Fremont Health Spa

Only went here once with my boyfriend for a $ 20 foot massage (which is actually whole body for those who are not familiar with these establishments). We did not come back again. The messages were not good and we did not feel relaxed and there were a lot of interruptions. For example, the masseuse left during the massage when the phone would ring (I get they were probably understaffed, but it’s really annoying when it happens multiple times) and from what I remember, the masseuses chatted with each other several times which ruins the experience.

Massage was mediocre. Not Great but not Bad either. Only complaint was too many interruptions during the massage. Since there was noone at the front desk, the masseuse had to keep stopping & attend to the front. The guy focused a lot of his time massaging my foot & legs– which was fine but kinda wish he worked on my tensed shoulders & neck as well. Oh well, for $ 20 & a $ 5 tip what can you expect.

Worst 20 $ foot massage ever, don’t bother, unprofessional and not skilled at all. Waste of an hour. Man was creepy and sloppy, obviously not into giving a good impression on my first visit. Stunk so bad of cigarettes and was rough and obviously trying to do as little as possible.

First time coming here last night. Overall pretty crap, and woke up with a sore back. Not sure of the name of the short lady who massaged me, but she greeted us at the entrance. Price wasn’t out of the norm, compared to other places I’ve been to. $ 30 for 30min back and 30min feet.
Lady was chatting up a storm at first, sounding angry, kept checking her phone. Since she seemed mad from my observation, she seemed to be taking it out on my back, and was going pretty hard. My mom who got this other guy, asked her if she wanted mild or medium– my lady on the other hand just went in on it. Occasionally she’d lighten up, so I wouldn’t mind. I figured I needed stronger kneading since I had a couple knots. But overall my ratio in pain to relaxation was a steep 60:40. Woke up this morning with sore spots on my back, that feel too tender as if there were bruises on my back. Definitely would not come again, or at the least, not get that lady again.

I love this place. I always ask for Linda as I believe she is the best! The pricing is low so are my expectation of (noise, etc.). Per my request she walks on my back it feels sooo good. They do deep tissue style only. Worth the price :)!

This place sucks. This place is so redic. The massage I had hurt. I was stretched in ways my legs and feet don’t move. The lotion they use smells funny too. I am use to having feet soaking while they work on the rest of your body. Here. They soak you for five mins and they work the hell out of your feet painfully. Never again.

I got Charlie and he cracked the shit out of my back. Like extreme chiropractor status. He had me lay on my side with one knee up and pressed really hard twisting and over extending my back. Then I laid flat on my stomach and he grabbed both my arms and pulled them lifting my entire upper body to almost a 90 degree angle. That hurt. Then he made me sit up and he pulled on my arms some more. I knew the neck was coming up next and I was a little afraid like he was going to assassinate me like in the movies when they twist your neck and you die. However the neck Crack was surprisingly very effective and felt great. Then he told me don’t let just anyone Crack your neck, you could die. Thanks for tip lol
The first 40% of the massage was fine. He even asked if the pressure was ok and it was. But for some reason when he got to my other foot he started pressing extra hard and it was painful. This was after he massaged my other foot with one hand with hardly any pressure and I’m pretty sure he was texting with the other hand. Also he smelled very strongly of cigarettes, especially his hands that were all up in my face. Gross.
He was also talking to other employees during the massage about 70% of the time with no shame. I was In the front part of the shop where it was extremely bright for a massage place because the window coverings were really light.
These places are so hit and miss because the masseurs vary so much and you never know what you’re going to get. My friend got the complete opposite massage. Her masseuse looked like a giant 8 year old and was very gentle with her.
I was pretty much going to never come back or at least avoid Charlie but that neck crack though! Still pretty scary and borderline dangerous but it felt so good. Don’t know if I can get over the cigarette smell though and the other painful cracking of the rest of my body.

Wow I am actually shocked that I am writing this review because I am really not one to write negatively about places because I have worked and customer service and I know that mistakes are often times made. I also do know that when a mistake it made it is the employees job to do their best to fix it instead of fueling the fire.
I have been here a couple of times because how can you say no to an hour long foot massage (that includes legs, back, neck, shoulders, etc.) for only $ 20, which is relatively cheap. Since the very first time I went there I noticed that the masseuses would always chit chat while massaging me but it wasn’t until this time that I really did not allow me to relax. Right from the get go the two masseuses started chatting away and I didn’t think anything of it because i assumed they would stop soon. NOPE. This went on for the whole hour minus the couple minutes they were gone to attend people walking through the front door. I understand if they were short staffed for the day but there was clearly a bunch of people working when i went because i could hear them talking loudly in the back. The quality of the massage was not bad but the experience was terrible. I was really disappointed because i recommended it to my mom and the one time i bring her we have a terrible experience. Not only was the talking very annoying but they left the door open (which is near the massage beds) and we could hear everything going on outside which included kids screaming, car horns going off, etc. I don’t know about you guys but when I go to get a massage i want to be as relaxed and as peaceful as possible which is exactly the opposite of what I felt when i went today. The constant talking in my ears and noise was only the half of it, once we were finally done they decided to actually practice good customer service and offer us water and to help us up which was nice. The thing that really got to me was the fact that they DEMANDED AT LEAST a $ 5 tip before we left. My mom had given them $ 10 for three people which seemed like enough especially since the massage wasn’t the best and it was not relaxing at all but the three masseuses barricaded the door trying not to let us leave until they had felt compensated for what we already paid $ 20 for. I myself worked as a server for over a year and although i know the importance of tipping because that is pretty much what i lived off of, i also learned that you NEVER NEVER ask or demand a tip in this case. I felt so disgusted and appalled to think that they thought it was alright to do such a thing seeing that their services were not that great. Long story short if you are looking to get a massage and for a relaxing experience i would go elsewhere because this is definitely not going to fulfill your needs. Terrible customer service with absolutely zero respect for the customer WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

***CONSTANT NOISE INTERRUPTIONS***
***I FELT PHYSICALLY ABUSED/​VIOLATED***
Before I explain, I think I should add that I’m typically not one to spend time and thought in reviews, so considering I’m doing this is completely serious. Let me just say to begin with, I really don’t expect much from $ 20 massages, and I’ve tried many places in Fremont, but this has got to be the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL place ever.
I had Meng. Throughout the hour of my massage, Meng, along with the other masseuses, kept talking loudly in their own language, and I needed to ask them multiple times to lower down their voices and they WOULDN’T stop. On top of that, the receptionist was watching YouTube videos on their phone which was also so loud that it overpowered the music. The noise alone, was so bothersome.
The massage was TERRIBLE. All Meng kept doing was applying lotion and spreading it, whichever part of my body he was focusing on. He was NOT massaging. He didn’t do any techniques, just spreading the lotion and pressing his fingers wherever, from time to time. It was all things I could have asked a friend or someone at home to do for me. It makes me question if he really is a certified masseur. Majority of the hour he focused on my right foot. It was so unpleasant and did not feel like a massage. When it was time for me to flip over to lay on my stomach he barely spent time focusing on my back. He kept touching me in more ways than one on my «bottom» in a way I know for a fact isn’t a massage technique, and he did this for quite a while as well. It made me feel so awkward to bring to his attention to stop doing what he was doing. At this point I felt extremely violated, uncomfortable, and irritated. I needed to ask him to stop and I left in the middle of my massage. I left in disgust, with my hair smelling like cigarettes from his fingers and extremely overly sticky from all the lotion he put on me. This was my third or fourth time here, each time interrupted and not the greatest service. But this one did it for me, I will never come back and I hope no other customer, specifically women has to experience what I did. Unfortunately, I included my $ 10 tip before the massage, but if I only knew my service was going to be THIS unprofessional I wouldn’t have tipped at all.

This place is my favorite foot massage in the area. For $ 20.00, its worth it! The place is very clean. But, I must forewarn you that they only give deep tissue massage. And it hurts! It is no joke! One time, I wanted to Unilocal out so many expletives, it hurt so bad. But, they take out all the knots, and by the time you leave, you feel like jello. Ive never had to make an appt. I usually call them 35 to 45 minutes in advance, and they have always accomodated me.

For 20 bucks I think it’s well worth it for a foot massage. They usually always have openings when I go in, the room is dark which is a plus for relaxing, the workers don’t know much English but they are nice. The only thing I don’t like is the ending when they do my back. I’m pretty sensitive so it hurts a lot! It’s in a great location in pacific common right next to snow crave tea house and timax!

Been here about 4 – 5 times and each time is inconsistent. This time was the worst of all. I went with a friend and they made me wait for almost 30 minutes while my feet being soaked. Then they brought a kid from high school who is hulky. He knows nothing about massage. I felt like my 8 year old boy massaging me but with the weight of a 150 lb boy. He had no techniques and no skill. Waste of my $ 20.00. Looks like I’ll be going somewhere else from here on. I’m not spending another $ 1.00 at this place.
Note to the business owner: if you don’t have enough staff/​masseuse to serve your clients.. then be truthful and have them come back or wait! !! Don’t be bringing a minor or someone who knows nothing about the service to serve your customers!

Been here for their $ 20/​1h foot massage (chair, head, foot, back, you know the deal) and also $ 45/​1h back massage (room, walk on back, oil, back and front). Have been surprised by how good in comparison to other places in the area. I have been to maybe 10 or 15 places in the 10−15mile radius and this place’s foot is easily among top 3 (this new place in Livermore, and Foot Lax in Milpitas are contenders); nowhere else have I been where the body is also good as well. They also take credit cards! Clean, no fuss-​no muss type of place. Glad to have stumbled upon it coming to the Pacific Commons shopping center!

No frills — but this place is clean and comfortable. Great deep-​tissue full body massage for $ 45 on really short notice. Would like to come back for the foot massage.

The massage is great and the stretching is great. I had a lot of tension on my neck and shoulder and he was able to loosen it up. I came here to have that done. I left the place feeling relax. That is why I am giving them 3 stars.
Now the reason I can only give them 3 stars is because they talk to each other while in massage session, leaves the room to answer their phone and used their cell phone to make personal call. So I try to ignore it as much as I can which I think this behavior is unnecessary.
Will I come back? Only if I am desperate to get a massage. If they can only keep their conversation before and after massages I just may come regularly.

The foot massage is perfect if you’re looking for great value. $ 20 + 60 minutes = forehead, shoulders, neck, arms, feet, calves, and back. You can wear your regular clothes, but try wearing short pants (for the calf massage) and easily removable shoes (for the hot foot bath).
Each masseuse has a different technique, but they’re all quite strong and professional. In my experiences, Healthy Spa can take sore, callused, raw feet and make then like new again.
Tip your masseuse!

***VERY UNPROFESSIONAL***
***EXPECT INTERRUPTIONS/​NOISE***
***HARDLY WORTH EVEN $ 20/​HR***
I came here while running errands in the area recently. You have to pay when you enter, before your massage.
The front-​most room as 6 massage chairs/​beds for the foot massages. Throughout the hour of my massage, the quiet was interrupted by coughing, throat-​clearing, sneezing, conversations with other massage therapists, and other customers coming in and out. It was very annoying and rude.
The one reason I offer 2 stars is because my massage therapist did a good job of relieving tension in my upper and lower back. He applied heavy pressure and really put in everything he had.
If you are looking for a basic massage, try one of the other places in Fremont.

If you are looking to relieve some stress and save a ton of cash… This is the place to go! $ 20.00 gets you an hour massage with your clothes on. They do a great job but English is very limited! They have many different massages packages and all are very reasonable. Your body will love you for it!
Oh and right next door is a place called SnowFlake. They make amazing shaved ice and other yummy desserts! Plus, a bunch of other great places to eat in that shopping center.

For the price, the service was not bad– I’ve definitely experienced worse, unfortunately. I came in because I was experiencing a lot of tension in my upper back, either from sitting (read: slouching) in my office chair in front of my computer, sleeping the wrong way, or a combination of both. I didn’t make an appointment– I took a chance and did a walk-​in. When I first arrived, there was no one at the front desk, and I probably waited for about five minutes before a lady rushed out from the back room, said, «Hi,» and continued right out the door. Um, ‘kay.
After another five minutes, she returned and asked if I wanted a body massage. «Yes,» I replied, «What is the difference between Swedish and Deep Tissue?» She said they offered both. I asked again about the difference and explained my back issue, and she recommended the Deep Tissue.
She placed me in a room with the door open, and returned a few minutes later and instructed me to remove all clothing. After which, she shut the door.
The massage was good, maybe not as deep as I imagined a deep tissue massage would be, but still relaxing, and I felt myself nearly falling asleep towards the end.
My only issue with this place is that they mandate a $ 10 tip for a $ 40 massage. I was okay forking it over because the massage left me feeling relaxed, but if I had been less than satisfied, I would have had bigger issues.
I would recommend if you need some stress relief and don’t want to spend a ridiculous amount of money, except maybe for the tip.
Maybe I’ll try the foot message next time.

Simply put: the best $ 20 you can ever spend on yourself (and anyone you love) is to spend it here. Get the foot massage! I basically try to come here every time I’m in Fremont. And a foot massage isn’t just a foot massage– it’s a whole body massage: shoulders, arms, legs, body, back. Even your forehead.
This place is freaking awesome. You leave with a lot of tension and stress taken out of your system. DO ETTT.
