Even after reading the mixed reviews I decided I would give Health Connections a try realizing that it just may not be a fit for those who sent in negative reviews. Unfortunately, I was wrong. \r

I was really disappointed with my experience at Health Connections. First, the facility was unsanitary. Being as though it is a Health Center I was SHOCKED to see there was a mouse running around in the receptionist area and that restroom trashcans looked as though they had gone a day or two without being emptied. The area rug in the receptionist area was in need of vacuuming and the floors througout needed to be swept. In short, Health Connections would greatly benefit from a cleaning service. \r

Health Connections website guarantees a 6-20 inch loss after your first body wrap session. I am average weight (130) for my 5'5' frame but losing six inches over your entire body is not a lot so I didn't think the boast was unreasonable. However, the room I was placed in never reached the 100 degrees I was told it would and this was probably because to my utter surprise it was only heated with a space heater!! ( I couldn't make this stuff up). \r

Before I was wrapped I was measured and the measurements were accurate to the measurements I had made on my own at home. AFTER the wrap however, the tape measure was pulled snuggly against my body (evening pinching in some parts) to GUARANTEE ""at least"" a six inch loss. Once Helen left the room I remeasured myself with the tape measure she had left on the table. Needless to say the measurements did not match those that Helen had reported.\r

I was more disappointed by this dishonesty than anything as Helen was an otherwise informative and pleasant technician. I could not with a good conscience recommend Health Connections to anyone.
