Personal membership for five years here is testimony to our fondness for this fitness facility. But the good news is that out-of-towners are made to feel as welcome as local members.
Visitors can have the run of the place for $25 a day, Monday through Thursday, $40 on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. There is a bright, sun-lit room filled with functioning equipment — stationary bikes, recumbent cycles, Transporter machines, treadmills, Stairmasters, weights and things to hang from — upside right or upside down.
The pool is so alluring that we often choose to drive up-valley to the health facility for a swim rather than swim in our own pool. The sun-drenched deck surrounding the pool is where you can nod off after a vigorous workout or swim and there is an invitingly large hot tub where you can meet others and get into one of those typical valley discussions that starts with: "ain't the weather just grand?!"
The facility is under the careful guidance of managing partner Eric Chesky.
Health Spa Napa Valley, 1030 Main St., St. Helena (just behind Tra Vigne restaurant, beside the Inn at Southbridge). 707-967-8800.
