In conjunction with the Spavia team’s commitment to growth is their dedication to making a positive difference within the communities they operate.

Spavia Cares 100% Participation For 2021

2021-12-14T09:52:52-05:00December 14th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. — Spavia Day Spa’s core value and mission statement is to make a positive difference and give back to our communities. Spavia Cares is core to their every day, but Spavia makes a concerted effort each year in giving back to their communities. Last year, the Spavia community donated spa treatments to first responders and healthcare workers who were serving their communities amid the ongoing COVID-19 national emergency. This fall in our efforts to give back to our communities with Spavia Cares, there was a 100% participation from all 52 open locations.

The National Team held a give back program where locations could donate a percentage of proceeds to local charities from the sales of two treatments followed by a corporate match. Locations also gave back through hosting fundraisers and volunteering to organizations across a broad spectrum of categories. Donations and volunteering went to organizations such as supporting community development, education, health, human and civil rights, and animal welfare.

“Making a positive difference in our communities is vitally important to making change. It starts in our community, it starts with us. There is nothing better than to be a part of doing good for others. It is so beautiful to see such dedicated owners and teams supporting their communities,” says Founder, Allison Langenderfer.

Spavia Maple Grove had the highest donation among the locations that participated in the Spavia give back program. Their team donated to Maria’s Voice, a local nonprofit that was formed to honor the life of Maria Pew whose life was taken by domestic violence in April 2020.

“Thinking back to when I first heard of Maria’s story in the height of the pandemic, how eye-opening it was that this happened in our own backyard here in Maple Grove. I started following Maria’s Voice. I learned the sad truth that this is much more prevalent in our society than I could have ever imagined,” said Cristina Nolte, owner of the Maple Grove Spavia in Minnesota.

“At Spavia, it is important to give back to our communities and help others,” Cristina continues. “It is core to our values and mission statement as a company so I knew that we wanted to help but was not sure exactly how. After working with the founders of Maria’s Voice, we decided that we can help by becoming an empowered partner of Maria’s Voice making educational materials available to our employees and by raising general awareness to all those in our network and community.”

  • A Place To Turn
  • Alpharetta Red and Blue Dinner, National MS Society

It is our way of honoring their heroism on the front lines and expressing our gratitude.”

Paul Groshko, owner of the Lincoln Park Spavia in Chicago, Illinois, is personally matching 100 donations as well. Spa treatments and gift cards will be distributed to the Chicago Police Department and Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

“I hope we can help alleviate their stress,” said Groshko. “I know we can renew their bodies and their spirits in the little ways that are made possible during a session here at Spavia. We want to be able to provide an exceptional experience for them, and to help our front line individuals come back stronger and healthier than ever.”

Merirae and Randy Tackett, owners of Spavia in Reno, Nevada, are also personally matching 100 donations.

All donations will be collected and distributed to local hospitals, fire departments, and law enforcement agencies.

Spavia launches Sway Spa Concept

DENVER — Spavia, an innovator in the spa industry, is launching an all-new urban millennial brand, Sway. Providing guests with a multi-sensory spa experience, Sway will redefine the urban spa experience.

Nothing like Sway exists. From the moment millennials and urbanites walk through the door, they will relax and interact in the multi-sensory experience. Sway includes a panorama of visually engaging and immersive features, such as live plant walls, swings, illustrious murals, and innovative pods for quick massages and facials.

“Weaved throughout the spa experience will be customizable scent and music selections so guests can curate their journey at Sway and indulge themselves in ways not offered by other spas,” says founder and CEO, Marty Langenderfer. “A focus on experiential quality, along with modern visuals, is what Sway delivers to its guests.”

The concept of Sway comes from the founders of Spavia Day Spa, Allison and Marty Langenderfer. After a combined 30+ years in the spa industry, it became clear that Spavia needed an answer in the urban markets. Sway’s menu of treatments includes massages, facials, and additional boost options, including sensory add-ons to elevate the guest experience.

The genesis of Sway was inspired by the cultural centers of Barcelona, New York, and Southern California. Sway blends art, culture, and relaxation with Spavia’s spa expertise in order to deliver an exceptional experience.

“Millennials know where the culture is going, so we endeavored to leverage their insights and provide them into a spa environment that’s peaceful and relaxing but also playful and interactive,” said Marty.

Spavia launches 2.0, a new frontier in spa design

2020-02-20T14:58:24-05:00February 20th, 2020|Tags: , , , , , |

DENVER — Spavia, a renowned innovator of spa experiences, is reshaping the spa market once again by announcing the launch of Spavia 2.0.

In addition to revamping spa design, music, and scents within current locations, Spavia 2.0 is also proud to announce a total revitalization that is centered on three destination themes: Caribbean (ocean), Aspen (mountain), and Napa (wine country). These three themes will be included in all Spavia franchise locations opening in late 2020. They will provide guests with an immersive, multi-sensory spa experience that transports them to a unique visual destination as soon as they enter the spa.

Allison Langenderfer, founder and president, says, “The moment a guest walks through the door, they begin a visual journey surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of an iconic destination.” The scents, specifically, will be customized to the season in which guests visit Spavia, further enhancing the guest journey. Langenderfer continues with, “Each of the sensory experiences applied to a theme has been curated to ensure continuous delivery of the exceptional Spavia experience.”

Spavia’s goal is to have the right balance of design and technology in order to elevate a guest’s multisensory journey.   Music will be leveraged as an instrumental component to the Spavia 2.0 launch, as playlists will be optimized to sync well with the smells and visuals used in a destination theme.

“Each guest experience at Spavia is a journey,” says Langenderfer. “Our goal at Spavia is to provide each guest with the opportunity to relax the mind, recenter the body, and renew the soul. Spavia was founded on connecting community, human connection and making a difference with each and every guest.” With these fundamental changes to the design and the guest experience, Spavia 2.0 makes every guest interaction a moment to remember.

About Spavia

At Spavia, we deliver a luxurious spa experience at an affordable price. Our Spavia locations provide a variety of massages, skin care, body wraps, waxing, lash extensions, and make-up, and an opportunity to celebrate with a spalebration™ – all in a relaxing and tranquil setting.

SPAVIA – Countdown to Launch: Spavia 2.0 and New Urban Millennial Brand

2020-02-14T17:19:39-05:00February 14th, 2020|Tags: , , , , , |

DENVER — The innovative team at Spavia is pushing the industry forward once again as the national franchise announces updates to the brand along with the reveal of a new spa brand targeting the millennial market.  The new look and feel, colloquially known as spavia 2.0, will be revealed on February 20, 2020 along with the new brand concept from the company.

After a nationwide search and intensive vetting, the Spavia team integrated the best creators and designers in the country to create new and original work that pushes the industry forward. At its core, Spavia 2.0 is focused on further improving the guest experience to create an environment that rejuvenates the body and soul.

“We’ve identified a continuing need to fill a market gap by delivering a higher level of service. Our goal is to have the right balance of design and technology with focus on a multisensory experience,” said CEO Marty Langenderfer. “The new Spavia multisensory experience will focus on blending art & technology to create a seamless guest experience. Spavia 2.0 will feature new designs, music, scents, and technological innovations to make booking appointments, selecting music, and purchasing memberships even easier.”

For the company’s new brand, which will be revealed on the 20th, the Spavia team took inspiration from the emergent cultural centers of Barcelona, New York, and Southern California. For Marty “finding the right team of millennials who understood where the culture was going was very important to us to get it right”. The brand blends the art, culture, and relaxed environment of millennial brands with the expertise and experience of Spavia’s national team.

Fifteen years ago, when Spavia founders created the first concept, they saw a strong need in the marketplace as membership massage clinics started to enter the market with lower priced massages without the consumer deserving key elements of guest services and  experience.  “We know the educated, spa consumer wants more and with this in mind designed the Spavia spa with real, tranquil retreats, luxurious robes, and spa sandals.”

About Spavia

Spavia delivers a luxurious spa experience at an affordable price and provides a variety of spa massages, facials and skin care, body wraps and scrubs, waxing, lash extensions,  make-up, and an opportunity to celebrate with a spalebration™ all in a relaxing and tranquil setting. Spavia’s spa boutique provides products for home-care regimens to achieve optimal results or  beautiful selections for gift giving.

In 2005, the first Spavia opened in Centennial, CO with a mission to make a positive difference in the world, one guest at a time.  Spavia founders, Marty and Allison Langenderfer, have 30+ years combined experience in the spa industry providing core knowledge to deliver an exceptional guest spa experience, along with strong systems and a scalable structure. In late 2019, Spavia opened its 45th location, and continues to grow.

Spavia was born out of a passion for spa and entrepreneurship.  Anyone interested in learning more about opening a Spavia day spa franchise, please visit the Spavia website at https://franchise.spaviadayspa.com
