RE: INFRARED BODY WRAP by "FIT'
Firstly, the only time I ever write a review is when a good business has received a bad review from what we know is a belligerent customer in the wrong or when a business has crossed an ethical line. This spa is one of the worst of the later that I have seen in a long time.
I live in La Jolla, California and go to a spa with the Fit Body Wrap (or what this spa refers to as the Infrared Body Wrap) on a regular basis to help with pain management. In preparation for a weeks long visit to Phoenix I went online to locate a spa that would offer the "Fit Body Wrap' services. I was mortified to find that not only is this limited in Arizona (it's everywhere in CA) but this spa, Mind Body & Flow offers an unlimited monthly package (when available??) at FOUR TIMES THE RATE I PAY IN LA JOLLA!! WHAT A RIP-OFF!!!! In my spa package in La Jolla, I get unlimited wraps per month, up to every other day (because you are not supposed to do it in back-to-back days) that last for 60 min per session for $103 per mo. Included with this same monthly rate is an unlimited tanning and spray tans and other services like hydrotherapy, massage, facial treatments to name a few.
Along with the 'Fit Bodywrap' that I use is a spray called Fit Booster that helps to detox and eliminate pollutants from the skin, break down cellulite and fat, break through stubborn water retention and firm cellulite **which activates when the heat is applied from the one hour session in a Fit Body Wrap**. The spray is easily applied and the cream does NOT require any type of special treatment or special person to put it on you anymore than you need to hire someone to put on your hand lotion - again, this information is available on the "Fit Body Wrap" website. The SudoTone Cream being advertised is a repackaged version of this. It is also possible to buy an excellent product by Slimline for $30 (8 oz jar) that does these same things and again, no special type of massage or application is needed since it does not start working until HEAT is applied. Additionally, this spa either 'provides' a cream PER SESSION or charges $3.99 for ONE self-application of a Focus Cream, which is the same as the Slimeline 8 oz jar you can buy yourself outside of their spa for $30 or get the Fit Booster spray FROM the Fit website. Do they tell you THAT?? NO!! They CHARGE YOU PER USE, PER SERVING!!
RIP-OFF!!
Also on Mind Body website I see that for a professional to put this 'enhancing cream' on that I buy for $30 and put on myself since it has no special requirements on HOW to put it on (!!!), at Mind Body you will be charged $135.00 for a single session (session?!? of what?! putting cream on that does NOTHING until the HEAT from the body wrap is applied?!?) or $375 for someone to apply a cream 3X that is not activated until the heat is on -OR- you can get five "sessions" for $675.00!!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?!?!?!? This company is totally relying on peoples ignorance since it is the only place in town that has Fit Body Wrap, so you can't call up anyone else and ask questions or compare!! Do yourself a favor and go online and start calling spas out of town, speak to a manager and ask questions about this spas prices, creams and applying them. You will be as angry as I am to know this spa is getting away with this!!
Again, I go to a high-end spa in LA JOLLA, CALIFORNIA and when I showed them this including the manager, they could not believe what a RIP-OFF Mind Body and Flow is!! One lady said, "flow is right - got that money flowing right out of peoples wallets for nothing". Another said, "what a gross negligence of care for people". Well said!
It is very easy to go online and look at the FIT Bodywrap company, find a place in different states and see that the prices at this place are WAAAAAAAYYY HIGHER than everywhere else, even in CALIFORNIA!! This place is a perfect example of a business taking advantage of people. Horrible, horrible, horrible!
Shame on you, Mind Body & Flow for grotesquely overcharging people for the Fit Body Wrap and for services people don't even need!!! I hope you get investigated - YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED!!!!
[Because I need to be mindful of pain management/training when I travel, I went online to Amazon just to see if there was anything I could buy to take with me. Interesting results when I looked up 'infrared body wrap'. Still, even less than one session at this Rip-Off. Do yourself a favor and 'flow' your money elsewhere!] read more
