| - I visited Body Blitz East for the first time on Saturday. I booked a 60 minute massage which included access to the pools, sauna and steam room. Upon arrival, I was offered the opportunity to buy a healthy drink and given a tour of the facilities. The receptionist also gave me advice on the cycle for the pools/sauna. She provided me with flip flops and a key for a locker which contained a robe and 2 towels.
My 60 minute massage which included access to the therapeutic waters came to $175. It's pricey, but it has the potential for that price to be worth it. The facilities are great, but the experience is what matters most.
The RMT did a good job for my full body massage. She had very strong hands. While getting a massage, it sounded like someone was wheeling a laundry cart up and down the hallway and every time the RMT squeezed the massage oil onto her hands it made a super loud sound. Very difficult to relax when there was so much noise! Afterwards, the RMT provided me with a cup of water and my receipt. I was hoping for some feedback on problem areas - every time I've gone to see an RMT they've always given me feedback on tight areas, knots, stretches I should be doing, etc.
The therapeutic waters could have been an incredible experience, but it was so loud! They do not enforce the "no talking" and "silence" rules at all. RMT's were coming in yelling client names, staff were yelling names for people who ordered juices, and all of the women in attendance were talking to each other and laughing very loudly.
When I left the spa, my body felt good from the massage, but I did not feel relaxed whatsoever. I will not be returning due to the excessive and annoying noise. Hopefully this spa will realize that people want to go to a spa for peace and quiet.
