First time trying this place and I was very impressed. Angela was amazing and really helped ease the tension in my neck and shoulders. I can't wait to try full body. read more

First before let me give me credentials. I am a California licensed massage therapist with 524 hours of training from Golden West College in Huntington Beach, CA. I also have training in iliotibial band stretching, sports massage, hot stone, and prenatal massage. I worked for a chiropractor in Irvine, and I was also a massage therapist, and therapist hiring manager. I have been a Professional massage therapist since 2007. Needless to say I am a stickler, and this is more than just a review. Pros: The massage was relaxing for the most part, and the therapist (didn't get her name) worked ever part of my foot and leg. Cons: When I first went in I told the receptionist I wanted a foot massage, she said okay, and I said "It's feet only correct?", she agreed and said yes. She had me lay face up on the massage table. The therapist brought out a bucket, and had me soak for 5 minutes. She laid a blanket over my chest, and face. Here is the problem, since you're making me wear a mask, it is so hard to breath, now you cover my face. I had to lower the mask just so I could breathe. Fast forward after the foot massage. She started working my legs and arms, and told me to turn over, I was confused but also tired. Well, then she started massaging my back, arms, and neck. I told her Oh this was supposed to be feet only. She didn't speak any English, so she couldn't understand me. I am not racist at all, and this isn't a race issue, this is a listening issues. If people just listened this world would be a better place. So, could you save money by coming here? Sure. But, the training, license in America, COMMUNICATION, and therapist who asks you health questions to know your ailments, is worth the $65-80. Please take this review as technical as possible, To the receptionist of the In Step, please start listening when someone tells you they only want feet. read more

I am extremely sensitive to touch which means it's very hard for me to enjoy a massage but my fiancé loves them so we decided to visit In Step Massage. The waiting area could use some updating. The people were friendly. Bathrooms were clean. It's very quiet overall but I do hate that you can sometimes hear people's conversations and some people snoring (which I get you encounter in most quiet places). We got a couples massage for $76 on a Saturday afternoon. I did see a used napkin under my table (which I had to look at throughout the entire massage) but overall I would say this place is pretty clean. My fiancé loves a lot of pressure and needs a heavy hand and he really enjoyed his massage. I on the other hand need extremely soft and gentle hands. I've been to a few different places and every single one of them has gotten me close to tears. I would ask them to be gentle band they'd still hurt me. The lady massaging me kept making sure she was being gentle enough and would change her pressure if I told her she was hurting me. I'm just bummed I didn't get her name. She was absolutely amazing.

I just finished booking a massage for myself and three others. I've been to this place multiple times and I love that they always have availability for large parties. In the past I use Christie and Lulu and they were great. This time we had two men and two women which I didn't ask for their name but they were great. We all got the 90 min foot/swearing body massage for $55. read more

Balancing Massage - Massage Near Me - Whittier, California

The absolute best massage money can buy! I have Fibromyalgia and have regularly gotten massage therapy for around 10 years. In fact I just recently took a short get away and paid 3 times what I paid at In Step at a high end hotel spa and they aren't even in the same arena. The expertise and devotion to traditional wellness makes all the difference. This place is consistently amazing because it is not westernized. I can't say enough good things about how therapeutic this place is. A true den of healing that never fails to impress and leave me feeling lighter, refreshed, and more prepared for life. Additionally, as a nurse my expectations for Covid precautions are high. These guys have a great system in place and their commitment to your wellness is evident. read more

Jack was my masseuse. It was first time with him but it's a reliable place. Always clean, never had anything weird happen. Very respectful and gets the job done. I had a very good experience today. It's 25 bucks for their 60 min foot massage. I paid an extra 5 for the foot scrub package. My legs feel nice and smooth now. I noticed they have the cbd oil package which I will try with their 45 table massage next time. read more

See all

We decided to give this place a try. It was our first time getting massages. It was three of us, my sister, mom and myself. We were a little worried being our first time going to a massage parlor. My sister hated massages. She couldn't even bare her husband initiating a massage. Well... she loved it!! I've had massages from my partner but never in a setting like this. Loved, loved it!! The masseuse was gentle when needed and a little more rough when my knots required. The ambiance was excellent, the oils just perfect. Everything came together to create an excellent first experience. Not to mention the prices were just right!! We will be returning and with our significant others. read more

Loved this place! Like other reviews have said, don't let the outside appearance fool you. The inside is very calming, clean, and pretty! I called in advance to make an appointment for a one hour regular full body massage. I don't believe you have to make an apt but if you don't want to wait, I would recommend making one. Price was $45 (Deep tissue is $55). My masseur's name was Ken. He did an amazing job and was very attentive to the pressure I liked. He always checked to make sure I was comfortable. Ken was also very kind and respectful. The atmosphere is very peaceful. Low light and calming music. Very relaxing. Water or hot tea is offered at the end of your massage. Highly recommended! Please bring cash instead of card to help out our local small businesses :) Card is accepted, but cash is preferred. Thank you, Ken! :) read more

Okay...you can't judge a book by it's cover! Once you get inside and past the reception area you will feel like you are in an exotic place. In Step is pretty, and clean, professional, calming, friendly. I looked high and low for a good place in Whittier and I saw that this place has good reviews. Now I know that people weren't kidding! I got the foot reflexology and whole body message, my therapist knew exactly what she was doing, so now after months of feeling like crap, I feel wonderful! I definitely will be going back and I will definitely tell my friends. read more

First time here and it was great. The receptionist does a great job at communicating with customers. The masseuse I got did a great job on my back. She communicated with me during the session at the right times. Awesome place, relieved my tense muscles. read more

This place is a nice local spot to get a massage. It's clean and parking availability is great. I come here every chance I get and would definitely recommend. read more

Place is great, competitive pricing, great service, overall great experience. Can't recommend this place enough.

I have been coming to In Step Massage for several years and if I could give more then five stars I would. Its very clean and has great ventilation with a soft fragrance aroma and relaxing melodies the room is dimmed with soft red lights that set the perfect atmosphere. I always have the deep massage and I'm never disappointed they have many excellent therapist all are strong enough to work various massages as needed. The techniques they use are more sophisticated then most other places I had tried before coming here. If your looking for the best in the LA area you will not be disappointed, I highly recommend it! read more

This is my third time visiting in step massage. They are very friendly! Receptionist is always very nice and understood exactly the kind of massage I needed. They have great prices and if you pay cash there is a discount. The last time I went with my daughter she had a knot in her lower back and couldn't even move. We came in we let them know what was going on. My daughter was very nervous but they allowed us to be in the same room which made her feel very comfortable. A day later my daughter was up and walking back to work. I would definitely recommend to all my friends and family. read more

This is my girlfriend's and my new favorite message spot! Ken and Tiffany gave us one of the best messages we ever had. For the price it's really worth it they have amazing cash deal, for the both us we spent $80 for an hour. Honestly I don't think you will find a better deal with such a friendly staff. read more

decent combo massage for $45 dollars. i got a foot + back massage and the masseuse was not very rough with her technique which made the experience just okay for me. thankfully the facility is clean but the only privacy you get is a curtain separating you from the other customers. personally the noise level was a little distracting for me. i would have preferred actual rooms. nevertheless their customer service was friendly and i would come back. read more

I've never been chased down for a tip. TIPS are not necessary. I told them I would go to the car to get my wallet and I had to drive to the nearest CHASE for cash. The receptionist chased me down and said "you said you were going to get your wallet? What's the problem? I asked her if a tip was necessary and she said it was. A TIP is not necessary. I work in the service industry and I go above and beyond for clientele but I NEVER expect a tip! Nonetheless I did tip with my debit card when they mentioned it after they hated me down. read more

Quiet, Dark and soft music playing. Looked clean and smelled nice as well. They take walk ins but appointments are sometimes advised so they can attend you faster. Credit/Debt and Cash! I walked in and they seemed sweet and friendly. They asked if we wanted our own room or same room. We asked for same room. Typical get undressed type of place knocked and asked if we were ready. I love that she asked me if HARD was okay or MEDIUM obviously I had horrible back knots that needed some taming so I said hard and it was indeed rough but amazing at the same time! Trust when I say it is such a great place here! The parking is in the back as well they give you water before or after. Definitely coming here again! read more

Balancing Massage - Massage Near Me - Whittier, California

This spot is a hole in the wall gem! Seriously. We got our whole family coming here now. If you like a massage where you take off your shirt this is not the place. They massage you over your clothes. Which isn't my favorite but they still do an awesome job. Everyone gets massaged in one large room. Which isn't my favorite either. But for their prices I'll take it. Tip graciously. All their employees are great. And it's very clean. read more

Would have given a 5 but I was cold during the massage and it wasn't as quiet as Glen Ivy. The message itself was one of the best I've experienced. read more

Ummmmm YES AND YES!! if you're looking for a 20 dollar (cash price) foot massage this is your place! Look it's no Burke Williams but let me tell you when I say you definitely get a great massage for that price. After a busy weekend on my feet and two amusement parks, I absolutely needed a massage. I mean, the lady got points in my foot and knots in my shoulders I never even knew I had! Omg so amazing! They give you a stamp card also for those who come regularly, which I will by the way. If You want a great massage for a great price, come here. Don't forget to tip! ;) read more

I've been coming here for years and I leave happy every time! Today we are celebrated my mother's birthday and she had the Swedish massage with hot stones. She says it takes the massage to another level. Thank you instep for helping me celebrate my mother on her birthday! read more

Balancing Massage - Instep lobby - Massage Near Me - Whittier, California

Excellent and amazing massage! I came here after seeing the reviews and decided to it a try. I got the $45 combo of 30 min feet and 40 min Swedish oil massage and it felt so good. Just the right amount of pressure and not too hard where you come out hurting. I would definitely recommend this place for your tired feet and tensed back. read more

I booked a couples massage for me and my bf based off of all these good yelp reviews and idk if it was just our massage therapists but that was not even a massage. I literally just got an elbow rub down the back the whole "massage". I wanted them to actually work out some knots but all I got was her using her elbow literally the whole time and same for my boyfriend. Very disappointed and a waste of $50. read more

Wow..I must say this place is amazing!!! So affordable and very clean...I feel like a million bucks and will be coming back as a regular...Deffinaty recommend!!! read more

Tina and May are wonderful, they hit the exact tender spots with the appropriate pressure. OmG i feel great! Highly recommend the place ask for them. read more

My first time coming here today for my bfs bday and I did not enjoy my massage. I did the combo 30 min foot and 30 min body massage. If your coming here BRING cash or you will be charged an extra $5 dollars to use your card. They say it's a "cash discount" which I think is pretty stupid. They only charge $1 for debit at most places. The foot massage was good but the full body WASNT the best. The only good think was the hot rocks. I thought it was weird that my bf and I got both opposite sex masseuse. The guy I got kept massaging mostly my butt and lower back during the body massage. I had tension in my shoulders and he felt them and didn't really massage them or take my knots out. I thought he was going to go back to them Bc he switched it up from my Lower back to my shoulders, he also massaged my neck tooo hard I had to say ouch for him to be gentler but honestly I DONT feel relaxed and I still have tension in my shoulder. Also there was a loud man grunting a couple of times which was disruptive and disturbing. read more

Tried the 1 hour foot massage on my first visit and fell in love. The price was just right for the massage I got. On my next visit I decided to get the 90 minute body massage and I wasn't too impressed. I've been back a few more times since then and I always get the 1 hour foot massage. They do all kinds of stretches to your arms and legs, so if you are not into that or have injuries, do yourself a favor and let them know. Their technique isn't the best as they do some of that "slap, slap," moves, but for the price what did you expect? But it does the job somehow. Also, the full body massages are on tables that are sectioned off - good privacy. On the other hand, the foot massages take place in one large room as shown in some of the pictures. However, the room is dark and after the first few minutes they put a towel over your eyes so you won't see anything if you try to peek. All their towels and sheets are if good quality compared to some other massage businesses I have tried. On my next visit I will be sure to ask my masseuse NOT to use her elbows on the tight knots on my back, ouch! Aside from that, thank you to the staff that always make me feel refreshed! read more

I recommend this place and for their prices I give them five stars . I did a walk in and they quickly took me in for a 90 minute body and foot massage. I requested a strong masseuse and the front lady did exactly that . I have nothing but good things to say about the location and it's masseuse. read more

It was a very welcoming experience. We did the couples massage with the foot reflexology and hot stone with aromatherapy package. We will definitely return again. Great pricing and friendly. Very soothing and relaxing ambience. Front desk was also friendly, professional, and accommodating. read more

I've been coming to this spot for over a year now it's amazing always but I went Friday because i have a really bad back spasm i wish i caught my guys name because when i left my back felt 1000 times better! Thank you to all the staff foot being so amazing read more

Great location. I've been coming here for about a year now. Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and they always give me an appointment right away. The theraposts always listen to my requests and do their best to relieve areas of stress. I have had a variety of services done, full body, feet and back. I have been happy with all the services. read more

first time here. normally go to LA thought I would try something local. worth it. I had Ada or Ida she was amazing and very strong..

I had an amazing massage at InStep Massage in Whittier. The 60 minute combo massage was fantastic. They started with soaking my feet in warm water while massaging my head and upper body and then gave me a foot spa. Next I went into the private room while they used the essential oil along with hot stones. I will definitely be coming back. read more

What an amazing, hidden gem! I heard of this place from a coworker so I decided to try it when I woke up with lower back pain. I called and was able to get an appointment within that hour! Found specials listed here on Yelp; make sure you bring cash to get a better deal. I got the #10-deep tissue massage with hot stones, aromatherapy, and menthol. My pain has been gone ever since. Will definitely go back, especially with their affordable prices! read more

Wow I just had a great experience here today. And I walked in the receptionist was very friendly and helpful to recommend the package to me as I had sour shoulders and backache. She led me to a small room and the light was dim with soft music which make me really relaxing. Then the therapist came in and asked me how hard I would like be massaged. I spent an hour and half enjoying the massage and even fell asleep for a while. The therapist know me I had a backache so she put more effort with massage oil on my back which I felt she really cares about customers. I have to mention the hot stone massage was awesome and I like it most! Really relaxing like falling into heaven. The receptionist brought me water and was very friendly to say goodbye to me when I was about to leave. Everyone here is nice and I will definitely come back again even I don't live nearby. read more

This was an amazing experience with very professional massage service. This location is extremely clean and pleasant. I normally like my massage strong, and the lady that worked me was strong like bull. The hot stone was good, but I felt the experience was very short. That's the only negative opinion I could give this place. I would highly recommend this to anyone, but I suggest checking Groupon socials to get a deal on pricing. I will be coming back in the near future to do the CBD oil massage! read more

I'll give it 2 stars based off the great price. I love $20 foot massages I've been to several places I know the drill. Your in a large room with a bunch of people... not a big deal to me. I massage it self was probably the worse massage I've ever gotten, he hardly put any pressure at all. My 4 yr old has definitely done a better massage than that. They take so many breaks in between so in reality 1 hr is like 45 min and a 45 min massage is like 30 min. Location is super sketch lots of druggies out in the parking lot so it's really hard to fully relax because my mind was thinking of them coming inside read more
