Found GSS body works through a Groupon. Scheduling was super easy. Glenn did a great job. I'll be back.
Groupon Scam! Received a Groupon as a gift and scheduled an appointment. Glenn cancelled last minute stating he was sick. We rescheduled and right before my appointment he said he forgot he had concert that night. How can you run a business if you don’t know your schedule? Now my Groupon is expired and I have to try and get money back since no services were done.
I’ve been seeing Glenn for the last 3 or so years now and he never fails to leave me feeling completely relaxed and melts all of my knots away. His prices are more than fair I don’t know of anyone else providing such a lengthy, quality massage for his pricing. Absolutely amazing I thank you Glenn!
I have been to Glenn twice and I love his personality and his techniques to make me relax (which I never do). He also recognizes when something is tight and might ache and is spot on. I also like someone who is friendly but doesn’t over power you with conversation during the massage. I also do not like the complete quiet massage, which he also doesn’t do. So, he is perfect for me. I’m going back in 3 weeks. Believe everyone should have a regular massage. Good for both mental and physical health.
The location is.... just not very welcoming. A piece of paper with the suite number written in marker, taped to the door. Big suite with empty rooms and it was all dark. Honestly should have left when I saw the paper with marker writing on it. We did a short consult prior to starting and I asked for what typically works and helps me (I have a lot of chronic pain). When I was getting ready I noticed the sheet in the head rest was damp. Unfortunately the timing of finding this was bad because I had already gotten undressed and laid down. Couldn't really ask him to change it. No music on until after he came back in and was walking around. I gave feedback during the massage and he told me that he wouldn't do anything different because his preferred techniques were better. It was pretty chilly and I was only given a sheet no blanket. Felt pretty uncomfortable. Once we got started his hands were freezing cold, he was making mouth noise the whole time, and at one point was standing on the table without warning. He was on the table far too often for my liking. For multiple days after, my muscles felt bruised and swollen. My chronic pain had increased after this, and I've been living in a triggered pain response due to the physical trauma to my muscles in my back and shoulders. I've done MANY deep tissue massages in my life and have never once had this happen. He did not do deep tissue, nor sure what it was. I will never be returning after this experience.
This was the BEST massage I have had in a long time. Glenn is skiled in various massage modalities as well as nutrition. His soft spoken manner made the experience relaxing. You can tell he has a passion for his craft, and I definitely will return. His prices are the most reasonable, and his schedule is very accommodating...ask about his "specials"!
I have been a client of Glenn for at least a decade, and can unequivocally say that he gives the finest massage I have ever received, bar none. He works very hard to accommodate my often difficult, and limited, schedule. I have referred many friends and colleagues to him, a number of which have become his regular clients as well.
Very accommodating and easy to schedule. Have been going to see Glenn for over a year. He has helped me with my hips and lower back problems. I won't be looking for any other MT!
I booked an appointment and was told I couldn't use my Groupon because he was limited to how many he could accept. I wound up paying for the massage, but he offered another date to use the Groupon. When I showed up for the appointment, he was very rude and complained and said he was unable to honor the scheduled appt. He also went on about not being able to keep track of the Groupon appointments. Did not even apologize or offer another appointment. Very unprofessional and disappointing. I do not recommend his services!!
Glenn offers a outstanding Theraputic Massage at a very reasonable price. He is personable and skilled as a massage therapist. I am glad I found him. There is no need for me to look elsewhere for a quality massage.
