I recently had a sports massage from him, and it was fantastic in that "hurts so good!" kind of way. I was definitely overdo for something like that, and he did a great job alleviating some of the soreness and kinks that I had going. I crossfit and am currently training for a half marathon, and he catered to those things perfectly. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to the anatomy of the body, which is evident not only through conversation with him but throughout the massage as he finds areas that need more work than others, are to tight, or are problem areas for you. I highly recommend Greg for massages of all kinds, and specifically if you are an athlete of any kind. I look forward to enjoying a relaxing Swedish from him soon!

I just "won" the lottery that allows me to run the 2013 Houston Marathon. I've done this before so I know the score - I'll need someone to unknot my body-in-training after those long weekend runs in the fall and winter. In pursuit of a solution (using Massage Envy is a bit like playing Russian Roulette here) I started to "audition" massage therapists. I first looked for a convenient location near where I work in the Galleria Area and found that the first Google search result for "Houston massage" was Houston Massage by Sonya. I inferred from her website that at least she knew what she was talking about and scheduled an appointment via her online tool. I was more than pleased when, two days later, she got her hands on me. In the big scheme of things for a 53-year-old, I'm in pretty good shape, but she immediately sensed and understood where my trouble areas were (a minor misalignment of the pelvic girdle and somewhat shortened deltoids) and modified her approach accordingly. The massage was simultaneously effective and pleasurable, a result that more often than not does not occur when the therapist is working with deep tissue. I definitely know who my go-to-girl is going to be when my Marathon training starts in earnest. P.S. You might want to discover for yourself why she is known as the "Goddess of the glutes..." Note: As of the date of this review (10-Jul-2012), the map showing the location in Yelp is incorrect. She is located on the Southbound access road of the West 610 loop between San Felipe and Westheimer. The visitor parking is free there.

So I booked a lymphatic massage just to try her out--man, I wish I would've found her when I was fresh from surgery because she was SO gentle!! Not over rough at all!! I would HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely be booking for my future body contouring sessions. Her studio was small but nice and intimate--perfect for one on one sessions. I would recommend some window tint or some dark drapes to make the atmosphere a bit more relaxing but since we mostly talked it was fine. The massage bed was extremely comfy and everything smelled great and looked and felt clean. Very nice environment.

Perspire is one of Houston's newer infrared sauna studios located just off of the corner of…read moreWashington Ave and Shepherd. The company actually has multiple locations all across the United States but this is their first Houston location. Inside they have a total of 8 suites with room 3 being their largest and fit for ADA accommodation. Each private room has a spacious glass sided sauna with temperature and time control, towels, and a TV. Temperature settings go up to 175F but I personally like to leave it around 165F. Sessions last for 40 minutes, controlled by the guest. Red light therapy is included with every session for free which is a nice addition since many studios charge for this as an add-on. Chromotherapy (colored lights) is also included for free. While the TV is available, it is limited to a few preset generic company meditation or jazz music videos unless you have a membership, when they will let you change it to a streaming service. My room was very clean and the sauna itself felt large, enough to easily spread out. Sounds like a great experience, right? Why three stars then? There are no showers or changing facilities. There is only one unisex restroom for the entire studio with absolutely no counter space. After profusely sweating for close to an hour, there is nothing better than a cold shower and clean, dry set of clothes but unfortunately this is not possible. Sure, guests could easily change in their own private sauna room, at least into some fresh clothes, but this is really a downfall of the studio. A couple of operational notes: a water bottle refilling station is available at the front (definitely bring a large bottle!), parking is free in the attached garage however be sure to register your car with the QRC and use the promo code to get free parking. I imagine that they would quickly ticket and/or tow. Scheduling online is super easy through their website. Finally, their membership rates are lower (just $79 for 4 visits a month) than some of the other sauna studios that I have seen in the area so that is definitely a draw if you're willing to drive home sweaty. New guests can try a session for just $20. Overall, sauna studios are an experience that I really enjoy so I might consider purchasing a very basic membership since it is pretty inexpensive, can easily be paused, and credits roll over month to month, however I am definitely disappointed in the lack of showers and changing facilities.

I was introduced to infrared sauna by a good friend of mine. She shared one of her sessions with me…read morelast summer, and afterwards, I decided to purchase a membership for 2x/month for $59. Sad to say, but I haven't quite used all the sessions since. They do roll over, but I believe 2 earned in that month expire every 90 days. You can also pause membership for about 2 months if you need to use up your sessions if you plan to cancel. You lose it if you don't use it. I like the idea of the private rooms with a glass-framed sauna. You can watch Netflix or other streaming or listen to meditative/relaxing music to pass the 40 minutes. They never rush you, even if you may be running late. In the room, you have the availability to change the temperature. Not sure what it goes up to, but I've seen 170 degrees. I usually do about 150-160 degrees. Sometimes mid 160s. Since it's infrared, it gets progressively hot. Your internal body temperature slowly builds up. You can also change the settings for relaxation, detox, energy, etc. There's a body, face and floor towel for you. At the end, there's a cool, wet eucalyptus face towel for you to cool off. Wear loose clothing after cause you'll continue to sweat after your session. It's recommended to hydrate prior plus have a small meal. I agree cause the heat can make you feel a little lightheaded. I bring a water bottle with me and sometimes fill it with Liquid IV. Drop your towels at the towel drop. The staff is friendly. You can book a session online or by phone. If you need to cancel, you have to call. There's a parking garage which you can park in using the code to get 2 free hours. You didn't always have to scan the QR code to pay, but that has since changed. I'm glad Perspire customers get free parking with the code. The hours are deceiving when you look on Yelp or do a Google search. They are actually open at 9 am on Saturday, not 8 am. Got there early once Saturday, and the door was still locked. If your session is at 9:05 am on the weekend, just know they open at 9 am. Weekdays you can start as early as 7 am and do evening ones past 8 pm. It's pretty relaxing. I've done it in the mornings and evenings. It does either boost your day or help you sleep at night. There's a bigger suite that could be used for couples, I think. Or maybe a mini ladies detox party for a small group of 3? Not sure how many can fit in it or if that's allowed, but it is bigger than the other 7 suits. They also sell some merch and juices. If you're into saunas, I recommend this infrared sauna. I use my apartment's gym, so this is nice to have. I like that it's less than 10 minutes from me. It's also great after a long day at work.
