Oil massage offered by male athlete in Hemel Hempstead. I’ve had a million and one massages over the years as an athlete and I try and offer what I would seek in order to get one working optimally again. Sports massage can sometimes leave you feeling a bit beaten up, whereas Swedish can sometimes feel like you have no improvement! My style is therefore to combine an element of both, dependent on the body part. What is required for the knots in your back is very different to the tired feeling in your legs for example.

I have my own personal training gym as well if that is of interest but the massage room has it’s own room in the house. As well as the room, the massage table itself is heated enabling you to relax and leave satisfied and rejuvenated.

Gumtree are a little odd and don’t allow me to post an image of myself despite it usually being the first question asked! I’m an ex track sprinter, powerlifter and sprint rower if that helps!

I dare say you have a few questions and I’ll try and answer a few of the more obvious ones. I use Coconut oil, removed at the conclusion. It’s odourless and doesn’t stain, but do say if you have an allergy to coconuts. Massages are usually done clothing free as oil tends to rot garments, but you have to be comfortable. I have seen it all before and I move to Japan in about 9 months time where birthday suits are the norms in Onsens. I’ll assume a degree of understanding but feel free to discuss with me. No judgement here.

I charge £65 for an hour or £40 for half an hour. I take £10 on a card initially (Sumup -they process £6bn worth of card transactions annually) and the balance is due in either cash or card. I appreciate some of you will insist on cash only, but, this is my business and I’m afraid I’m plagued by a lot of bogus people. The card payment acts as a form of ID and generally people turn up for their appointment if they have paid an initial payment. This is not negotiable.

Alas, I have the Long Covid, the fatigue pattern means mornings are out. If you leave me a message at 7am looking for an appointment that day, you’ll need to be very lucky. I have a gym business so the best times are usually mid-afternoon or late evening when the gym is finished (up to midnight). However, if you call and ask am I free in 10 minutes times, you’ll spike my normally low resting heart rate! I’ll probably drop the dumbbell and walk over to the diary before I say no, and offer an alternative time. If you give me a few hours notice, the chances are I’ll be waiting for you at the agreed time in a warm room. If you give me 10 minutes notice, I’ll probably pass and carry on eating my dinner uninterrupted with no heart murmurs.

I don’t appreciate prejudice in any form so all are welcome – black, white, man, woman, old, young, tory, labour, gay, straight – or any of the spectrums in-between.

There is parking on the road or a dedicated parking space at the gym next to my car. That is only 25 meters from the front door. I look forward to welcoming you. You can get in touch via the gumtree message system but it would be much easier to call or whatsapp the number listed on the ad, otherwise responses will be somewhat delayed!
