I decided to treat myself to a nice spa afternoon for my birthday. I booked a package that included a 60 minute aromatherapy massage done by an RMT as well as a 25 minute body scrub. The booking process was pretty great, I sent an email and asked a lot of questions since it was my first time at Body Blitz. Thanks to other Yelpers for mentioning/warning others of the noise levels. I asked the rep if Fridays were quiet (hoping everyone would be at work) as I really wanted a relaxing afternoon for my birthday. The rep mentioned Friday's were busy and Thursday afternoons were pretty quiet so I decided to choose that day.
It was my first time there so I had to fill out a health assessment form when I arrived. Body Blitz doesn't do tipping (I think it's probably built into the prices because it's super pricey!) The girl then gave me a quick tour of the waters, and the different sections in the spa. I felt it was quite clean, but sometimes the floor was wet from people walking bare feet or something. The change room seemed a little dated but all the other areas looked nice and well maintained.
It was quite the experience. It was my first time there so I was a little lost and had to look at the signs for the cycle. I tried out the waters first which was very nice, and the eucalyptus steam room was probably my favourite as well as the hot epsom salt pool. It got super hot and steamy in the steam room so I noticed a lot of ladies ran out pretty quickly but the salt bath was so nice and relaxing. My least favourite was of course cold plunging my body, but my body did feel good when I did a warm/hot to cold to warm again.
The lounge chairs were nice and comfy. I noticed a lot of women read a book when they wanted a break from the waters. You can also order a smoothie and juice when you're at the pool which is nice. I waited for my RMT to come get me and my massage felt great. Alex was really nice and targeting any tighter areas that needed work. She then recommended some exercises for me to help with the trouble areas.
When it came down to the scrub it was an interesting experience. You're laying on a soft table and someone is basically bathing you then scrubbing you down with the scrub you choose. This felt a bit funny for me as I'm not used to being practically naked lol and someone scrubbing my body down; but she did explain the process to me before we started and was very professional. I only had the 25 min scrub sampler so I'm not sure how the longer procedures are. I probably won't do this again, but again just my preference, other people rave about this.
I really enjoyed my experience at body blitz but the prices are a bit steep to do often. If you enjoy the pools you can purchase that separately. It was nice they also wrote me a receipt for the RMT appointment. I would probably do something like this once a year.
