I received a 3 month membership as a Christmas gift and although I was a little skeptical after reading reviews I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Massage Envy is a chain, so yes there is something generic about it, but it is the people inside that make it special. I was greeted to a serene and clean lobby, and the receptionist got me in and on my way to a good massage. The masseuse did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed for the 50 minutes. I don't know that I would have done this on my own but after having such a nice experience I am considering continuing my membership.
