DescriptionEstablished in 2014, Circle8 Massage was founded by the current owner whilst working as a Personal Trainer, initially operating from a single treatment room with a modest online presence and appointment booking platform.
Over the past decade the business has experienced substantial growth and development, evolving into an award-winning massage and rehabilitation clinic with a highly loyal client base and an enviable reputation throughout Leeds and the surrounding areas. The business specialises in Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Therapeutic Treatments, Injury Rehabilitation and Exercise Prescription, serving a broad client demographic ranging from office workers and fitness enthusiasts through to amateur and competitive athletes.
Today, Circle8 Massage benefits from an experienced and longstanding team of self-employed therapists, many of whom have been associated with the business for several years.
This contractor-led structure provides operational flexibility whilst maintaining a highly efficient and scalable business model. The business has built a strong reputation for service quality and clinical outcomes, reflected in its exceptional online presence.
Circle8 Massage boasts more than 4,000 verified client reviews on Treatwell with a perfect 5.0/5 rating, alongside a 4.9/5 Google rating. Furthermore, the business has received multiple Treatwell Top Rated Awards since 2017 and has provided massage and wellbeing services for a variety of corporate events, including assignments undertaken for Sky Bet.
Approximately 70% of appointments are generated from returning clients, demonstrating the strength of the relationships established with customers and the consistency of service delivered by the therapist team.
LocationCircle8 Massage occupies a prime position within Leeds city centre, just a short walk from Leeds Railway Station and surrounded by a mix of offices, retail outlets, restaurants, bars and residential developments.
The business benefits from excellent transport links, with convenient access to local bus routes, major road networks and public parking facilities, making it easily accessible for clients travelling from across Leeds, West Yorkshire and the wider region.
Internal DetailsThe accommodation is arranged to provide multiple treatment rooms together with reception, waiting and ancillary areas including a dedicated rehabilitation area, creating a professional and welcoming environment for both new and existing clients.
The photographs included within this brochure show gym equipment located within the rehabilitation area. Please note that this equipment has only recently been relocated to another floor within the building and is no longer situated within the treatment space itself. The business continues to enjoy a strong relationship with the gym operation and receives regular ongoing referrals from gym members and users, providing a consistent source of new client enquiries and supporting the continued growth of the practice.
The premises are situated within a characterful building dating back to the mid-19th century, historically having operated as a stationery and parchment retailer.
The property successfully combines traditional character with modern treatment facilities and has been adapted to suit the operational requirements of a busy therapy and rehabilitation practice.
The layout has proven highly effective for the current business model and provides a comfortable and professional environment from which the business continues to flourish.

Situated adjacent to a well-established gym facility, the premises benefit from a consistent stream of client referrals that complement the services offered by the business. The property is professionally presented and features prominent signage, enhancing its visibility to both passing pedestrians and potential customers. The central location benefits from excellent transport links, including easy access to Leeds Railway Station, local bus routes and nearby parking facilities, making the business readily accessible to clients travelling from across Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire region.
The surrounding area attracts a diverse mix of professionals, residents and visitors, providing a strong customer catchment and supporting the continued success and future growth potential of the business.
