In Short
Set amid an expansive wetland, this suburban retreat includes a full-service salon, spa, conference center, fitness center, guest rooms and restaurant. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the expansive waiting area provide calming views of the wilderness. Downy white robes rival those in the poshest hotels and the locker room is stocked with expensive shampoos and lotions. The Marsh offers all the usual treatments (facials, massage, body wraps) and some uncommon ones (acupuncture, trigger point therapy).

What a welcoming place!

I've been to Lifetime, Northwest and the YMCA, and the Marsh beats them all. The personal attention from staff to my overall wellness, health and goals is phenomenal. The feeling of calm and welcome is present as soon as you walk in the door. If you're tired of loud music and TVs blaring at you while you work out, feeling like you're in a meat market, and you're ready to give and get some *real* attention to balance in your life and health, this is a wonderful place!

• Pros: easy parking, not crowded, good food
• Cons: not enough for kids
