I visited this morning for some much needed self care for my coming birthday. Booking an appointment was very easy, when I called the spa, staff answered all of my questions and provided appropriate recommendations. I arrived and was given the tour. This is a small facility located in a bustling shopping center with several other spas on the strip. I spent a brief 15 minutes in the red light therapy bed. I was then transferred to the LED Sauna room. I was not provided with a robe to change into which was inconvenient. I was told robes would be ordered soon. I booked the spa shower following my 45 minute sauna time. There is 1 shower to use. I enjoyed my time in the sauna. The music was very relaxing and I really worked up a sweat effortlessly. I enjoyed the options of color therapy to choose from. I chose blue to help with creating a sense of calm and red. Once finished I headed to the shower room in my towel. (No spa robes ). Staff failed to check the shower for cleanliness or refilling the shower gel. The Shower Gel was close to empty. Luckily, I came prepared with shower shoes and my own shower gel. The shower drain was full of thick black hair. Apparently someone shampooed their hair previously and didn't clean up after themselves and staff didn't care enough about me as a paying customer to check the shower before I entered. I did not appreciate this. If you can't ensure the shower is presentable, don't offer to customers. When I finished showering I met with staff at the front desk to checkout. At that time, I informed them that the shower gel needs to be refilled. I was not offered a cool beverage when checking out, but asked if I would schedule a return visit. My answer was no. Customer Service and Care needs work here. I will find another business to spend my hard earned money at. read more

the newest trend these days is called biohacking., and Red Light Therapy is one of the modern-day biohacking techniques that has gained a lot of popularity in recent times. I was very fortunate to have found Beem and have been a 'frequent flyer' for them. Since becoming a 'founding' member from the early part of their recruitment, I purchased and unlimited membership, which provides me access to both red light therapy as well as a sauna. Beem has some of the friendliest staff around. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by such great staff such as Abby, Samantha, or the manager Katy (and a few others, who I haven't had the pleasure of getting to know as of yet). They are there to explain all the options that are available for you, and provide you with additional towels as well as a 'wet facecloth' that is very refreshing for after your sessions. These towelettes are soaked in a cucumber based substance (my belief) and provides a great refreshing feeling after sitting in the sauna or getting your red light therapy. Beem is conveniently located off of Tryon Road in the Walmart shopping center. It is a smallish facility from the outside, but inside it is quite spacious. The first room that is on the left side is one of the red light therapy rooms. When you enter, it looks like a 'tanning bed', however it is much cleaner and much easier to use. The staff set a timer for you from the outside, and it 'beeps' half way through to allow you to turn over or just to know that you are half way through the session. These sessions last approximately 15 minutes. Since these are 'infrared' they do provide you with goggles that will block the infrared from your eyes. The amount of infrared that you are receiving is doing your body justice, but not enough to actually harm you. Studies have shown that infrared therapy can help with: Pain relief: Infrared light can help relieve pain and muscle tension by improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Wound healing: Infrared light can help wounds heal faster and promote cell regeneration by increasing blood flow of oxygen-rich blood. Skin health: Infrared light can improve skin complexion and purify skin. I personally started using it for pain relief, as I have shoulder issues. After going here for a few weeks, my shoulders started feeling better and has given me more flexibility. Personally, I like to go into the Sauna afterwards, where I am able to push the temperature up. There are 8 different light settings that are available, which give you different benefits. According to their guide (posted on the window within the sauna), RED: Energy - red brings warmth, energy, and stimulation. Good for fatigue and energizes circulation PINK: Soothing - pink is calming, soothing and eliminates impurities from the blood stream ORANGE - Happiness - orange brings enthusiasm, confidence, joyfulness and assists with digestive health YELLOW: Cheerfulness - yellow stimulates happiness, gives mental clarity, inspires and purifies the skin GREEN: BALANCE - green helps reduce the symptoms of depression, stress, insomnia and helps fight infection TURQUOISE - Uplifting - turquoise rejuvenates the skin, relaxes feelings of stress, and is cleansing to the body BLUE - Calming - blue reduces blood pressure and relieves headaches. Great for relaxing the mind and body VIOLET - Strengthen - violet soothes the nervous systems, improves immunity and inflammation. Inside of these saunas, they also provide you with an IPAD where you can connect to YouTube, watch Netflix, or anything else. I personally use it to find a soothing station on YouTube and listen to the 'Zen' type of music that radiates throughout the sauna. There are also different lighting options where you can make it darker or lighter. (I prefer darkness, so i can try to destress my mind while enjoying the benefits of the heat). When booking your session, you may want to see if the shower is available. they do have 1 shower, and it books up rather quickly. So, if you do plan on going during the day and need to get back to work, this is a great option for you to have. After the sessions are over, they have a small 'snack area' where you can purchase some snacks. There isn't a huge display, but there are some available. Overall, the concept of Beem is fantastic. They have so much to offer and with their unlimited monthly package, it is quite beneficial to utilize it to the max. as noted previously, I'm a 'frequent flyer' and go nearly everyday. I have seen some great benefits from it, as I've had some long lasting ailments and have noticed small changes over the last few weeks that I've been going. If you are not convinced, then try them out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Had a great experience at the new Beem Light Sauna location in Cary. Upon entering, was greeted by friendly front desk staff and checked in. Up front there is the desk as well as a little gift/shop area. For purchase is the LMNT salt mixes - I was pleasantly surprised as my dietitian friend recommends them herself - and other items, as well as water in case you forget to bring. They do have a fountain to refill. She let me know to watch an informative video (more like presentation) on the benefits of the sauna and red light/infrared therapy. You are then able to select your own choices for what you'd like to have improvement in or how you want to leave feeling. I chose Orange for happiness and I will say I did feel lighter afterwards! If I ever go at a later time I'll have to see how the calming or soothing options are for being restful and sleep that night. With the remote in your room as well, you can change the light to any color or choose to have it cycle through all of them during your visit. I had my red light therapy session first which I will say is a good choice since the sauna session I did get a little sweaty. They help to explain that they will give you an extra minute for undressing however much you'd like with the recommendation to do as much as you are comfortable with in order to reap the most benefits from the therapy. The private room looked very clean and orderly, and calming. They also provide a wipe if you have lotion or makeup on your face etc since that may prevent the penetration of the light, as well as optional goggles if the light is too bright for you. I opted for without, but I will say it was pretty bright. There is a beep for halfway through option for you to flip as well during a 15-minute session. The cooling mint towelette they provide in the room for you to use afterwards was so nice and calming as well. For the infrared sauna, these are 40-minute sessions in your own private sauna. They provide an iPad with the ability to log into apps to pass the time, or you can choose to just relax and sweat it out. They also give two extra minutes for undressing in this room, with pretty much the same advice - feel free to undress to your comfort level but as much as possible is best. The first 10 minutes I was thinking I wasn't going to be sweaty but after that it was definitely on... it's not as bright so in this room they don't provide the goggles, just the (almost) freezing cold mint towelette to use after the session, along with plenty of towels in the sauna for using during your session. It was interesting that it was much more comfortable to me than a traditional sauna because I felt less like a claustrophobic-feeling since I could breathe and the air wasn't as heavy. The sauna is small in size but I feel like most will be able to comfortably lounge inside. I can't wait to go back and get my sweat sesh in! read more
