You got to stay at a spa while you were training? Must be nice.
I wouldn’t call it a Spa. It’s an American „village“ town. Meaning it’s a small population Center. The area is known and named around the water from there.
From Wikipedia: The village was famous for its mineral water spring used for healing in sanatoria,[10] including the Hawthorne and Lithia springs.
The effervescent water, tonic, and cathartic from this city is also known as Ballston Spa. The liquid contains common salt and carbonates of magnesium and calcium.
In January and February it would get as cold as -30F. When it warmed up to 0F it felt like a heatwave. That's not like any spa I have ever heard of...
