Record 4 2004-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sports Facilities and Venues
  • Physical Fitness Training and Bodybuilding
DEF

A usually private club that offers its members facilities for exercising and physical conditioning.

OBS

Although the term "health spa" principally denotes a luxury resort, today, because of marketing forces, it has also come to mean a special building or room, often in a hotel, where people may exercise, swim or otherwise condition the body; hence a synonym to "health club" or "fitness club". The shorter term "spa" should be restricted in its use to denote a mineral spring or the resort area containing such springs as well as hydromassage, mud and salt baths, etc. consequently when translation "spa" into French, it is important to determine the true meaning of the word.

Key term(s)

CONT

Even before a road was opened under a decree of Court from what is now Rochester to the ford of the Big Beaver at Old Brightom, the necessity of a bridge at the letter point was apparent. No settlement as yet existed east of the crook, but the embryo town of Brighton, west of the stream already contained a couple of factories and several log dwellings, so the necessary steps were taken for that purpose.
