Common questions

How do I check a massage therapist's qualifications?+
Every listing on gymbuddy shows the practitioner's verifiable credentials with a direct link to the public register (REPs, CIMSPA, CSP, ANutr, BACP, Yoga Alliance, etc.). Click the badge to confirm membership in real time.
Do I have to pay gymbuddy to book?+
No. Each listing has a "Visit website" button that takes you straight to the practitioner's own site. We don't take a commission, gate the contact, or run booking. Pricing and payment are between you and them.
What if the website link is broken?+
We auto-check every listing weekly. If a website 404s, the listing is suspended. If you spot a broken or out-of-date link before we do, click "Report this listing" on the profile.
What's a free consult?+
Most massage therapists offer a 15-30 minute first call with no charge — a fit check, not a session. Filter by "free consult" if you want to shortlist only those who offer one.
Sports vs deep tissue — what's the difference?+
Sports massage is technique-based for athletic prep, recovery, and injury — uses trigger-point, MET, and assisted stretching. Deep tissue is pressure-based for chronic muscle tension. A good sports therapist does both.
How much does a massage cost in the UK 2026?+
Mobile or home-clinic: £45-65/hour. London salon: £70-110/hour. Specialist (sports, lymphatic, hot stone): £80-130/hour. Some therapists run 30-min packages or monthly subscriptions.
