U Spa

Ron gives a great massage. It’s really nice that you can go in the sauna to warm up first. The space is clean and well appointed. I’ll definitely be back!

I had my first massage with Ron last night. As the other reviewers say, he is fantastic. The massage was indeed a combo of Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Thai (my first experience with the last). Ron’s touch is highly intuitive, gentle and comforting, while still deeply relaxing and releasing stress and sore muscles. I have always preferred deep, fairly aggressive massage, so at first I was wondering if his approach would be right for me. On the contrary, I can’t imagine going back to aggressive massage now. It seems amateurish compared to what Rob accomplished with far more nuanced and subtle technique. He’s clearly very experienced and skilled, and also talented.
I will definitely be going back and have already begun spreading the word to other friends. I should also say that the space is beautiful, immaculately clean and restful, and his prices are very very reasonable.
Don’t hesitate. You’re in for a genuine treat!

Fabulous deep tissue and Thai massage combo. I also love being able to use the sauna-​it was certainly European style, very hot! I agree with other reviewers that the outside of the building is not typical for spas-​lonely feeling office building. But the inside facilities were excellent quality and reasonable pricing. I will certainly return.

I used to live in Boston and work in Framingham — I went to U Spa for the first time based on Unilocal reviews. Other reviewers are right — don’t be put off by the fact that this is located in an office building. Ron gave me the best massages I have ever had in my life (and I have had Thai massages IN Thailand!) I have since moved out of Boston and am sorely disappointed by every other massage I’ve ever had. Next time I visit Boston, I am going to make a stop in Framingham for a massage!

I don’t think I have ever given 5 stars to anything before, but U spa deserves it. Every year I pick a place to get papered for my birthday, but I never remember the places I go to. This place is definitely worth remembering. So much so, I might start going to the spa more often. It is very clean and intimate and off the beaten path. If it hadn’t been for Unilocal I would have never discovered it. So thanks Unilocal!!!I got the dead sea scrub in the sauna followed by a massage and that is exactly what I will be getting the next time I go back.

I’ve had numerous massages here, and have also had several personal training sessions. It is a clean and comfortable space. Ron is very skilled and gives an excellent massage. He is also good at teaching fitness exercises and techniques.

I have been to countless places for massage, always looking for a discount or Groupon special, but this place is worth the full price. The therapist is very intuitive, uses a variety of techniques to soothe, stretch and relax tense muscles. With consistent massages from him, I’ve noticed improvement in my body ‘s aches/​pains, particularly along my spine and lower back. (due to Thai massage?)
Recently I tried the mud treatment in the wet sauna. I cannot praise it enough. My skin with smooth and glowing for several days. Although the place is not the typical day-​spa for pampered women, I give it an A+ rating. This place features things other places just can’t provide (in addition to nice surroundings) — sense of wellness, total privacy, quiet. It’s the only place where I’ve actually felt centered. There’s nothing more distracting than listening to other people’s chatter around you, even if they’re rooms away.
This place is no-​nonsense, no frills, and delivers on quality.

Don’t let the location of this place influence you– this is a GREAT little personal spa, with one of the best therapists I’ve had.
As a travel editor, I’ve been to hundreds of spas and therapists in the past few years, and Ron is among the best. He’s incredibly strong, but his massage is never overbearing and he clearly knows what he’s doing. The space itself is immaculate, and the luxury of being able to take a private sauna before a massage is awesome– especially in Metro West.
I haven’t had personal training appointments, but a friend has and he was just as happy with the space, the trainer (also Ron) and the program. I highly recommend this place and have already booked a series of massages, so I’ll definitely be back!

U– Spa is U-​nique. It’s located in an office building, that, frankly, seems a little sketchy when you first go in. But don’t let that put you off. I was amazed at the actual space when I walked through their door. It’s lovely and serene.
This place is about fitness and the first thing you see when you walk in is the training area. I did not have personal training, however, so I can’t comment on that.
Unlike other places, they have a sauna. Actually have two saunas. (One infrared, the other regular — the regular one, you can use for free before your massage.)
My trip here was a gift for a body scrub and a massage in February of this year. Do NOT get the body scrub. Again, this place is about fitness, and he is not really set up for it. At leisure spa or a skin care type place, a body scrub would occur on a specially designed table, but this happened in the sauna, which was not that comfortable and I got salty water in my eyes more than once. Mind you, it wasn’t a miserable experience, but I’d only give it two stars at best.
The massage, on the other hand, was fantastic. First, I am not a tiny woman and my only covering was a single regular sized towel, yet, somehow, during the entire massage I was completely covered and appropriately draped. I have NO IDEA how he managed this, but he did. The massage was a combination of styles, including Thai, and there were points where I thought I was doing acrobatics even though I was just there. He climbed on the table, maneuvered me in to Yogaesque poses, stretched out my spine, dug out my knots… all great stuff and all without ever moving that towel in the wrong way.
I would not have chosen to come here on my own, as it’s a bit pricey for me, but if you’ve got the dough and you’re in the area I recommend trying a massage at U-​Spa. Especially with a warm sauna before hand, to loosen those muscles.
I left feeling limber and relaxed and even the back pain and sciatica I had (which months later resulted in surgery, but that’s an unrelated story) was significantly alleviated.

I’ve been to this spa several times now, and enjoy the experience more each time. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the heat of the two different saunas, and then get an excellent massage. The massage in a nice mix of deep tissue, Thai and Swedish styles, with a good deal of stretching — which I like very much. The massage therapist is very talented and quite intuitive. He is strong and works the muscles hard, but it’s not generally painful at all.
The facility is brand new and very clean. There are two saunas and a nice shower. The massage room is very warm and relaxing — with soothing music and a calming atmosphere.
I’ve also indulged myself with a couple scrubs which has made it the ultimate spa experience. I suggest you make a morning of it and start with the heat, then have a massage followed by a scrub! I think you’ll be glad you did!
