TL, DR: BUYER BEWARE.
This place is brand spankin' new. Their official grand opening is Memorial Day Weekend (5/26-5/29). I saw their ad on FB for $20 cryo session. I took advantage to go check out their facility, which is awesome - all new equipment and clean space. The cryo was good, they only kept me in there for 2.5 minutes because it was my first time there, but I've done cryo for years, especially helpful after a tri or ultra event and I've already done 2 50ks and a trail Ragnar this year. Okay. 2.5 minutes. It was great. They have a full-body chamber, almost like a freezer instead of a tube-style with nitrogen that you have to keep your head out of.
So 2 stars. I hate giving less than 4...But this really felt like a bait and switch. I took advantage of the $20 cryo and was told that because I was a "VIP" customer, pre-grand opening client, I could get a core service for free and another core service at 50% off. So I made an appointment for red light therapy immediately after paying for the cryo session. I ended up rescheduling my comped red light therapy session - which is a 13-minute session - because I wasn't going to make it there on time. Seemed like no problem, got the text confirmation and everything. So I show up at my rescheduled time and my appointment is suddenly not on their schedule. Oh, but it's okay because we have the space available (gee, I wonder because I SCHEDULED IT?). Here's the bait and switch, seems like because I was not on the schedule, I'd have to pay retail. I explain the situation and no change to the cost, but here's what they'll do - I can buy a membership for $169. You can get 8 core services in a month with a membership. Oh okay. Oh, we do ask that you sign up for minimum of 3 months. At $170/month? So my "complimentary" red light session turned into $50 (retail for a single core service) which turned into a sales pitch for a membership for $169 for a month, which turned into a commitment for 3 months ($510 total). Oh, but since I'm a pre-grand opening client, I can get the first month at $129. Um. Needless to say, I walked out. Thanks, but no thanks.
There was absolutely no discussion with the rep about what I was expecting when I walked in and the money I would need to spend that day kept getting higher and higher. So their facilities are great. Hands down. If $510 is no big deal to you, I'd say go for it. But the slick, used car salesman vibe I got was a complete turn off and I have a suspicion that canceling your membership may become a bigger issue than the CSRs at the desk may lead you to believe.
Go into it with your eyes wide open and don't get bullied into spending $500 when you thought you were getting a sample session. False advertising and the bait-and-switch at its finest. read more
