As Idaho Fall grows, more services and businesses are becoming available for people to enjoy. One such business is Avanti Body, a weight-loss and wellness spa.
Wife and husband Debbie and Shane Olson have owned the spa since the location opened in March 2024. Avanti Body is a franchise that started in California.
“The owner’s name is Terri Simpson, and she’s a friend of ours,” Debbie said. “We know her from some other business opportunities and organizations and so as she built her franchise, we just became more and more interested in the opportunity and decided to take the jump.”
Avanti Body is a red light therapy center. Debbie said red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that can help with skin health, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and supporting fat loss.
While red light therapy is available at multiple places, Avanti Body offers a way to get better results. They use medical-grade pads to provide more coverage.
“Proximity to the skin is important,” Debbie said. “We physically wrap customers in the pads and we can get most of the body covered, so the results from our pads are going to be seen much quicker.”
Debbie said oftentimes people will come to the spa to try red light therapy for weight loss, and end up returning for all the other benefits.
“It will help with many other things,” she said. “It can help with thyroid health, it can help with neuropathy, it can help with arthritis. We like to say that it can help heal your body from the inside out.”
While receiving red light therapy, customers can also be under an anti-aging light.
Avanti Body also has a 3D body scanner. The scanner gives information on fat content, probability of disease, bone mass, and muscle mass. Using that information, Avanti Body creates a comprehensive analysis and helps customers set specific goals.
After doing the light therapy, customers can stand on a vibration plate. Additionally, they can use the FabShaper machine.
“It has a circuit of 17 positions that starts with your calves, works its way up to your body and ends on your back and shoulders,” Debbie said. “The machine is good for your circulation, your surface level fat, your fascia, and muscle recovery. It’s really good for people to go to the gym quite often. They like to come in and use it because it helps work the soreness out of their muscles.”
Avanti Body is located at 3393 Merlin Drive in Suite B in Idaho Falls.
“Our consultation fee is only $29 and that gives visitors access to try everything that we offer,” Debbie said. “It’s a really valuable offer. I would just encourage anyone to get in and try that while it’s so inexpensive.”
