About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This 24-hour infrared fitness studio provides gym members with access to virtually instructed workouts within private infrared saunas. The infrared sauna experience is a central feature, with members noting its numerous health benefits, including physical, metabolic, mental, and cognitive advantages. The intense heat is particularly appreciated on cold days, and some members credit it with helping to control blood pressure. The sauna facilities are consistently described as very clean, with members disinfecting their private sauna after every use. The heat is noted to increase metabolic rate, though some members caution that the associated calorie burn may be modest. The primary offering combines hot exercise with the sauna environment, which many find to be an effective time-saver and a welcome alternative to regular gym routines.
Atmosphere
The studio is described as very clean and organized, and it is not usually overcrowded during popular visiting times. Members appreciate the warm and accommodating environment created by the staff. The facility's 24/7 access provides significant convenience, allowing for workouts at any time of day.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed, with many members finding them to be friendly, welcoming, and involved. Specific staff members Mallory and Nadia are noted for creating a warm environment for every patron. However, one critical review mentions an issue where concerns from women about privacy and comfort during sauna hours were reportedly ignored.
Additional Amenities
The gym's main amenity is its variety of virtually instructed workout classes conducted within the private infrared saunas. There is a decent selection of exercise types, though some members note the virtual instruction quality varies and wish videos were updated more frequently. The workouts emphasize isometric holds and are typically short in duration (15 or 30 minutes), leading some members to complete multiple sessions per visit.
