Circle 8 Massage, 3 Briggate, Leeds, LS1 4AE

Established 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.
