Aura Spa is a quality spa inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard without breaking the bank. Here's…read morewhy I enjoyed it: 1) Location: It's inside the Vida Fitness in Navy Yard. Check in at the gym front desk and head straight back through the door that says "Aura Spa." There's street and garage parking nearby and a metro only blocks away. 2) Price: For a 60-minute quality massage in a nice environment, it only cost $115 not including tip. For this area, that's not bad. 3) Experience: It was a great experience. They made sure you stay hydrated, don't make you wait, and don't talk to you during the massage so you can relax.

Let me preface by saying there are two entrances to VIDA fitness, one facing 4th Street SE, and the…read moremain doors/entrance where the spa is, faces Tingey Street SE (basically just around the corner!). See photo attached for entrance to the spa. I came here because I pulled my shoulder and it hurt to bend, turn, lay down, sit up, and basically everything else. I saw Agnes and she was amazing. She was attentive and gentle but still got the job done. The inside was so calm, and the ambience was relaxing and chill. I definitely felt pampered. I scheduled my appointment last night and was able to get in today. I have another appointment later this week since my massage therapist back home said to wait 5-7 days if you're getting a massage for a targeted area/for muscle pain, but I will definitely come here again! Another Yelper said $115/60 mins is great for Navy Yard, and while I think I could find less elsewhere, Agnes was worth it and I cant wait to go again. I felt immediate relief in my shoulder, and she even worked out knots in my lower back. She provided a full body massage (head, neck, shoulders, back, lower back, glutes, legs) and I left feeling like a new person.

I had a deeply disturbing and completely unacceptable experience at this business…read more While I was using the sauna, an employee walked in while I was undressed, without ANY regard for privacy. What made the situation even worse was that they proceeded to make inappropriate comments about my body and the smell of my perfume. This was not only unprofessional--it was invasive, disrespectful, and made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. I made it clear that I was uncomfortable and did not want to return (although I had paid for a package), and the response I received was dismissive. There was no accountability, no apology, and no indication that they took the situation seriously. It escalated further when my mother called the business to express concern and explain that she did not feel comfortable with me going back. The phone was answered with, "Who the f*** is this, you called me?"--which speaks volumes about the level of professionalism and respect customers can expect. When we attempted to resolve the situation by setting up a call with the business manager, it was met with endless excuses, missed follow-ups, and a complete lack of communication. Overall, this experience was not just unprofessional, but completely inappropriate and concerning. I would strongly caution anyone considering this business. No one should have to deal with this kind of behavior, especially in a setting where privacy and comfort should be a top priority.

I was given a brief tour of the facility and since I arrived 45 min before my service I was able to enjoy the infinity pool, steam room and sauna. The ice cold washcloths by the sauna were heavenly. Taquita did both my signature massage and my pure radiance facial. She was amazing! She took the time to ask me my pressure preferences and well, the rest is history. After my treatments, I enjoyed reading my book in the relaxation room while hydrating with the water that was provided. The snacks were also a nice touch. Will I be back? Yes, I think this might become a birthday tradition.

There's also a tv that swivels out so you can watch or listen to music while in the sauna. I like the ease of getting back and forth from the sauna to the cold plunge but the space is a bit small for two people. I've heard other locations are bigger. The vitamin C shower was pretty nice too. It smells really good and I'm sure in the long run would help with my skin complexion. The cold plunge is pretty cold but you feel very refreshed afterwards. Start slow and ease your way into staying longer and for more rounds. The only thing I wish they had was a separate changing space so you don't feel like you're rushing to get changed before your session ends.

The price for a 60 minute massage is very fair for being right in the city, $130 before the discount, $110 with it (before gratuity). I have not tried any other services. Since I am a member of the gym, I knew it was located in the gym along with the hair salon and was not surprised by the entrance procedure. Rather, I was incredibly impressed by the tranquil environment they managed to create within the busy gym. Once you enter the space, there's dim mood lighting, relaxing music, water, and a separate bathroom. You wouldn't even know you're in the gym. I received a massage form one masseuse, thought it was good, and so I went back for a second with the same individual. The second time, I was deeply unimpressed. The whole experience was much more wholistic and caressing than a pressure-based massage--even after I requested more pressure. It didn't even feel like I had had a massage afterwards. So for my third session, I decided to try someone different: Ronnie. And Ronnie was amazing. He incorporated so many different techniques, including stretching, and threw in some extras like heat and aroma, even going a little over time. I would definitely book Ronnie again. It is a shame that there's no way to tell on the app (that I could see) what type of massage each masseuse specializes in, so you could select one who matches your preferences. My experiences with each masseuse were so different, and it seems a little silly that I would need to try them all before finding my favorite.

Right off the bat, I will say that the location was not ideal as I wanted to relax on a nice Friday…read moreafternoon. The spa is located inside of a gym and you must walk through the gym lobby to reach the spa. The spa advertises a sauna and steam room, however it's separate from the spa area and is located somewhere in the gym area. I opted out (though it was free) because I just didn't feel comfortable walking through the gym area in a robe. There is also some sort of service elevator in the spa area just next to the spa front desk; there was so much ruckus and commotion coming from that area that it was hard to embrace the serenity of the waiting area. The waiting area played some relaxing music and had some ambient lighting. They also provided light refreshments such as infused water and hot tea. I came with a few friends (4 of us including myself) as we were celebrating a birthday. The spa staff was so kind to open a bottle of complimentary champagne and provide fresh strawberries for us in the waiting area as well. My friend called the spa a week prior to book our services and we were split into different appointments times- two people receiving massages during one hour and one person receiving a facial, then the next hour two people getting massages. Because the rooms are directly accessible to the waiting area, you can pretty much hear everything so I heard my friends through the door. Toey was my masseur and she was phenomenal (easily a 10/10). She asked me at the beginning where my problem areas were and where she should focus, and I had her focus on my neck and shoulders as I hold all of my tension there. I requested an hour long Swedish with medium pressure. I was provided complimentary aromatherapy oil in the massage so that was a very nice touch. She massaged my scalp too which was sooo needed. From my head to my toes, she covered it. I felt so much relief at the end of my massage especially because she made sure she spent enough time on my problem area. Absolutely great massage. The gentleman who works the front desk (I think his name was John but I can't remember, sorry!!) was also so kind. He was the one who brought out the refreshments and was periodically checking on me while I was waiting for my service. While the location is not ideal, the service was wonderful. I was pleased with my experience here. The only reason for my 4 stars is only because of the location. Tip: if you have long hair, don't forget to bring a hair tie!
