NYC Massage - walk up

[Daniel84]

Hey guys,

 

I currently live in Hell’s Kitchen with a doorman and thinking of moving to Chelsea. I found a beautiful 750sq one bedroom on 19th and 9th. It’s about 5 mins from 14, 23rd and 18th subways. Would a 3 floor walk up be a issue for clients?

[Wanderoz]

For you, they'd gladly walk up!

You are so sweet thank you

I’ve done 5 to see a provider in NYC. 3 would be a breeze, but that’s just me. ?. I was also 25lbs heavier than I am now at the time.

I've done 4 flights up to see a provider once in NYC as a tourist. So 3 flights up would be doable. If you're a great provider, I won't let that deter me from coming back.

One of my favs is a 5 floor walk-up. By the time I get up there, i tell him that I've earned a massage. He does take this into consideration with his pricing and keeps it on the low end. Why aren't there some Men's spas where you have to walk up 2 or 3 flights? Hopefully you're getting a good deal on your new digs. I hear rents in NYC are quite negotiable now under current market conditions.

I actually prefer the walk up. I've been stuck in elevators too many times, which means I don't take them if I don't have to. Nonetheless, to see you, I would do either! :-)

I don't think it would deter me. But I will miss my doorman! They sign for packages, accept groceries and keep an eye on my rather racy doormat! How will you manage?? ?

I am currently paying $2800 for a studio and the place I found is $2200. Factoring in Utilities I am saving $750-800 a month. I am also 5 mins from a subway

[+ WestGuy]

That’s a nice neighborhood and a big savings! Convenience to mass transit is important. Personally I hate the walk from the 8th Avenue subway to the far westside in HK more than I would some flights of stairs, so I would not be deterred at all.

[petergeller]

I prefer walk up over doorman building, mainly because I don’t need to see anyone else.

[wDarling]

Yeah, I also prefer a walk-up to a doorman building. One time saw a masseur at a doorman building and felt kind of awkward about it not knowing if the masseur was using his real name. And also just thinking the doorman must see a lot of guys going to his apartment all the time. But maybe that’s just me being a little immature about it?

[TracerMain]

Walk-up takes a vote from me too. No issues with a 3-floor either.

[+ robear]

I've lived in a fifth floor NYC walkup for 30+ years, so no, three flights up is not a problem. Comes with the territory. Although you'd do well to let clients know in advance that they have to climb to get to you.

[rogerG]

I don't like surprises, so knowing in advance would be key to me. I have friends who live in walk ups, and I don't question visiting them. As for massage service in a walk up, 3-5 floors might stimulate some body odor, depending on how many steps. As long as natural armpit smell is ok with you, I'm there.

[dutchal]

Lots of NYC providers, both residents and visitors, host in walk ups, so the clientele is used to it. Walk ups are a part of NYC life. In this business, they offer the advantage of no doorman dealings. I see no issue, but you might want to let people know in advance. There are some for whom it presents a challenge.

[DDad4ynger]

Well, that answers that?

Not for me and judging by the responses about StrongStrokes, not for a great number of forum members. He lives in a walk-up apartment, three or four floors up, no problem, anticipation provides the necessary energy to get there

@Daniel84 Clearly you won't be catering to an older crowd.

Your comment begs the following question to all providers: how many clients over, say, 75 years of age do you have?

Time management: Arrive early enough to allow for a leisurely climb rather than a sprint.

Like one hour per floor! I don't climb like I used to!

Wow... I'm nearby..lol. Great neighborhood, bakeries and galleries. Away from hustle of 8th, yet close enough. Go for it~

At least you get a nice glute workout!
