Eleven charged in raid on downtown health spa Toronto Star

Eleven people are facing criminal charges after authorities raided a downtown Toronto health spa Wednesday afternoon.

Police and city officials executed a search warrant for the Toronto Health Spa at 1 Gerrard St. W. , and arrested 11 people, including the operator and the spa's employees.

The operator is facing a charge for keeping a common bawdy-house and the employees for working in one. Keeping a common bawdy-house is the more serious charge, carrying a maximum sentence of two years in jail.

When officers entered the spa, they found four "embarrassed, contrite and sheepish" middle-aged men, according to Det. Sgt Mike Ervick. The men are not facing any charges, but will act as witnesses in court.

Ervick said the operation had been running for at least a year.

The Toronto Health Spa, sandwiched between the Delta Chelsea hotel and Elephant and Castle restaurant on Gerrard St., is described on an online business directory as "the number one Erotic massage located in the heart of downtown."

What is the proper temperature for Health Spa and gym's work-out rooms?

I joined a health spa, but the excercise room is cold like 50-60 degrees. I can't lose weight, not sweating. Moreso the cold air closes my pores, and I stop sweating everytime I change machines. Does anyone know the proper temperature a room should be in a gym?


Most gyms keep the temperature low in an effort to avoid heat injuries. Believe it or not, sweat is not an indicator of fat loss, it is just your body's way of staying cool. You burn more calories in a colder environment as you body burns more calories in an attempt to keep your body warm.

The ideal temperature for exercising would be one that is cool and dry as opposed to hot and humid. I would guess that is between 65 and 75 deg.


I'm not sure, but, my gym is the opposite. If it's too hot out, I can barely get in a good workout w/o feeling like I'm going to pass out.

What is the PESTLE analysis for a health spa?

Im doing a marketing plan for a health spa and need to write about the pestle model for it but am unsure what the political, economic etc issues are with a health spa!!


Hi
you need to understand the people that use your facility

Political..
what if the law changes forcing all spas to be licensed?

Economic -
what type of people use spas? how are they being impacted in the current climate? are they more likely or less likely to spend their disposable income in a spa?

How come I never see fat women exercising at my health spa?

I just see skinny and average size people like myself.


cuz they lost weight


Because oddly, you have to be FIT to go to a gym, otherwise its just embarrassing.


because fat people don't like exercise.


I see a few at mine, about a third of the people there I'd say are overweight

I guess it depends on the area you're in, maybe the heavier people in your area don't have time, or may feel self conscious about going there, as it's sort of admitting that their weight is a problem (we all can identify as we all have problems in which we refuse to confront or admit they are problems) or they're at home looking for instant gratification


Why, does that bother you?
You'd probably just stare at them...
I see bigger women at my gym all the time. It's not a big(no pun intended) deal, really.


Because, unfortunately the gym has become more of a social place then an actual gym. Women can no longer just show up without make-up and jump on the elliptical, i guess they could if they wanted to but our society is so judgmental that they don't, in fear of other peoples perception of them. Its not that larger people are lazy they just don't want to be judged by all there peers when they are trying to better themselves.


it's very intimidating for a fat person to walk into a place where fit people are. How out of place for them!!!


Well, I can't seem to understand why your so worried about fat people working out. I guess with no fat people around, your the fat person. I think if people spend more time minding there own business they won't have time to sit and dwell on the who are not around. This was a dumb question. Why would the people not around bother you? Instead of sticking your nose places it doesn't belong, won't you work out and find yourself girlfriend! Or boyfriend.

Where can I find a Health Spa treatment facility near Yambol, Bulgaria?

There doesn't seem to be any locally.


The Hotel Ropotamo SPA is in Starozagorski bani near Stara Zagora isn't too far. The Romans settled the area for the thermal springs.

These sites list a number of Spa Resorts, but none are very close to Yambol: http://www.visitbulgaria.net/en/pages/spa_and_wellness.html#

If you were offered a day's free pampering at a health spa but had to take a bear, what kind would you take?

I suppose you're going to be pedantic and tell me a koala isn't a real bear.


Hmmm, I don't know how old you are but can I take the Hofmeister Bear with me?

what is the marketing mix for a health spa?

the 4 p's for a health spa ?


same as general marketing 4p's ---

Product - here product is the service you provide at health spa. Here your product is not tangible.You can't touch it. That's because the core product is the BENEFIT of the service that makes it valuable to the customer.

Price - How much the customers are paying for your health spa benefits. If your price is higher, the expectations will be higher, customers will want a higher quality service from you.

Promotion - Customers need to know what you are providing/how you are providing. You need to give them a reason to choose your service rather than someone else's. So how you are promoting your service to the customer? Branding? Special offers? Advertisement?

Place - Where is the service taking place? Also this could mean the ways of displaying your service to the customers. Is your service available when your customer is getting there? Does it have all the facilities needed to provide to your customer? Is it neat and clean?


Primp, preen pamper and pay!

What's the difference between a day spa and a health spa?



Health spa- very elaborate high-priced gym found in wealthy communities.
Day spa- where you go to get pampered NOT work out. You get your nails done, a massage, a pedicure, facials, steam room, given champagne...
Both are expensive.

a data point from an ayurvedic health spa states that its beneficial to drink hot water .. anybody agree?

they stated that the spring is the proper tim to cleanse or detox the body and that drinking approximately 6 glasses of hot water / day will help the body cleanse. does anyone have any 1st hand experience with this ???


Well, they aren't wrong.... but it's a bit mis-leading, too.
Yes, water does help to cleanse and detox, although I'm surprised they say only 6 glasses daily... unless it's 6 extra glasses a day. However, your body doesn't distinguish between hot and cold because the temperature will equalize in your body to about 98 degrees either way.
I've heard some people say that cold water shocks your system, which is possible for a few seconds while it warms up... but that wouldn't have any impact on detox because that would happen well after that.

have you ever been given an unexpected 'happy ending' while having a regular massage at a health spa or gym?


I haven't - but I live in hope and wonder if it has ever happened. A girl I know said it once happened to her and her mother, on the assumption of the masseur that they wanted it, when they visted a well-known upmarket spa in the UK some years ago.


Yes but I would not apply your euphemism 'happy ending'!
There used to be a really great facility at York Hall in east London where the practice was of community massage, a culture not a commodity. Most of the massages there were genuinely beneficial and people of all sorts from all sorts of backgrounds enjoyed them for massage sake.
Of course a few had to spoil it.
Draconian measures were taken to eliminate the problem - rather than apply the rule that this was not a brothel, the facility was removed.
I never saw anything myself, but one bloke offered me one and it was rubbish and I really did not need to have my groin patted to death so I told him that that was enough thanks and that was the end of it.
Massage should not be sleazy. Sensual, ok yes, it is a very intimate thing but it is also a thing of trust.
Pervy massage- an oxymoron.
