How it works

Sauna Social is exclusive to Pause Studio City and features a communal sweat therapy experience. Book a session online and arrive at any point during your booked hour at Sauna Social. Arrive at the appointment start time to enjoy maximum 60 minutes in the sauna, or come later for an abbreviated session.

At check in, you’ll be provided towels. Women’s and Men’s dressing rooms along with gender neutral bathrooms are available for changing into appropriate sauna attire. No nudity is allowed, and yes that includes wrapping up in the towel provided, so please bring a swimsuit to wear for the entire duration of your Sauna Social experience.

In the Sauna Social suite you’ll find a large, 8 person, full spectrum infrared sauna and 2 cold showers for rinsing off. Enjoy the sauna as you please, entering and exiting at leisure.

At the end of the session window, all guests will vacate the Sauna Social suite. Enjoy another Pause service after or carry on with the rest of your day, feeling all the amazing benefits of infrared heat.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

At Pause Studio, we aim to provide one of the most relaxing infrared sauna experiences in Studio City. We understand that uncertainty could cause anxiety for clients who have never undergone communal sweat therapy before, which is why we compiled a helpful list of frequently asked questions below. Continue reading to find answers to common infrared sauna questions.

  • An infrared sauna is a type of heat therapy that uses light to create heat. Infrared waves penetrate the skin and cause your body to sweat, releasing toxins in the process. Our saunas are completely safe and come with a variety of health benefits, such as improved circulation, detoxification, and weight loss.

    Infrared saunas are completely safe to use. In fact, they are a safer alternative to the vast majority of traditional saunas. A conventional sauna heats air that is then used to heat your body, but it will not penetrate your skin. In contrast, infrared sauna therapies create heat via deep wavelengths that permeate the soft tissue in your body. This provides cellular-level benefits, including detoxification, purification, and relaxation.

  • Our Sauna Social experience allows for up to 60 minutes of uninterrupted infrared sauna usage. To enjoy the full hour experience, plan to arrive 5-10 minutes before your session time to ensure a timely start and maximize the time in the Sauna Social.

    If you don’t need the full 60 minutes in the sauna, feel free to arrive at any time during the duration of your session window. We recommend a minimum of at least 15 minutes in the sauna to experience noticeable benefits.

    No matter how long you plan on staying in the sauna, we recommend intense hydration before, during, and after your time with us. Proper hydration will optimize your final results, and prevent any headaches from occurring. We also recommend eating a light snack about an hour before your scheduled sweat therapy appointment. This will ensure that you don't feel uncomfortable or nauseous while in the sauna.

  • The Sauna Social is a group experience and you will likely be sweating with other guests of all genders. We have extensive safety measures in place to ensure it remains a comfortable space for all guests.

    If you prefer to sauna alone, we recommend booking a regular Sauna or Contrast Therapy appointment and not the Sauna Social experience.

  • The frequency with which you should use an infrared sauna depends on your personal goals and needs. However, we generally recommend using our saunas at least once a week to see optimal results. If you are looking to lose weight, we suggest using our sauna twice a week. Many of our clients find that they sweat much more after their first few sessions, and start feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after the first month. The more you use the infrared sauna, the faster you will see significant changes.

    Regular visits to an infrared sauna can deliver powerful results. A few of the most desirable of these include:

    • Glowing skin

    • Wrinkle reduction

    • Injury relief

    • Fat loss

    If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of an infrared sauna, please contact your local studio to learn more.

  • For the Sauna Social experience, appropriate attire is required at all times. No nudity is allowed and wearing only a towel is not tolerated. Guests are required to wear a swimsuit or light, comfortable athletic attire for the entire duration of the Sauna Social experience. You may also want to bring a change of clothes so that you can feel fresh and clean after your sweat session.
