Bronx Community Wellness Center

Quality Massage Therapy In Our Own Community!!!
I recently started a new workout routine, which made my body sore. I googled massage places near by and I saw that Bronx Community Wellness Center had great reviews. The receptionist was very nice and offered me a Groupon deal. The masseuse, Denise, was amazing. She was very friendly, professional and informative about the body’s pressure points. The tranquil meditation music was a plus. This place exceeded my expectations. I’ll never go to manhattan again for an expensive massage.

Massage was good –only problem was room was by front desk and you could hear them laughing so when you are trying to relax and breathe –the laughing and talking really takes away from the whole experience. Front desk needs to be aware their voice carries and people pay there hard earned money other than that no complaints. I will return because I rather spend my money with local business in the Bronx area.

«Hey Brian,
You are a miracle worker! My foot feels better already. Amazing! I was thinking i should come back to see you the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, so Dec 1^st.»

Brian is a consummate professional. In just two sessions I have felt noticeable improvement and am looking forward to more! Will update this review once I complete more therapy.

Extremely professional and relaxing environment. I needed a massage after falling on ice. I purchased an hour session through Groupon and was scheduled with Alberto. I couldn’t be happier with his professionalism and how helpful he was.
The hour flew by, but i felt satisfied. I made a follow up appointment right away. I appreciated how honest Alberto was and how he wasn’t trying to force me to buy another session, I bought another once anyway. Really relaxing and glad it’s in the area.
Thumbs up!

Bronx Community Wellness Center has the perfect ambiance and suitable accommodations that puts you in the right frame of mind in preparation for your massage or acupuncture session.
Their massage services are on point and professional. It’s really good to know that reasonable services like this exist within our area without having to venture into the city. A few tweaks are needed here and there within the establishment, but these are quickly overlooked once your therapeutic session begins.
BCWC Pointers to keep in mind:
Conveniently located by train and bus services.
Free and metered parking can be easily found in front of and along side the building.
Groupons are to be used during the week. Plus, taxes are not covered on Groupons and will have to be paid upon leaving.
24 hour cancellation policy is enforced.

I received a Groupon for a 60 minute massage at the Bronx Wellness Center. I made the appointment with ease, but as a disclaimer, you have to pay the tax (taxes aren’t included in the Groupon price, so bring $ 4 extra bucks) and they also have a 24 hour cancellation policy otherwise you lose your massage. The office is small but the massage rooms are private and separate. The massage table was heated, which made it very cozy.
Nonetheless, my masseuse was Brandy. And to get to the point, she was fantastic. She asked about my problem areas, and then went to work when the massage began. I’ve had a few massages, and I think she combines deep tissue with another softer variation. But as someone who always opts for the deep tissue, her style was a pleasant surprise. She gave me a full body massage and I left feeling invigorated and not too sore. My problem area, my shoulders and upper back are tender but I feel so much more comfortable now. I would definitely see Brandy again.
The only downside, when I checked in for my appointment, the front desk was on the phone taking a personal call– a little tacky as I could hear her entire conversation. But all in all, I was satisfied. Brandy deserved her nice tip!

Oh my goodness!!! I used a groupon deal: $ 65 for a 2 hr swedish massage. When I called to set up the appt I was told that the deal was good for two sessions so I was already happy to hear this. When I arrive I signed a form and paid my a $ 9 fee. My masseuse was Brandy and let me tell you I WILL NOT GO TO ANOTHER MASSEUSE FOR AS LONG AS SHE IS THERE. She was simply amazinggggg. She asked me if I wanted her to focus on a specific place, but I didn’t so I told her to do as she saw fit if she felt tension. The amount of pressure was perfect I never had to tell her to it was too much or not enough. She was very swift with her motion. I could tell she knew her swedish strokes very well, and can I mention that her hands are HEAVENLY SOFT! When I got up I instantly noticed that she had worked out the tension I came in with in my neck and shoulders.
PLEASE NOTE: SHE DOES HAVE A SERVICE DOG SO IF YOU HAVE DOG ALLERGIES OR FEAR OF DOGS LET THE RECEPTIONIST KNOW WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT AS FOR IT WAS NOT MENTIONED.
The staff is friendly and the place is pretty clean definitely a bronx gem! Can you believe brandy was nice enough to meet me in the hall with a cup of water and was kind enough to ask how I was feeling. Completely recommend her!

Brought a groupon for a 60 minute massage and for reasons beyond my control an Appt made had to be cancelled due to my line of work. Called to explain and the manager was not accommodating and even stated «groupons are not valued as a regular paying customer». My massage time would be deducted 30 minutes and no discretion would be given. Best of all he actually thought he was doing me a favor by telling me he could set up a new Appt if I liked?! Won’t be using the «rest» of my groupon and won’t be purchasing any more from this «clinic». Customers beware the «cancellation policy» is non accommodating and you will lose time and money if you cancel appt’s no matter what.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
The vibe is so suttle, but boy oh boy do they mean business!!!
Mateo’s Hands have been Blessed,
My first exrepince with Acupunture and i became completley hooked!!!

Very nice staff & excellent medicinal massage. Used a grupon for a good deal, but I would definitely pay full price & make it part of my routine. Mateo knew my problem points by looking at my posture, bones, and stiffness. He used a combination of acupressure, chiropractic knowledge, stretching, deep massage and breathing exercises to release muscle & tension. This is not a relaxing in the sense of a slow spa experience, it’s massage to improve overall health, body function, and chi. Good for athletes, chronic pain, and those for whom stress shows in the body easily. The approach is from an eastern perspective focusing on whole functioning & well-​being, giving diet advice, asking questions and listening regarding physical & emotional lifestyle, and just caring! Highly recommended!
They are prompt with reminder calls, the rooms are tiny buy very clean with calming music piped in. There is a room for yoga & tai chi classes.

Recently went to BCWC with a Groupon purchase. I was pleasantly surprised. It had a more clinical feel than a spa, but who cares! Cat was my masseuse and she really did a great job. I swear I was walking on air when I left. Talk about an awesome deep tissue massage. All of my pain is stress related and she worked her magic. The prices are reasonable even without e Groupon. Take a chance & go see them ASAP! Loved It.

Recently had a table massage here via Groupon. Brandy, my masseuse for the appointment, did some wonderful work! She asked about my trouble areas and was truly very attentive to those areas without sacrificing attention to the whole. Her technique seemed to incorporate a mixture of deep tissue and acupuncture pressure points (but don’t hold me to these guesses as I was half asleep and am no massage expert). In particular, I have noticed that my neck/​upper back soreness and tightness (from frequent typing) are GONE. I no longer find myself randomly rotating my neck to stretch out kinks. Lastly, their prices (even without the Groupon) are good, at least compared to typical Manhattan costs. I will definitely be back!

I was so excited to find an acupuncture provider so close to my home, and Bronx Community Wellness did not disappoint. My acupuncturist, Brian, was very thorough and asked a lot of questions about my health. He explained what he was doing and why. It was a very relaxing experience with no pain. I went there because I have been experiencing menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, heart palpitations, and trouble sleeping. When I went for my appointment, I was having my usual heart palpitations but they stopped midway through the treatment and I have no had that pounding heartbeat since! I am going to continue going for treatments and am excited to see how I feel next time! I didn’t expect such great results from just one treatment and I’m really encouraged. I’d also like to add that the staff there is very friendly and helpful, and that’s a rarity. Bronx Community Wellness is truly a gem– I’m so happy to have found them!

Great price and a secret gem in the Bronx! Brian is a great acupuncturist and the massage is good too. I feel like my mood has improved drastically and really enjoy everyone of my sessions. I highly recommend. You won’t be sorry!

I went to the Bronx Community Wellness Center for a massage I purchased with a coupon from Groupon. I called for an appointment immediately after purchasing and was given an appointment early for the next day. The receptionist was very accommodating and friendly. When i arrived for my appointment, the staff was very welcoming; however, immediately i noticed that the place looked more like a clinic than anything else. Which i was fine with until i entered the actual massage room. It wasn’t very therapeutic or relaxing. It looked like a doctor’s clinic room. The actual massage was great. The therapist, (I think her name is Laquita?) was excellent. She asked me what issues i was having (lower back ache) and focused on that area without ignoring the rest of my body. The massage lasted for the full hour, so that was great. The only real complaints i have was: the amount of lotion she used on my body. It was as if they were low on lotion so only were allowed to use a little per client. I think an oil or something would’ve been better. Although there was soft music in the room, it was TOO low that i kept getting distracted by the therapist walking around me. Also, the room smelled like antiseptic wipes the whole time.
PROS: the place was definitely worth the 37 $ coupon on Groupon. Laquita (apologize for the misspell) did a great job with the massage, the staff was really nice, the location was convenient.
CONS: There was no relaxation-​feel in the room. There were no soothing scents, no candles, no warm oil (no oil at all, just cheap lotion that was used scarcely).
