An eventful evening at Beautcamp Pilates

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Beautcamp PilatesThe second of Wahanda’s successful Wellness Club events kicked off on Wednesday with an hour long complimentary session at Beautcamp Pilates in West London. A little more active than our previous event, guests were treated to a session with instructor Aaron who showed them why Beautcamp Pilates has become such a phenomenon after it’s popularity in LA.

Pilates

Everyone worked up a good sweat and were impressed by how energetic the exercises were. The reviews have already started to come in to thank Beautcamp and Wahanda for such a rewarding class. In her review, Judy-J gave the session five out of five, saying:

“Aaron was really helpful and came round for each position to make sure we were doing it correctly. I wasn’t expecting it to be such a good workout as I thought it would be more about stretching than cardio, but it was a good measure of both and I felt thoroughly worked out afterwards!”

WinnerBefore everyone scooted off to get freshly showered, Aaron was asked to select someone at random to win a prize of five free sessions at Beautcamp Pilates and the lucky winner of the night was Sophie, who can use her prize at either the West London or City branch- so there’s no excuses! All guests were also given the chance to win a £50 Wahanda voucher, simply by writing a review of Beautcamp Pilates on Wahanda.

Check back soon for news of our next Wahanda Wellness Club event – it’s sure to be popular!

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Six Senses Spa

Wahanda’s community has come alive in recent months with reviews, comments and ratings aplenty, allowing spa enthusiasts to share their experiences and insider info on what’s hot and what’s not in the world of wellness. As a reward to its dedicated power users and spa aficionados, Wahanda has now decided to give something back in the form of its new and exclusive Wellness Club parties.

Launching this month, Wahanda will hand-pick from the most active users on the site and invite them personally to a gathering at one of our many listed venues, for a free fun-filled session of anything from Power Plates to a quick fix manicure or yoga. As well as meeting like-minded spa-gazers and fitness fans, you’ll have the chance to enter a competition to win an exclusive prize with the Wahanda Wellness Club’s hosting venue – what’s not to love?

To kick-start the launch of these exciting social events, Wahanda has already lined up two fantastic dates to put in your diary.

Guests will be able to choose from a Head and Shoulder Massage; a Foot Bath Ritual; Scalp Massage; Back Massage or Hand Massage.

Champneys Champs

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008


While most of you will be gearing up for the festivities, fighting your way out of turkey and tinsel and worrying about how to deal with post-party hangovers, spare a thought for our Wahanda winners. November saw us giving away, not one, not two, but six Champneys spa prizes, which means that while you get stuck into seasonal preparations, six lucky Wahanda-ites will be pampering themselves to perfection.

With two top spa day prizes up for grabs and six product goodie bags on the cards, our Champneys champs were full of glee when we revealed their fate, especially seeing as though neither of our first prize winners have been to a Champneys spa before. Not that they’re spa virgins of course, Cierra – our very own jet-setter last visited the spa at The Ritz in Bali and is a regular at Kinesis pilates studio in Notting Hill, whilst fellow first-prize winner and sun-worshipper LizzieH also likes to spa when she’s on her hols. She’s already got a trip to Longleat’s Centre Parc’s spa in her diary for next year and this summer made the most of Madeira’s spa scene – jealous yet!?

But it’s not just our number one winners who like to indulge – all of our runners-up have a penchant for pampering too which is why they all have such superb pre-party preparation rituals. Billygilly (pictured) swears by a good exfoliation so her skin doesn’t become dull, followed by lashings of moisturiser to get her skin ready for the fake tan that follows and Nickintven loves nothing more than sweating it out in a sauna before the party starts. Sticking to their more regimented regime, neither visioneer nor Chris will leave the house without moisturising with the latter opting for a spritz of his favourite after-shave to finish.

It’s not all about the moisturisers and the massages though – it’s clear our Wahanda winners like to party as hard as they like to spa (both LizzieH and Kat40 (pictured) admit they’re suckers for a glass of wine), which is why all of their New Year’s Resolutions seem to centre around drinking less, eating better and exercising more – luckily for them, Wahanda has everything they need to become fitter, happier and healthier in 2009!

For detox deals and inspirational ideas look no further, and if you’re desperate to win more Wahanda prizes, make sure you visit our Wahanda Advent Calendar – we’re giving away fabulous spa prizes every day from now until Christmas!

One in a million

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Well almost! Last month our fabulous Four Seasons competition had almost 3000 entrants, but there could only be one winner, and that lucky Wahanda citizen was Aj7722. Picked at random, our extremely excited winner – who’s never been to a Four Seasons resort before – has bagged herself a prize package worth £700, even we’re jealous! Including full use of the facilities, our Wahanda winner plus one will get treated to foot therapies, E’SPA scrubs and body rituals, as well as a bite to eat when they need to take a break from pampering. And if they fancy forty winks, they’ll have the option of heading to a relaxation area, or trotting on up to their Four Seasons bedroom because this prize lasts more than 24 hours. Oh yes, it’s a mini spa break, and what a perfect time to re-boot – just as the nights draw in, who doesn’t need a little TLC?

Already a lover of spas, Aj7722 last visited Spa 6 near Cirencester and top of her treatment list is a back, neck and head massage – we couldn’t agree more – is there a better way to unwind? But that’s not to say she wouldn’t like to try out a few new treatments and high up on her wishlist is laser hair removal or an eye treatment of some sort so she’s left bright eyed and bushy tailed (well maybe not that bushy tailed after all that hair removal)!

We can’t wait to see what our winner has to say about Four Seasons, but if you’re feeling blue that you’re not the champ, chin up – we have a super-duper spa competition every month. This month it’s packages and prizes from The Sanctuary whilst November will bring you tempting treats from health farm hero’s Champneys- watch this space…!
