Massage Therapy

Relax with a therapeutic Swedish or deep tissue massage from one of our expert massage therapists. Whether you’re a member or haven’t joined yet, you can come clear your mind and restore balance to your body with 60 and 90 minute options. Packages are available to cover your stress management for months to come!

Types of Massage

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage therapy is what comes to mind when most people think about massage. The primary goal of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body, increase the level of oxygen in the blood, decrease muscle toxins, and improve circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle. It's ideal for focusing on chronic aches and pains. It will help to relieve contracted areas, such as a stiff neck, tense shoulders, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and tension headaches.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massages ease tension, relax muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. The direct heat of the stones loosens muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper, tense layers. Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience.

Prenatal Massages

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a great complementary choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and swelling.

Exergame Changes Fitness for Kids & Adults

Each module offers awesome benefits that will help anyone from athletes, to seniors, those with special needs, and the average weekend warrior to improve quickness, coordination, strength, memory, agility, endurance, and more. Watch our special segment on NBC to see Exergame in action. 

Water Rower VGS

Escape into a variety of immersive worlds aboard the Water Rower VGS. Accompanied with your first mate, an Oculus VR headset, you'll explore highly-designed CGI environments while working through a rowing course or competing against others online. Rowing is one of the most effective forms of cardio, and with the help of virtual reality, time flies by while you enjoy a great workout! 

Fit Interactive 3 Kick

3 Kick is designed with resilient foam pads that can be punched, kicked, slapped, or tapped with feet or fists. A light randomly illuminates on one of the pads and the player strikes the pad within a time limit and then repeats. It's a more physically engaging style of the classic game "wack-a-mole." 3 Kick is a full body activity that works on hand-eye coordination, improved reaction time, foot work, balance and mental acuity.

Freedom Climber

The Freedom Climber provides all the benefits of climbing without the risk of falling from a 30 ft. wall. The Freedom Climber's rotating climbing surface challenges you even more than traditional climbing. It works to engage every muscle while building grip strength, stamina, balance, coordination, and determination!  

Eyeplay Floor Games

Are you ready to jump, stomp, and run? Eyeplay creates a virtual playground that's packed with over 50 games like Super Soccer, Hockey, Candy world and much more. These games will test coordination, quickness, and mental agility. 

T-Wall 64 

The T-Wall 64 is the all-in-one training center that will test your power, agility, endurance, flexibility and reaction time. Players of all ages will push their limits in solo gamified challenges or contests against multiple users in a "Simon Says" style of game play. 

Fit Interactive Heavy Ball

The concept of Heavy Ball is simple - grab the ball, throw it in the tube, pick it up, and repeat. But the real question is, how fast can you go? Compete against yourself, others or as a team for an exciting round for core engagement, reflex quickness, and leg strength. The Heavy Ball station is excellent for training lateral ability and squat form.
