I gave that a try with their bogo offer. And honestly, if you can deal with a Rochester winter, you can cold plunge. I'm trying it to see if it helps with muscle aches, etc and while it's too soon to tell. I do feel more awake on the days I've come in. While the saunas have a speaker you can plug your phone into, I'd suggest bringing headphones if you're going to cold plunge or contrast (which is going back and forth between the sauna and the plunge). They do provide a plastic bag for wet if needed. And plenty of towels. I would prefer having a clock of some kind on the wall instead of the portable timers but I get how others might not like that. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. And they have various membership packages.

I definitely recommend!…read more I was in town for a brief visit with family and really needed a mental and physical reset. I am a recent concert to infrared saunas and did a quick search and found this place close by. Right by Bushnell's Basin in Pittsford. Don't let the sterile exterior of the building deter you. You might be in a random office building, but once you enter the space, it's totally relaxing and inviting. A chill spa environment that's a little bit quirky and fun. Evelyn, the owner and massage therapist is incredibly welcoming. I have had really great luck in multiple cities with independent self-owned providers of personal services with aestheticians, beauticians and the like. Nurturing Hands is no different. The infrared sauna set up is so lovely, down to the last detail: an assortment of books, water, warm towels and a wide selection of robes! There is also an option to sauna with friends, though I'm more of a solo sauna-er. After my 30 minutes in the sauna relaxing and sweating out some toxins, Evelyn gave me a wonderful and relaxing massage. The 75 minutes flew by...next time I'm booking for at least 90 minutes. I am definitely coming back and recommend everyone to check this place out if they are looking for a relaxed, low key environment for a great massage.

I don't live in Rochester, so I don't have a regular place to work out when I come to town (a few…read moretimes a year). My wife and I were looking around on ClassPass and The Wellness Lab came up. At first we just thought it was a gym where we could go get a workout in, but it's a lot more. Yes, there's a gym with all the dumbbells and kettlebells you want, a couple of benches, a couple of barbells, resistance bands, a conventional sauna, a couple of machines, and room to work (everything I need to workout except maybe a pull-up bar and a place to do dips). However, on the other side of the front desk (easy check-in, some merch, and a few products like LMNT), it's like a well-appointed, DIY spa. They have several different private rooms, all equipped with infrared saunas, and some with matching cold plunge tubs for contrast therapy. I love it. Everything is clean and beautiful and well laid out. We were pleasantly surprised with how comfortable and relaxing it all was, with great little touches (great lighting, a picture of penguins enjoying a cold plunge above the tub). Vinny was personable, and happy to show us how to work the saunas (very intuitive). It's super easy to figure it all out, and my wife and I had a great time in the room with the larger sauna that we could both fit in. Even though my body was screaming at me to get out of the cold plunge (had to be in the 40s) immediately, I stayed for three minutes each time and felt amazing afterward. It's also worth mentioning that the music here is GREAT. A playlist that I could've put together myself. We'll be coming back. Maybe tomorrow.

I love the privacy between the different spaces, and you can read and watch a show while you relax. Though your phone will overheat, so I recommend just bringing a book or hooking up the bluetooth and relaxing to some music. Love coming here and I am curious about the gym and the other areas. You're able to book a day pass via classpass as well, so that should be interesting. Looking forward to coming back and feeling lucky a recovery spot is so close to me.

She focused on the tension in my shoulders and spent generous, thoughtful time on my arms and legs. I could tell right away that she's a true professional, and I felt completely comfortable in her hands (pun intended). The massage room itself was soothing, with soft, pastel lighting, gentle music, and a pleasant aroma. Yan used hot stones on my back and checked in often to make sure the temperature was comfortable. I never felt rushed throughout my massage, only cared for and valued. Mei's Spa and Retreat is a peaceful escape, before, during, and after your appointment. I love that Mei's considers the little things, like soft, comfortable robes and an array of beauty products while in the changing area. I'm looking forward to another massage the next time I'm in town.

I recently visited the Frequency Wellness Space for a yoga class that was recommended by a friend,…read moreand I really enjoyed both the class and the space. Frequency is located on Elton Street near University Avenue, in an older building shared with several other businesses, across from Fiamma Restaurant. The studio is on the second floor. While it's not a large space, it has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and offers a variety of wellness services, including yoga, Reiki, sound baths, workshops, and other special events. Their class schedule changes regularly, so it's worth checking their website to see what's currently being offered. (Frequency Wellness Space⁠) Parking was easy, with a lot at the corner of Atlantic and Elton Streets, as well as free street parking nearby. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely return to try another class.

Maybe it's my Finnish ancestry showing itself, but I love some quality sauna time. All of my…read moreexperiences up to this point though have centered around a typical stove or steam sauna. This was my first visit to an infrared sauna. I arrived a bit early for my appointment, but was welcomed warmly by Rachel, one of the owners of the studio. After I filled out some quick paperwork, Rachel then gave me an explanation of what differentiates infrared saunas, including the related healing benefits. We walked back to sauna room #4, where Rachel then explained the space, how the sauna worked (temperature control, changing the chromotherapy lights, etc), and noted the available robe for my in-sauna time, as well as the cool, lavender scented cloth available to use at the end of my experience. She did note that in room #4, the speaker available inside the sauna (if you were to plug in your phone or such to play music) was prone to making white noise when "on" but not in use. I definitely turned off the speaker during my time in the sauna. There was a laminated sheet in the sauna room that explained the different chromotherapy colors and what benefits they provided, all of which was helpful information. While I cycled between a couple of the colors, I spent most of my time in red (activates the circulatory and nervous system functions, as well as helping to balance hormone levels), strong green (providing anti-infectious, anti-septic, and regenerative stimulation), and blue (helping to relieve headaches + migraines, colds, stress, nervous tension, muscles cramps, and a couple other issues). While enjoying my 45 minutes in the sauna itself, there *were* a couple things I noticed... most of which relate to the fact that the larger, individual room (which contains the sauna) is open on top. The walls don't go floor to ceiling, so the light from from of the business, coming in from outside, inevitably pours into the individual room. Personally, I would have liked a room that was more closed off. Besides minimizing light from outside, it would also buffer a bit of the sound from outside the room (whether a phone call to the front desk, other people visiting the sauna studio, or various other happenings). After my sauna, I made my way up to the front desk to pay. Rachel ensured an additional pass for another visit was added to my account (a special offer for new clients), and she also extended the deadline for the pass to be used, as I was coming from outside of town. A delightful surprise. TL;DR I left the sauna studio feeling relaxed and refreshed... there are just a couple things that I personally felt could be a tad bit improved to make the experience as zen as possible.
