    I've been going to Perspire Sauna for 5 years! Over 540+ sessions. Best decision for my health and overall well being I've made. Consistent experience - private room, flat screen, towels, cold eucalyptus cloth, pure magic. Started in AZ and then in CA. Dana Point location is the best! Top notch experience. The new manager Joe is the best.

    I call Perspire 'Church' to friends and family because it's such a life blessing! Today I bought a GC for one of my clients as a Thank you for all her patronage! It's literally the Best gift to give. The lovely young lady in this pic is ' Michelle'. She is a Perspire Sauna facilitator... literally the best of the best. Michele has a vibe and work ethic that shines brightly. I have been a member since the start of Laguna Nigel location, years of rewards for this experience. Michelle truly gives her all to ensure everything is perfect. Thank you M! Well ... I could go on & on... let's just say besides the filtered volcanic water ( free) flowing the emasculate fresh rooms. The deep sense of accomplishment after each season is priceless. Namaste See you here! Hxo

    To the magical rooms!

    What a treat to enjoy something so amazing. I have been a super fan of a nice hot dry sauna for years. It helps you sweat out things your body is interested in removing. Helps clean out your skin and helps you relax. There is nothing like doing a session here with EarPods in or your Bang & Olufsen of Beats and being removed from this earth for a moment of time in your busy day. Really. Have you just sat and closed your eyes in a bit dry sauna in quiet repose? It's amazing. Your stiffnesses melts away,.. stress, frustration. And that tension from that Prius making you miss the green light,.... All feels like it melts away. This place is in a fabulous spot. It's just so close to everything. Parking, shopping and beautiful SoCal beach weather. I loved my Yelp Elite event. This was an amazing experience. I like to take ear plugs and actually do quiet sauna time. For me,... I've done this enough to know what works best for me. I wrap a pre prepared cooling towel on my next in the back and place another cold wet one across my eyes, face/neck. These help the blood in my head and neck stay much cooler and allows my body to handle hot try heat. There is TV, Music and mood altering led lights you can try. They have FABULOUS cold drinks and snacks you can purchase that help you maximize your time. YES you can enjoy this totally nekkid. Just fold and place clean towels under you before you sit down. Drink some water before you start and then purchase some or bring your own for when you finish.

    Good sweat!! I was given a gift certificate for a session at the Perspire location in Dana Point. I arrived for my sauna session and was warmly greeted by the staff. After checking in I was escorted to my private sauna room. It was advised that I have water to drink while in my session and I forgot to bring a water bottle, I purchased one and it was a reasonable price of $3 for a very large bottle of very good water, ph balanced. There are about 10 private rooms in this location. The first thing I noticed when walking down the hall and into my private room was how clean this Perspire location was and how professional the staff was. The sauna is warmed by a infra red heating system which is so much better than the sauna's you find in gyms. In addition to the infrared heating system you have a choice if different color light therapies and I selected the red light therapy and the green light therapy. I was instructed on how to control the heat level, and the TV Screen in my private studio. The therapist programed the sauna to maintain a temperature of 150 degrees which I felt was just the right temperature for my first visit. On this first visit when I was seated inside the sauna I watched a 5 minute presentation of the different controls in the sauna and then selected a music channel on YouTube to lie down and relax during my session. In addition to the YouTube channel there is Netflix also available to watch during your 40 minute session. As it said in the 5 minute video it took about 10 minutes into the session for me to develop a sweat, which continued throughout the session. After the session I felt relaxed and even more so after I got home. Not being able to go to my gym for about one year and then not using the sauna there, I was glad to find Perspire. I realized how much I missed the feel good sensation of a sauna and with Perspire I get that with a very clean and comfortable environment. For sure I will be going back on a regular basis for a "sweat session.

    I tried out Perspire in Dana Point because of a promotion they had going on, and I have to say I was very impressed. The staff is friendly and professional, and the facility itself is clean with awesome amenities. When you walk into your room, there's a chair in the corner for your clothes, a small eucalyptus face towel, and a TV against the wall with Netflix and Hulu, which is awesome (you can take the remote with you into the sauna). In your private room, there's a smaller glass room (the sauna room) with another clean, full-sized towel and face towel on the bench. Once you go in, you can set your temperature via the control panel on the wall, and choose what kind of infrared lighting you want (they have several colors to choose from, all with different purported benefits - I went with green and red). My session was for 40 minutes and honestly, it was a cathartic experience that left me feeling rejuvenated right after. Personally, I'd recommend doing your session toward the end of the day if possible, because it did make me feel tired a few hours later and I slept like a baby that night. My wife said my skin looked better the next day too. After the session I took some time to review actual peer-reviewed research on the benefits of saunas, and the evidence for positive health effects is pretty strong (definitely not pseudoscience like some other practices I won't mention here). Because of this session, I think my wife and I may actually get a membership to the Perspire location closer to where we live. 100% recommended.

    Ask the Community - Perspire Sauna Studio - Dana Point

    Are there showers or some place to wash up before entering the sauna?

    Sorry, there are no showers or place to wash up.

    Are walk ins welcome bc I can't get ahold of anyone on the phone and the site is a pain to use to book?…

    Yes, walk-ins are available and you can almost always get a spot pretty quickly. The app is the easiest way to book and a lot better than the website.

This place delivers an incredible cold plunge experience that's truly transformative. The facility is spotless, modern, and beautifully set up right on Pacific Coast Highway, making it super convenient and welcoming. The cold plunges are maintained at perfect temperatures (ranging from those invigorating 33-46°F levels), and the contrast with the dry sauna or other recovery options like red light therapy, PEMF, and hyperbaric sessions creates an unbeatable full-body reset. After a session, I walk out feeling energized, with reduced inflammation, clearer focus, and that massive dopamine boost everyone raves about--it's like hitting refresh on your entire system. Whether you're an athlete pushing limits or just looking to build resilience and shake off daily stress, the plunges here perform at an elite level.

Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable about the science behind cold therapy and recovery modalities--he takes time to chat with you, offer personalized tips, and make sure your experience is tailored just right. His friendly, approachable vibe makes every visit feel special and supportive, like you're part of a community rather than just a client. The whole team seems inspired by his leadership, and it's clear he's committed to keeping the standards sky-high while making the place even more inviting.

    This morning I had a head/scalp and facial treatment with Emily. It was heavenly…read more From start to finish, Emily was very welcoming, professional and nurturing. I felt very comfortable, cozy and trusted her in everything she did. She has healing hands! By the time she was done, I felt like a new woman. It was hard for me to drive home afterwards due to how relaxed I was! My hair and face feel healthy and glowing. I didn't feel rushed out at the end like I have felt many times before going to just "head spa" places. Definitely an elevated experience in treatment and your overall well being. I definitely will be back and highly recommend.

    This was genuinely one of the worst massage experiences I have ever had…read more The woman who worked on me was literally holding and looking at her phone while massaging me with the fingers of ONE HAND. At one point I actually turned around to see what was going on, and she appeared to be watching or reading something on her phone while she was supposed to be giving me a massage. This did not feel like a professional massage in any sense. There were no intentional therapeutic strokes, no real pressure, and absolutely no sense of care or attention. It felt like random, light finger movements while her attention was somewhere else entirely. I finally had to confront her and ask what kind of massage she was even giving me. The entire experience was so unprofessional that it honestly made me question whether the person working on me was properly trained or licensed. I cannot verify her licensing status, so I am not claiming that she was unlicensed -- but based on the experience I received, I would absolutely want to know what her professional qualifications were. What made it even stranger was that after giving me what barely qualified as a massage, she still seemed to expect a tip. I left feeling 100% worse than when I walked in. The whole experience felt uncomfortable, careless, and deeply unpleasant. I wish I remembered her name, but unfortunately I don't. I'm sharing this because people pay for massage expecting a trained professional who is actually present and attentive -- not someone looking at their phone while absentmindedly touching them with one hand. For me, this is a 100% stay away. I would never return. I will say though I had a friend who had a different person that was excellent - but the consistency is not good enough and first HORRIBLE experience w a massage for me so it's a hard NO.
