I know I've been on here before to plug BBB because I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place, I can't say it enough. I purchased a 6 month membership because I was using their wet lounge so much! Another fab perk to going to this spa is Client Appreciation Week July 13 - 19 - they'll have $60 facials and massages!

I attended an event at Body by Brooklyn about a week and a half ago, and was pleased with the arrangement and the size of the space there. We had a rather large group, but on a week night it was perfect - not too many other people there to cramp our space. A few of us got massages, and LOVED the therapists. And what's better than sipping a cocktail while relaxing in the jacuzzi? A little out of the way for me, but definitely worth a regular visit.

I would honestly like to know the name of the company that handles the PR for this spa so I could hire them for my own company. They are on every blog and review in the city but sadly don't come even close to living up to the rep. I read about them on City search where they had some good reviews then read about them again on the Clinton Hill Foodie website. These tow sites painted vastly different pictures of this spa. I thought the foodie review was nothing more than a few x employees crying sour grapes so I decided to give them a try. BIG mistake! One of the worst experiences I've ever had. There are many spas out there that are deserving of our business. This place is sadly not one of them. Beware

I have been to Body by Brooklyn a lot of times and they have never charged me for coffee refill or hot water?! (as someone said before). Staff is very friendly and helpful. I love their wet lounge with a jacuzzi and Lorenzo - the best massage therapist.

I recently went to Body by Brooklyn for the Spa Brunch. The staff seemed completely unorganized. The brunch was meager and mediocre at best and what was worse, they did not give refills on coffee and even attempted to charge for hot water refill, with the same tea bag!! Never once did the bar/restaurant staff ask if we wanted anything, we had to endure irritating banter and ribbing from the bartender, who insisted on calling the women of our group "young lady." There was one nice guy. He had long hair and actually offered us water and came back with ice-water with lemon. The steam room wasn't steamy and the staff seemed less than enthused about making it steamy. In fact, the staff was less than enthused about any thing at all. Lets be honest, the place was not booming with business.
