Spa and Fitness Center Membership For Health and Wellness

We all know that Physical fitness is an important factor in living a long and happy life, but keeping fit in the modern world can sometimes be a challenge.  For thousands living in the Hudson Valley, juggling our careers and our families leaves little time to think about our own fitness, and less time to actually do something about it.

The recent economic downturn has made it harder than ever to focus on our health and wellness.  With so many of us struggling from day to day just to make ends meet, it can be difficult to justify investing our time or money in fitness.    

The truth is, you can’t afford not to invest in your own well being – the US Center for Disease Control cites lack of physical exercise as the leading cause of chronic disease in America, and the high cost of healthcare can be as debilitating to a family as dealing with the illness itself.

Studies show that devoting just 30 minutes a day to regular fitness training can significantly improve your health and lower your risk of chronic disease. You owe it to yourself, and to your family, to find the time to work towards a healthier, happier life.

The Spa at Hudson Valley Resort is making it easier than ever for you to choose fitness.

With our new extended hours and Summer Spa Memberships available at exceptional prices, you’ll be amazed at just how simple and inexpensive keeping fit can be!

Our glass enclosed fitness center features Cybex weight training equipment, free weights, treadmills, recumbent & stationary bicycles, elliptical & step machines and more to help you tailor your workout and keep things fun!

Of course, Membership to the Spa at Hudson Valley Resort includes much more than just the use of our fitness center!  You’ll love relaxing after your workout in our beautiful, well appointed Spa!

Enjoy the Jacuzzi, Sauna and Steam Rooms, or take an invigorating swim in the pool- who knew choosing fitness could be so enjoyable?

Why not check it out?  With Day Passes also available at very reasonable rates, there’s no reason not to stop on by and find out why so many people in the Hudson Valley are choosing to invest in their health at the Spa at Hudson Valley Resort!   

Check out Foursquare and "Check-In" at the Resort!

The Hudson Valley Resort & Spa is a pretty big place, and with so many things to do it can sometimes be a challenge to keep track of your friends and family while at the Resort or exploring the Hudson Valley.

We know how frustrating it can be trying to track someone down in an unfamiliar place- so we've created "check-in" points at many of the Resort's features and amenities using "Foursquare", a mobile social sharing App!

"I think Janie's at the pool... Michael said he was going to the Golf Course, but he might stop by the Arcade Center first.  John went to play Tennis (or was that basketball?).  Mary... well, I'm not sure where Mary is!  Maybe at the Spa?"

Sound Familiar?  Enter technology.  

Foursquare lets you share where you are with your Facebook friends and Twitter followers using your iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or other mobile device.  It’s a fun way to keep track of your friends and family, share venue tips, and explore local attractions!

How it works:

If you haven’t already, download the Foursquare App to your mobile device at foursquare.com- it’s completely free, and sign up is quick and easy!  

Foursquare uses your mobile device’s geo-location (gps) service to pinpoint your location upon request.  You can then choose to “Check in” at that location and let others know where you are, learn about local events and attractions, share venue tips and photos, and more!

Best of all, you can allow Foursquare to post your check-ins to your Facebook timeline and Twitter feed- what better way to let folks back home know how much fun you’re having at the pool?

Foursquare isn’t just a valuable tool, it’s also a lot of fun!  Points are earned for each check-in, badges are awarded for various achievements, and the person who logs the most “check-ins” at a particular place is declared “Mayor”! 

Try it out on your next visit to Hudson Valley Resort & Spa! Visit foursquare.com for more information, or to download the App!

Springtime in the Hudson Valley

"Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the result of their love!"

-Sitting Bull

The robins are busy building their nests and the tulips have pushed their way through the warming soil, blooming in defiance of winter’s chill.  

Everywhere delicate apple blossoms sweetly scent the brisk morning air.  

Bubbling brooks merrily meander through the ancient Catskill hemlock groves; secret, unseen and unspoiled by the multitudes of men.

Adorned with magnificent pink and white garlands of flowering mountain laurel, the quiet, shady trails of the fabled Shawangunks await, while jeweled hummingbirds flit about sipping sweet nectar like gentle fairies guarding their hallowed glades.

Quote the bard, "proud pied April, dressed in all his trim, Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing."

Planning a Springtime wedding? The Hudson Valley is the perfect place for your special day!

Come and relax your winter worries away in our full-service spa, or take in a round of golf on our 18 hole championship golf course.  Hudson Valley Resort and Spa has something for everyone.

Offering the ideal location for exploring the natural beauty of the Catskill and Shawangunk Mountains, The Hudson Valley Resort and Spa is the perfect springtime getaway.
