Lux Bodyworks Studio

I was a fan when I walked in and I was instantly greeted and offered hot tea! They had great music and the staff was very friendly. Earlier in the day I was reminded via text message about my appointment and I was lucky to find parking in front of the building but I believe there is parking for this building off Caroline St.
JR was very nice and sweet and did a great job! He was very thorough and made sure I felt comfortable. He spend extra time on spots that I wasn’t even aware of and gave me some recommendations for my concerns.
I will definitely be back!

This is an awesome place to get your back adjusted (frequently) & for an occasional 1 hour massage. The doc is also a health guru and a workout buff, so he’s always willing to share his wisdom & help out his clients live & stay healthy.

I’m going to have to disagree with all of the negative comments about this place. I’ve been here a few times and my massage appointments are always superb. I’ve only had massages with Heather so I can’t speak for Tommy although I have met him and he’s a cool dude. I too was extended the chiropractic package that they offer everyone because its an office policy that they have and I didn’t pay for anything. It actually was just for my own information and it turns out I’ve got a couple mild issues. I will be returning!

Heather is amazing!!! Best massages ever… She has Been The only one to break The knots in my back… If what you need is a deep tissue massage go see heather.

I’ve been to Lux a few times now, and the massages from Heather continue to be good. I’m looking forward to my next one next week. It is not a spa, so if you want to pay for a spa experience, this is not your place. However, the massage is very good.
There is street parking and public parking across the street in Hermann Parking lot. You get a nice walk through the garden as a bonus :-)

I’ve had two massages from Lux Bodyworks and both have been fantastic! Both therapists applied the requested pressure and went for the full hour. The entire office is professional and will try their best to find you an appointment if you really need to get in to see someone. The prices are very reasonable, especially if you are patient of CST Wellness (chiropractic)…I get very frequent massages and I can’t wait to visit them again.

I decided to show myself some love and got the groupon for this location.
Turns out it’s housed in a chiropractic office known as CST Wellness. This translates into DO NOT LOOK FOR LUX BODYWORKS STUDIO anywhere in the building. It will not be labeled as such. I finally asked the guard who said «oh that, yeah, it’s really CST Wellnes.» Guess I should’ve looked at the suite number on the site before walking in.
I checked in and the lady was very nice about it. She also did not pressure me for tip before or after the massage which was nice. The office itself is small but cozy, with free hot tea of your choice while waiting.
I originally booked for a girl, but last minute turns out she won’t be there, and is it okay if it’s someone else, who turns out is in his first month and still training. I did pay a groupon price, so I guess… Don’t get me wrong, he was nice, he talked when needed, he wasn’t awkward, but it was not an excellent massage. I would not come back to this location, even if the groupon price was the normal price. Groupon’s are supposed to get you customers in the door and get the word out, not for you to train your employees. :-(

I don’t care about the ambience, i want somebody to get to those knots in my back amd shoulders, relief the tension. And that is exactly what Heather has been doing! It hurts sooooo good! Plan to arrive early to ensure you find a parking space, walk in and relax!

I had a bloomspot deal for this place so I’m glad I didn’t pay the full price… still it was so bad, I wish I didn’t waste my money. The guy was young and super nervous which made me uncomfortable. I am pretty sure I was his first client ever. I guess that’s what you get when you do the groupon thing

I wouldn’t know what the massages are like. I couldn’t even get an appointment. My husband bought me a Groupon package of 5 massages to use, and I have 6 months to use them.
I called on a Wednesday to schedule an appointment. No answer.
I tried logging onto their online booking system. The system was «unavailable».
I emailed them directly. Finally, someone responded. But they did not have one single appointment for two weeks.
So I emailed them back with my availability for the next two months. Once again, no response.
I will be contacting Groupon to get a refund, it’s just not worth the hassle. We are all very busy people, and don’t need the added stress of scheduling conflicts.

I went to Lux Bodyworks Studio for the first time today. It is not a spa — it is a chiropractic office! Don’t get confused! I searched for the place for a while, found the building. I ended up being late since I couldn’t figure out if I was in the right place. When I tried to use the directory in the Herman Medical Building, they did not list Lux Bodyworks! I sat there for 5 minutes (and I was already late since I couldn’t find the place) trying to figure out if I was in the right building. I called and they told me it was in CST office, which would have been nice to know ahead of time. They should probably let people know that on the phone when they make the appointment (especially first time customers).
I got there, had to fill out paper work and then finally could go in for my massage. Unfortunately since I was late I didn’t get the full 60 minutes that I was supposed to get. My masseuse did a good job, but I was still annoyed I couldn’t find the place and wasn’t told it was in a chiropractic office or CST office. The room was clean, but like a doctor’s office and not really like a spa. It could have been nicer with at least a nice aroma or candle burning.
When I was done with my appointment I felt like they were just trying to force me to sign up for a chiropractic appointment. They claimed it was free but I’m sure they would just find something to make me pay for if I went. I didn’t like that and will not be going for any kind of consultation.
Wasn’t really impressed — but I can’t say anything bad about my masseuse since she did a pretty good job.

Lux Bodyworks is the massage portion of a chiropractic business housed within an office building. It can be a little difficult to find the first time, and you will likely have to pay for metered parking on the street or in the building parking lot, or hunt for a free street parking a couple blocks away. There are no amenities other than complementary tea in the waiting room – the restroom is not located in the business but in the hallway – but given the excellent price for a massage you get with a groupon, this can be overlooked. I was always on time for my appointments, but for my last couple appointments, the masseuse did not bring me into the room until five after, despite always ending my massage on the hour.
The biggest problem for me: be aware that this business is NOT open on the weekends!
When I first began going for my massages, there were two excellent female masseuses. Michelle left at the end of last year, and a young male masseuse was hired to take her place. He is very nice but seems a little inexperienced, and both of my massages were disappointing. If you have a choice, I would try to get an appointment with Aisha.

Few things in life are more indulgent and more worth it than a massage, amirite? Like the rest of America, I have a good abundance of stress in my life, so I booked an appointment with Lux for a massage to unwind a little. A bloomspot voucher kept the price within my student (read: lots of negative dollars) budget.
Upon walking in the office building (after finding free street parking, yeah buddy), I had a little trouble finding the place. Turns out it’s housed in a chiropractic office known as CST Wellness — guess I should’ve looked at the suite number on the site before walking in. The office itself is small but cozy, with free hot tea of your choice while waiting.
Now, for the massage: My massage therapist, Tommy, was a nice young man who attentively listened to what I aimed to gain from my massage experience and followed accordingly. He was polite, thorough, and did a great job, in my opinion. I didn’t feel rushed, the room was quiet, calm, and sufficiently dark, and I got a full hour’s worth of massage, unlike previous reviewers. I felt SO relaxed afterward! The best part? Unlike other chiropractic offices I’ve visited, he didn’t try to sell me on signing up for an alignment or adjustment once the massage was through. In fact, had I not known in advance this was a chiro place, I probably would have just thought this was like any other massage place, which, in my opinion, is great.
I will definitely recommend this place to friends if it pops up on a voucher site again soon.

I bought a Groupon due to the good reviews here. However, what a letdown. A stressful day! Firstly, they rescheduled my appointment today from 1130am to 11am due to their scheduling conflict which I was fine with it. I was looking forward to my one hour massage since I scheduled them.
I can’t find their location and trying to call them but I got a voice mail. Great! Finally I managed to find it and was running 10minutes late. I walked in and still don’t know whether I was in the right place as the sign said Wellness Center and not Lux. I apologized to the customer service that I was running late and it was 11.10am. She had me to fill in a form which was fine as I know all new customer need to do it. I filled up the form in a speed and handed to her and was expected to go in right away for my massage since I was already running late. However, she said please have a seat and will call you shortly. I waited for another 5 minutes and still not my turn. Then I told her that my parking meter expired at 12.17pm to be exact and she said I will be fine. My turn is next. Alright, «that next» was 40minutes later and yet she has not call me. WTH! I was pissed and walked to her that I can’t wait any longer and I have another appointment to go and most importantly I don’t want to get a parking violation ticket as it will expired at 12.17pm and there I was standing there talking to her at 1145am. I rescheduled my appointment to ⁰¹⁄₃₁ and she apologized they were running very late for their service today.
What was I thinking, rescheduled for the stress they caused me today. My brain must not be functioning well after waiting for so long for a massage. When I got home and still feel angry about myself for wasting the entire one hour plus. From the moment I walked out the door this morning to anticipate a relaxing massage, finding the place, parking and waiting. I should have just walked out after 30minutes. I demanded Groupon for a refund as I don’t want to redeem it due to the first BAD EXPERIENCE I had with Lux. I would have give no star if there is an option.

I had my once yearly (if I’m lucky and feeling indulgent) massage on Friday. I think my back muscles are still a little achy but in a very good much needed way.
This place is located in one of the medical buildings across from Herman park but it’s not hard to find if you know that in advance. The lobby is small but cozy and the staff was super nice. Michelle did an amazing job on my poor mistreated muscles! I work out pretty hardcore most of the time but never invest the time in any sort of TLC or recovery that my muscles definitely need. It was very clear once she got to work on my knotted up back that this is not a good idea. I’m so sorry dear body for abusing you so much! Honestly though, I love being active so I don’t plan to ease up anytime soon, therefore I think I“ll have to look for more groupon deals so I can afford the body work. She spent like half the time on my upper back behind my shoulder blades… oh holy hell that hurt! But she was really good at reminding me to breathe and helping me not tense up too much. I may have made her job really difficult. I thought the legs would be better, but alas, not so, she even found tense muscles in my feet that I didn’t know could get tense! This place is very thorough.
The music during the massage could have been less elevator-​ish but also, I could have probably asked to change it.
As I was walking out I saw they have a common area with some yoga and pilates mats and balls. I’m curious about what other services they offer.
The hot cinnamon tea provided after was a perfect way to finish off my session before leaving.
I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for quality massage without having to pay for all the fancy extra spa atmosphere stuff.

Went for the last massage from my Groupon package today and had Aisha. I’ve been stressed out from finals, and she completely worked out the tension in my back. Make sure to ask her for a hand massage if you write or type often, I’ve never had one that seemed to really loosen up the cramped muscles in my right hand. She did deep tissue massage on my fore arm before she started on my palm and fingers and it really worked to release and stretch out the muscles in my hand. Even though my Groupon has run out, I definitely plan to return to Lux.

This was one of the best massages I ever had! Everything was perfect — great music, nice lighting, and my massage therapist Aisha even asked how my mood was so she could select the right aromatherapy. I got the deep tissue, which was just the right combination of relaxing and uncomfortable. Prices are very reasonable, as well. Parking is somewhat difficult — I ended having to park about a block and a half or so away. Not really too bad. If you get there early enough I’m sure you can drive around and find a closer spot. I’ll definitely be getting my next massage here!
