Went to Pause for a hydrating IV. I'm in my first trimester and having trouble drinking enough water. Pause made the whole process easy - I was able to speak with a nurse practitioner and get cleared for fluids. The front desk and RN made the experience comfortable and welcoming. read more

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. read more

Contrast therapy 60 minutes. Do it! It's a great way to decompress and get some extra tlc to your body when you're sore or tired. I've also gotten IV therapy and done the float tank as well! read more

Pause Studio is one of the best experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm and lovely staff. It's rare for me to fully relax, but something about this place--the atmosphere, the people, the energy--made it possible. I really enjoyed every moment at this location. It felt like a peaceful escape from the stress I usually carry. If you're dealing with a lot of pressure or just need a reset, I highly recommend giving Pause Studio a try. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

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! read more

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. read more

So relaxing, easy process every time, knowledgeable staff! Love their saunas, cold plunge and red light therapy. read more

Staff I was greeted by the friendliest staff member who was knowledgeable and thoroughly explained in detail what they had to offer in terms of services. Also had the patience to answer all my questions. Facility Each service had its designated room and have to say, by far the most clean out of all the places I've been to. They offer more than saunas and I cannot wait to try them all. Pricing Their introductory discount enticed me to try and it was well worth it. They have other packages and all competitive prices. I am definitely starting my membership next month. All the details are on their website and the kind staff happily explains everything. Highly recommended!!! read more

Been doing sauna and cold plunge here for a while with friends, the staff have always been extremely friendly and accommodating! Experience overall is great and I am always feeling refreshed afterwards read more

I used to avoid cryotherapy and saunas because it felt like torture. Pause has elevated both treatments to something I look forward to! read more

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! read more

I came for a float session. It was my first time in. I will say, I will probably be back because of its convenient booking process, location, and easy parking... the staff was also friendly, prompt, and helpful. I will probably just come more prepared next time, bring my own toiletries and plan to come when I don't have plans afterwards. I do have some feedback... They don't have a vanity station/locker room, so don't plan to go out after service here. You get about 10-15 minutes after a session to leave the room, which for me is enough to shower and dry off / get clothed. There's nowhere to dry your hair or do makeup. This was an issue for me as I had plans after and do not live close by. It did feel a little weird walking out of my midafternoon appointment and into a more upscale public shopping area with wet hair and no makeup . Not the end of the world but would at least like the ability to dry my hair! The shower handle in the shower of my float room completely came off/ fell out when I was trying to rinse off before entering the tank. I had to re-dress myself and find someone to help me fix it. Not the worst thing to happen but was a bit stressful in the moment .... Get your plumbing fixed! The float was fine but the temperature was a bit too hot for me and I never fully adjusted to it. I don't know if this can be adjusted or not. I might ask the next time if I go again. While I often just rest in silence during the float, I would like to have the option to put on my own music or meditation. Other places I've been to, there were different sound options to choose from, or you could plug in your own music/meditation track. This is a feature I would use if it was available. Lastly, the soap/ shampoo they have in the shower is le labo which is a high end designer scent company.... But holy moly, that scent is STRONG and masculine. I got a wicked headache after a few hours of smelling it on my skin and hair. I would have rather washed myself with Trader Joe's tea tree soap... I'll have to bring some if I return. Anyway, like I said I'll probably be back, but will keep a few of these things in mind. Some small adjustments I think could also be made by the business to improve the overall quality/experience. read more

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! read more

This place is awesome. Pause South Bay is beautiful and feels like such a good step in self care. Second time here I am increasing my NAD+ infusion to 500 Milligrams this week. I have booked 4 Mondays as a post Covid rejuvenation plan. They have a new client special this month and it makes it more appealing. Check it out their monthly specials. read more

Came here 2x. The first time, I didn't love the experience, but figured I'd try again. 2nd time, I just didn't appreciate how my friend and I were treated, so we just left and decided to try other locations. Pros: - Friendly front-office - IV contents did the job - Extensive list of services and products Cons: - Loooong wait time until treatment - Nurse seems a bit disgruntled. - Hoped for someone more knowledgeable to explain the services - IV location was loud and more public than I expected read more

I love this studio! It is the best part of my week and coming here seeing all the friendly faces is amazing . 100000/10 DANI is the best she is so friendly and she loves being here you can tell read more

Had a great experience at pause. I frequent this location weekly and have exclusively experienced positive behavior from the staff. They are all very nice to me. Benefits are definitely felt from cold plunge / sauna combo. If I ever miss a week, I definitely noticed a difference in productivity and focus days after. read more

Super dig the vibe at this location. Check in was quick, they gave us water, and we jumped into their provided garments and straight into our cryo session. It was our first time and we loved it. Funny how my beard was frozen. We then used their sauna room which was super clean and such a chill vibe. Definitely worth checking out. Happy Munchies, aVeganAndHer read more

Life-Changing! Pause studio is rethinking the wellness space in an incredible way. This location is beautiful, relaxing and a dream come true for all your wellness needs.

I came here for my birthday it was a really nice experience I'd definitely recommend. I'm considering getting a membership, but already pay for class pass that offers different studios that do similar services. I will definitely be back. After the float experience all my friends and family could see a glow in my skin. I think it's magnesium sulfate that the body absorbs while floating giving it brighter look. read more

Pause South Bay - Float Pod - Cryotherapy Near Me - El Segundo, California

MLM VIBES I recently made an appointment at Pause Studio in El Segundo for their Contrast Therapy, which consists on contrast between ice-cold plunges and sauna warm-ups. I was very excited to try it out, I am a fitness professional and own a chain of boutique fitness studios in LA and the Hawaiian islands, with a vast online following across all social media. This is not a low key brag, the only reason I am mentioning it is because I wanted to try Pause Studio to review it and recommend it to our clients and online followers. Unfortunately the experience left me completely underwhelmed. Although the facility design and layout was great and the services offered were a match for what our clients are looking for. The customer service was beyond subpar. My appointment was at 10 am, but per their website I arrived 10 minutes prior, in case I needed to sign any releases or do any paperwork. When I walked in, all of a sudden I was in the middle of a staff meeting that was taking place right in the lobby of the studio. It turns out this gentleman was doing some kind of presentation regarding their new pricing structure. So the entire lobby area, every chair, every space was taken by the staff of the studio. Although I thought it was rather unprofessional I did not mind it much, I assumed the meeting ran late and they were still there beyond the scheduled time. What happened next left me speechless. Nobody greeted me or checked me in, and actually the gentleman that was running the presentation asked me if I had an appointment and I confirmed I did. Then he proceeded to tell me that I should leave and come back later so he could finish his presentation, adding that none of the Saunas were ready for me. So he had me leave the studio so he could continue his important presentation. It would have taken just a quick minute to check me in and send me on my way, but this gentleman did not think that prioritizing customer service in front of his own staff was something he should do. So I had to leave the studio and sit outside to make time for the staff meeting to end. The entire time nobody checked on me and nobody ever told me the meeting had ended. I finally went back into the studio at 10:15 wondering if this meeting had ended, and when I walked in I could see all the staff, including the gentleman that was doing the presentation, casually talking and hanging around. When I walked back in, nobody apologized for the inconvenience or made an effort to address me, so I had to stand by their front desk until some young lady finally acknowledged me after SEVERAL minutes. I finally went into the Sauna, walked by a young man that proceeded to tell me about the new pricing packages. It was definitely not the right time to try to upsell me! The actual services were ok, but by then my experience was completely ruined. Also I paid $75 dollars for 30 minutes, which is extremely pricey, and only got to be at the spa for 15 minutes at most. I have work in the health and fitness industry my entire life and I have never seen such disregard for the customer! So I decided to dig a little deeper into this company. I went to their website and under the "franchise" tab I found the answers I needed: I am attaching a screenshot of this section because is too arrogant and tone deaf. I am only going to address the first three because it is enough. The bullet points in the "OPPORTUNITY" section are: "HIGH PROFIT MARGIN" = translation we are overcharging our customers. Even if this is true and good for them, who would put that on their website??? Is it arrogance, do they think their customers are stupid or simply they do not care??? "LABOR LIGHT MODEL" = Wow, in labor friendly California this seems like a real slap on the face. That means we do not need to hire a large number of staff members or create employment opportunities, because we created a structure that yields a lot of profit due to overcharging and we donʻt even have to prioritize customer service. "MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS" = Upsell, is the name of the game. I experienced it myself. The only time I was personally addressed was to be upsold. After reviewing this section it became really clear to me why I was treated the way I was. This company, much like an MLM does not prioritize the customer experience. Their main goal is to grow the franchize. Their real customer is not you, me or our clients at our gyms looking for restorative health services. Their real focus is new franchisees, this is not about health this is about selling new franchises. Overall a great disappointment, very much like STRETCH LAB where the services are good but people avoid going there because the upsell is way too aggressive and leaves you feeling like they dont give a crap about you but your wallet. Like I said, really disappointed I was ready to spread the news about this great new service. If you are into MLMs this place may be what you are looking for. read more

Absolutely the best experience and 1 hour of my life. Busy day/ week/ year? Get yourself an hour of pure relaxing meditation and come out as a new happy person. Fully relaxed recovered... I'd say reborn. Love how tidy is this place. Loved Le Labo products at the shower. The stuff was absolutely lovely and very helpful, explained everything to the smallest details that did matter. Full 5 starts for this place. Will definitely be back and highly recommended for you or as a gift to someone you love. read more

I found this spot while looking into places to do cold plunge and cryotherapy for recovery purposes. My fiancé and I came in on Sunday to try out the cryotherapy and it was amazing! You feel immediately refreshed the second you walk out of the chamber and you can instantly feel your sore muscles thanking you. The interior is really nice and you just feel peaceful walking through the establishment. They offer a good amount of different services and with their app it is really easy to make appointments :) I can't wait to book our next appointment! Thinking of trying Contrast therapy next :) read more

The setting was nice and lots of good services. Very expensive in my opinion. I've used some of the same services in Honolulu, Denver, and Seattle and they were half the price of what they charge here. read more

I went back to Pause today after speaking with the manager about my experience last time. It's really refreshing to have a manager listen and be open to feedback. More managers need to be like this. I genuinely felt like he cared and wanted to make my next experience better. Adam deserves a raise! Before I had no intention of coming back but after today I will certainly be back. I truly enjoy the contrast therapy and will look forward to my next session. read more

Pause South Bay - In my previous experiences the plunge has more water. This made it difficult to get my whole body submerged. - Cryotherapy Near Me - El Segundo, California

I went in and tried every service, the facilities are clean and peaceful. A great spot for some alone time or for a relaxing date night.

This is such a relaxing place to take a break. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is very relaxed yet focused. The drinks/snacks/products are prefect for enjoying while in the sauna or following. I did the 60 min cold plunge and infrared sauna. Amazing. I slept great after. Only thing was my Bluetooth didn't connect to the speaker, but silence was not unwelcome. The shower had le labo body wash and shampoo/conditioner, but no lotion. Just FYI bring lotion/face products for after. I bought a package when I finished. The staff was warm, friendly and helpful. read more

This place is AMAZING! The staff was very friendly, the facility beautiful (very clean) & the experience was top-notch.

30 min red light sauna followed by cold plunge and leg compressions. Favorite wellness spa, because of its Egyptian ancient bath motif and ease of getting into cold plunge from sauna.

I come here weekly and I love it! I usually do the contrast therapy because I've recently been given the green light to workout again (a health problem dictated that I couldn't for 9 months). Hence, my feet and body are oftentimes swollen and I love the infrared sauna and cold plunge. I also travel a lot and the IV treatments are an absolute MUST. I was frequenting the Venice location but much prefer MB due to the proximity, easier parking, and ample food options. I couldn't be more happy with the facilities AND customer service. This place has become a staple in my weekly routine! read more

First time doing a cryotherapy session and I loved it!!! I was expecting the whole put your body in a contraption with your head sticking out. Not the case here!! Even better- it's a chamber the size of a small closet where two people can stand in it! Laugh as you see ice crystals form on each other! I hope they open more locations because this place is amazing with all the self care offerings! read more

I visited Pause South Bay a few months ago, and the experience was amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, special shout out to Mikayla!
