The staff at LA Fitness were great. It might not be an obvious choice for massage if you're more used to a 'spa' atmosphere. However, i think the more important part is the quality of the treatment. That is second to none - I've never felt so well-informed prior to the actual treatment and so relaxed after.
The massage I had with Ken was wonderful. He tailored it to my specific aches and pains and is certainly skilled. On top of that, he is extremely friendly. I did have to wait about 15 mins as I had booked at the last minute, but it was worth it and he gave me my full hour. Ambience is not amazing as it is a room in the gym, but clean and quiet so not a big deal and if it means better value for money, fine with me! Walked out feeling pretty good :)
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Focused solely on the areas that I was concerned about. Really nice guy, very professional and skilled. Explained everything he was doing whilst/before doing it and gave me suggestions on how to do some stretches at home as well.
Booked a deep tissue massage last minute as I felt I needed it after a long day at work! Location was easy to find. Ken worked out the knots in my shoulders and used a helpful number system to indicate discomfort levels. Towards the end of the massage, he used hot stones and cupping to remove toxins and add to the relaxation element of the massage. I felt great afterwards. Ken was professional and friendly; I will go back.
