It was absolutely fantastic! My husband and I have been getting massages at the Omni for years, these massages at Apex were the best we've ever had! Both of our therapists were responsive and are masters of their profession. I will definitely be returning and can't recommend this place enough! read more

Clean, comfortable atmosphere with courteous, helpful, knowledgeable staff. They accommodated our party of 3 on a busy weekend. Two massages and one facial; all were wonderful. Josh gave such a great massage! We will definitely be back. read more

Big thank you to Shelby for fixing my back and neck. I was in pain for over a month and she fixed me.

I go there weekly. I have had most of the therapists. All are great and varied in their style or technique. Their new facility was specifically designed for this purpose and very nice. They offer a variety of services including acupuncture, cupping, hot stones, infrared sauna etc. The rooms are nicely appointed and have the ubiquitous music that puts you in a meditative state of mind aka massage induced coma. Staff is very professional and pleasant. This is my favorite time spent each week. My chronic neck and back aches are always better after my visits. Parking is ample. The bathrooms are spotless. They provide a very pleasant atmosphere. read more

Full disclosure: This was my first professional massage ever. So I don't have anything to compare my experience to. But what I can say is that I left feeling completely relaxed, and I can't wait to get another massage. I was given a gift certificate by my coworkers to Apex earlier this year, and for my birthday I finally booked a massage. Emily was my massage therapist. She helped me get comfortable in the room and on the table. The room was very warm and inviting, and the table and blanket were soft and comfortable. Emily worked her way from my back and shoulders, to legs and feet to scalp. I could feel her getting into the muscle. At the end, she told me she had accidentally given me a 60-minute massage, rather than 45-minute -- that's a mistake I absolutely welcome! I will be back! read more

Can someone say SPA DAY!! My husband and I asked for a couples massage for Christmas and his dad researched all the spas in the area and said this place looked the best as far as reviews, professionalism and ambience. We were immediately greeted by a sweet receptionist who ask for our names and if we had been here before. You must sign a paper and explain any medical issues you have or medicines you are taking that could potentially be problematic for the massage. They also asked if there were any parts of our body we wanted to focus on such as back, neck, torso etc. The waiting area was warm, soft and quiet with white noise and calming music gentlely playing in the background. The chairs were super comfy and soft. I used the bathroom before going and vouch that it is equally calming and clean! Which is important! When it was time for our appointment they walked us to a cozy room with two beds with the softest blankets I've ever felt! They were warmed to your comfort level too, not too hot, not too cold. We were asked to undress to our comfort level and tuck ourselves in while they step outside. When they walked in they asked us how the blankets were and if the temperature was okay, they adjusted the head pillow to our liking and began. I have never had a massage before but this was one of the most relaxing things I've ever done!!! It was a great mix of hard and soft touch so that you felt both worked out and relaxed. They knew all these fancy pressure points that helped your muscles be tender and relaxed through the entire experience. I had a whole body massage and I did not feel uncomfortable during any part of it. My masseuse was great about guiding the massage gently and making every part enjoyable! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a massage. Our Masseuses were: Amy Stanley and Cassie Cameron both were amazing! Would request them read more

Apex Massage - Single room bed. This is not the couples room but I didn't get a photo of that one - Massage Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I. Feel. Amazing. A because I still feel amazing...I decided that my 1500th review shouldn't wait any longer. Apex earned it! My wonderful boyfriend listened to me when I mentioned that what I wanted for my birthday was a massage. So he presented me with a gift card for a 60-minute massage at Apex. What a wonderful, thoughtful man who listens to his girlfriend! I have never been to Apex, and I don't get massages on a regular basis. For me it is a treat-yo-self kind of thing, when I have the time and money and when I sort of 'deserve' it. I was going to wait until we finished a difficult and labor intensive home improvement project....but that project still sits unfinished thanks to the foot-dragging of MSD and 311...but ANYWAY. After waiting far too long, and being sore after 3 months of regular pilates-ing, it was well past time to redeem my gift card! Conveniently, Apex Massage is an active member of the 21st century. So, not only do they have prices clearly and easily listed via their website, but you can book your appointment through the website as well. You will be prompted to select a massage therapist, and at the boot of the list there is an option for "No Preference." Considering I just wanted the earliest available opening, and had no idea who I might want to provide my service....that was a useful option! I selected a 60 minute deep tissue massage with whoever was available after noon on the friday I had free. I considered a 90 minute massage so I would be able to tip on the service I was provided following the massage. But I ended up settling on the hour long option. I selected a 4pm appointment, and was assigned to Molly. You have to create an account to book the appointment online, and you have to attach a valid credit card to create an account. Nothing is charged when you create the account/book the appointment, but I didn't love having to do that... I got a confirmation encouraging me to arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill out the pre-service paperwork (contraindications, physical conditions, preferred areas of focus). There are some parking spots dedicated to the small strip of shops that is home to Apex Massage. Other than that, I think there is street parking to use. I was greeted by the friendly staff once inside, and I quickly filled out my paperwork. In no time, I was called back, shown to my room, and my massage was underway. The set up, the music, the process...it is all basically what you would expect at any decent massage place. But Molly...Molly I great. I might end up kicking myself for saying this because y'all are gonna take all her available times and I won't get another appointment when I need or want it...but honestly, she was great! I like a heavier hand when I get a massage. I want it to hurt now so it feels so much better later. The pressure was great and she worked out the stupid amount of stress, tension, and knots I had. When she asked at the beginning if I had any primary complaints, I said primarily my back and shoulders..."the usual" so I say and assume. So that is where we started. It felt so good, and I am so loose and relaxed after...I honestly would have been completely ok if my back and shoulders were all that were touched. But arms, legs, feet, hands and neck were all given some attention. In retrospect, I definitely SHOULD have gotten the 90 minute massage...it 100% would have been worth it. An hour just goes by so fast! But I loved every single second of it. And I had a specific pain in my right mid-back/shoulder when I went in...and it was gone when I left. She listened to what I wanted and focused on that area. That seems simple enough, but that hasn't always been the case at other massage places. As I was leaving, I wasn't pressured to leave a tip or anything. But I wanted to leave one. I asked if I could be charged, like, a dollar, so I could leave a tip. But another worker or manager or someone said that it was absolutely possible to charge just the tip itself. Which I was very glad of! I am already trying to figure out if I can put a visit to Apex in to my budget at least a 3 or 4 times a year. It was that good and I feel so amazing after it. Sometimes I wait to leave reviews of service provider like this...but it was so good, I really just couldn't wait. If you have the time, money, and desire...you should get your massage here! read more

Apex Massage - Massage Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

So upset It was a big deal to be able to go get a massage,I havnt been able to.I was looking forward to it so much and needed so bad it been so long.It was very awkward..2 areas got very slow pinpointed work and that's it..nothing else was touched..there was no conversation about any of it..ive had several massages over the years and never a bad one..this was terrible..the worst! So upset! read more

I have been to apex more times than I can count and never have had a bad experience! I always leave feeling refreshed and can tell a noticeable difference in my muscle tension! They are very professional, knowledgeable, and take time to talk to you before the appointment begins about what your goals are with the session and what areas you'd like them to focus on. I typically get an hour deep tissue massage and it's just enough time! Not too long or too short. I have mostly worked with Kevin who is wonderful and is very accommodating to what will make you more comfortable or if he needs to increase/decrease pressure! Lastly, I love their online scheduling system! During COVID-19 some appointments are only available by calling, but during normal operating times they are fully online! Also, right now you're required to wear a mask when you enter, fill out a form to review any covid-19 symptoms you may have, and wear a mask while you are face up on the table. It can be removed while face down. They are definitely being cautious of the current times while still offering great service! Will obviously be back many more times! read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. I called a few different places and was added to their cancellation list (along with other places for a 90 minute massage) at 11am. They called me at noon for a 2:30 appointment cancellation, I was obviously the only person on their waiting list. I wanted 90 min but they only had 60 min, so fine. Another spa called and could take me for the 90 min so I called them back 2 hours later and said, another place has a 90 min opening so, I'm going to go with them. The receptionist said I needed to cancel 24 hours in advanced, when I reminded her I was just booked 2 hours ago and they already got paid by the other person that cancelled so they couldn't charge me she was clearly bothered. Once she realized I knew my rights, she told me she was going to put me on a list to not accept reservations ever again and HUNG UP on me! Seriously? I called back because I seriously couldn't believe she was acting that way. When I called back she confirmed her statement. What a funky way to deal with people. How about you'll be on my never going to get my money list! read more

LOVE THE NEW LOCATION! I've been a client for well over a decade and have always had a great experience here. As someone who works a job that is hard on the body (hairstylist), I can always rely on an Apex therapist to set me right! I have also been absolutely loving that they added an infrared sauna! Treat yourself. I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

Very clean facility, everything is brand new, professional and friendly staff, had Chisato as my massage therapist and will 100% see her again. read more

See all

I would give 10if I could! I was doing an epic road trip (PA - MI - OH - KY - WV - PA) and my back started to act up pretty early in the "tour". My partner was super good about rubbing it and trying to help me get the kinks out, but it just wasnt happening. In Ohio we were at a museum, and I was hobbled! I couldn't even walk in the museum. It was horrible. We knew we were headed to Louisville the next day so I started to call massage and chiropractic centers for a last minute appointment. This was kind of late in the afternoon, so I was despairing. No one had room, and I was feeling desperate to the point of tears. I got to Apex and was told Johanna (yo-ha-nah) had one appt at 6:30pm, their last appointment of the day. I'll take it! This woman is a miracle worker. Seriously. She worked my back out in those 30 minutes and I had NO MORE PAIN for the rest of my trip. I went from unable to walk, to fully mobile! Even able to pick things off the floor! I didn't try luggage - I'm not stupid! Lol! Thank you, Johanna! You saved my vacation! read more

I absolutely loved this place. They took amazing precautions with covid, and it was one of the best massages I've had. They listened to where my aches and pains were and focused on those areas. I've already booked my second appointment! read more

Roy and Donna are absolutely incredible! If you are in need of a relaxing massage, or need someone to destroy your back like me, this is definitely the place to go. I have been going to Donna for about a year, and she does ashiatsu massage, which is when she uses her feet on my back. This ensures that she gets deep enough into my back tissue to work the knots out of my shoulders. If you are looking for a good massage, look no further than this location. read more

My wife and I did a one hour couples massage on 6/10/17. Donna was my masseuse and she was amazing. I've only had one other massage before and if I'm being 100 percent honest, the only reason I went was because my wife asked me to. I wasn't against it, it just isn't/wasn't what I would typically do with my free time. I drive a lot for work and my posture is less than perfect which leads to a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders. This turned out to be one of the most relaxing experiences I've had in a very long time. Donna was amazing. I look forward to my next visit and would absolutely recommend Donna and Apex Massage to anyone that asked. read more

This afternoon I had a deep tissue massage with Bri and she did an excellent job. I've had a lot back pain this year, and sciatica over the last couple of months, needless to say, I've been looking forward to this appointment. This morning I woke up with sciatica down both sides of my body so I was a little worried a deep tissue massage might be too much. Bri knew exactly where to massage and the sciatica went away by the end of the massage. I haven't had a proper massage in a few years and I'm definitely feeling the soreness tonight but it was well worth it. I'll definitely be going back soon! Also of note: prices were fair and stated on their website, also you can schedule online which is awesome for us introverts! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place since 2010! This is the best, most relaxing massage in town. Everyone that comes here loves the treatment they get. Once I found Donna at Apex, I have been a spoiled massage baby! She is the greatest. Though she may be small she is powerful and works magic with her hands. I always feel so much better after a session with her. I have used two of the others that work here as well and they have all been great. It is just that I want to marry Donna and her magic hands so I will keep going back until she gets tired of boring ugly old Roy and then I will be standing in line. I might just find an old boom box and play some meditation music outside her window half-volume to woo her. Yeah. I think I am gonna do that. read more

I love the new location, but had a pretty terrible massage here post-pandemic. Just a lot of poking and squeezing with sharp nails. I've never had someone lean their elbows in my back and I didn't love it. I've had more relaxing bikini waxes to be honest. read more

I'm gonna have a hard time trying out any other massage place in Louisville after this wonderful first experience in this city at Apex. Even down to the waiting room, Apex has a very professional environment but there's just a hint of relaxation in the atmosphere and decor. I've been to many places in other cities where it felt like a converted doctor's office with the sterility vibe still in tact. Luckily, this is not the case here. Nor is it the trying-to-hard type of place that's overly decked out in zen decor with fancy teas for you upon arrival. It just is what it is. If that's part of what makes it affordable enough, that makes it awesome in my book. I saw Justin on this visit and I was really impressed with how comfortable he made the experience and what an ahmaaaaazing massage he gave. Professional and knowledgeable, this guy is one skilled masseuse. One of the most important part of any massage for me is the initial discussion about what kind of massage to get. 5 stars in that department. Not only did he ask me very thorough questions to determine what kind of massage would best suit me, but did not let that cut into the actual massage time. Furthermore, If you practice yoga I'd recommend Justin since he was able to tailor the massage based on what problems I had in specific poses. Not only can he draw upon yoga knowledge, but he's also studied Ayurveda and let me pick his brain on that during the massage. read more

Everything about this place is great! It's laid back and welcoming but equally efficient and thorough. I saw Justin on my visit here. He's really unbelievable. I've had massage therapy on both the east and west coasts (LA, NYC) and Justin ranks with the best of them. He has over a decade of experience, and while my first massage with him about 9 or 10 years ago was awesome the experience he's gained in the interim really shows. Sadly I live in NYC, but luckily I visit Louisville pretty often and I want to make an appointment with Justin a part of my whole visiting home routine! My neck and shoulders haven't felt this good in years. Several car wrecks and ill-advised roller coaster rides when young coupled with over a decade of hairdressing has taken its toll. But I was pain-free, knot-free and felt relaxed instead of stiff and sore. Treat your body well and it will thank you! read more

I'm a classical singer, and I'm not sure how I went through life before now WITHOUT a professional massage. My eyes have been opened. My husband booked a massage for me as a wedding gift, and I booked with Justin. As a newbie, I didn't know what to expect. Justin professionally explained every detail and tailored the session to my tension needs. These locked muscles have been 27 years in the making, so I knew I needed some work. It's been a long, long time since having a relaxing hour without stress and things to do. Justin checked in throughout the session, making sure the pressure was right and no pain was present. My husband's never had a massage either, and I definitely plan on booking again with Justin. read more

I got my first full hour ashiatsu massage from Cassie and it was amazing! One of the best massages I ever had in my life! She got deep into my back and loosen me up, I always have bad posture bc I'm a nail tech and she helped me out a lot. If you love a deep massage then ashiatsu massage from Cassie is for you! Will def be back! read more

I had a wonderful massage today with Cassie. She did an amazing job and I felt like a million bucks afterwards! I will definitely be back. She was also very nice afterwards and advised me to drink extra water and have a bath in epsom salt, which I did. It was a great first experience! read more

I have an injury in my left shoulder that I fear will need surgery since it is very similar to the injury on the other shoulder that was operated on. I figured I'd treat myself to a massage, not thinking that it could really have a therapeutic effect on my shoulder, but it did. Angie did not use a lot of pressure, but she was skilled in knowing how to work out the knots and trigger points without causing pain. My shoulder has been much, much better. No pain, but much gain. I can't wait to go back! read more

If you are looking for a great professional massage, this is your place. The warm and relaxing surroundings add to the experience. If you need back, glutes, neck, just ask and these areas are addressed throughout the massage. Buy the package and get a discount. They also accept flex or HSA card if your insurance will allow it. read more

Marla absolutely saved the day for me today. She has won me over and I'm a forever customer (as long as she'll have me). Ashiatsu is AH-MAZING. I've been in crazy back pain for two days and she introduced me to her magic. Seriously can't wait to come back. Highly recommend Apex and Marla. read more

I was given a gift certificate here for a few free massages and am so thankful for that gift. I have had nothing but great experiences at Apex. All of the staff is so friendly and welcoming. This was my first ever massage and they did a great job making me feel very comfortable and informed me of how things would work. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. It is such a relaxing experience! read more

Donna, Roy and their staff are amazing. I've been a client for years. I've had recurring back issues since my teens. With regular treatments, Donna has both lessened the frequency of flare ups, and helped quell back spasms when flare ups have occurred. Other staff have been great too. Good people to boot. read more

Have been here several times over a couple years, including a couples massage with my husband. I've referred many friends here and they've all been equally pleased. Great place, wonderful massage therapists, calming and soothing atmosphere. Love, love, love. read more

When I asked my wife what she wanted to do for our anniversary she said the only thing she wanted was a couples massage. I booked a jacuzzi suite at a local hotel for a few nights and made an appointment with Donna for a couples massage. Donna and Justin came to our suite and set up the tables turned down the lights and had some very relaxing music playing. They were very friendly and professional and my wife and I agree that the massage was out of this world. It's a good thing we had already gone to dinner because after our massage we were too relaxed to want to go anywhere. We will be booking them for our anniversary every year and probably more often than that. Simply the best!!! read more

Went here for a Valentine's day couples massage. The first massages for both of us! Both of our masseuses were fantastic, knowledgeable, and made us feel extremely comfortable for two people who were quite nervous to begin with. Such a friendly atmosphere. We left feeling like it had to be a weekly routine. read more

The story goes like this: my boyfriend forgot our anniversary which prompted a severe scolding from me which in turn prompted him to schedule us a couples massage at Apex as a peace offering. The massage was amazing and we both came out of there feeling blissfully relaxed. Hmmm, is it bad that I hope he forgets next year too? read more

I have had numerous massages from different places, but my massage from Angie was the absolute best I have ever had. It's unfortunate that I'm not from Kentucky, but I plan to visit her as much as I can while I am here. read more

Grateful for a last minute appointment. I travel regularly for work and always wait until past the last minute when it comes to getting a massage. The place was easy to find, professional, friendly, and I would definitely come back. read more

When asked "what are we working on today?" my answer may range from "head to toe relaxation" or "I'm having trouble with this or that." Either way I walk out of there feeling a zillion times better and either ready to tackle the world; or take a nap. read more

I have seen multiple massage therapists here and they have all been amazing. This is my top place to go to for a relaxing massage in Louisville. Appointments are fairly easy to come by (if you just take who is available) and they are all polite and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I really like this place. the staff is very knowledgeable and has helped me several times in overcoming debilitating back pain. I have yet to find someone on the west coast that is as good. read more

I see Marla for the ashiatsu and she is amazing. I originally was scheduled for a sports massage because I was training for a half-marathon and thought that would better suit my needs. However, Marla took the time before my massage to have a consultation. With a couple questions and a short conversation, she was able to find out some other issues I was experiencing (based on career and liefstyle) that she could help with (migraines, tension, etc) and we decided to go forth with the ashiatsu. I had never had this style of massage (she holds onto bars on the ceiling and works her magic with her feet) but now I don't know if I can have anything else. The style is great and Marla is awesome. She has a great bedside manner, remembers events going on in my life, and asks about my family and my career. It's that attention and rapport that really makes a person feel special. There are a lot of great massage therapists out there, but not all of them will ask about your mom 2 months after telling her she put her dog down. So, if you like a deep tissue massage, or if you have a lot of knots and tension like me, give the ashiatsu a try and if Marla is available, let me know... just kidding if Marla is available, take that spot, you won't be let down! read more

As a caterer, I often need massage therapy after catering an event. Whether I have an injury, sore muscles, or just need to relax, Apex has always exceeded my expectations for relief. I can personally recommend Donna, Kim, or Justin, but know that any of their staff will do a great job. Call them. You'll be glad you did!!! read more
