BOOK MY BEAT ME UP MASSAGEWHAT MAKES THE BEAT ME UP MASSAGE DIFFERENT?
The Beat Me Up Massage is 60 minutes of strong, deep tissue work, aimed right at the place you've been carrying it.
Because let's face it, a lot of people don't get massages until when the pain hurts.
By then you've been carrying it for weeks. Sometimes for years.
Maybe you're a desk worker, and your neck has been tight for so long you've stopped noticing it.
Maybe you're a hardworking mom, and there's never an hour when nobody needs something from you.
Or you own a business, and your mind is constantly spinning.
You keep saying you'll book a massage. Then you finally look...
And the places you know are booked out for weeks.
Or you do find an opening, and it feels nice for an hour, and the knots are right where they were.
None of that means you've done anything wrong. It's life. It's kids. It's the normal daily obligations that turn into stress.
But that stress builds up in your muscles over the years, and another light massage isn't going to reach it.
That's where we come in.
The Beat Me Up Method is the way we work at Alpha, and with it you get:
- Strong, deep pressure that goes after the accumulated stress you came in with, instead of skating over it...
- A therapist who works from where it hurts, so you don't have to direct the whole session...
- Pressure you control the entire time, adjusted during the massage, from light to deep...
- A zen, inviting studio where your mind starts to slow down before the massage even begins...
- Same-day appointments when you book online, so a sore week doesn't have to turn into a sore month...
- Evening and weekend hours, so you can still come in after work...
We're not giving you another hour of soft music and light pressure.
We're not asking you to wait six weeks for an opening while your shoulders get worse.
A lot of massage businesses are just basic, while we are performance based.
Most guests say we are pretty strong. That's the reason this service exists.
We are extremely intuitive and obsessed with helping and healing our guests. So you can show us where it hurts, then stop thinking about it.
And when it's done, you leave looser and calmer, with your mind quiet for once.
Then I want you to come back before it hurts, because it's more work if guests don't get regular massages. When you come regularly, there's less to undo each time.

QUESTIONS GUESTS ASK
"Beat Me Up" sounds intense. Is it going to hurt?+
It's strong, and that's the point. But strong doesn't mean out of control. Your pressure can be adjusted during the session, anywhere from light to deep, and you're the one who decides.
Can I really come in today?+
We have same-day availability. Just book online first, because booking is required before you come in. You'll see the open times on the booking page.
Why is it $180?+
We are premium priced, because it's a luxury environment. You're not paying for an hour on a table. You're paying for strong work that reaches the problem, from a team more than 1,500 guests have rated five stars. The total is $196.25 with sales tax.
Every spa says it's the best. Why Alpha?+
Don't take our word for it. Read what more than 1,500 guests wrote on Google. A lot of massage businesses are just basic, while we are performance based.
It doesn't hurt that much yet. Should I wait?+
Waiting is what makes it harder. Stress builds up over the years, and it's more work if guests don't get regular massages. The sooner you come, the less there is to undo.
I can't justify taking the time for myself.+
Stressed moms that are busy running the household deserve quiet time away from home. Business owners can't keep running on empty either. We all need and deserve a quiet time to relax the mind, body and soul.
When are you open?+
Monday to Thursday 9am to 9pm. Friday and Saturday 8am to 10pm. Sunday 9am to 8pm.

Yes. Gift cards are available through our online booking system.
IS THE BEAT ME UP MASSAGE RIGHT FOR YOU?
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You have real tension in your back, neck and shoulders and you want it worked on properly. If you like strong pressure and you're tired of massages that are too light. If you're a desk worker, a busy mom or a business owner who needs a proper reset. And if you value quality and want to come in soon, not weeks from now.
IT'S NOT FOR YOU IF
You're shopping on price alone, or if you only want a light, gentle massage and nothing more.
