Coach Tony is amazing. He is very friendly, down to earth and welcoming. He gives fantastic, quality sport-Deep Tissue-Stretch massages. I’ve been able to perform better in my cross fit training after his massages. Highly recommend.

I have gone here many times and each time I walk away feel invigorated. Anthony really knows how to give a deep tissue massage like no other. When I arrive we chat for a bit - a good way for me to make the transition from the outside world to the massage I am about to receive. He always asks if there are any areas that I need extra work on and listens to what I have to say. To top it off, his prices are very reasonable and often he has specials you can get. Highly recommended.

I've been to many massage therapists in the past and Anthony from Energize Sports Massage is the best! I've been going to Energize Massage for several years now. I'm a triathlete, runner, and a crossfitter and my body is sore all the time. After a session with Anthony I feel energized and ready to tackle the next workout. He knows what he is doing. He is my go to guy. His prices are also reasonable and he runs special deals all the time.

OMG, What a hidden gem in Edgewater for serious Cross Fit athlete in training seeking the real deal in Deep Tissue-Trigger Point therapy.
I had to write this review today not just to give Tony & Energize Sports Massage High marks on their Professionalism, Unique on hands approached , therapeutic service, but high marks on Sports-Cross Fit knowledge on the male athlete in physical training & healing maintenance of the body. In the Naval Academy we are taught, How you approach a situation as an adult is how the situation will treat you.I have been going to Energize since 2014 during my training at Great Lakes Naval Training Base and should have written this earlier. I have had many massages in the past and was looking for a local place to get a professional deep tissue massage therapist and found Energize Sports Massage. The conversation over the phone was, [ YES , I actually called not Text} I got into detail on my needs/ lower back, quads, hamstring issues. He answered every question I had to make me more relax on making a reservation. When you arrive, at his office studio, Alex, greets you warmly and sits with you before the massage to talk and for you to relax. It's a nice transition from the hectic world of naval active stress training to the zen you will be in shortly. He has a separate room with his studio. With the right therapeutic music playing in the background to thoroughly de stress you, Rates are very very reasonable compared to other Chicago north side-North Shore Chicago therapist.I always go for his 90 minute Sports- Trigger Point-stretch massage and am never disappointed. He thoroughly worked on my back and gets deep in that the muscles to remove any knots I have. The leg stretching is amazing. I always leave feeling so relaxed and my muscles are saying 'thank you'. Final Comment.I find the rates very fair , Very knowledgeable on sports, sports injuries and treatment, being a former athlete he knows the male body. The pressure just enough to remove those knotted areas but never in extra pain. He always communicate with you the very first session. - I feel that the massage I get is more personalized to my body. Highly recommended

Very serious Cross fit-Body Sculpture muscular athlete in competitive training. I have serious tightness issues with my shoulders, neck, traps, scapular blade & lower back/Sciatic nerve muscle. I have been seeking a Pro therapist with strong fingers who could dig in that muscle, trigger point-Myofascial therapy all the above issues.I was in search of a more intense pressure trigger point to get into that muscle & rid my stress knots, I wanted my lower back, I T bands/ hip flexors, calves worked on I spoke to Alex over the phone, gave him details what I seek, , The session was excellent, total professional, his knowledge on my issues, understanding and attacking my muscle pain was on point. After wards, he goes over the massage treatment, wants feedback and gives advice on stretch exercise to improve/strengthen those issues to improve.
I Highly Recommend His athletic 90 min. Hot Oil Trigger Point-Deep Tissue No nonsense Massage Combo. Pressure totally excellent, His Trigger point-My God, he got all those knots out, the elbow on my hamstrings & calves superb.
I am a 6'4-250lb person, He body stretch me like on one has ever done. To get my back to cracked, My God, I was 100% satisfied after that session and have been a regular..
TOTALLY RECOMMEND COACH TONY
