The Berkshires health resort and spa, which has been helping clients achieve a well-rounded lifestyle since 1989 (the company's first resort, in Tucson, Arizona, turns 35 this year), continues to be a shining star in the health and fitness scene. Founded by Mel and Enid Zuckerman on the simple principal that you can live a healthy life by eating balanced meals, exer- cising regularly, and managing stress, Canyon Ranch—housed in part in the historic Bellefontaine Mansion—reaffirms that philosophy regularly with new treatments and programs. "Our guests' understanding of inte- grative wellness and the need to maintain their health has become increasingly important," says Reggie Cooper, managing director of the Lenox location. "We have always been about meeting our guests where they are, working with them, and utilizing the most comprehensive sci- ence available to assist in achieving the highest level of enjoyment of life." Celebrate that commitment with the recently launched Discover Your Fitness Age service, which determines a guest's physiological age through physical tests and customizes a plan to slow premature aging. The resort's 100,000-square-foot spa offers an array of new detoxifying treatments, such as the 80-minute Black Rose Facial, which reduces the signs of fatigue and aging with a manual lymphatic drainage massage and soothes the skin using rose quartz stones. This is one birthday party where guests will feel as though they successfully turned back the clock. 165 Kemble St., Lenox, 413-637-4100; canyonranch.com BC The graceful manicured grounds of Canyon Ranch provide the perfect setting for a revitalizing getaway. bostoncommon-magazine.com 137 the guide eat, drink, shop, unwind
