Advantages: Relaxing atmosphere, good exercise classes, good beauty treatment, nice food Disadvantages: Expensive, not a lot of places to sit and relax, regimental, for the older richer person
Champneys Health Spa claims to be the 'UK's leading health and fitness Organisation". I went on a weekend break with friends last year. We chose the club at Tring in Hertfordshire. I feel that the resort is extremly expensive - we went for a 24 hour break (currently priced at £330) which included 1 nights accomodation, lunch and dinner on Saturday, breakfast and lunch on Sunday, a massage, a mini facial and a manicure. Normal stays are for a minimum ...

Advantages: You may get to meet a celebrity! Disadvantages: It is very expensive
...the end of October 2004 Champneys Health Resorts brought out a new range of beauty products. You may or may not of heard of these yet. There have been many review on these products in many magazines and they are apparently said to be better than alot of the top brands of beauty products and even better: they are at half the price. The price range starts from as little as £5. this is for a hand and nail cream which I have already purchased and used ...

Advantages: wonderful massage and facial Disadvantages: intituional feel, poor general facilities.
...massage and a facial at Champneys Springs in Leics. I was not impressed by the building and the internal environment - long corridors with lots of people wondering around in write robes gave it an institional feel and the buildings were ugly and sprawling. The massage and facial we both agreed were wonderful and personalised and thalassotherapy pool was pleasant enough though I wouldn't pay for it separately. The shower rooms toilets had a mildewy ...

Advantages: A TOTALLY RELAXING EXPERIENCE IN DELIGHTFUL SURROUNDINGS. WONDERFUL TO BE PAMPERED Disadvantages: TOO EXPENSIVE FOR REGULAR VISITS AND NOT ENOUGH RELAXING SEATS FOR PARTY OF FOUR
I went with my mother, daughter and daughter-in-law for a two day, three day break at Champneys, Forest Mere in Hampshire as a special treat. From the moment we commenced the drive through the beautiful grounds with a lake, we began to relax.
The building was imposing, the staff were welcoming and the bedrooms very well appointed. We went straight to the dining room for a very well laid out buffet lunch with both hot and cold food with detailed ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Conveyer belt mentality
I spent the day at Forest Mere. I found that 1/2 hour treatments are too short to be beneficial .This place has a conveyer belt mentality, and I definitely did not feel pampered. The staff were pleasant and polite and the lunch was nice. The changing room is clean, but the lockers are small. I felt that I was in a gym changing room, not a so-called first-class spa!!
You are supplied with a bathrobe, but the slippers are not supplied although you ...

Advantages: Fantastic customer service, great location, more then just a health spa Disadvantages: Certainly pricey but well worth it
I visited Champneys Citypoint for the first time because I had been to Champneys Tring for my birthday and found it be to be soooo relaxing, so I was quite sceptical that Citypoint could actually even come close to my birthday indulgence...O ye of little faith.
Champneys Citypoint is literally a 6 min walk from Liverpool st station and get this only a 3 min walk from Moorgate - what a way to start the lazy day!
As I walked into the reception ...
