COOLEST Spa I have been to! The service was just as explained. Can't wait to see them again soon. read more

Renew got me through one of the most stressful periods of my life! My husband and I became customers about 6 months before our wedding. It was an incredibly difficult time as we were both stressed and dealing with massive changes. The 1st time we tried an ice bath at renew, it was like magic. You can't think about your stress when you're sitting on freezing water! It's a complete mental reset! We left feeling jubilant and calm at the same time. It got us through the wedding prep, and we even did an ice bath the morning of the wedding! Gabby is wonderful. She's such a source of knowledge on fitness and health and she genuinely cares about helping people feel better. I also got frequent massages at Renew which were amazing for unwinding some chronic should pain I've dealt with for years. If you need to relax, destress, reduce inflammation, etc, definitely try them out!!! read more

Renew Performance Center - Saunas Near Me - Pasadena, California

Awesome place to drop everything and rest!!! Been working through some back pain and this procedure cuts through to the root and has helped me so much! read more

Located on Colorado, in Pasadena, is Renew performance center. I have been here a few times for the services and for the cafe. Every-time I visit, everyone is so friendly and professional. I enjoy the cold plunge--it is located in a private suite with a sauna inside the room. The compression therapy is great. They also offer red light therapy, float tank, massage and stretch. They offer many services catered to those seeking sport rehab and recovery. Nonetheless, all are welcomed. The cafe has pre-prepared juices. I have tried a few including green light and beet it. Beet it is my favorite, perhaps because it has ginger, it gives it a nice twist. They have limited fridge food options and I am happy to report they do include some vegan. I recommend renew performance center for anyone looking for innovative holistic wellness. "Be training for what you want in life!" read more

I stumbled upon Renew as I was trying to sign up for Anytime fitness and I met the lovely owner Gabby who made my husband and I feel like home instantly. I decided to come in for a fire + Ice session and have since came back multiple times. The ice baths and saunas in the space are so well kept and very clean. Gabby, and her team Joy & Mathew are always so kind to us and friendly. I noticed how kind they are to customers that come in and lots of them being Altadena residents. They found a safe space and so have I. I now come as a member, I come to say hello and I come for the fantastic smoothies. Let's talk about the smoothies. Did you know that Erewhon uses ice? Ummm, why am I paying 23$ for a smoothie with ice. Renew uses all fruit and no ice. The "Just Nutty" is my absolute fav. I request no Nutella, add naked almond and have them use almond milk in the smoothie. It's always thick and has the best ingredients. Did I say they use the best protein in all of the smoothies? It's an organic protein actually and I really like it. Overall, this place has been my place for after a workout, a quick smoothie, my moment of escape from reality and a place I feel genuinely welcomed. If you aren't into ice baths, come for a smoothie. It's cheaper than Erewhon and healthier than Jamba. It's my happy place and I hope it becomes yours as well. Say Hello to Gabby for me and let her know Delilah recommended you read more

Gabby is fantastic , she is so fun, encouraging and uplifting, every single thing here is fantastic, all the employees are amazing, I have tried all the services and highly recommend it aaaaaaaaaallllllllll!!!!!!!!! read more

Got an hour massage and a smoothie (motivator) and both were 10/10. The massage therapist asked questions to help guide the massage best and even did stretches after to help! She was great and was highly recommended! Worth every penny! Very cute inside and calming! read more

I've been coming to this RPC almost every day, and it has truly become a sanctuary for me during my healing journey. I've been dealing with spine issues and pelvic floor challenges, and using the cold plunge, infrared sauna, red light therapy, sound therapy, and massage therapy has helped me tremendously not just physically, but emotionally as well. What makes this place even more special is Gabby, the owner. She is exceptional so welcoming, and genuinely caring. Her energy alone makes you want to keep coming back. The entire staff is friendly, and the environment is calm and peaceful. This center has become one of the most beneficial things I've done for myself. After trying out the free day trial, I had no doubt about signing up fully. It's been all positive results since. This place is a hidden gem in Pasadena, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for healing and recovery. read more

This place doesn't disappoint. I've booked the fire and ice session several times and it's always clean, good vibes, and so relaxing. The staff is friendly and I love that they have the smoothies and drink shop right up front. read more

I've been coming to Renew Performance Center almost daily for the past 3 months for contrast therapy, and it's truly been transformative. Their facilities are REALLY great and they are always adding new services to help you become your best self. They have Infrared saunas, cold plunges, red light therapy, float therapy, compression therapy, lymphatic drainage, massages, and stretching. The people here are incredibly welcoming, and I find myself staying longer just to enjoy the positive atmosphere. Gabby, the owner, is exceptional - her kindness makes every visit a boost for both my physical and mental wellness!! Highly recommend Renew to anyone who wants to take their physical and mental health to the next level. FYI - i dont really write reviews, but i love this place so much i had to. read more

Idk if TikToks count as reviews, but I made one. This hidden gem is in a very convenient location in Pasadena. You can pass through a super cute smoothie bar to enter. I was pleasantly surprised at all the recovery options they have to offer. I chose the fire and ice, which is a cold plunge and sauna package that in addition to being very challenging, has so many benefits for your body. The gal that was working that day was very nice and inviting and answered all my questions. If you're looking to challenge your mind and body (mostly your mind), you should try this (and then get a smoothie after). read more

Came here looking for relief from muscle soreness and fatigue. This place is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and I feel at home here. Loving my cold plunge journey, and the other therapies are all worth doing as well. Got my first massage and Evi is a great listener and skilled practitioner. So glad to have added this sanctuary teary to my fitness routine. I feel so much better and have way more energy. read more

I'm a recovery nurse and have major stiff neck Evi literally just gave me the best massage and stretch I've ever had. Gabby the owner is very nice and welcoming her business is fantastic I recommend this place to anyone who wants to feel welcomed and renewed lots of love here read more

Used to be called Space Bar under different ownership, but the new owner Gabby has really put a lot of work into literally Renewing this establishment. Great new menu (the Mexican mocha was excellent), new equipment, and a cleaner look. What's great about this location is it's right next to my gym, Anytime Fitness, so I can go grab a protein shake right after my workout. Give this place a try! read more

Renew Performance Center - Cold plunge - Saunas Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been a member here for a year and it's one of the best moments in my daily routine. My little reward for working hard - scheduling self care is the way to get it done! The place is cute, clean and the staff are wonderfully kind. And the owner Gabby is the sweetest of them all. read more

This place is super ideal after my workout at the Anytime Fitness next to it. Owner Gabby I believe owns both Renew and Anytime, was super friendly and invited me over. I ordered the PBJ smoothie and it was delicious , the workers were top notch, transparent and friendly. After trying a recovery session im now a consistent member as prices are reasonable as I got the bundle with my gym membership and now recovery is part of my workout routine. Thanks Renew read more

Renew Performance Center - Amazing staff - Saunas Near Me - Pasadena, California

I almost don't want to leave this review because I'd love to keep Evi all to myself--but the world deserves to know how amazing she is! I was in so much pain that even sitting up straight was unbearable. While walking by Renew, I decided to drop in, and the kind front desk staff helped me book a session with Evi. Evi is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about her work and how it helps others. After just one session, I knew I had to come back, so I purchased the five-session package. In fact, I'm returning this Thursday--on my birthday--because Evi's work is the best gift I can give myself! The entire Renew staff is welcoming and kind; this is truly a place for healing. Highly recommend--and I rarely write reviews. Thanks, Evi! read more

Facilities are well-maintained and the whole environment (darkened lighting, relaxing aromatherapy-infused air flow) puts you in the right headspace for the treatments. Staff is knowledgeable about the treatments, and is always helpful and friendly. Booking is easily done online. Always a pleasure to go! read more

I have done contrast therapy (cold plunge & sauna) here 3 times now and really like the facilities. Everything is clean and the decor is calming and cute (little duckies near the cold plunge pool and neon signs that say things like "Seek Discomfort"). The staff is friendly and nice and the overall vibe is low-key and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

What a breath of fresh air in Pasadena! Renew cafe is a hidden gem amid all the bustle & chaos of Colorado Blvd: immediately greeted & made to feel welcome, Gabby blessed us with her generous smile & deliciously made double expresso & tasty banana bread. Plenty of delectable pastries & hot or cold beverage options. Not like Urth next door (which is awful!) or the big name cafes, Renew was far more intimate & satisfying a place to enjoy my expresso without the pretense & vacuity of other So Cal cafes. Renew is a sanctuary amid the coruscating madness of Pasadena. We know all that glitters isn't gold; Renew gets backs to basics and provides a super chill inclusive environment (they have a tv so you can watch baseball or news with your coffee), exemplary service, and first rate beverages. The vibe was pleasantly reminiscent of a small town cafe back East or in Europe - where everyone knew your name. I shall return! read more

Highly recommend for first timer cold plunge experience! Easy to book. No pressure. Experience will speak for itself. Space is clean and relaxing. Almost like a secret spot and would not believe the hidden gem that's behind a cafe bar. I'm so glad to come with friends for motivation and positivity for my first time! read more

This place is absolutely amazing! It has EVERYTHING you need for recovery and wellness. The services offered are all amazing, you can't go wrong with any of them. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I really enjoyed the lymphatic drainage. You lay on heated table while compression sleeves squeeze you with just the right amount of pressure. It's actually very relaxing- I dozed off and took a nap! The coffee and smoothie bar are a favorite of mine as well. Gabby, the owner, and her staff are all friendly, professional, knowledgeable and super helpful in helping you choose the best service for you. I'm so glad this place opened, and they're so close to my work, so I can visit often! read more

I recently found out about Renew Performance Center (RPC) from Anytime Fitness Pasadena and I am truly grateful for the collaboration. Currently, I am training for the 2025 LA Marathon and RPC has been an excellent place to recover after long training runs by utilizing their Fire & Ice, and massage therapy services. After each session, I leave feeling refreshed and revived. Gabby, the owner, and the staff at RPC are welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional, which I value as a member. Thank you RPC for helping me on my LAM25 training and recovery journey! I recommend this place to anyone who needs to reset their bodies, minds, and souls. read more

Love this place. I went for the first time this week to try their float pod. It was amazing. I had a wonderful, peaceful time, and the float assisted with some health complications I've been dealing with. The staff were super informative, kind, and attentive. The energy at Space Bar is pleasant, positive, and relaxed. The prices are fair as well. They do not overcharge. To make it even better, they have a kava bar out front that serves kava, lattes, shots, and smoothies; that are delish btw. Along with kombuchas and other assorted health drinks. I love kava so this is perfect. I definitely will be a regular here. Great wellness services, fun and friendly staff, and zen dranks? Hell yeah. Definitely give them visit read more

I have a monthly membership & I absolutely love it. I come every day for Cold Plunge, but I also love the other services like Red Light Therapy, Sauna & Compression. Bookings are simple. The place is clean and sanitary, which is very important to me! My wife recently had a massage. She really enjoyed it & felt taken care of! I did the lymphatic drainage that was amazing.....I slept so well that night. Mostly, I love the staff there. I always feel taken care of & feel like a VIP on every visit! Moises, Joy, Ashley & the owner Gabby are the best! read more

Check this place out if you haven't already! Delicious smoothies, state of the art equipment with a variety of recovery options to choose from (I.e. cold plunge, infrared sauna, normatec compression, float therapy, massage, lymphatic drainage), and AMAZING staff! Gabby, Joy, Ashlee and honestly everyone else I've met there are always so attentive, friendly, and welcoming to not only me but every guest that walks through the door. The whole place is clean and the aesthetic is so cute and calming. I've got nothing but good things to say :) read more

I want to begin by saying that Santiago is the employee who helped me. He was so passionate, helpful and accommodating, that I thought he was the manager. Turns out he's just one of the employees. They're really lucky to have him. His colleague, I think Ashley was her name (?) was also really awesome! I love the look and feel of this place. It has a lot of potential - I say this because it has new owners. They've adopted old equipment from previous owners that don't work very well. I did the fire and ice and barely broke a sweat in the sauna, which made me not want to get into the ice tub. The good news is, they said they're getting new saunas soon. Might be a good idea to check with them first before booking in for the fire and ice. They will also soon be offering FloPresso lymphatic compression therapy, which is exciting! I would also really love to see them offer vitamin IVs and a dedicated place for an Ampcoil PEMF device (or two). I'm a functional health coach and work with AmpCoil. Renew is the perfect place for it. Lastly, their prices are a bit steep, even for LA- $60 for a half hour and $180 for compression therapy. $60 for an hour makes much more sense for fire and ice and $150 for compression. These things would make Renew a perfect one stop bio-hacking shop and I would be there all the time. read more

awesome first time experience doing the fire & ice treatment. room in photo was big enough for 3 people (if going with friends for that extra motivation). definitely felt that the treatment reduced muscle soreness and improved recovery time. will be incorporating this into my routine! read more

I absolutely love everything about this place! I come for the Fire & Ice Treatment before and after a full weekend of rigorous physical training. So yesterday I came in super sore and in much need of recovery. I was greeted warmly by Joy & Moises. I'm always incredibly nervous before getting in the ice bath but the process that I was guided through was calm and soothing. I never felt rushed and was able to take my time and use the restroom prior to the Fire & Ice session. Moises guided me from start to finish. First helping me calm my mind and nervous system through controlled breathing until I was ready to apply the same techniques in getting in the water. Before I knew it, 5 minutes had passed and I was willing to go for another 5 minutes with continued breath coaching. Thank you, Moises, for your calming voice and helping me reach a personal goal of 10 minutes! The sauna after was a delightful and rewarding treat. And if that was not enough, I was able to stay a while and productively work on my computer while enjoying the yummiest peanut butter banana smoothie in the comfiest work space w/ WiFi! Thank you Gaby, Moises & Joy.. guys are the best! I'll be back soon! read more

This place has come a long way... I would occasionally come here when it was under the prior owner and although it was good; I would always walk away wishing it was better (good people, just not the most organized and nothing really worked as expected). I'm grateful for the new owner... much more organized, takes feedback, has a heart for healing and with each trip I can see even more investment into the facility. And finally, it's slightly easier to pay and book an appointment. The only thing that keeps me from buying a membership is the saunas... they're just too cold. I understand the science with the red light therapy, but I want to the intense heat for the heat shock proteins and for the added benefits of the sweat. The sauna I recently couldn't seem to get higher than 135. I'm confident there will eventually be a hotter sauna option. read more

Space BAR is an incredible new wellness center in Pasadena. They had a special 7 day challenge, where for $99 you could try unlimited classes, and 1 of each of their recovery treatments. Prior to your first session, you have a meeting/orientation where you go over your goals and receive a very helpful guided journal, where you can catalog your wellness journey. Here's all of the amazing things I tried during my week: Group Classes: Small group recovery - 30 minutes or breathwork was super intense and at one point I felt like a dragon. You work to change the biochemistry of your system since you work on long inhales, and then waiting to exhale. Very intense, it's nice that when you become a member you get unlimited breath work classes. The ice bath was so intense, but I'm glad I did it for as long as I could. The sauna felt great after. Active Repair - an amazing class, who knew that a lacrosse ball and a foam roller could so thoroughly stretch out your whole body. My favorite but most painful spot was the front chest, which had never been stretched before. Mindful Movement - a yoga class built around your own needs. I have super tight hips so we spent the hour loosening them up. The class can be as active or restorative as you need. Treatments: Individual Sauna - love that you can either listen to the radio or to Bluetooth. Make sure to turn Bluetooth on, and leave your phone outside of the sauna if you do the 40 minute session. Float tank - float in epsom salt, they have cool lights that you can change the color or be in total darkness. Great way to relax. Joovv Red Light - only tried once and you need two to three times a week to see differences, but it's really easy to use. You either sit or stand behind a black curtain for 20 minutes and check your phone. Normatec Compression Boots - they have for your legs or hips. I did the hips and if you've ever received a lymphatic massage, where they squeeze you, this is the same. If you're an athlete, come use this place to recharge and avoid injury. If you're into wellness, use this place as a headquarters where you can do my goal with wellness: having wellness be as necessary as showering for your every day life. read more

Visited this place for a quick smoothie and was pleasantly surprised by the staff and ambiance. Gabbi the owner happened to be working the counter and was incredibly helpful helping me choose a smoothie. This place also offers tons of cool things like cold plunge, red light therapy, and more! 10/10 recommend! read more

Infrared sauna review: Located inside the superfood cafe, this unassuming place is actually a nice spot to get your sauna fix. I went with 2 other friends and it was nice to get your own room when you go with a small group (max 6). I've never tried an infrared sauna but I really liked how tolerable the heat level was even for staying a full 30mins inside. You get a good sweat out of the sauna without being terribly uncomfortable. The one downside is that there isn't really a space to leave your stuff but we did have the room to ourselves so was able to put it on a chair. It would've been nice to have lockers to ensure things don't get wet, etc. There was only 2 showers (one in the same room as the group sauna option and another private shower room), but they do offer shampoo, conditioner and soap if you need, as well as clean towels. For $25 per session, it's a reasonable deal. Parking is street otherwise you can pay for the playhouse lot parking at $1.50/hour. read more

What a unique spot! With a prime location right on Colorado Blvd, it's a convenient little cafe/ wellness center with anything you could need to fulfill your wellness goals. I just did the lymphatic drainage compression therapy and it exceeded my expectations. The treatment itself was like a full body normatec compression suit with heat and red light to aid lymphatic drainage. It was peaceful and just what I needed, but the best part of the experience was Gabby (the owner)! She was beyond attentive and made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. She even took me on a tour of the facilities because I had so many questions about the other services like the cold plunge and infrared sauna. If you're in a hurry and craving a smoothie, I would suggest the motivator or the nutty smoothie. Both were insanely tasty. I would go back in a heartbeat! read more

I've been seeing Jovi for body work and she is the best. It can be difficult to find good deep tissue massage and body work. I had a pretty bad strain in the sub scapular and rhomboid area that she was able to help correct. She is very good at diagnosing a problem and will research into treatments between sessions. I've also used their sauna and cold plunges and the facility is great. It offers privacy and high quality equipment. read more

I was there on Saturday morning during a quick trip and it was so needed!!! They were able to slide me in the schedule as a walk-in . The staff was wonderful! The facility was very relaxing and the "treatments" offered are great. I wish there was one by my house! Will definitely come back next time I'm in Pasadena read more

Experienced my first true ice bath at Hot8 Yoga Pasadena with Space BAR's amazing staff. I literally needed their guidance for taking the requisite, super deep breaths as the body's natural response is to go into extreme, shallow breathing. I soaked up to my neck the first time but only lasted a minute 15sec. I went into their sauna tent and then did the ice bath again but this time for the full three minutes. The pain in the extremities kicks in at about a minute. From that point on, you start to feel like your body is shutting down and it's everything you can do to just focus on your breaths. The dopamine rush afterwards is incredible. The closest thing I've experienced to it is skydiving. Gonna go again this week but this time at Space BAR. Thank you! It was mentally so challenging but awesome afterwards! read more

Im usually pretty skeptical of these newer treatment techniques, I'm more of a "just give me the pill or shot" kinda guy. After 4 months of doing everything I could to treat the chronic pain in my arm that wouldn't go away, I gave this place a shot. After just a week of red light therapy, infrared sauna, and cold plunge, I was amazed that I felt 90% better. The facility is top notch and the staff is super friendly and helpful read more

I discovered Renew three months ago when looking for venues that offer infrared sauna sessions. Gabby, the owner, was so informative prior to the trial session. The center is well managed with a nice ambiance, rooms are clean, towels are fresh, staff are super friendly. I've been managing autoimmune issues for 15 years now and I love having access to a center with a variety of services that help ease symptoms. I've had a 20-session package so far and will be signing up for monthly membership. Highly recommended. read more
