The price was the cheapest that we have seen, facilities were good, and staff were fantastic. A few quotes from us after our massage: "That may have been the best massage that I have ever had!" "That was the massage I didn't know I needed." "All of the other masseuse's we've had must have been doing it wrong." We received a deep tissue massage and they did a great job sharing tips and stretches with us, providing the right focus and pressure, and really hitting the spots that needed attention. We are looking forward to our next visit!

My boyfriend and I decided to come here on our anniversary last year. With how taxing both of our jobs are on ourselves, we opted for the hot tub session, specifically the Water Room. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff who were both extremely friendly and polite. They showed us to the spa room, gave us the instructions (shower prior to getting into the hot tub, how to work the shower/steam room, how to work the tub) and let us be for our hour time. Because it was our anniversary, we also requested the sparkling cider and rose petals...I'm so glad we did. It really was the most perfect time and so relaxing. They flash/dim the lights momentarily when you have about ten minutes left, which is a nice touch as we had put our phones away to be in the moment. We absolutely want to go back and plan to go many times moving forward. Thank you Elements for the amazing time!

But based on the massages I have been getting there for years this place is amazing. The couple that works here doesnt speak too much English but honestly who cares! their incredible massages deliver. The chair massage is a must and their hot stone massage at the end melts your stress away from the day. They also give great leg massages as well on their comfy couches. Im giving 4 stars because one of the beds(the bed on the left) was a little too hard but the other one is pretty comfortable:) I've gotten massages that were too intense that had left me too sore the next day and ones that have been too light that didn't take away the knots in my back. This couple gives massages that are the perfect intensity. I've also gone to much more expensive places that have been good but this place I continually go back to cause it's the best!

I can't comment on The Massage School as a massage school, but I can comment on their massage…read moreclinic. I went to the massage school clinic for the first time this past Sunday. Twenty-five (25) dollars gets you an hour long massage by one of the students. The student (Jamie) giving my massage provided me with the best massage I've ever had, which was a bit shocking, since I'm used to paying over a hundred dollars for a comparable amount of time on the table at a Spa. She was able to identify tight or painful points in my back with uncanny accuracy and did a fantastic job of fixing them. I also appreciate the amount of attention paid to my legs. As an athlete who focuses on strength skills and explosive movements, I thoroughly abuse the muscles of my legs. It was refreshing to have a masseuse who understood that. The main drawback is the limited openings and hours, but since the clinic exists primarily to provide students with an opportunity to practice, this is understandable. Another point to note is that the massage takes place in a large room with several other tables set up. The staff does an excellent job maintain your privacy, If you're uncomfortable with being largely unclothed around a large number of strangers, this should be a consideration.
