thanks for the solid recommendation. holy crap, one of the strongest massages that i haven't had for a while and i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. michael is certainly a pro and wasn't shy about the thoroughness. he's going to be on my list of regular go-tos. i slept super well since he dug into my stubborn knots like there was no tomorrow with stretching/contortions to dig event deeper into those knots. certainly not for anyone who doesn't tolerate extreme pressure well.
my only gripe is that since i'm a pretty tall guy, i hate when the "rooms" separated by curtains are stingy in size. while it's not a problem for me (except for when i'm undressing/changing in these tight quarters), i do feel badly for the therapists who have to navigate in these tight spaces bent over giving massages. i can only imagine the back aches they have themselves!

I look forward to your update on him!

Have been to the 8th street all seasons but not for a few months , mostly great massages can be hit or miss, strictly professional.
I went to the all seasons on 23rd in Chelsea recently and had Michael, super strong massage I had to tell him to let up at some points because it was bordering on painful, I lift so I really appreciate a super deep tissue. The focus was definitely on getting my knots out and he did some crazy stretching at the end too which I needed. He was very professional but not shy either to massage (almost) all over, would recommend if you like really strong massages. 

I went to Renew Body Wellness today. Frank wasn’t available so I asked for Danny. The massage was very good and inexpensive. I felt like he sort of teased me a bit. It was very sensual and hot but no happy ending or touching was allowed. Unfortunate because he was kind of beefy and had me going crazy. Very good massage though 

It’s men only on weekends (have been there twice in the past few weeks) and I would assume most of the week. Last Saturday I got the last locker. Try it out. $30.

I don’t think they provide massages or scrubs anymore 

ditto on the points regarding Mike. A+ on a strong thorough deep tissue experience. And def not his first rodeo to see something pop up. Hah. 

Frank took care of me in Tai Chi.  Great attitude: playful, happy, good pressure.  He whispered that he loved me in my ear at one point.  $55 with a $40 tip.
