Lovely hidden oasis. Community days are affordable and such a treat

My community hydrotherapy membership has....kind of been life changing. After every session, I leave feeling like I had a literal therapy session! I can't be more grateful for this space.

Amazing hidden gem, perfect for relaxing

Me and my girlfriend, Danielle, came here on a beautiful Friday for a 6pm-8pm session and we loved the whole experience. What a great time we had. The steam room!! The cold plunge!! The sauna!! The champagne!! The hot tub!!! We met the owner, Liz, and she was a sweetheart. We’ll definitely be back!! This place is a gem 😃

My partner booked me a prenatal massage with Liz, the owner last week. Im approaching my 3rd trimester and have a really high risk pregnancy with quite a few issues. Considering on Liz’s profile she says she’s a trained doula, my husband thought it would be an equally great time to pick her brain about some birthing questions I had/post-natal care related to my pregnancy concerns (potentially even inquiring about her doula services). Now, while Liz was incredibly kind, caring, and offered a wonderful massage, it was clear that she is not a doula. She offered to send me recs for doulas and even insisted she try and contact a doula or midwife friend before my massage to ask about some of my pregnancy complications (all of which a trained doula would have been familiar with). Anyway, this isn’t a bad review by any means, but more about knowing what you’re paying for/expectations. Massage was great, but definitely didn’t leave with any doula knowledge. Just wish her bio was more accurate. Otherwise, beautiful facility and do recommend checking it out.

What a lovely little oasis in Brooklyn. The people were super friendly and accommodating. The space is soothing and smells terrific. I made time for the sauna and hydro pool before my AMAZING massage. The massage with Ben was among the best I've ever had. So thorough with the right mix of pain and pleasure. He's great about checking in during, he addressed the areas that needed work and gave me so much more. I will definitely be back.

really incredible space tucked away in a backyard in gowanus. went to the women-only session on Sunday, vibe was welcoming and warm. Indoor space is very crowded (steam room can only fit 3 and it’s a little cramped) so I didn’t spend too much time in there, but rotating between the dry spas, jacuzzi, and cold plunge was lovely. There are also hammocks and chezs where you can just relax in the sun. overall a lovely experience, but definitely a liiiiiittle cramped.

I visited CityWell Brooklyn for their community hydrotherapy today. It was magical! I loved it- every part of it is well-organized, thoughtful and calm. The team at CityWell go above and beyond. Highly recommend this oasis. I will be back very soon and plan on bringing my partner and friends.

Had a lovely afternoon at women's community soak. Got to meet Liz the owner. Really appreciate all the little touches - oranges, tea, compostable bags to take swim suits home in. Will be back!

A great time to be had

All I can say is, BEN! The best massage I have received in a long time. What qualifies the best massage for me you may be asking? - intuitive and knowledgeable touch - gently checking in with me (perfect amount of communication) to ensure comfort and preferred pressure. - aromatherapy option - attuned to my body’s reactions. -offered hot stones - balance of therapeutic and Swedish massage techniques. - taking the time to ask questions before getting started. - and just overall amazing intuitive technique! Ben did all of this and more. Definitely a very calming and comforting presence that gives you permission to relax on the treatment table. So, if you didn’t gather already, I highly recommend Ben’s services! Oh… one more thing! The spa manager (I think she’s a manager anyway because she thoroughly helped me find my e-gift certificate that I had lost and made things very smooth for me when putting together my appointment. Plus she brought me really refreshing lemon lime water, perfect for after the massage.

Awesome experience - my friends and I had a great time. Thank you to Liz and the team!!

Gentle, caring, professional service will leave you feeling cityWell.

Had been wanting to visit a long time and then was given a gift card so made a reservation. After spending a lot of time looking at the list of services, I settled on the full body luxury massage, a 90 min, full body massage with hot stones. There wasn’t lot of availability in the immediate future that worked with my schedule (needed a weekend) so I had to settle on a date quite far in advance with Sara. By the time that rolled around, a friend had a massage with her and said it was wonderful. I was not let down by the time my date arrived. Sara was wonderful, approachable, communicative, and kind. She took her time to explain certain things and if I had questions, she had answers. It was the most lovely 90mins and I left feeling much better than I had entered and that feeling has stayed with me. She has heat seeking device fingers for all the knots and stuff in my neck and back and truly worked them out with patience and ease. It all felt wonderful. While I was only there for the massage, which took place in the cabin, I did get walked through the space. It’s a very cool concept but I think I’ll just be sticking to massages here and in truth, if I want a bathhouse, I’ll just go to a bathhouse, as I have before. Will come again!

I knew I was going to like cityWell but it was better than I could have imagined! We came during a bachelorette weekend and Liz and Alyssa took amazing care of us. The amenities are amazing and the whole experience was so peaceful and pleasant. We got massages which were great as well. I highly recommend - you can really feel the love that goes into the cityWell experience. I’ll be back as soon as I can!

Feb 06, 2024

I went to the community hours and it was such a lovely experience! I will definitely be back.

Liz was fantastic and was able to squeeze me in for a wonderful massage day of! Excellent customer service, great lounge area and a clean & relaxing environment. 10/10 highly recommend!

Lovely little spa getaway in the city. I went here for an anniversary back in 2021 and did one of their packages. It was so lovely and amazing! It snowed the day before, so while we did the outdoor hottub, we were surrounded by snow and it was just us the entire time. Service was great. I highly recommend :)

My daughter and i shared a hydrotherapy session, and left in a state of bliss. The backyard at cityWell inspired us and provided the perfect background for our escape to the land of rejuvenation. It’s unexpected to stumble upon a hot tub, sauna, outdoor shower, hammock, and fresh fruit in such a nondescript location. I recommend the clay mask, which was soothing, even for sensitive skin. My daughter gives it 10 out of 10 stars, as do I. We did not get a massage, but imagine it would be extra blissful. If you are looking for a relaxing experience that will calm the nervous system, this may be just the place for you.

Spa is a perfect place to relax and recharge after a long week. The serenity of the surroundings, combined with the skilled hands of the therapists, make for a truly rejuvenating experience. Whether you’re looking for a deep tissue massage or simply want to unwind in the sauna, this spa has something for everyone.

WOW!!! What can I say that hasn't already been said by all these amazing reviews! I spoke with Liz (who was so warm and lovely on the first call) to book the couple's Staycation package for my 1 year marriage anniversary with my wife. In true Man fashion, I only called 2 weeks in advance, which for a place like this I was sure would be too short notice. But Liz and her team made it work and squeezed us into the schedule on our anniversary day. I was so excited leading up to the day of the experience, as it was a surprise to my wife as well. When we arrived Liz and her team (shout out to Alyssa, Jae, Sarah!) were so warm and welcoming, and explained how the experience works. It's important to note that my wife and I only get massages on vacations, which is barely once a year, and never really do anything in the realm of 'relaxing' experiences, so we were newbies to how this all worked. We were given comfy slippers and a tour of the facilities, which include rain showers, steam room, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, hammock, lounge area, and a variety of hot/cold drinks (tea and infused water) and snacks (strawberries, nuts, etc). We spent the bulk of the first 2 hours enjoying the steam room and hot tub. We could only last in the sauna about 3-4 minutes! And then lounging in the sun on the nice wooden loungers. Instead of fully relaxing, we may have talked shop and work the whole time...oops. Liz said if that's what we find relaxing then it's ok (thanks for understanding, Liz!). We applied the clay mask to each other (very romantic) and wife pointed out how my non-use of sunscreen has been affecting my face. We had the whole place to ourselves and it felt like a private oasis. I was wondering if you'd feel strange being essentially in the backyard of a townhouse, but it felt so private and peaceful that it didn't bother me at all. When it came time for the hour-long hot stone massage, we took a quick rinse and laid under the pergola, ready for Liz and Sara's magic hands. They are STRONG! We both felt like jello after, having all our stress melted away (I think Sara called it 'steamrolled' which is hilarious). It lightly rained during the massage, and since the pergola was covered, we didn't get wet and the sounds were an amazing experience. All in all, a truly wonderful experience and I am so happy I found cityWell Brooklyn. Thank you from me and Tiff for being part of our special day. We will definitely be back before the next anniversary!

Guys have attitude

I always love visiting CityWell! They’re kind and easygoing, and taught me to spin the towel while in the sauna to bring the heat down when it’s stuck at the top. I appreciate the community hours!

I came here for a self-care day after the death of a close friend, and CityWell was absolutely wonderful to me. Had a 30 min soak and sauna (not sure if I paid for private, but it was, which was amazing!!) and a 75 min massage with Beth. Everything was so peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend.
