Longing to make a healthful life change? Lake Austin Spa Resort has ushered in a new structured spa program called the Power of 7, designed to motivate you to put your own needs first — in luxurious surrounds, of course. You’ll spend seven consecutive days working with Lake Austin’s power team, from fitness trainers who assess your level of activity to a nutritionist who’ll get real about what you’re eating, in a program customized to your body, health and fitness goals. Kick-start your routine with unlimited fitness classes (why not try that Zumba class you’ve been eyeing?) and three square meals of the most delicious spa food you can order in Texas. Mix in a massage or facial, and listen in on seminars about gardening, mediation, motivation, stress management and more. Lake Austin Spa Power Week, from $3,495 per person, 800.847.5637; lakeaustin.com.

Meanwhile, those yearning for a day-spa escape closer to home can check into the newly revamped Balance Urban Spa downtown at the Hotel Icon. This boutique spa is a hushed escape from the maddening city above — where veteran spa manager Helen Flores-Voigt has added new treatments such as the moisture-building, acne- and hyper-pigmentation-solving Hydra Facial and the fragrant Cinnamon Delight Body Treatment, an exfoliation and massage in one. Or book the signature Balance massage that will make you melt into the table as every knot in your neck is slowly untied. Balance Spa, Hotel Icon, 220 Main St., 713.224.4266; hotelicon.com.
