Editorial Review for Body By Brooklyn – by Katie Heffernan
In Short
Although a highway overpass runs just outside the door, life's fast lane fades as clients partake in B3's complete spa experience. The multifaceted journey begins with a range of treatments--from hot stone massages to the signature oxygen facial--then eases into the coed wet lounge. Clients drift from the elegant and aromatic Turkish steam room to an American cedar sauna or Russian bath, then finish their detoxification in the calm, modern bar and lounge.

I am a Brooklynite who has frequented several spas in Manhattan and in various cities when I travel but Body by Brooklyn offers the best overall spa experience. The space is fantastic, large and well set out, from the locker rooms, the wet lounge the bar and the therapy rooms. I have never had the same therapist twice and each of them has been phenomenal! The bar and restaurant are terrific; the drinks are innovative and delicious. Due to the wonderful experiences I have had, I have increased the frequency of my spa visits and have brought friends along who are now frequent patrons. The only problems I have encountered have occurred when scheduling appointments; there have been errors with regard to the date and time of my appointments and the policies have not been clearly communicated by the scheduling staff; however, the staff and management were responsive and friendly and quick to assist with resolutions. If you don't frequent Body by Brooklyn, you definitely should. I guarantee you will be hooked!
Pros: Great therapists, unique space
Cons: Scheduling mishaps

My friends and I come from Manhattan as often as we can to spend the day and I'll tell you why. This place is HUGE! I mean, you can really relax and stretch out here...there's even a dining/bar area. The dressing rooms are very large and SUPER clean and that's very important to me when I come to a spa. I feel like this spa has cut down on towels though and you used to be able to access replacement robes when yours gets cold and wet but there don't seem to be extras left out anymore. I'm guessing that is due to cost or theft...either would make sense. Also, they also seem to be allowing cell phones in when they used to NEVER be allowed which is case at all spas I have ever been to. I even saw a STAFF MEMBER talking on his cell phone in the lounge area...to me this cannot be overlooked and must at least be mentioned. A spa is a place to relax, forget work, forget your problems and breathe. I certainly don't want to overhear someone talking about THEIR work and THEIR problems when I am spending good money to relax and enjoy myself so I do hope someone reads this and corrects it or I cannot see myself continuing to go there. I heard people on their phone in the locker room and the lounge. If you cannot go a few hours without using your cell phone then a spa cannot help you. I did leave a comment card and hopefully management reads it. But let me tell you, if you have never had platza done on you before or if you THINK you've had good platza...(treatment explained on their website) then you have to come and see Ben. He is truly AMAZING not to mention hilarious and easy to relax around. The food was great as usual, they seem to have a very skilled Chef...food is always wonderful. And best of all...my masseuse Amy was a total dream. I have never before had such a skilled massage and left smiling, relaxed and 100% pain and stress free. Go to Body by Brooklyn for the body treatments, the food, the BRUNCH on weekends and the awesome saunas. Good times:)
Pros: Great wet lounge--huge dressing room--great food
Cons: Cell phones allowed--staff could be friendlier
