Platinum Fitness

I was to blog about this since last week and didn't have the time. I'm so caught up running from here to there and I don't even know what I'm doing (rant stops here). Last weekend, we went to Platinum Fitness for some relaxation. Located in Gilmore (yes where all the gadgets are), I have judged the fitness and spa center too quickly. Upon entering a comfy couch was rested in the middle of the room and the smell of mint and oils  is all over the place. It looks so simple and I wished it is not "just another" spa. Little did I know Derek Ramsey is a member of this fitness place and the membership is pricey too! Around 38k annually for individual membership. The half glass doors are locked with automated security bolts.

We waited for the receptionist and had someone lead us to the womens wet area while my brother and our friend was ushered to the left, the men's area.

They gave us plastic bands with numbers and it made me feel so dumb dumb. What the heck am I going to use this for. They said it was the key to the locker. Ah-- technology! All you have to do is place the number on the sensor then you will hear the locks turning and tadaan! The locker is now open. I was so amused that I opened and closed it and I think im getting weird looks.


Moving forward, the wet room is uhhhmaaazinnng!!!! they have sauna, around 5 shower rooms with soap and shampoos a pool and 2 jacuzzi (hot and cold). I have never expected the place sooo modern and just so nice! (apologies since this is the first time I have heard of this place)


Yeah, to the oven.


Where I was simmered in hot water. =)) Oh so relaxing


Mother braved the sauna. I couldn't. I can't breathe. Oh yeah forgot to read the first pic's guidlines.


The shower at the pool.


Indoor pool. Ahhh If only my house is  HUGE that this pool can fit in.


Want to take a break from swimming. Chill out on the woven chairs.

I know its bad but after the hot jacuzzi, Irene and I went straight to the pool. It was only the 2 of us and the whole wet area for ourselves. We were called in because it was time for the massage.

We went to another room with an enormous flat screen with lots of lazyboy and comfy couches and dim lights. Reminds me of a living room and on the "basement" is the massage area.

I hope I'd get a chance to be here again. =) pretty relaxing for a stressful month and I love the facilities!

Post Mother's Day out

Due to the bad weather recently, we had to like postpone our weekend trips and wait until the weather is great. While I am writing this, I guess there is this effect of the typhoon which just passed by (according to weather reports, changed route) but still heavy rains and dark clouds on this Friday afternoon.

I am going crazy about coupons and all those great deals and few months back Irene (the bro's gf) was able to purchase 4  coupons for a foot spa treatment in Elegant Spa in Timog. So 2 Sundays ago we went to the spa to have ourselves well, the feet done. Since the SPA is up to 12am (yes midnight) we booked an appointment at around 8pm and got there around 9ish since we were all crazy on how we'd get there.

The place is small but cozy. I like their chandlier and everything is so girly.









My brother and I got the Mandarin Orange treatment.


Everyone starts off having their feet soaked with water on these rocks.


Here I am having the foot scrub thing while having my feet soaked in madarin pulps.


Then they spead this really cool mix of mandarin and mudlike mixture. It feels like menthol and citrus.


Excuse the old pedicure. After this they bring you to another room where they remove the dead skin cells on you feet, massage them and apply lacquer. The whole experience is UHHHMAAAZINNNGG!!!

The attendants are really nice and accommodating. They dont hurry up on their tasks and you can really see that your nails are filed and coated perfectly. This is so far the BEST nail salon I have ever gone to. They really make sure that you walk out with the best nails and treatment. I will definitely go back if I get around Timog.

SpuH!

For the sake of my detailed life. After a long day last Sunday, headed to the spa to treat myself for a day of pampering. Had chocolate foot spa and massage at Chic Nails & Spa. I love the fact that they give you free drinks while they give you a treatment. Basic package is around 700php which includes a massage and foot spa with pedicure.


I love their comfy chair

Again sorry for the pictures. I will get myself a nice point and shoot.
