That's Right...

You don’t need a hot tub—nobody does. You’ve made it this far without one, and life will go on if you never own one. But if that’s true, why are more Canadians investing in hot tubs year after year?

Some might point to the COVID-19 pandemic as a catalyst, but the steady rise in hot tub sales began well before that, and trends for 2023–2024 show another increase. Are people suddenly flush with disposable income? Unlikely—most households are grappling with inflation, rising costs, and stagnant wages. At the same time, health concerns such as arthritis, diabetes, anxiety, high blood pressure, and chronic stress are more prevalent than ever.

So what’s driving this ongoing demand?

Hot tubs have evolved beyond being perceived as luxury toys for the wealthy. More people now recognize that a hot tub is a valuable investment in health and well-being. Dozens of studies demonstrate that regular use of a home spa can positively impact various health issues, including those mentioned above.

Science-Backed Benefits

Take joint pain, for example. Studies show that regular hot tubbing can reduce joint pain by 26% and stiffness by 37%, providing meaningful relief for those with arthritis and related conditions. The combination of warm water, buoyancy, and hydrotherapy jets creates a therapeutic environment that supports pain management and improves mobility.

Addressing Concerns

Understandably, concerns about cost and maintenance give pause to many potential buyers. "I’ve heard hot tubs are difficult to maintain," you might say. "And what about the impact on my energy bill?"

These are valid questions, and while modern hot tubs are designed to simplify upkeep and operate efficiently, skepticism is fair—manufacturers have made these claims for decades.

But here’s the truth: owning a spa may not be effortless, but it’s worth it. A little effort in maintenance goes a long way, much like stretching or exercising regularly to stay healthy. And yes, there are some associated costs, but these pale in comparison to the savings on physiotherapy, pain medications, and sleep aids—not to mention the priceless benefit of improved quality of life.

Why It’s Worth It

When I read letters from customers over the years, the impact of hot tubs becomes abundantly clear. For those held back by arthritis, a spa can feel like a new lease on life. It’s not just about managing pain—it’s about rediscovering joy, comfort, and mobility.

Hot tubs can also promote better sleep, help lower blood pressure, and alleviate stress, creating a foundation for holistic health. And while no product can eliminate every discomfort, a hot tub offers tangible, consistent benefits that extend far beyond the initial investment.

Take the Next Step

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to enhance your health and happiness, a hot tub might just be the answer. While there will be minor upkeep, the rewards—both physical and mental—make it a worthwhile addition to your lifestyle.
