Award Winning Hot Tub Store: Des Moines, Carroll, Arnold’s Park, Lake Elmo, Plymouth

Wednesday, December 11th, 2013

This week I spent some time researching some photos and documents of Hot Spring Spa Dealer Award Winners. As I searched, it dawned on me that we take the awards we've received for granted. We should be proud of these awards and brag about them to everyone that will listen! 

You see, Hot Spring Spas are made by Watkins Manufacturing, part of the MASCO (MAS) Corporation. It is a Fortune 500(#336) company known for such products as Weiser Locks, Delta Faucets, Behr Paints, and many other products for the home. Watkins Manufacturing builds more hot tubs every year than any other company in the world, with over 1,000,000 spas sold to date! To be honored by such a great manufacturer means we're doing things the right way.

We took on Hot Spring Spas in 1984, so this will be our 30th anniversary with them! We alone have more than 20,000 customers; primarily in Iowa and Minnesota. The awards we've received vary from Regional Dealer of the Year and a Perseverance Award to our proudest accomplishment, the Locksin Thompson Award. This is given yearly to the dealer chosen as the best of the best from over 500 dealers worldwide. 

We're quite proud of these accomplishments, so let me take a moment to boast:

  • 2000: Region 7 Dealer of the Year Award
  • 2001: Locksin Thompson Dealer of the Year Award
  • 2002: Region 7 Dealer of the Year Award
  • 2003: Marketing and Promotion Award
  • 2005: Region 9 Dealer of the Year Award
  • 2006: Region 7 Dealer of the Year
  • 2007: Region 9 Dealer of the Year Award 
  • 2008: Region 9 Dealer of the Year Award
  • 2009: Perseverance Award
  • 2010: Region 7 Dealer of the Year
  • 2011: Region No Boundaries Award
  • 2012: Region 16 Dealer of the Year Award 
  • 2013: ??????

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. It takes a tremendous staff and the support of great customers for us to be in this position. We are thankful every day to have both! 

Thank You!

Saunas Fairmont, Sauna Sale Worthington, IA – Using Saunas to Improve Health: Beyond Detox

Wednesday, November 27th, 2013
For years, people have been suggesting that dry heat saunas are the answer to eliminating harmful chemicals and bacteria from the skin. A good sweat is a healthy sweat and using a sauna to maximize the body’s natural detoxification process is easy and safe. But are there any other advantages that come from relaxing in the warmth of a sauna?

Get Heart Healthy: Cardiovascular Benefits - You might be surprised to learn that fifteen minutes in a sauna can actually be great for the heart. And there is plenty of evidence to support the idea that using one daily can result in significant cardiovascular benefits.

Heat stimulates the body in much the same way as light cardiovascular exercise. As core body temperature rises, capillaries dilate, which increases blood flow, giving the heart a mild workout. In fact, using a sauna can positively impact a number of cardiac conditions by decreasing blood pressure and improving oxygen intake.

Weight Control - These days, who isn’t looking to enhance a workout for optimized weight loss? Sitting in a sauna promotes sweat and is a simple strategy that adds tremendous value to weight loss effort. After a tough workout, why not add a little more. After all, there’s a reason why professional athletes in training use saunas to “cut weight” - expelling salt and excess water from the body.

It may just be the answer to losing those final five pounds. While you may not be gearing up for a heavy weight champion of the world title match, you could probably benefit from a few less pounds here or there - and hitting that target has never been easier.

Increased Metabolism - Most of us remember from grade school the purpose of the metabolism - it burns calories and turns food into energy. But as many of us know, with age, metabolic rate decreases, making it increasingly more difficult to maintain a healthy body weight while continuing to eat the foods we enjoy.

In fact, once you reach age 40, it’s almost impossible not to pack on the pounds without changing anything at all. While you can’t stop the aging process, you can use a sauna to jump start your metabolism, helping you more effectively burn calories and maintain the physique you’ve worked hard to get. A healthy, revved up metabolism is the key to burning calories quickly, staying fit and trim and feeling great.

A sauna is a terrific way to detox, eliminating harmful bacteria and other contaminants from the body for improved performance and overall health. But don’t discount the other health benefits that can come from fifteen relaxing minutes. Improve cardiovascular health, enhance a weight loss strategy and rev up that metabolism for optimized fitness and a svelte physique.

Saunas Fairmont, Sauna Sale Worthington, IA – Healthy, Glowing Skin Begins With Fifteen Mi

Wednesday, November 20th, 2013
Beautiful skin is the fountain of youth. A rosy glow and a clear, clean complexion is simply ageless. However, despite our best efforts to maintain our body’s biggest organ, toxins and other stresses in the environment can diminish that youthful appearance we work so hard to keep.

The fact is, toxins are everywhere, from the food we eat to the water we drink, even in the air we breathe. While there is no way to completely avoid the harmful influences that make their way into our daily lives, using a sauna a few times a week can restore a youthful, healthy glow.

Sweat it Out - It may not be very glamorous, but sweating is the body’s natural defense. Basically, it cools you down when you’re overheated, gets rid of waste and keeps your skin clean and clear. Whether we like it or not, a good sweat is a healthy way to ensure glowing skin, pushing dead cells and bacteria out through the pores. But unless you plan on exercising day and night, it’s tough to break a sweat. Luckily, it’s easy to maximize the body’s greatest natural detoxification method with fifteen minutes in the sauna.

Intense heat promotes a good, heavy sweat, which helps the body more efficiently eliminate chemicals, bacteria and other harmful substances. Most of us sweat throughout the course of the day, but relax in the sauna, and the entire day’s effort can be accomplished in just 15 minutes.

Relax the Body, De-Stress the Skin - There’s no denying when you feel anxious and stressed it shows on your skin. The face is the first place to show signs of tension and pressure as crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles deepen, smile lines become more pronounced and the rosy glow fades to yellow. Sitting in the sauna for 15 minutes calms and relaxes the body, which loosens muscles, weakens lines and adds life to a sallow, overstressed appearance. The perfect way to unwind, a relaxing few minutes in the sauna and you’ll emerge tension-free and ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.

Increase Blood Circulation to the Skin - The skin is the largest organ in the human body and it needs fresh oxygen and blood to stay healthy, supple and strong. When you use a sauna, the intense heat dilates capillaries, which increases blood flow. As a result, it’s much easier for nutrient rich oxygen to be delivered to the skin. The outcome? A fresh, revitalized appearance that looks healthy, vibrant and young.

Great skin doesn’t have to come only from genetics. It’s easy to have a youthful and revitalized appearance simply by spending 15 minutes relaxing in the warmth of a sauna. For anytime rejuvenation and an instant glow, let the sauna maximize your body’s natural detoxification process with a good old-fashioned sweat.
