Located on a sprawling beachfront site in northeast Florida, the historic Inn has offered a world of upscale oceanfront accommodations paired with fine service and a wide array of leisure pursuits year-round since its opening in 1928. <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Highlights from this episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ella Kent, Spa Director at Sea Island, explains why her team decided to implement cryotherapy at the spa and resort. &#8220;We have a<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>highly discerning guest and member profile, including elite golfers, and they&#8217;re looking for a couple things &#8211; they want to play better, have better performance and then they want to recover from whatever&#8217;s bothering them faster. \u00a0You know, training can address how to play harder and you can recover somewhat faster with massage and some other body therapies, but what else is out there to give people an edge? And when I met with the co-founders of Impact Cryotherapy, it was like, &#8216;<em>Wow, that&#8217;s that one thing that could appeal to both populations<\/em>&#8216; And indeed, we&#8217;ve found that it has. So the twin purposes of recovery and performance are the things that really drive the need here at Sea Island.&#8221;\u00a0&#8220;We have five trainers here and this has really helped enhance everyone&#8217;s experience, not just the golf community. \u00a0People are coming over everyday use to utilize cryotherapy.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>For hotel guests at Sea Island, cryotherapy is a family affair. &#8220;If guests are traveling in groups like families if one person gets it and does cryotherapy then everybody in the family has to do it &#8211; and\u00a0they&#8217;re all watching.\u00a0It&#8217;s fun. &#8220;<\/li>\n<li>At Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, the spa is open to the public &#8211; therefore so is cryotherapy. &#8220;We have\u00a0definitely gained memberships. We&#8217;ve started selling unlimited memberships and a lot of packages that we&#8217;ve been selling and repeat clientele, and a lot of our clientele are coming from our member base as well as our resort guests, too. \u00a0=Most people end up signing up for packages if not doing unlimited package once they try to use it one time, they pretty much become addicted to it and they love it. And they&#8217;re starting to tell all their friends, so the business is growing a lot,&#8221; comments Ponte Vedra&#8217;s Spa Director, Melissa Deese.<\/li>\n<li>Cryotherapy has helped bridge the gap between the spa offerings and fitness offerings at Ponte Vedra Inn and Club. &#8220;It&#8217;s something new and upcoming, cryotherapy, I know it&#8217;s something that our owner had brought to us of, kinda, looking into and it has definitely been well received, the wellness portion of it. So we kinda didn&#8217;t have a lot. I mean, we had the wellness and just our spa services so this is that one extra element that we get to add to our many services we have that we were kind of missing. So now people can do the cryotherapy and then enjoy the rest of the spa.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ready to Implement Cryotherapy at Your Spa?<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tune in as Impact Cryotherapy&#8217;s Sr. Sales Executive, Evan Hugall, chats with teams from Sea Island and Ponte Vedra to discuss how offering cryotherapy to their members and guests helps grow their business.
