Supple Spa

I had the same issue as another recent reviewer. Received a groupon for a couples massage as a gift and no one answers the phone. Ever. Just a verizon vmail box. Did they go out of business? I’m not generally in the neighborhood so can’t pop by to check.
Update: Groupon sent the gift giver an email that this spa is indeed out of business and will be issuing a refund.

Made a reservation for couples massage on my anniversary. They didn’t answer the phone or the door. Don’t even know if they’re still open.

I purchased a Groupon for a couples massage at this location, but have been unable to get in touch with the business. Calling the phone number provided on the Groupon – and on this website – takes you to an unregistered Verizon voice mailbox. I’ve tried calling at various times throughout the day, to ensure that I’m not just catching the business at a time where someone is away from the desk, but haven’t been able to successfully get in touch with anyone.
Please update your contact information. Pretty bummed that I had to purchase a deal elsewhere (and will be going there on Saturday).

Don’t come here. I went yesterday November 22^nd, 2015 to see that the landlord repossessed the property. They are out of business now.

I have been going to the Supple Spa for years. I have been getting massages for a long time and in places ranging from a random lady on a beach in Mexico to a very high end spas. In my opinion, this place offers a great, no frills (ambiance), deep tissue massage. If you don’t want somebody to walk on your back (very common practice in Far East) and the pressure is too much for you, you probably need to voice your opinion. I have never encountered a massage therapist that would ignore your direction. However, if you understands the principle of a deep tissue massage where the therapist needs to really work on your muscles in order to get any soreness from hard workouts or injury, you would appreciate this place and come back as I have done for years.

Sammy is the bomb baby! She is the best massage person I ever had. And I’ve gotten tons of massages. I’ve been going to her for years and she remembers me every time. Make an appt with her and you will feel like butter after! I promise!

So for my fiancés birthday, I decided to buy her a romantic couples massage at a great little place in NJ. We had an incredible day, so when my birthday came around, she wanted to return the favor and book me a couples massage. For mine, she chose Supple Spa. The package (a Groupon) was to include his and her massages for about an hour and a half, with champagne and chocolates afterward (hers included that as well).
We arrived for our massages, and the appearance of the parlor took us a little off guard. This is not a fancy place to be polite — it’s kind of an older, small place with heart shaped Christmas lights strewn here and there. Unlike the other spa which wanted full medical histories of both of us, as well as a liability disclaimer, Supple just showed us right into our room without any questions. Not that we have any major medical issues, but they probably should ask given the type of massages that they give.
The massage on her birthday was calming, peaceful, soothing. The Supple Spa massage was more about pain. Lots of pain. Pain during the event, during lunch afterward, and continuing right on into the evening. Lots and lots of pain. And I think my fiancé is even worse! They call this a deep tissue massage, which means that they forcefully use every sharp part of their bodies to press hard on your muscles. There were elbows, knees, even feet used. She actually climbed up on to the table and started walking on me before I whimpered, after which she retreated to climbing on me with all fours, with elbows and knees instead. Honestly, the last time someone was jamming their elbows into my back like that, I gave up my lunch money. Where on my fiancés massage day I was looking forward to the masseuse’s each movement to a new part of my body, I feared each new exploration by the Supple Spa woman. After the deep tissue part came an aggressive rub down. This would have been fine if not for the sparse use of oil, and the resulting Indian burns on my inner thighs. When that was over, a 200 degree towel was placed on my back, after which I was asked if it was too hot. For the grand finale, I was chopped and punched all over… my back, my calves, my butt. Mercifully, my «happy ending» soon followed — where I happily limped off the table and put to clothes on to get out of there. I felt like I aged 10 years in that hour.
As for the chocolates and champagne? There was some sweet box wine, and (wait for it) a small bowl of four or five fun-​sized Twix and Snickers bars. Perfect.
They are super nice people, I must admit. Perhaps if you go there on a regular basis and your muscles are conditioned for this rigorous massage style, the pain during and after is mitigated. I doubt it, though. And for a couples massage, this isn’t a romantic place, it isn’t a romantic process, and the after effects will not leave you feeling particularly amorous. Gotta go check Unilocal for a good chiropractor now.

We came here for a couples massage. I originally booked a flower bath treatment but when I saw the bath it looked quite small so decided against using it. At 5’7 with a guy who is 6ft being squashed in a bath with roses isn’t my idea of romance.
The location itself is nice enough you go up some (rather grim looking) stairs and it’s there. The atmosphere is very serene and calming and there is and nice smell to the venue.
We had an hours couples massage in the Paris room which was nice. The ladies techniques were very good and although they are tiny don’t be fooled by their size, they are strong lol. The hot stone was divine it felt like heaven. We were seated in some really nice massage chairs before and after the massage which was a good pre and post prep/​wind down. We were also given a glass of sangria and some small chocolates after the massage… I think it’s advertised as Champagne — it’s defiantly not champagne but I’m not a drinker so this fact didn’t bother me too much.
A few things I didn’t like;
There were times the ladies kept going to the tables to retrieve their stones during these times they made a lot of noise talking, clinking the stones etc. This is a somewhat annoying when you are in a zone of total relaxation.
Their draping skills require a lot of work. At times I felt very exposed with little to no coverage at all.
A few times the masseuse skimmed very close to my private area, my partner commented the same thing that his masseuse ‘accidentally’ brushed his groin area a few times. It felt somewhat invasive as I’ve not experienced that with any massage I’ve had before.
That being said — the experience overall was a good one and I would come back again when I next visit New York.

First time here for a couples massage and it was amazing! They did an excellent job, offered a sangria and fun sized chocolate on our way out. They asked if it was too much pressure which I really appreciate. the ambiance, aroma and music really set the mood.

HORRIBLE! I went with a friend for her birthday. Both of our masseuses were bad– they had no idea what they were doing. I was counted down the minutes until it was over. The way she was massaging me actually hurt, it did not feel good at all. We asked if other masseuses could take over and they just laughed and ignored our request. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I visited Supple Spa today to use a Groupon I received as a gift. The front desk lady and everyone else I encountered was very friendly. The facility is not the best, but I didn’t mind as long as the massage was alright. The massage I received was different from others I have had, but it was still pretty good and I felt relaxed afterwards. Amy, my masseuse asked if I wanted it medium or hard. I asked for medium since I had read a few reviews and thought I’d be better off that way.
She started off just pressing down hard everywhere, using her weight. Then she did hop on top of my back and used her knees to massage my back and buttocks. I felt the massage was pretty thorough. She briefly did feet, forehead, and ears as well. It was very different from other massages I’ve had, but I wouldn’t say it’s bad. It’s just a matter of what you’re used to and what you are comfortable with.
That being said, for the Groupon, I was supposed to choose from Swedish, Aromatherapy or Hot Stone, but was never asked for which one I wanted. I kinda just got something. Oh, she did do like an oil rub down thing which was nice. Mm, and the entrance says, «The Couple Spa» but it’s the same place.
So I guess if you’re looking for a «spa» feel like you’re used to in pictures and don’t like being kneed in the back, I would recommend you try somewhere else. But I liked this place alright.

I was quite disappointed in this place. I read the reviews on Unilocal and still wanted to give it a chance, but I will never be going back here.
The massage was fine and definitely different from previous massages I’ve had. They used weird techniques and at one point the lady was walking on my back (not so fun the next day when my whole body hurt).
With that being said the business of this place was absolutely terrible. My boyfriend and I paid for a groupon here and at the end of the appt we were told to pay a $ 10 fee for taxes, ok I understand that part but it was still annoying. What really pissed me off is when I was giving a tip the man at the register had the audacity to tell me that if it was a good massage I need to give a $ 10 tip to each masseuse. I can tip how I please and I felt that was very rude. I would not recommend this place at all purely for how this business is run. If you have a good business and service you should not tell your customers they need to tip a certain amount. If it’s good, I’ll tip well. I will never be returning to this place and would suggest everyone else to do the same.

I think it’s closed down. We had a couple’s appointment last weekend, but we got there with door locked, and handwritten piece of paper taped near door that said something about renovations??? No answer on phone, website is gone, and we usually received a confirmation call before. Meanwhile we already bought a Unilocal deal so I’m calling shenanigans.

No frills, reasonably priced place with decent rooms for couples. I saw this recommended in a Top 10 time out article and decided to try it. There was no wait and we went for 90 minutes. The massage was okay — not spectacular but not terrible either. If you’re looking for a place that isn’t over the top this is a good choice.

My boyfriend and I went for the couple’s aromatherapy massage.
We were a bit early for the appointment but sill were greeted by the lovely lady at the front desk.
The place is clean, quiet and cozy.
I really liked my massage with a touch of lavender. The masseuse was gentle and listened to me. Whereas my boyfriend found his massage a bit rough.
Overall we would recommend this place and will definitely return.

I just don’t know.
«Treated» myself to a Groupon massage at Supple today. I prepaid for an aromatherapy massage, and what I got was a woman who crawled on top of me on her knees with her full body weight, elbowed me in the a$$, and smacked the snot out of me with cupped hands.
Literally.
In a cold room.
I apparently missed the «aroma» bit minus the slightly lavender scented lotion that was slathered on me in said cold room and made me very, very cold.
And then there was this slapping thing.
I don’t know whether to smoke or to weep. Maybe both.
Two stars because they were very nice when they weren’t slapping me.

I experienced a couples deep tissue massage. I was extremely pleased. My masseuse was very gifted! She used much pressure but somehow it felt gentle at the same time! My girlfriend was equally pleased with her massage.
I will be returning!

There aren’t enough words to describe the pain I am
In right now.
My husband and I came here for a couples massage with hot stones today, since it is my birthday. The hot stones were unusual and not what I expected at all. The masseuse started my massage and from the beginning I knew it was going to hurt. Her touch was so rough and uncomfortable.
I began to complain and I kept telling her that it hurt, she went slowly but after a few minutes she continued to rub my back and neck quite hard. I am in so much pain, I can not even finish this review. I don’t even think a Hot Soak is going to fix this. I pray that tomorrow my back isn’t swollen terribly.
Bottom line don’t come here, I regret visiting this place.

Quaint. Price friendly & relaxing. I normally request Fanny for my massages. If you mention groupon they will match the offer thats being promoted via groupons site.

I really don’t want to give one star.
I received a groupon as a gift for this spa. I booked on the phone and suggested to my friends to purchase the groupon too since it was my birthday. Once we arrived my immediate thought was this is not your typical spa. No bathrobes or slippers. And they kept pushing us to share a room, which two of us did.
Now I gave had quite a few aromatherapy massages and none of them had a person climb on my back and put their knee in it. I have also never had a massage where they only use their firearms instead of their hands. And when she did use her hands it was awful. There was no method to it at all. And it was PAINFUL.
Not only was there no aroma, no candles, no bells, I had to tell them to turn on the heat. I screamed ouch several times and even told her to ease up because in the beginning I stated I didn’t want it too hard.
The best part about the massage was the hot towel. And like I said no shower nothing. Room was by the door so we heard everything.
I will never go there again. I complained to the manager and she did nothing. I gave the standard tip but not because I wanted too.
For a groupon I guess you get what you paid for because out of the four of us we all hated the experience.
Never again.
