About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This gym's core experience centers on virtually instructed workouts within private infrared sauna rooms. Gym members specifically seek out the intense heat of the infrared saunas, which creates a more demanding workout environment and is noted for promoting extra calorie burn. The infrared energy is credited with allowing the body to move and stretch in unique ways that other workouts cannot. Some members report significant recovery benefits, including reduced pain, with one member noting zero pain in their SI joint after a back fracture following consistent attendance.
Atmosphere
The gym cultivates a positive, encouraging, and welcoming workout environment. Members describe it as a place where they feel comfortable and in their own space, which is particularly valued by those who find traditional gyms intimidating. The atmosphere is noted for being energetic and flexible, catering to a variety of schedules with 24/7 access.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed, with many members praising the team for being amazing, kind, patient, and going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Specific staff members like Katie are highlighted for providing thorough tours and explanations. However, one detailed account describes an unpleasant experience with a team member who was reluctant to process a membership cancellation within a contractual 3-day window, leading to feelings of manipulation.
Additional Amenities
The primary amenity is the range of virtually instructed classes available within the sauna rooms, including hot yoga, Pilates, and cycling. The gym provides mats and towels for member use. A notable point of feedback is that the facility has only one functional bathroom, as another has been out of order for an extended period.
