“Nelly is magic…finally found someone who can really massage… Woooo hooo”
“One of the best, I tried Japanese and Chinese before but I rate this the best. I had been there for almost 7-8 months for the past 3 months and after every visit I feel relaxing. I usually go for the relaxation massage, where its a full body oil massage, the place is very clean and the ambience is superb. Definitely worth your money”
“Nice location, good rooms, pretty good massage. I think this is the original Vigorous shop so runs a lot better compared to the other Vigorous shops. Had better massage others places though – please see my reviews for other massage places.”
“I think they were once the only decent option around. Now? There’s plenty of much better places to get much better massages (read my other reviews!). I’m usually a very positive person (read my other reviews!) but I feel the staff here are overworked and tired. I now thankfully have a favourite massage place (read my other reviews!), and unfortunately this is not is. Beck.”
“Went to one between elizabeth and queen, on bourke last night, 2/9, 8pm. myself and a friend had a foot massage, the two stafftalked and laughed the whole way through the massage, i asked for stronger but they didnt care, continued same poor effort, it was more of a foot rub than a massage. Really poor performance, maybe the massages out the back are better as they dont get to talk during the massage!”
