I've been a bad girl... and today I got EXACTLY what I deserved. Let me explain…read more I just had a therapeutic massage at Tyme Day Spa with Gregory, and when I tell you my body NEEDED this?! For the last five weeks, I've been consistently working out -- Pilates, weight training, handstand practice, middle-split training, StairMaster, and everything in between -- while completely neglecting the part where I'm supposed to stop and actually take care of the muscles doing all this work. So yes... I deserved every bit of what happened on that massage table today. But that's actually not why I'm leaving this review. I'm leaving this review because Gregory was EXCELLENT. From the moment he started, I could tell he had actually read my intake form. I had circled the areas bothering me, and not only did he immediately address those areas, he circled back to them three different times throughout my massage. He listened to me. He paid attention to my body. And most importantly for me -- he took charge. That matters to me more than people probably realize. When I'm receiving a service, I want to be able to take my brain out, sit it on the counter, and just be the client. I spend enough of my life being the CEO, the business owner, the professional, and the person making decisions. When I'm paying another professional, I want to be able to relax knowing, You've got me. Gregory had me. He started with my left trapezius, and BABY... The pressure was beyond what I expected, but somehow exactly what I needed. I'm someone who normally gets Thai or Ashiatsu massage. I'm accustomed to serious pressure -- people literally walking on my body and back -- so I'm not afraid of a deep massage. But today, I realized I didn't need someone's entire body weight or feet on me. I needed someone who could be extremely intentional and therapeutic with their hands. That's exactly what I got. And can we talk about the HANDS?! If you hold your phone all day, lift weights, or practice handstands, you probably know that soreness in the thick, meaty part of your palm. Both of mine were hurting. Gregory didn't just work on them -- he came back and worked on them AGAIN. Then when I turned onto my back, he took the headrest from the massage table and positioned it underneath my neck for support. I've NEVER had anyone do that. Pure genius. This was, hands down, the second-best massage I've ever had in my life. And that's saying A LOT. I'm very well traveled and have received massages all over the world, on almost every continent. My #1 is still the massage I received in Thailand last year. But Gregory came dangerously close to knocking Thailand out of the #1 spot today. The only thing separating the two is that in Thailand they climbed onto the table with me and put their knees in my back. But that was a Thai massage. Today was therapeutic massage, so we're comparing two completely different experiences. Gregory understood the assignment. He was professional, responsive to my body, attentive, and confident enough in what he was doing that I could stay completely grounded and allow him to do his job. I've experienced enough horrible massages to know when somebody REALLY knows what they're doing, and I appreciate this experience so much. This was my third or fourth visit to Tyme Day Spa. My first visit was about 3 1/2 years ago, and I've watched this place continue to grow. I love the ambiance, the music, and all of the new additions. They've even added refreshments and drinks, which was such a nice touch. Normally, I've treated massages like a birthday tradition and would come around December. Yeah... we're not doing that anymore. Five weeks of training without taking care of my muscles taught me my lesson. My body needs a regular routine of Gregory at this point. I'll be back within the next couple of weeks for a sports massage AND a Thai massage because now I want to experience everything they're offering. If you haven't booked with Time Day Spa, I need you to do that like... RIGHT right now. Your body deserves it. Your mind deserves it. Your time deserves it. Your nervous system deserves it. And ladies, don't be afraid to book a male massage therapist. Gregory knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Great job, Gregory.

I truly love them both. The moment you walk in, everything feels calm, grounded, and completely zen. Over the past year, I've seen several different massage therapists -- not because I didn't love any of them, but because I genuinely wanted to experience them all. Every single one was wonderful. But after happily "researching," I've officially settled on my absolute favorite... Samantha! Now I book with Samantha every time for the most heavenly 80-minute massage, followed by 30 perfectly peaceful minutes in their sauna. It's become my little monthly ritual, and I look forward to it every visit. The pressure, the ambiance, the warmth -- it's always just right. Already counting down to my next appointment.

I hoped right on it. Best decision of January! It's small but cut and quaint. You won't get slippers and a robe as you change in the room, but I did get a dedicated masseur that focused on my personal needs. I carry a lot of tension in my back. So, as a Plus sized girly, that's where my focus needed to be, and he obliged. I always get a deep tissue. It's what helps me the most, but if Swedish is your thing, go for it. The tables are not electronic, but there was a heating pad. I was advised the tables go up to 300 lbs. They seemed ok, but I chose not to flip over; super cautious! You can enhance your session with aroma therapy if you wish. I also asked about the oil used, which is Lavender scented. You can also bring your own. After the session, you're given a hot towel and water to hydrate. It was really relaxing and a perfect simple massage. I would definitely give them a try.

For context, I'm a deep tissue girlie. Just in Charlotte I've been to the Ballantyne Hotel Spa, Mood House, the JW Marriott, Day Break, Nature's Spa, Hand & Stone, Zen, Massage Envy etc. I know and crave a good deep tissue massage. At check-in I was told the "deep tissue" add-on only meant ~10 or 15 minutes (out of 80) of deeper pressure and the rest would be Swedish. Fine, but I had a Swedish just three weeks ago and I wouldn't have booked if I knew this was the case. However, I felt no pressure at all and the experience translated more to a $190 unscented body lotion experience, not a massage. Furthermore, the $15 eye rejuvenation add-on was one packet of eye masks I was told to use at home, which genuinely made me question - why? The space itself is gorgeous and I really did consider a membership before today, but unfortunately I left very underwhelmed and should have booked elsewhere.
