I've been coming here for massages for the last 2 years. I'm very happy with my masseuse Shauna and the staff at the counter checking me in. The massage rooms are cozy and relaxing and clean. I also like the clothing that is sold here. They also offer jewelry, lotions, oils, yoga equipment and clothes. Some morning the bakery bread makes the lobby of Wellness Within smell like fresh baked bread too. You can always wander into the Enjoy Centre from Wellness and explore the rest of the place. read more

Time to get stretchy St. Albert and friends! With the restrictions easing and in person classes opening up it was great to be able to get to Wellness Within for my first Hatha class in a long time. The studio was super clean, and they have personal washrooms/ change rooms to use. A lot of the things were cordon off like the bolsters ect but I am sure once able to do so these items will be able to use. The class was nice and felt very personal. They also offer spin classes and Barre so there is something for everyone but I haven't personally tried those out... yet. read more

I had the opportunity to visit Wellness Within several times this week during their fall schedule preview. It is located in the lower level of the Enjoy Centre next to Amaranyth grocery store. The location is beautiful - stunning really! I have shopped the upstairs many times as a gardening enthusiast but this past week was my first visit to the Wellness Within portion. There are 2 yoga rooms - a sky room and earth room. The sky room is a glorious round room surrounded by beautiful silks that remind me of saris and sky lights above and a large window overlooking a field. There are no mirrors in the room and the instructors encouraged us to focus on listening to our bodies. The room is stocked with extra yoga mats, straps, blankets, yoga blocks, and foam squares (for sitting, etc.). I've been to quite a few yoga studios and never seen one with this many accessories easily available - very inviting and welcoming. There was also a complementary tea bar with several selections. The washrooms and change rooms were spacious and beautiful. The Wellness Within offers other spa services and has a small boutique with earth friendly makeup and clothing. As far as Yoga goes, this place is awesome! The instructors I had were friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The current schedule offers many variations of Yoga including Hatha, Prenatal, Pramika, Sunrise, Kid's, Slow & Strong Flow, Deep Flow, Power Jam, Relax & Renew, Vinyasa, Akhandra, Nidra, Yin & Yang, and Therapeutic. They offer drop in classes, punch cards ranging from $17 to $11 a class as well as reasonable monthly unlimited memberships. My review is based upon the Yoga portion of Wellness Within - but the store looks absolutely beautiful as well! read more

See all

I sat on this review for a while before writing it... letting my experience set in. Overall, the experience was okay. The staff at the front desk were friendly and the waiting area is nice. The hallway leading back to where the services are performed is lovely. Very calming and peaceful. My issue comes in with my specific massage therapist. I believe her name was Sarah. She's talented, don't get me wrong, but some things she did were truly strange. For instance, she squirted the lotion/oil directly onto my skin each time that she was reapplying. It caused me to jump every time, which obviously took away from my relaxation. She would also bump into my body parts, or the side of the table as she moved around. I've heard great things from other people about this place, so I'm sure I will return... but I will look for another massage therapist next time I book. read more

Unlike, other reviewers, I found the front desk reception staff very professional, polite and accommodating. I have had generally good experiences with services I have received but what keeps me returning is I have been fortunate to find regular massage therapists that are a good fit. I was about to abandon going to Wellness Within because my regular therapist had left (this has happened a couple times before). I had a number of appointments that needed to be reassigned as a result and was tempted to simply go elsewhere. Fortunately, before I did so, I decided to book with Caitlin. She is a relatively new therapist but is solid. I enjoy the relaxed environment Caitlin provides through her pleasant demeanour and a "lightness" she exudes that makes my session with her that much better. I highly recommend others take advantage of her massage services. 5 stars for Caitlin and the reception staff. A reduction of one star for some other matters I will not elaborate on in detail at this time. read more

Always extremely pleased with my massage therapist and her concern for my particular issues.

I was given a gift card for my birthday. I have had pedicures in the past in the spa, but under a different company. I've always enjoyed the ambiance of the spa. Deven was wonderful, professional and accommodating to my last minute change for gel polish. I will be back again. read more

Even though it was enjoyable for me, my daughter Caitlin was with me and this was her 3rd time getting a massage and the girl that worked on her used only one hand throughout the whole massage. She was not pleased or impressed. I am not sure that I would come back. read more

Evan was very professional and knew his stuff. I've been coming here for 2 years and this was my first session with Evan, he will be my go to guy moving forward. read more

Such an excellent instructor (Roxanne) and excellent and relaxing studio !! Loved my restorative class and will be back again!

So relaxing. Had a relax body scrub and wrap and hot stone massage. The massage was the best one I have ever had and the wrap made my skin super soft. Defiantly recommend! read more

The front desk staff were very rude. Didn't even say greet me when I walked in the front door or just asked if I needed help with anything. Instead just barked at me that the rest of the building was closed till 10am. In no way would I pay for services from this place if the front desk staff can't be warm and welcoming. read more

I sat on this review before writing. I had a 60 min massage at Wellness Within and it was one of the worst massage experiences I have had. The RMT did not work on the areas that we had discussed prior to the massage. Throughout the entire massage, the RMT talked incessantly about all of the features that her new Honda Civic has, in addition to the cost of the vehicle. After she was done talking about her new investment, she went on into extensive detail about the value of her life insurance policy and the beneficiaries of her will. I came into Wellness Within with back pain and left with the exact same back pain. This service was awful and the RMT did not conduct herself professionally whatsoever. read more

I love the massages with Mary she is good plus front staff are nice when i walk in they offer water before my appt. Place is clean but the price is high as i looked at a pl today 90 mins is $100 so they need to bring them down read more

Gillian is amazing. A real gem. She knows how to keep it interesting. Yoga can be boring and repetitive with the wrong instructor. Plus she is knowledgeable in both yoga and the science of the body. Perfect combo. You can tell she enjoys and is interested in what she does. The studio is very comfortable. We weren't happy with the downsize in space, but Gillian keeps us coming back. read more

I booked a pedicure with shellac polish and it was literally just my toe nails being shaped and painted and it cost over $60. Not too impressed. However the girl who did it was super nice and did a good job. read more

Excellent massage service, friendly staff, easy to book online and change an appointment if needed. Email and text confirmations help ensure you never forget a booking. read more

I have been getting massages here for a few years and have had good experiences. Having visited other spas I can say I really appreciate the ambiance of the rooms. They are comfortable and relaxing. If I had a complaint I would suggest the employees not chat in the hallways. Some people come for a purely relaxing experience and having conversations outside your room for 5 minutes is quite distracting. This is the only complaint I`ve had here. read more

Very nice facility, supplies and ambiance. Yoga instructor was excellent. A nice treat to have tea available, and ceramic cup and could even bring tea into yoga room! read more

How can you not LOVE this place? It's a one stop shop! The staff are very friendly and helpful. I have done yoga here and also have had a massage....The change rooms, bathrooms, and service rooms are clean and beautiful and there is a very welcoming, homey feel the moment you walk into the spa. The yoga teachers are fabulous and the space is unique in that the rooms are in a half-sun shape rather than the plain old rectangle/square so you feel more part of the action. The clothes and other goods for sale are quite reasonably priced and very nice. Being here also gives you an excuse to check out the rest of the Enjoy Centre which is also very nice....So far, I have had nothing but good experiences here! :) read more

I love this place. The owners are local and care about their customers. The therapists are all wonderful and take great care of their clients. The receptionists especially are just fabulous! Check out this beautiful space and see for yourself! read more

I recently had the opportunity to visit Wellness Within for a facial. I booked in for their signature facial, never having had one before. The girl I had perform the facial was amazing. She took the time to really figure out what products to use for my skin type and asked me lots of questions. I did t really know what to expect but she made sure to answer all my questions. The massage was great! My daughter and I will be back for pedicures. The spa was clean, inviting and all the staff seemed very friendly. I also didn't feel pressured to buy product after my facial like I was warned about from friends who have had facials at other places. I picked up a service menu on my way out and prices seem a little expensive but for the location and type of spa it is, maybe they're completely normal. read more

I have seen many massage therapist in many years time and since i have been seeing Katie Brown, i would not move anywhere else. She is an excellent massage therapist and very knowledgeable in her profession read more

I have been here many times for massages and have to say its pretty damn amazing. I have had the BEST massage I have ever had from an RMT named Caraline. She is fantastic! Jen is very great to I go to see both! ALL the staff there are so friendly and accommodating. I usually come in one to two times a month to get a massage and I always leave so relaxed and in such a great mood! I manage a spa myself and have to say how well run and organized they all are. Thanks to all the staff there at Wellness Within! Keep up the fantastic work! -Courtney. s. read more

I went to get a pedicure at this spa. There were not many options for nail color...most of the colours on the sample swatch colors they gave me were marked with an X because they they didn't have the colors. The tech left the room and never came back after the top coat was added. she never mentioned a thing before she left. Just left the room. I decided after a little while that my nails were dry enough and made my way to the front. The receptionist didn't seem to be happy...she said she wasn't trained on gift card entering (which is what I was paying with). I expected a better experience for the price. read more

Went there with a friend for a massage and facial. While I had the massage my friend was having her first facial ever. Then in between treatments we meet in the relaxation room. I asked her how her facial was? She was impartial about it. She went on to tell me the esthetician left her alone in the room for what felt like a long time. Having been a esthetician myself I was shocked and told her that was not right. So when it was time for my facial I couldn't believe when I was left alone. I looked at the time and proceeded to wonder how long I would be left to lay there? 20 MINUTES!!!!! When she returned I was over it and let her know I just wanted to leave. I did not pay to lay with a mask on my face alone in a room I can do that at home. Plus my friend who was left alone was having her first facial, so what if she had a adverse reaction? She laid there wondering what is going on? But can you imagine if the esthetician was, ok see you in 20 MINUTES. SO IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A FACIAL WHERE YOU ARE NOT LEFT ALONE DONT GO HERE!!!! Having been a esthetician and had many treatments at spas while you are masking the professional should be working on you messaging something unless it's a clinical treatment. I don't usually do YELP reviews but I was left speechless. Plus the esthetician did not even analyze our skin. She just asked both of us what our concerns were. I know mine because I know my skin type and used to work with EMINENCE but my friend is not a trained professional. So why is the professional going off what she says then leaving the room to get the necessary products and returning to start the treatment without once looking at her skin or even feeling it??? What are we paying for? Plus my friend thought she had oily skin and I let her her know that she does not. I must say though the massage we had by the therapist was wonderful. She had a great touch and it was very relaxing. I believe her name is Kimberly. She was great. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. Too bad it was ruined by bad protocol for the FACIAL. read more

I went there this past Saturday with my girlfriend for a pedicure and massage....everyone was great. From the moment we walked in to the moment with left the tech's were great. Reception was friendly, the nail tech's were great, and the massage therapists was excellent. Everyone was very attentive to our needs. I would go back for other services as well! read more

I like to try out many different spas to see how good they are and this was my first time at Wellness Within (St. Albert) and I was quite impressed! Decided to try the luxury pedicure - the leg massage was great, the shaping was well done (no weird angles, nice and smooth), cuticles were removed appropriately (no nicks or cuts), and I love my coral coloured nails. Also the parrafin was just the right temperature - not the typical burn the skin off your legs! This spa is going to be a keeper for me...look forward to trying the other services! read more

I had been to Wellness Within when they were still in their west end location for massages so I thought I would try the spa at their new location. I wish I had made a different choice. The receptionist was very friendly and greeted me right away and the lady doing my pedicure came out and also greeted me right away which was a nice change. While she was filing my nails, I got a sharp pain in two of my toes and they stung pretty bad during the rest of the service. When I got home, I found that I had two rather large cuts on the tips of my big toe and toe right beside it. I had to bandage my very red and swollen toes for 3 days for three days before I could get my shoes on without them hurting. Thank goodness for polysporin so that they didn't get infected. I work a desk job so I sit at a desk all day and don't do any sports. I got my pedicure on Saturday morning and by Tuesday morning, 90% of the nail polish was gone off of one of my feet and every toe on my other foot was already chipped. I contacted the spa with concerns about my nail polish coming off so fast and to mention the cuts on my toes. That was a few days ago and I stil haven't received a response. For the price you pay for a pedicure, I'd expect the nailpolish to stay on longer (it usually lasts a couple months when I get other pedicures done elsewhere) or at least for the spa to call/email you back when you have concerns. Despite that the leg massage that I received was wonderful, I will never return to this spa and will not be recommending it to any of my friends. They obviously do not take e]client concerns seriously and I can go elsewhere and pay the same price and get way better service. read more
