OBX Massage by Sarah was fantastic to work with and made our trip so much fun. We had a large group…read moreof people vacationing together, most of whom I had never met! I contacted Sarah about doing an at home massage for anyone in the party (over 20 people) that might be interested in getting a massage. I was worried since I didn't have finite numbers, but Sarah was so easy going and quick to respond. She gave me pricing and said as long as I had two 60 minute massages that she would come out to the house. I booked 4 hour blocks with her for 2 days based on her suggestion and we filled out the schedule based on that! Sarah arrived promptly and suggested a private space for the massages and off we went. We were able to pay cash, check or credit (huge with some of the 20 somethings that don't carry as much cash)! She let people pay for massages as gifts for others, and thankfully, took the payments out of my hands by allowing people to pay individually and not demanding a deposit! Every person who received a massage LOVED it. We all felt so amazing. She catered each massage to what everyone needed, for some it was their first massage - others wanted deep tissue work - and Sarah was happy to comply! I can't recommend OBX Massage enough. Sarah was professional, kind and intuitive about all of our needs. She also handled her business so smoothly, and was flexible with us. If someone is on the fence or isn't sure they want a full hour, still book the time. Sarah fills up fast, and may not be able to extend your hours if you change your mind at the last minute - and you definitely will change your mind and want a massage once you see how relaxed everyone is afterwards!

Best massage I have for a while. Sarah has fantastic hands. Thank you. Feeling so much better nowread more

Visiting an out of town gym can be hit or miss, but Outer Banks Sports Club is a must if you're…read morelooking for weight training on the Outer Banks. I am far from a serious weightlifter, but wanted to keep up with my training during our two week stay in Nags Head. First big pro was that I could sign up for my two-week membership online before I arrived, and my first visit took less than 5 minutes to get my key tag and finalize my membership. Membership includes towel service which, especially for those on vacation like me, is a big plus. Additionally, the locker rooms provide (non-locking, open) cubbies, toilets, a sauna, and three showers. During each of my 7 visits, I found the locker rooms to be clean and never without a clean towel. The gym itself has just about every piece of equipment you could want, and I never found myself having to wait too long for equipment, benches, or squat racks. Some equipment is a little more well-loved than others, but there are also some brand-spanking new pieces of equipment, so the owners are clearly putting money back into new equipment. And the more well-loved pieces are still functional, just with some wear and slightly uneven resistance at times. But by far the most impressive thing was the gym culture. Had a chance to chat with a few regulars, and each was awesome and supportive. A guy I'd never met before and who clearly spends a lot of time in the gym came over and gave me a fist bump and encouraging word after pushing through the last few reps of a tough set. It's hard to put a price on that kind of culture. Overall, well worth the price for me. I'll for sure be back next year!

In-season, the weeklong pass is the way to go. The facility itself is spacious (at the end of a warehouse), and split into two rooms; one open space for classes, and another backroom for open gyms with lifting equipment (racks, benches, etc.). Three lavatories that I counted, however only one water dispenser; be sure to bring a water bottle! The building itself gets pretty hot and humid in the summer, but that's the nature of the OBX. Classes itself are well structured with a good warmup. In-season, it seems like the majority are drop-ins, but everyone's pretty friendly; just be respectful, same as at any box. Coaches are great, very involved and take the time to try to know all of the athletes. Over the past few summers, it seems the programming has started to incorporate more variety, which I've enjoyed. That said, they do program for RX/Games level athletes, so don't be afraid to scale! Overall, I really enjoy coming here each summer I'm visiting, and look forward to being back again next year.
