Abi Selby, founder of Spabreaks.com said: “January for many people is a month to slow down and take some time for our wellbeing. However, for many people getting back to the gym or taking on a strict fitness challenge can be overwhelming. The spa has so many benefits for our mental and physical health as well as being a place to just unwind and relax and can be a great place to spend the day or a weekend in January.”
