Massage Envy Secures Top Spot in 2026 Newsweek Readers' Choice Awards

This recognition underscores the brand's shift toward personalized whole-body wellness. According to CEO Todd Schrader, the award serves as a direct validation of the efforts made by estheticians, massage therapists, and stretch providers across the company's network. Since its inception in 2002, the franchise collective has facilitated over 240 million individual service sessions, aiming to integrate regular self-care into the daily routines of its members.

Operating in 49 states, the network functions through independent franchise owners rather than centralized corporate management. This model has allowed the brand to scale its massage, skin care, and assisted stretch offerings nationwide. The full results of the 2026 Newsweek survey are currently published on the outlet’s digital platform.
