Deep Tissue Massage at Chelsea Piers

by stargazerlilly1963

Had my first DTM and it was a pleasant experience. I booked an 80 minute treatment. When I arrived I was given a robe and thin rubber flip flops. Though I had my own I took it anyway. I thought they were adorable. :) They also provide locks for the locker, but I already had my own. I was told were to enter the spa area. It was very nice and serene. I was offered a beverage of tea or water. I didn't have to wait long for my therapist. He was a very knowlegable, attentive therapist and kind as well. He paid attention to me regarding my injured areas and after the treatment he took the time to give me advice on how to improve different problem area. I would definetely do another massage at Chelsea Piers.

Great manicure/ pedicure!

by aerogal619

There weren?t a lot of reviews about this spa, so I was nervous to try it. I was so pleased with my service that I almost feel bad for doubting it! Heather and I were brought into the manicure area right away, no waiting. I can?t remember our manicurists name, but she was very polite, friendly and did a great job. We were the only people in this room so we were able to read a magazine, chit chat a little and basically relax. After a week of hoofing it through NYC, my tootsies needed a good massage. My French manicure and pedicure looked great and the pedi lasted for two weeks. (I type all day and waitress at night, so my manicure maybe got 4 good days? Not her fault) I was disappointed that I didn?t have my workout gear with me, the gym was calling my name! They had so many machines and they all looked updated. The shower area was very accommodating and clean. Highly recommended!

• Pros: everything all in one place!
• Cons: location

Do Disappointed, I wish I could get my money back

by rikytiky12

Our expierance was lackluster. I was upset right off the bat when we went to relax before our message and we waited in what looks like a waiting room for an upscale doctor. The parade of therapist that walk through and actually hang out waiting for their next client is ridicoulus; oh, the kitchen is in that same room so you can get the relaxing sound of dishes banging. They only had a pitcher of water, 3 selections for tea and trail mix. All I wanted to do was put my feet up and close my eyes and enjoy the treat of the day.Couples message; the room was nice until someone continued to wash dishes outside and I couldn't relax anymore; my girlfriend loved hers, but me not so much; not a message to "write home about".Facials;AAHHH where to start. Well first, my girlfriend has a very fragial nose after she broke it and told her therapist when she touched it that it hurt. The therapist continued to say " you will survive". When I saw her after our treaments, she was crying, she said she cried through the whole treament. This is not acceptable, she has had facials before and has walked out with a smile ear to ear. My facial on the other hand wasn't has bad, complaired to others that I had I feel that they do as many pre treament before trying to pick at my face, because of this she pushed extremely hard on my face and four days later I have scaps on my face, to put it over the edge when she put a mask on my face so I couldn't open my eyes, I could hear her open the draw and start clicking away on her cell phone!!!Meni, Pedi.. this was the best part of the treatment! The staff was funny, socialable and just amazing at what they did. They really lightened our day!The spa seems like a total after thought to Chelsea, the set up is miserable. We had lunch included in our deal, it wasn't good and you eat with gym members. I paid $750 for our day and I wanted to cry too, it was a disappointed of a present and wish I could take it back and get something else of her.

• Pros: The shower in the locker room
• Cons: Everying, cost, set-up, lack of relaxation

JASON BEST FOR MASSAGE

by Neri212

I must say the reason i am giving this 4 stars is because the treatments were really great. Jason gave me an amazing hot stone massage and I highly recommend him. However, if you are looking for a relaxing day at the spa, this is not it. Its, well, Chelsea Piers Sports Complex. Not a spa with common areas to mill around and relax, as may others are. There are just treatment rooms and a sitting are to sip tea. Nice but not a SPA DAY experience if you're looking for it. If you want to use the pool, jacuzzi you have to wear a swimming cap and dodge the speed swimmers doing laps. Also you have to walk through a VERY busy common area in your robe to use the pool jacuzzi, definitely akward.

• Pros: great treatments
• Cons: its not really a spa...
