One of the things I love to do when on a mini-vacation here on the the Island, besides spend my…read moretime listening to jazz on the beach, is EAT! - of course. But with all that eating, comes those ubiquitous calories. They always manage to find a place on my belly, ass, and back. So in an effort to burn these calories, we like to keep active. While it can be more challenging on vacation than everyday to workout, we kneeled before Zod and swore an oath to exercise even while on vacation. Our normal routine varies. We have several DVDs that we use, an elliptical, and a treadmill in the garage. I scoped out local places where we might just go and have access to everything we need. I found it at Club 14 Fitness. The price for a temporary membership was extremely reasonable for the wife and me. The process to set up a visitor membership is so easy on their website as well. So I setup everything and very shortly after I set everything up, I get an email from the owner, Rae, offering to meet us at the gym to show us around as it was not staffed at that moment. I then confessed that it wouldn't be for another month and a half before we were in town. Yup, we are planners, or maybe more to the truth, I just couldn't wait to get to the daggone beach! I had email correspondence with Rae several times before arriving. I asked about the classes that they offered. I just printed the schedule from their website and looked it over. I was wondering how much it was per class. Yeah, no... the classes were included in the more than fair temporary membership fee. Okay! So the gym is a brisk walk, bike ride, or jog, from where we stay when we are on the Island, but we drove because we are lazy. The facility is not huge, but extremely accommodating. AND IT IS CLEAN! There are plenty of resistance machines, along with cardio machines, free weights, and an area with heavy bags, kettlebells, and other miscellaneous gear. The locker rooms are super clean and complete with sauna. This place is truly full service. The wife took several classes and loved them all. The clientele is pretty diverse, ranging from a few muscle-heads to retirees. Despite the traffic in the gym during busy times, courtesy is prevalent, staff are omnipresent, machines get wiped down by patrons when finished, and your smoothies are made fresh. We will be back next year, for sure.

Talk about a weird place to work out. This combined with her signs all over the gym, not to take the towels. (Gross - like who wants to take the nasty towels that are 15 years old.). On top of that several of my friends and I discovered that she was charging a maintenance fee unbeknownst to any of the members. She had the members' credit card information, and she was going to charge it no matter what, without even telling people. And when friends of ours brought it to her attention, she got completely argumentative, even though she was completely caught in her tangled, web of lies and deceit. I would not recommend this gym to anyone relocating to Fernandina. There are many better options without all the drama.

Thankfully they were able to get me in. I was 1/2 through my visit and got a voicemail saying they finally cleared me and were ready to see me if I could come back. Definitely would pick a different spot!

I love coming to the Spa at Amelia Island Plantation for monthly pedicures. Betty is the absolute…read morebest pedicurist I've ever had. In this time of social distancing and such, Betty takes her time in a private room to do the spa pedicure, which is extremely detailed and time consuming, and most of all quiet (not like other nail salons, where there is a crowded room of people having services done). I've had treatments at other hotels on the island, and I can honestly say, that for pedicures, this is the best place in the area, and priced really well for the time spent on the service. Betty takes extreme care and time with me each time I've been here, and her pedicures LAST. I went from March 2020, then because of Covid-19, couldn't get another pedicure until July 2020, and I was able to paint over my toe nails and make it work in between. As I said, Betty is wonderful and will take great care of your pedicure needs and she does facials as well. I will continue to return as long as Betty is working at the spa. One of my favorites on Amelia Island.

The staff was still extremely friendly and accommodating, and we never felt rushed or like our being a few minutes late threw off the experience. We booked the couples spa day, which included a one-hour Vichy shower, one-hour couples massage, and 30 minutes in the salt room with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. We started with the Vichy shower, which was the PERFECT way to start the day. It really set the mood and left us feeling so clean, smooth, and relaxed going into our massage. The massage was so relaxing that my husband actually started snoring! We finished everything off in the salt room with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, which was such a nice ending to the experience. The ambiance was exactly what I want from a spa day. They have a beautiful waiting area for the time between services that feels warm, inviting, peaceful, and comfortable. It definitely gives you the spa day vibes you expect when you're treating yourself. The staff was super friendly and professional. I also really appreciated that they didn't make you feel rushed, but everything still ran on a schedule and felt very organized. We seriously felt like new people walking out of there! We enjoyed it so much that we made a pact to make this a once-a-month experience. 100% recommend Natural Healing Day Spa, whether you're looking for a couples experience or just want to treat yourself to a day of relaxation. We will absolutely be back!

Shortly after, you will be greeted by your certified masseuse. Today I had Mandy. After a quick survey about pressure, spots of tension and any "no go" areas, the massage started. I purchased an hour, you can also do 90 minutes, add salt, hot rocks etc. after the hour, i was just numb, refreshed, reinvigorated. Just an awesome experience. I received a gift card and used it. It is an excellent gift and one I will be asking for repeatedly going forward. I highly recommend you try Natural Healing Say Spa. They are excellent.

The agenda included oxygen therapy, IV therapy, and cryotherapy. I have had other similar experiences before, but I am very leery when it comes to needles and freezing temperatures. Let me say, the staff was amazing! They were young with a vibrant bubbly personality. That's much needed in this world where young adults in their 20s lack customer service skills. The staff was very accommodated and made sure that me and my friend were seated comfortably next to each other. Unfortunately, due to my small veins, I was unable to have the IV therapy because of the two stick policy from the Nurse. But, I did take the shot instead, and I felt amazing. The oxygen therapy also was needed and well received. I was able to rest comfortably under a warm blanket while being pampered. Last but not least came cryotherapy. I haven't been that nervous since I gave birth! But again, the staff was knowledgeable and very reassuring. The experience ended up being a success! And I was able to stay in the full seven minutes with no break!!! when I return to the Jacksonville area, I will definitely come here again for some true wellness care

I don't normally get facials since I have a regular skin care regimen that I follow thanks to my primary care physician and dermatologist, but I do go for facials once a year and twice if I feel like I need extra care or just to pamper myself. So far the times I have gone I get the one that is tailored for my skin (lotus signature facial for 60 min) I am able to mention problems I currently have and Leah gives great recommendations. I don't trust anyone else with my skin. She is so knowledgeable and always able to recommend creams and face care products according to my concerns. Before she applies anything she explains what it's for. The massage in between is always relaxing and I always manage to go to get a nap in. I have not had an issue thus far and always leave refreshed. I cannot speak for massages or any other face procedures since I try not to do much to my skin and just limit to maintaining my skin texture and hydrating it as well as using products that will help me age gracefully and heal acne scars from past outbreaks. I always follow up with dermatologist about once or twice a year as well to track how my skin is doing. I have recommended this place to my mom and bf and they both have received facials courtesy of me since I love to treat them to a nice facial yearly as well.

It ended around 5:50, so I didn't receive the full time I paid for. The location also wasn't ideal during the massage, I heard two loud car alarms and an ambulance right outside the window, which made it hard to relax. While the masseuse was kind, the massage itself wasn't what I was looking for. I booked a lymphatic drainage massage but received more of a light, general massage with little pressure or technique. Considering the price (plus the generous tip I left), I was really disappointed overall. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.
