    Compression Therapy using the Normatec Boots
    Krista M.

    I had the opportunity to check out Pause South Bay a month or so ago. Pause is an experiential wellness studio created for mental regeneration and physical recovery and they definitely knocked it out of the park during my visit! I pass by the location in The Point all the time and have been super curious about it so I finally made an appointment to try the Compression Therapy using the Normatec boots. Normatec uses dynamic air compression to create a restorative massage that helps you feel refreshed faster The employee working the front desk on the day of my visit was so friendly and accommodating. Even though I have only had one Compression Therapy session thus far, I honestly felt improved mobility and less soreness/reduced pain. I had scheduled my session right after a 10k race that I did and I'm so glad, the timing was perfect! I was also offered tea during my session which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Such a nice touch :-) Other services at Pause include contrast therapy, float tanks, iv therapy, cryotherapy, LED light therapy, etc. The wellness studio is really relaxing and tranquil. I hope to check out more of the services offered at Pause in the near future. If you're on the fence about booking a service here, pull the trigger and book today!

    Pause is a wellness studio that offers different experiences and services. Pricing varies by the time duration and amount of people. I do love that you can have a solo recharge or make it an experience with a friend or loved one. The front desk staff at this location is friendly, helpful, and attentive providing details and making sure you're comfortable. The studio is very clean and has a calming vibe. Both times that I've been here have been an incredible time. I've done the float therapy and contrast therapy (sauna + cold plunge) which offer different health benefits. I left feeling rejuvenated with less stress and a calmer blissful energy. Perfect to do for yourself or gift to someone as well! Excited to come back for more moments of pause. There's plenty of complimentary parking and shops and restaurants around the area as well if you want to walk around before or after.

    I highly recommend Pause if you're looking to decompress and do some self-care. The sauna, cold plunge, and cryotherapy were all relaxing and left me feeling recharged. It truly felt like a rewarding self-care session. Nikole is awesome and attentive as well as her staff. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and recharge!

    Best place to head over after a workout and use the sauna/cold plunge! Chloe, Nicole, and Dani are always so helpful and attentive, please check them out!

    Float pod - definitely do 60min

    So rejuvenating - feeling completely restored & like a new person after my 60-min contrast therapy session (sauna + cold plunge). I came out feeling refreshed & re-energized, even though I had started the day fatigued & a little grumpy. This was an even more special visit because the contrast therapy suite is spacious & private enough to do together with a friend. Pause is a luxurious space with such a calm & relaxing ambience - I immediately felt my stress start to melt away even just walking in. The staff is friendly & helpful, there are additional amenities & numerous wellness products for purchase that one might like to accompany their session with or take home, and we got all the advanced info we needed to have a smooth trip (like you can do the sauna & plunge with a swimsuit or without - it's all up to your comfort level). I can't wait to come back again & again!

    I love this studio! It is the best part of my week and coming here seeing all the friendly faces is amazing . 100000/10 DANI is the best she is so friendly and she loves being here you can tell

Admission: - $30 Pool Temps (3): - Hot (Jacuzzi)(107°F) - Warm (Jacuzzi)(104°F) - Cold Plunge (58°F) Body Scrub: $40 + Admission Overall Impression: When I first reviewed this place 11 years ago, I gave it a 3/5, as the offerings and condition were reasonable for the $15 price at the time. I'm dropping it down to 2 now, because the condition of the facility has only decreased since then, while the price has doubled. They should either drop the price down to $20, or put some money into renovations which it desperately needs. When WiSpa is $40, this place just can't justify charging $30. One other oddity I experienced - I got a body scrub on this most recent visit and the guy who did the scrub demanded a tip right after the service, before I was ready to leave. I told him I needed to dry off and he insisted I walk into the locker room dripping water all over the floor to get him a tip. I thought maybe his shift was over and he wanted it before he left, but no.... he was still there 40 mins later when I was done and ready to leave. Very odd and annoying interaction.

Much better.

Relatively clean for the most part but from pictures I have seen from the other reviews, some of the weights are a little banged up. I am okay with this as long as it doesn't fall apart on me and the gym is kept clean, particularly the showers.

I asked Rico if I could work in on the squat rack while he was doing a circuit of 4 exercises where 3 exercises were off of the squat rack. He told me no and threatened me saying that he knew I was the one who complained about him and he "DOESN'T CARE WHAT MANAGEMENT SAYS". For being 65 years old you would think he'd be more respectful of people and the rules of the place he works at. I'm not sure if there are different rules at the other gyms he trains people at, but I would expect he would follow Equinox's rules. **Update - Today I asked again to work in Rico on the squat rack and he again said no. He said he had 2 back to back clients where he was going to use the squat rack and I couldn't use it. He told me that the Equinox VP says he doesn't have to let anyone work in with him. He then threatened to get my membership revoked today and proceeded to call me childish for asking to work in. Rico proceeded to hog the platform squat rack for over an hour even though he was done using it with his 1st client so I couldn't squat on it. I don't understand why he's the ONLY Personal Trainer I've had threaten me multiple times and not let other paying members use equipment during busy times.
