I really enjoyed my private infrared sauna & cold plunge session at pure recovery. The staff were…read morefriendly, the room clean and the amenities, lovely. They provide towels, towel warmer, make-up remover wipes and soap in the shower to rinse off post sauna/plunge. You can also plug in your phone to control the music in the room. I'm looking forward to being able to visit here again. Definitely book the 60 minute session for some serious r&r or multiple rounds of sauna/soak. Minus 1 star for now, as unfortunately the infrared lights were not working in my sauna when I visited. The sauna was still perfectly hot, just no lights. It'll be 5/5 when I return and the lights are back up! Other than that though, really lovely experience.

Pure Recovery is my new obsession. I originally came because…read moremy therapist suggested cold plunging for anxiety and stress--and now I'm hooked. This place is not only beautiful, it feels good to be here. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming; they know me by name and treat me like a friend every time I walk in. I've been going regularly with my husband, and it's become our little wellness ritual. It's helping both of us feel better mentally and physically. And can we talk about the heated towels after the plunge? Total game changer. I also got a B complex shot here and felt amazing after. They offer so many cool services--cryo, compression, contrast therapy, IVs--I'm seriously wanting to try it all. Every visit feels like a reset for my body and mind. And the owner, Lin, is so sweet and down-to-earth. You can tell she's poured so much heart into this place. If you're even thinking about trying cold plunge or anything wellness-related, Pure Recovery is the spot. I'm so grateful I found it!

I couldn't believe how soft, plump & radiant my skin was post-treatment. And the massage was so good, it took a few moments for me to roll myself off the table & maintain my balance while standing.

There was no clear explanation of that on Groupon or in the reviews. I only found out after deep diving online afterward. The machine honestly felt like it did nothing for my body, it felt similar to compression machines you can use at some gyms. For the price, it felt very overpriced and misleading. I was expecting an actual massage by a person, not a machine session. Unfortunately, I would not come back. They also pushed back my appointment by an hour.

The SoCal Hyperbaric oxygen chamber is the real deal (hard sided which is what you want... the soft…read moresided versions cannot go. "deep" enough - all the studies have been at 2.0) to speed up the body's healing process by increasing oxygen absorption up to 35%. This was what I needed after my reconstruction surgery. I was on cancer drugs, that slowed down my cell turnover, so my healing process would be slowed down. Also, the reconstruction was done with analogous tissue, which meant that my body would have to create more blood vessels in the new tissue, Solid Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers do these things. Not to mention, after radiation, my skin and tissue was thicker and wouldn't stretch. Again, Hyperbaric Chamber helped cell turnover to rejuvenate that skin. After ungracefully climbing into the chamber and lying down, Jon, Leslie and Theresa made sure I was comfortable and had a pillow, a bolster, some water and some chewing gum. Next they "locked me in" and Jon stayed nearby - watching me (off and on ) through the window. He was close by all of the time I was in the unit, but especially as the chamber was slowly pressurized (as if we were going down under the sea.) The increased air pressure became three times more than normal. This is what you want to press the Oxygen into your tissues. The team at SoCal Hyperbaric, oxygen, make you feel so safe, you can't help but relax and be comfortable. I needed to yawn, drink the water into the gum they that provided to unpop my ears. Once the air pressure stopped changing, I didn't have any more - all felt normal. Above my head, a light for the chamber was dimmed so I could rest or watch the movie I requested. Surprisingly, I didn't feel claustrophobic but it was mildly scary (the first time anyway) knowing I couldn't let myself out but had to trust that someone would come and release me. Luckily, it was easy to trust Jon, Lesley and Teresa. You could tell that the owner, Raffy Elkayam, took great care in hiring his employees. Jon used to be a paramedic. And Raffi got into the business because of his own health needs, so he gets it. Everyone there has integrity, so there's no funny business of trying to give you less of a percentage of oxygen or extra charges after you've started. One time, Teresa felt my sinuses might have issues because of allergies, and canceled/rescheduled my session at no charge. Everything is on the up and up here, and you can feel secure spending your money at this business. In the end of my first visit, Jon gradually decreased the pressure, and opened up the "Vault". I felt slightly light-headed when I came out but energized, too. Jon told me some people step out feeling like they'd had several cups of coffee, while others feel a more subtle, sustained level of energy. I certainly felt good, less tired than I had since before the surgery, and I slept very well that night. When I went to see my surgeon, his whole team was surprised by my quick healing. They said my stitches were mending twice as fast as they would've expected! That was music to my ears. If you're thinking about doing hyperbaric, oxygen chambers, I suggest SoCal hyperbaric oxygen on Ventura Boulevard is the best!

They were all…read morevery knowledgeable, patient, helpful and accommodating when I weak and recovering from a huge surgery. They were always very attentive and willing to help. They always made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed before going in to the chamber. They offered all kinds of gum, water, personal lighting preferences, extra pillows & blankets and a tablet for entertainment. The chambers are nice, clean and comfy, and had more than enough pillows and blankets to fall asleep during my Netflix/HBO max shows! They get pretty booked so book in advance or let them know to put you on the waitlist for a cancellation opening- that always got me in with my crazy schedule. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING HERE! Thanks team!!

I booked myself a lunch-time cold water plunge a couple of months ago (maybe less?). It was a…read morelovely experience. The whole facility was clean and stylish. The interior was much more open than I was expecting (not visible from outside the suite/building) but the sauna and the ice bath room had fairly large windows. I didn't mind, myself, but if others were there it could cause concern if they wanted to be naked for their sessions. I had a great time in the cold plunge area, which was kept a little warm by the heat coming off of the unit used to cool the water. The tub was large enough for most people. I wish the water was a little bit deeper or the tub a bit taller, as I was lying on my back and had to use the back of my head and my toes to hold myself underwater, it was just a more awkward position than I'd have liked for cold plunges (I'd only ever done a cold plunge in a 50F swimming pool, so being in a comparably smaller tub was new). The woman at the desk was great and showed me around before my session. They have memberships as well as combos which are a pretty good value.
