I tried Massage Envy with one of their promotional offers when they first opened. The prices were great, so I went ahead and signed up. I did not feel pressured to join AT ALL. Since massages end at the same time, I've checked out with several people who have come in for the first time. I was not pressured to join and haven't seen anyone pressured.
Since there are so many therapists, I've bounced around until I've found the ones that I like. Some are better than others, but I've found that to be true everywhere. I have problems with spasms in my lower back and I've found therapists there that have been a God send when my back fritzes out.
Over the years, I've been to Marma, Pleasant Road, Club H and Roop in Hoboken and the massages I've had at Massage Envy are just as good or better. The big difference is the price! I can now afford to get a massage on a regular basis. I also haven't had a problem getting appointments at Massage Envy - even at the last minute.
They are worth checking out. At the least, you'll get a massage for a great price. And if you don't like it, you don't have to go back! :-)
