    Compression Therapy using the Normatec Boots
    Krista M.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Best place to head over after a workout and use the sauna/cold plunge! Chloe, Nicole, and Dani are always so helpful and attentive, please check them out!

    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!

    Why it's worth hard earned cash? Imagine your body as a…read moresymphony orchestra--each instrument representing a system: muscles, nerves, hormones, immune cells. When you're in chronic pain or stress, the orchestra plays out of tune--the violins screech, the percussion races, the flutes can't keep up. Now imagine magnesium as the conductor's tuning fork. It doesn't play an instrument itself. It doesn't hand you new strings or hit the drums. Instead, it emits a calming resonance--subtle, precise--that helps the musicians retune themselves. When you immerse yourself in a float tank, it's like laying the entire orchestra in a perfectly quiet concert hall filled with that tuning resonance. The magnesium ions, the warm water, the silence, the weightlessness--all create a chemical and sensory silence where your body's instruments can hear themselves again and fall back into alignment.

    A bit surprised by all the hyper positive reviews…read more If this had been my first float experience I'm not sure I'd ever have gone back. Instead of the egg-shaped pods, Float clinic has little rooms which I thought looked roomy and interesting based on the photos. The good: * I do like how you can step directly from the shower into the float tank. The tanks are fairly roomy, I'm 5'8" and felt I had a decent amount of room. * the bathroom was clean and equipped with hair dryers * the lobby is cute and inviting * friendly staff, good overview of the float process The meh: * my float tank door didn't close all the way, and my room light didn't automatically turn off which was distracting. I eventually got out and flipped the switch * salt wasn't fully dissolved, tank maybe a little oversaturated * I actually prefer the elliptical pods, I found the corners distracting * shower curtain was gross, I wish they just had like a half wall which would be easier to clean * there was caution tape in the shower and the frame around the door of the tank was popping off - just didn't look that nice. * just the one bathroom and the hairdryers are in there so you hold up the toilet if you use them - would be nice if there was a separate space for this * the place I usually go has thoughtful touches like little packages of Vaseline to cover any small scrapes so the salt doesn't burn, hot tea available, other little things - Float Clinic didn't have those, was pretty bare bones. Final verdict: for me, this was just ok. I've had a much nicer float experience at my usual spot and now I'm spoiled. Glad I got a float in while I was in town but wouldn't return.

Well in middle-age, floating has been a necessary and therapeutic service that allows me to continue to stay active, reduce stress, and recover. Upon my last visit, I was informed of the new contrast service. I have never cold plunged before. I regularly utilize the cryo tank at least 4 times a year, so I thought why not? I was a little nervous, but the contrast room has the perfect aesthetic, and the combination of the dry sauna and cold plunge was AMAZING! The cold plunge is not for the faint at heart, but after researching the many benefits, well worth it! After my session, I immediately felt the differences. My body is still reaping the benefits well in 48 hours. I floated first, then did the contrast. For me, my dream recovery and refocus services for mind, body, and spirit! Great job, Float State! My only small disappointment, I miss the old staff and their genuine rapport and personalities. When I came in, they new my name and I felt like family. Now, I just feel like a number. No one is rude or unpleasant, their body language and conversation is just low effort. There are a couple of individuals I know by name, but the enthusiasm isn't the same. Like I said, this is relatively small and by no means takes away from the experience.

That never happened. Every shot after my package purchase was deducted from my paid package across three membership cycles while my complimentary shots went unused. When I raised this in writing, I was given an audit that actually confirmed the problem rather than resolving it. I escalated to request GM involvement, called the location twice, was redirected to the Venice location, and never received a callback. Two weeks later, still no resolution. The staff are pleasant and the facilities are lovely but the billing practices and customer service at the assistant manager level are a serious problem. If you purchase a package here, document everything in writing and verify every transaction carefully.
