For contrast therapy, the gym offers multiple cold plunge tubs and ice baths, which members frequently pair with sauna sessions. The amenities also include a Himalayan salt room with red light therapy, and a separate red light therapy room. The cleanliness and quality of these recovery facilities are consistently praised.
Atmosphere

The atmosphere is enhanced by an open-air design with ocean views from the workout and stretching areas, contributing to an uplifting and enjoyable fitness experience.
Pricing
Membership options and a daily drop-in fee are available. Visitors mention a $35 daily pass, and a $125 weekly membership for visitors is noted as a good deal.
