Second time going to Renewing Spa, first was really good so wanted to make sure that it will be my go to place... and it will be! You can't find better price in the city for a real massage! Tomy took care of me today and it was great! They're very polite and you can you chose how you want to pay, they even have an atm machine inside. It's nothing fancy, but they deliver the job perfectly! I'm so happy I found my "massage" place in NYC! read more

This is hands down the best massage place in the area. I have been to several others and the quality of the massage is unbeatable. I would recommend Jay but from my experience so far they are all excellent! So if you're looking for a great massage definitely go there. The rates for the massage are also so affordable! read more

Pretty solid massage at a great price. You can't beat $39 for a full 60 mins (70 with online coupon). None of this 'clinical hour' bullshit!

Mac was my masseuse for an hour of bodywork today. He went to town on my shoulders and arms upon my request. The massage felt more like a workout but I know i will reap its effects tomorrow. Can't wait read more

I was super excited when I saw this place on 8th Avenue. The location is convenient, and the space is very nicely decorated. It's a cheap massage place, so keep that in mind. You're getting more than what you pay for, but if you want some upscale massage, this is not the place for you. I had a wonderful massage from Jenny. She was friendly, professional, and very thorough. I have a lot of knots in my back and shoulder that are tough to get out (I leave a lot of massage places feeling the same as I did when I came in) but she did it. The massage very clearly targeted my needs, and was not a generic autopilot massage. I did the check in deal for a free extra fifteen minutes on top of the hour massage. So 75 minutes for $38.95 + tip, which is a wonderful deal. I will definitely be returning. read more

I had a one hour massage here yesterday and I think they worked out tension I've carried in my body since birth. Depending on where you go, your time can be mostly wasted on new agey crystal type stuff - my aura is fine, I want to be punched in the back for an hour straight, and this place totally delivered on everything from extremely kind and friendly staff, to way below average price, to actually having someone walk up and down my back. I'm going to make it a habit! read more

After around 8 years with my massage therapist, he dumped me after a two year hiatus during Covid. So, I decided to go back to the original source where I found him (Renew on 8th Street), after multiple attempts to find a good deep-tissue massage locally where I live ( Stamford, CT.). During the search, I found out that Leo opened another place in Chelsea which is much more convenient for me. There I found Paul. I am so happy with him, especially since I thought I could never adequately replace my original therapist. Paul really knows how to give a GREAT deep tissue massage. He uses techniques I had never felt before. Somehow, he manages to roll his arm across tissue at the same time as using his elbow to work joints and connective tissue. The overall sensation is strong but blissful. He has impeccable judgement on amount of pressure and is VERY communicative when he suspects there might me an issue. He listens and watches very closely. I did not anticipate that loosing my long-time therapist would actually work out better for me in the long run (sorry James - but you dissed me!). Leo -- thank you again for finding me a fantastic Massage Therapist. You are a credit to your profession, as is Paul!! read more

What a GREAT experience! I was there couple days ago amidst the snow storm evening, was greeted by a friendly lady the front desk, very soft spoken and courteous. The place was small but very clean and very quite, I waited for five mins top before being usherd to a semi private room ,,( just curtain no door ). My first time there and had requested Jay to be my masseuse, boy he gave me the BEST massage ever!, he was a bit too strong for me but he worked my muscles out. He was very experience, friendly and attentive. I would recommend this great value spa to anyone, and I will go back again soon. I suggest to call for appointment as this small place can get really busy. read more

They were a good massage place thst i regularly come to but lately not sure what has changed but they autmatically give deep tissue massages for every visit and it is very painful. At first I thought that they probably knew what they were doing and this was part of their technique but when they took out the hot stones for that part of the massage and they were basically just scrubbing my skin rapidly with the large stone I knew something was off. Perhaps new management thought painful massages were the way to go now? Specify what type of massage you want beforehand. I now need recovery from my massage as all my back muscles are even more sore than I started and parts are bruised. read more

Man is this place the definition of bang for your buck. I had the absolute worst neck and back pain from who knows what and was in desperate need of a massage. I'm not exactly a massage girl, as in I'm ticklish and don't like it when the masseuse's goal is to make you feel like your body got run over by a car. However, a good massage once in awhile is definitely needed. I called and made a massage for day of, they open strangely late, but gonna not think about it. Everyone was super nice and friendly. However, I requested a girl for my massage and after the body massage was done, my girl left and a guy came and did my foot massage. It was fine, but I was kinda confused because their English wasn't so great and not to be picky/prude but would have preferred a girl. I have to say that both of them were really good and their job, so having a girl is just my personal preference. The other thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars is thinness of the walls, as in I could hear very distinct groans from a guy suffering from...I'm not even sure what to call it...a bad back? a lot of pain? So if you don't mind overhearing other people's massages and if a good old regular massage is what you're looking for, I would highly recommend this place! read more

My cousin and I were visiting the city.. while having dinner we were talking about how we wished there were one of those massage places like there are in Cali. We had walked everywhere and just needed a good foot massage without all the fancy stuff. Then I found this place.. I must say we weren't expecting much but surprisingly when our Taxi dropped us off and we were buzzed in from one door to the other. The owner greeted us right away and he was nice. We didn't get an iffy vibe and everything seemed legit! Lol.. We had two ladies that worked on us and we both were so amazed at how good they were! She put the right amount of pressure and seem to know where all our knots were! They were the best! We had a pleasant experience there. And we would know because we've been to dozens and dozens of foot massage places in Cali! I will definitely be back when I'm here in this city! read more

Renewing Spa - Awesome cousins couple massage! :) - Massage Near Me - New York, New York

If you're looking for a nice, quiet, beautiful spa, this isn't your place. But it's only $39/hr and gets the job done. Renewing Spa is on the second floor of an old apartment. The whole place is kind of cramped, from the waiting area (where someone was getting their feet worked on) to inside the rooms (where there's little room for the masseur to walk around). They have a laundry basket under the massage table for you to put your clothes in. My friend and I wanted separate rooms, but they only had a curtain-partitioned room available. We booked an appointment at 3:30pm for 4:30pm on a Saturday. The receptionist lady was very nice. Their website lists hour-long body work and foot reflexology for $39 and $27, respectively, but you can do shorter sessions as well. I did the hour long body work. They don't ask you if you have any requests or problem areas or any such things beforehand. The massage itself though was enjoyable and relaxing. The hour flew by, and I was bummed when it was up. Was just hoping it'd wow me a little more. Overall a positive experience. read more

Great massage, clean studio and great prices. Vety friendly and professional masseuses. Would recommend!

Stumbled across them last night. Was very pleased, the place it self was a bit shabby BUT the service was very good. The lady knew exactly what she was doing, pressure was just right. We came in at 9:30 and had massage until midnight. Price is decent. Will be coming back. 4 stars just because of the run down, scary looking facility read more

Came with a friend and we both had a good massage here. The staff are very nice and unlike some other Asian places, there is no difficulty communicating with them at all. With the current promotion we got 1 hour back massage with free 15min foot below $40 before tax and tip! I just wish they could target the specific positions on the feet more rather than just mostly rubbing the big areas, although I still sweat a little. The back massage was really good and better than what I expected; the strength, positions and tempo are all good, but it would be great if they can improve on the last bit of details (sometimes you just feel like there is a tidbit of something lacking at the finishing of each gesture that can elevate the experience -- either adding more strength to emphasize the ending of each gesture or taking on an adjacent spot). The Spa are located on the 2nd floor of a small building in Chelsea, which is close to my office and should be convenient for many people. It has simple decor and several rooms, with the space in each room separated by curtains -- not a problem for me at all. A big plus is that this place is very clean and tidy throughout. Overall, Renewing Spa is an example of nicely done pricing+service+atmosphere+location=loyal customers. I definitely felt renewed after the massage! read more

Legit! Where else can you get a 70 minute (including the free 10 minutes for the Yelp check-in offer) really good deep tissue massage for $39? The price point is insane. Even with a generous tip you're looking at $50. Well worth it for what you get. I have chronic back stiffness, particularly between my scapulae, and felt like a million bucks after my massage. Just don't be discouraged by the shady looking entrance! read more

Great massage. CiCi was wonderful. Hardworking, strong, and focused on problem areas. Highly recommend.

Don't let the buzz-in door scare you off!! For what it is, this place is great! Exceptional massage and it was only $40. It's not the quietest of places, but for this type of massage place, it's one of the better massages I've had in NYC. read more

A most welcome new neighbour in the Upper West Side. Courteous service, helpful staff, and excellent massages. The therapists asked for feedback about the pressure, but not too often, and seemed to adjust instinctively, medium for my husband and strong for me. Loved the addition of hot rocks at the end of the back work. Can't beat the price so we'll be back for more renewing. K read more

I've never been disappointed with my service here. Why pay $200 for a massage in NYC when you can feel relaxed for much less ? Just be sure to make a rezzie as sometimes there can be a long wait for walkins. Staff is extremely friendly. read more

I like this place . It's quiet and did a great job on my back. You guys the best. I will come bake again.

This was a great massage. I made an appointment three hours before with no issue. It cost $39 for 60 minutes, plus 10 more minutes for checking in. The spot was clean and professional. The massage was a dream; a bit too hard at first but then adjusted to my liking, with a focus on my back, shoulders, and neck, which were totally out of whack. The face massage at the end really clinched it. I would come back - so affordable I could do it once a month and on my way to the train to boot. read more

Was an amazing experience! Very clean and respectful! I will always come back here. One of the best massages in the city! Highly recommend!

I had one of the most amazing full body massages here tonight, done by Sofia ! She did such a wonderful job, I felt euphoric afterwards! The staff at the front desk, a man named Jay along with another woman (i didn't catch her name), were so kind with greeting me and ringing up my sale. I felt a very warm welcome here, and will definitely be back for more, and I'll recommend them to my friends as well ! And they're open until midnight !! read more

This was my first massage in years and I'm glad I chose Renewing Spa! Ben was fantastic. I did the hour bodywork massage and was worked from head to toe. It was comfortable, clean, and so relaxing. If you're looking for the lap of luxury, this isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for a great deal and walk out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated? Renewing Spa is the way to go. Ben was able to identify the areas of my back that needed the most work and was very thorough. I'm already thinking about my next appointment! read more

Great location. Friendly staff. Nice massage. Very affordable. What else can I ask? With this price, it exceeds my expectation. read more

Renewing Spa - Front desk - Massage Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for a foot massage after walking many miles throughout NYC. Only drawback is that the foot massage took place right near the front desk. Wish it was in a more private area. You hear the phone ringing and the chair wasn't that relaxing. There's also a bright light that radiates from the reception desk. The gentleman provided a good and deep massage. read more

This was THE BEST massage I've ever received in my lifetime! I can't believe I found this place! And what a great deal! My feet were killing me and I had severe knots in my shoulders. I got 30 minutes of upper body and then 30 minute foot massage. This was the most calculated massage I've ever had! He worked and worked on my problem areas! My son went also and did the same, and when we left, he said he felt so renewed and invigorated! Well worth every cent, and it made me actually WANT to tip! I will return, no doubt! What a hidden gem! read more

I was initially skeptical of the price, especially considering the Chelsea location. Sounded too good to be true. The venue isn't the Four Seasons, but it doesn't have to be. The "rooms" are still as private as they need to be, and the massage itself was fantastic. The masseuse did not hold back. I think I'm in love. I never thought I'd find a massage experience like this in manhattan, for this price, in this location. I'll be back every two weeks. Thanks Renewing Spa! read more

This place is absolutely fantastic and I am extremely difficult to please when it comes to deep tissue massage.The kind of massage that makes you shed tears, but feel great afterwards. I'll be back! read more

Incredible massages and customer service is great. The receptionist takes the time to know about the customers and addresses them by name. Really love this place, especially for a great affordable massage read more

Jay is literally NYC's best kept secret masseuse. He is absolutely incredible and beyond affordable. An hour massage comes with a free 15min foot massage... All for under $40. Which just makes you want to tip Jay all the better :) Run, don't walk! read more

This hurt more than deep tissue massage or any sport massage I have experienced. The Chinese tuina definitely do wonder to all my tight knots and ache all over my body. I enjoyed the body massage alot & it fixed my problem, just have to endure the pain during the massage, it's all worth it! The foot massage is good too but too bad the seats are located right by the entry so it is noisy and disturbing with people coming and going, the phone ringing frequently and the alarms going off in different rooms as their massage time is up. So I cannot totally relax while I was getting the foot massage. If you intend to do body and foot massage, tell them when you are making the reservation that you want the foot massage in the room as well right after your body massage so you won't have to sit outside. They get really busy on weekend, so call and make your reservation! read more

Great massage experience! Did the Yelp deal and got an extra 10 minutes! It included a nice face, head massage. They also had hot stones which were the perfect temperature, helping to warm you up. I also loved the foot massage. Being a runner, my feet need some delicate care. I had a great work-down of my feet. They are feeling nice and loved! Overall, the best massage deal in Manhattan! read more

Have been here many times. It's hit or miss. On this particular occasion it was a very big miss. Had a massage without the masseuse using her hands once. I was stepped on for 80% of the massage and then 20% of it she drove her elbow into odd spots of my body, which was extremely unpleasant. To make it an even worse experience, for some reason I was in a room with a complete stranger next to me getting a massage, there was no divider. My masseuse was talking to the other masseuse during my session and there was no divider between us. Very odd. Horrible and not going back. Couldn't even speak to a manager because when I paid another masseuse rang me up and she barely spoke English. Really confused as to why I was put in a room with a stranger and the curtain was pulled back. read more

Wow! This was an unexpected pleasure. A really top notch deep tissue massage and a warm and professional atmosphere. Peter was great and Luna too. My partner and I shared a room...nice. Will return! read more

Came here with my boyfriend while on a quick trip to NY. This place is AMAZING! Read reviews before I came- definitely don't come for a spa-type ambiance bit this has been top 3 on my list of best massages. They worked out every kink. I'm coming back to NY just to get another massage here! LOVE IT! read more

Recommended by a friend, we had a great deep tissue massage at Renewing Spa. The two of us for the hour plus tip and tax amounted to $100 (if you pay cash they won't charge you tax). The whole body massage is no joke. I'm actually still sore a day later. From your temples to your toes, my masseuse covered all the key points. We called 30 minutes ahead for an appointment at 1:45pm no problem. When we left, they had a couple guests waiting in the lobby. In fact, two incoming guests weren't able to be scheduled for the rest of the day. Luckily we got there when we did! read more

If you're not in the mood to spend $200+ on a spa day and just need someone to work out all the knots in your back, Renewing Spa is your place. I've been to Renewing Spa twice now and they definitely get the job done! It seems a little sketchy when you first arrive, but if you just want to get in and out with a loose neck/back I'd highly recommend. read more

Came here yesterday and got 90 minute massage. It was worth the money and a great experience. Bring cash or you pay little over 5 dollars extra to pay on card. read more
