Friends and I hit up Body Blitz's long-anticipated East location (King and Sumach) for some pre-Christmas togetherness.
I made all of the appointments for everyone's services myself and because the East location wasn't actually open for business yet when I called in, I had to book through the West location. It felt weird and like it would eventually come back to bite me in the ass.
AND IT DID.
I love Body Blitz on Adelaide. I've been going there for at least 5 years. I have even reached a comfort level where I can deal with the nudity so that's really saying a lot.
Body Blitz East is a different animal; it's all about the dollar there. It's way bigger and like a labyrinth. I get it, they did what they could with the space, but it's a mess. It was crazy-busy (like not conducive to relaxation busy) and they should probably consider capping the number of people in the waters circuit at any given time because it felt like a taping of "Girls Gone Wild: Spring Break Edition" and not what it was intended to feel like.
While the services I had (massage and a scrub) were good, they weren't great.
What I failed to mention at the beginning of this post is this; the appointments for the three of us were totally effed up. One friend actually ended up getting only one of her two services which, yes, is kinda #firstworldproblems but it's still a gigantic pain in the ass when you've been looking forward to a spa adventure for weeks and end up getting a massage you could get anywhere, in a place that feels like a frat party.
Oh well.
Back to the West location? Maybe this is growing pains? I don't know,
