pop is comfortable during his stay. Some questions to ask when seeking a place are
1. What types of activities are offered?
2. What is the male to female ratio?
3. Are there special weeks encouraging male participation?
