The location is quite convenient for me as it's just 2 blocks away from my house, but I find it a bit weird since it's located in the middle of computer shops in PC Gilmore. If you have a car it may be hard to park in front of the building, but there's a residential area in that street where you can just double park.
As with most gyms, they also offer some of the usual spa services. Surprisingly, theirs is quite affordable. The spa area is connected to the locker rooms, so the male and female massage areas are separate. You'll surely have a safe place to store your belongings as they provide all customers with a locker key. Inside the locker room, there's also a jacuzzi, a sauna, and a steam room.

Once you're ready for your massage, the therapist will lead you down the stairs to where the rooms are located. The ambiance in the spa area is really relaxing with its zen interiors.

They have available rooms for 1 person if you want privacy, and also common rooms which can hold up to 4 people.

The beds were just right and actually quite comfortable. And the massage--the massage was really really good, and one of the best I've ever gotten. The pressure was just right and I felt really relaxed the whole time. I fell asleep for quite a while after the session. Make sure to look for Nica or Marilou (I'm not sure if there are other therapists) when getting your massage here, it'll be worth it.
One negative thing though is that you can hear all the noise from the swimming pool area. If there's someone swimming, you'll hear the swishing of water drowning out the relaxing music playing in the background. It's a good thing though that only a few people take advantage of their pool facilities.
Verdict: The location is a bit unusual since it's located in the midst of computer shops, but once you're inside it won't really matter. They have nice high class facilities and the staff is very friendly. Their massage is excellent and will definitely give you great value for your money, if you don't care for the occasional noise you'll hear from the swimming pool area. I'll definitely come back. However if you're looking for something romantic with your special someone, this is not the place for you since they don't have a couples room and the area is nowhere near romantic.
