For quite some time, Alexander Health
Club has been conquering the hearts of female customes
in Taipei. Their new brand, Jun Spa, is a private ladies-only
club, an 800-ping facility with only 15 aromatherapy
rooms that took NT$100 million to create. Chairwoman
Candy Tang explains that this spa is aimed at professional
working women who seek a place to truly relax their
bodies, minds and souls. The water therapy pool has
ultra-sonic water jets that stimulate different pressure
points on the body for three to five minutes. After
the water therapy, ladies can relax in the spa lounge
and enjoy a short eye, neck and shoulder massage and
heat treatment, in order to extend the effects of the
therapy. About 40 percent of Jun Spa therapies originate
from Chinese medicine; the rest is aromatherapy from
around the world, as well as biotechnology from Europe
and America. One of the semi-precious gem energy massages
uses colorful gems and seven therapeutic oils to work
on the seven "chakras" of the human body.
A negative pressure vacuum cabin imported from Germany
delivers a weightless massage that works especially
well on the lower body, and is particularly beneficial
for those who are stressed or spend long hours sitting
or standing. An annual membership at Jun Spa is currently
set at NT$150,000.
