    Pause is my happy place! I started going to their Culver City location over 7 years ago and the prices have almost doubled since then since the wellness industry has absolutely blown up, but I can justify just about any wellness/naturopathic activity. The infrared sauna is my go to, and I've also used their float tank and get IV drips occasionally for immune system, travel, or when I'm needing an energy boost. I was using the sauna so frequently I ended up purchasing my own sauna blanket at home but I still pop in here occasionally because I love the experience. The vibe, experience and aesthetic is so calming and grounding and their staff is always super friendly. This location is newer and a bit nicer than their OG culver spot but I do love them all. I'd definitely recommend popping in here, but just know it's not a low-end fad pricing location like a number of other spots in LA.

    Compression Therapy using the Normatec Boots

    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!

    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!

    Cold plungeeee

    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!

I've continued to go because they opened one so close to where I live, I love being able to walk two blocks to get treatments. But unfortunately, it just seems as though I'm too often having issues. I have a few other Med Spas I go to, they treat me great, I get my treatments, we have friendly chatter, and I walk out with this huge glow of self-love. I believe at Medspas it's not just about the treatments you receive, it's about how you feel in the process. It's about the whole experience of doing something beautiful for yourself, bettering your health, and being treated with lovely vibes as well. You should leave feeling good inside out. But too many times I have walked out of Pause feeling crappy or stressed. Some days are amazing. But other days an employee is rude or snooty, or their systems are either not well organized, or very confusing for their employees. A couple of times I've been told that I have credits on my account, just to be told that I don't later. It just feels like when I walk into Pause, I don't know what to expect. Will I get one of their beautiful, vibrant associates...or one with a bad attitude? Will the information in the system be correct and documented in a way that the employee can understand, and give me accurate information? Will my card be charged in error? Ya never know. Today I got a rude nurse, and it felt like my final straw. A really sweet, enthusiastic employee offered me tea. I figured it's because I would have to wait a while for the nurse. The nurse comes out two minutes later and literally scolded me in front of the whole lobby about having tea. She says loudly and indiscreetly "The tea is only for customers getting IVs and because you're getting shots you're not supposed to get tea, but I'll let it go this time" Her demeanor while delivering this news was not friendly at all. But this, I was going to let slide, although it was embarrassing. She really could have come over to me and talk to me individually about that, if it was even that important... I mean, I can have tea, coffee, and even snacks at my other med spas no problem. But here I'm clearly violating a major policy. The nurse came back out to give me my shots, I only get them in the arm, so it's absolutely fine to be done in the lobby. I noticed the fluid was a different color since the last time I came. Given that I take a lot of vitamin shots, peptides, and supplements, my doctors like to keep up with exactly what I'm taking. I've been advised to give my docs the name and milligrams of my vitamin shots and Peptides, or in some cases, even stay clear of certain supplements/injections. Over the years, the formulations at Pause have varied. Sometimes the "Trim "will have just the MIC formulation or other times it's had B6, B12, or L-Carnitine. No prior nurse has ever had a problem sharing this information with me when I asked. Naturally, it's going into my body, it seems only logical. I might want to know what it is. I asked the nurse if she could show me the bottle so I would know exactly what I was taking. I wanted to give this information to my doctor. Rudely, she told me "We're not allowed to show the bottle.", and proceeded to walk away. As she was walking, I said,"Can you please tell me what's in the formulation then?"....SHE VISIBLY AND LOUDLY BECAME EXTREMELY ANNOYED. SHE LET OUT A HUGE HUFF, ROLLED HER EYES, AND THREW HER HEAD BACK IN FRUSTRATION. Once again, this is in the lobby in front of others. I said "Sorry to make you so mad, I just need to know what I'm putting in my body." I went on to explain to her (and unfortunately everyone witnessing in the lobby) that my doctors have requested that I keep them updated on what I'm taking, and how many milligrams. At that point, she walks to get the bottle, comes back with it and tells me what's in it. But I really shouldn't have had to explain all of that. I have a right to know what I'm taking. And the name "Trim" tells me nothing. At this point, my experience was already completely ruined. I wouldn't be writing this if this was the first time that something like this has happened. But it's not. And sadly, after her outward annoyance, it seemed to have a domino effect on other employees that day, they started then behaving differently toward me. As I mentioned earlier, I left feeling like crap. The other Med spas and biohacking clinics I go to, treat you like royalty. I'm really tired of having such an unpredictable experience at Pause.
