Massage

If your body is under stress, fatigued or “fighting” pain, then another of our essential services – massage - may be the key to your overall success, both in and out of GO: Fitness Center.

Our massage room is tucked away from the clanging weights and running treadmills in a quiet corner of the center.  The room is peaceful green with tranquil music and a video of different beaches playing.

Our massage therapists are State Board Licensed and are able to accommodate anyone’s needs from a relaxation massage to a deep tissue sports massage.

The benefits of massage – the promotion of increasing blood flow through your muscle tissue through a variety of touches -  has been shown to accomplish the following:

• Relieves stress


• Lessen or completely relieve muscle pain by stimulating endorphins – your body’s natural painkillers.


• Improves your range of motion by stretching tight muscles and surrounding supportive


• Prepares you for/helps you recover from extensive, endurance training by increasing blood flow and the flow of fresh oxygen and nutrients into the muscle while moving out lactic acid and toxins.


• Increases your immune system by stimulating the lymph nodes - your body’s natural defense system.


• Improves your overall circulation.

Massage - Part of Exercising Smart

Getting a massage does not mean you are weak!  Getting a massage to relieve life-depleting stress or to strengthen your body…. is smart self-care.

Massage will lessen the delayed onset of muscle soreness – DOMS.  When DOMS is reduced, your body will be available to be strengthened however you want, to create your best fitness experience possible.


The difference in a GO: Fitness Center Massage

Having a massage at GO: Fitness is not like your typical spa massage. If you are not a member, you will find GO: Fitness has a relaxed atmosphere with a friendly staff.  This is where you can come as you are and not worry about what clothes you’ve worn, you can just be relaxed.

If you are a member, you may get a light workout in before, shower up, then enjoy your massage, completely de-stressed.  You can get on the Power Plate, so you can begin your therapy before entering the massage room by doing some light stretches with the vibration platform.
