I wasn't sure how I would feel about this spot since I am more of a ~zen spa gal~ and this feels like more of a masculine/athletic vibe, but I LOVED it.
I did the classic rotation, starting with compression. Laid on a big couch and got to choose a body part to focus on (I forget the options- I did hips). I spent 15 min with the compression machine on, playing on my phone and chilling. It is a lot of pressure and can feel like kind of a squeeze, but they offer a remote to change your pressure settings or pause if needed. I went from a 3 to a 5, then back down to 4. The experience was nice because I got to lay around on my phone, but my hops actually felt SO much better like an hour after. I was surprised!
Next I hit the sauna, and got 2 options for heat (about 10 degrees apart). Went into the slightly cooler one, but still hot. They send you in with a 25 min timer and a towel, and you can go in and out for water as much as you want. They kind of let you do your own thing, but do check here and there to make sure you are okay or see if you want to move to the next thing.
I was nervous about cryotherapy! I don't like cold plunging and have seen some things on tv, so it seemed a little scary. The employee was super encouraging and hyped me up! I ended up staying in the full 3 minutes. It was actually kind of fun- they let you listen to music (I listened to my book) as a distraction and there is a little light bar that shows how long you have been in. And you can exit any time!
The red light was last and probably my fave. I loved getting to just meditate and relax for 15 min- it was good practice for my squirrel brain.
Each individual cycle is nice, but the whole combo feels AMAZING! I left with so much energy and felt so decompressed and peaceful. I can't wait to come back.
Some tips- each thing requires varying levels of clothes, and there are cubbies and changing rooms. I was fully clothed in thin workout clothes for compression (don't want to wear anything thick like jeans or a jacket), changed into a swimsuit for the sauna (you share the space so being nude is prob not allowed), they require socks, shoes, pants, and a shirt for cryo (and provided gloves!). Red light I went in nude so it would hit my whole body, since that is the one part where you are in a private space with a locked door!~
Bring water :) I might bring a book next time since it is more sauna friendly than a phone. read more
