First of all I have had many spa services over the years and Athena Health Club and Day Spa in Brentwood ,TN more than met my expectations. I went several months ago. It is one of the few where you can be scheduled on Sundays and Mondays and early evenings, besides the regular Tuesday -Saturday hours. The spa is open to males and females but I believe the gym(which is state of the art) and pool area are women only, which is a big plus for me. It is nice because you can also order food in advance, which makes for a very pleasant day especially if you come with a group like I have done. The service providers are very nice and professional. I have had massages with Joni and facials with the woman that works on Sundays ,I think her name is Cindy, she even gave me a courtesy hand and foot service they offer. The experience was very relaxing and nuturing. The spa providers I have had seem to be very knowledgeable about massage and skin care. I have referred some friends from out of town to them(for a fun girls weekend) (within walking distance,there are several places to spend the night)and I will definitely go back. \r
The only con was there was a little mix up on the scheduling but the aesthetician worked it out for me. Sometimes they seem a little unorganized or they seem to have a break down in communication, I 'm not sure, but it all got worked out and I have always had a wonderful time there. It is so peaceful I felt like I had been on a mini-vacation! I would highly recommend Athena for a little R&R; when you need a little special attention. \r
Call them for a tour and information packet. I am not a member at this time due to my budget.
Pros: Ambience, parking , variety of services offered, 98%of staff is very accomodating
Cons: sometimes a breakdown in communication with scheduling/ they will make it right, sometimes the steam room is closed down due to a malfunction.
