KSL Resorts in La Quinta, Calif., surveyed boomer men in October and found that 20% of them had been to a spa. That's up from less than 1% five years ago, says Arthur Berg, vice president of marketing for KSL. "You used to see the wives in this age group go to the spas while the husbands played golf," Berg says. Now the men, driven to stay fit and attractive and to reward themselves for years of hard work, are enjoying everything from manicures...
