Cold Plunge & Sauna

This 24-hour infrared fitness studio provides gym members with private infrared sauna rooms for virtually instructed workouts. The infrared sauna experience is central to the offering, with members noting significant post-workout recovery benefits, reduced muscle soreness, and improved flexibility from sessions like HOT STRETCH. The sauna facilities are consistently described as clean, and members appreciate the ability to occasionally secure a private sauna session. The heat from the infrared energy is integral to the workout sessions, which are reported to provide a challenging workout while aiding relaxation and recovery. Some members note that the sauna ceiling height can feel low, and there are occasional issues with noise from adjacent saunas or a loud radio, which can force members to increase their own session volume. A lack of formal sauna etiquette education is mentioned, with some frustration over other members entering a sauna mid-session or adjusting the heat without prior booking.

Staff

Specific staff members, including Emily (the manager), Jared, Daryn, and Michelle, are highlighted by gym members for being professional, incredibly sweet, kind, welcoming, and helpful. Members note that staff are effective in setting up memberships, explaining how to use the app for scheduling, and ensuring guests get the most from their visits. There is, however, mixed feedback regarding communication about membership and cancellation policies from some staff.

Pricing

The gym operates on a membership model. Members should be aware of specific cancellation terms, which include a requirement for 60 days' notice, resulting in a charge for two final months of access, or an immediate cancellation fee of $99. Some members express that these terms can feel misleading if not thoroughly explained at sign-up. There is also a mention of separate charges for towels and mats.

Atmosphere

The studio is consistently noted for being clean. The environment allows for both private workouts and a sense of community, with some members enjoying the social aspect of meeting others. The primary atmosphere is fitness-focused, centered around the infrared sauna workout boxes. Noise levels from adjacent saunas or a common radio can sometimes detract from the experience.
