Open mapIt depends on format. For communal Finnish heat and real plunges, Teddy's Hot House in Venice Beach and Club Contrast in Sherman Oaks lead our list, with IcePass for one pass across Westside partner gyms. For a private suite with an immersion plunge, Pause Studio (six LA locations), SweatHouz, and Nordic Nirvana near Studio City are the picks. For a low-cost private room, Joe's Posture Reset in Santa Monica publishes a flat $45 drop-in. For a Korean spa day with hot and cold baths, try Wi Spa or Beverly Hot Springs. Perspire locations pair infrared with a SNØ cold shower, not a plunge tub.
From our studio notes: private suite intros and drop-ins often about $40 to $80, Teddy's communal about $48, Club Contrast in Sherman Oaks $38 solo or $65 for two, Beverly Hot Springs entrance $50 weekday / $55 weekend (2-hour bathhouse access), Wi Spa day admission $40, Aroma entrance $20 with the service rule, Riviera Torrance spa pass $35, Voda Spa facility use $110, IcePass day pass $44, franchise suites vary by pack, and social clubs can run much higher day passes. Confirm live rates before you book.
Usually yes for private suites and guided ice classes. Communal clubs still fill peak evenings and weekends. Use Book on each card to open the operator site, or ClassPass where a studio is flagged.
A swimsuit, refillable water bottle, and sandals cover most rooms. Some suites provide towels; communal clubs may ask you to bring your own. Check the studio page for locker and shower notes before you go. Our first contrast session guide has a calm packing checklist.
The Westside (Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Playa) has the densest cluster, then Valley / Cahuenga (Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Porter Ranch, Valencia) and WeHo / Mid-Wilshire / Koreatown (Beverly Hot Springs, Wi Spa, Aroma). Brentwood / Culver, Pasadena, and South Bay / Long Beach (Pause El Segundo and Long Beach, Perspire South Bay on Torrance PCH, Perspire Long Beach Exchange, Be Spa Redondo, Sandbox Redondo and Torrance, Riviera Torrance, SweatHouz Belmont Shore) round out the live list. Use the neighborhood filters below to jump into the listings.
For full immersion, book a studio labeled plunge or ice bath. Perspire Porter Ranch on Rinaldi, Perspire Marina del Rey on Lincoln, Perspire Santa Monica on Montana, Perspire Brentwood on Wilshire, Perspire Culver City on La Cienega, Perspire South Bay on Torrance PCH, and Perspire Valencia on Valencia Blvd all use a SNØ cold rainfall shower inside private infrared suites and are labeled that way so you know it is not a plunge tub. Perspire Long Beach Exchange is private infrared on our list, but SNØ is not confirmed there, so confirm cold options when booking. For the franchise head-to-head, see SweatHouz vs Perspire.
For traditional Finnish heat, start with Teddy's Hot House in Venice Beach or IcePass partner gyms on the Westside. In the Valley, Club Contrast in Sherman Oaks runs communal dry saunas with six cold plunge tubs. For a Russian banya day spa with cold plunge in WeHo, see Voda Spa. For mineral hot springs plus a published cold plunge in Koreatown, see Beverly Hot Springs. For Wilshire Korean spa day passes with cold baths or pools, see Wi Spa or Aroma; for Torrance metro, see Riviera Health Spa. For a locked infrared suite with its own plunge, book Nordic Nirvana, Pause (Brentwood, WeHo, Venice, Studio City, South Bay, or Long Beach), Pure Recovery in Sherman Oaks (traditional or infrared), a SweatHouz location (including Long Beach on East PCH), Be Spa Redondo, Sandbox Fitness Club (Redondo or Torrance), Joe's Posture Reset on Pico, or RVIVL in Playa Vista. For private infrared plus SNØ on Torrance PCH, see Perspire South Bay. For private infrared at Long Beach Exchange without a confirmed plunge, see Perspire Long Beach Exchange. Remedy Place WeHo is guided social ice more than a Finnish floor.
Private suites (Pause, SweatHouz, Nordic Nirvana, Pure Recovery, RVIVL, Joe's Posture Reset, Be Spa) are quieter and easier for first timers. Communal Finnish spots (Teddy's, IcePass partners) and the Club Contrast communal floor in Sherman Oaks feel more traditional and social. Voda Spa is a WeHo Russian banya facility-use floor. Beverly Hot Springs is a Koreatown mineral bathhouse with entrance Pricing. Wi Spa and Aroma are Wilshire Korean spa / jjimjilbang day passes; Riviera is Torrance metro. Remedy Place is a social club with guided ice bath classes.
First Finnish ritual: Teddy's Hot House in Venice Beach. Private infrared trial with ClassPass: SweatHouz Venice on Lincoln or Pause Brentwood. Pause Venice on W Washington is the original Pause private-suite pin nearby. Multi-gym Finnish pass: IcePass Paradiso flagship in Venice Beach. Private suite on Santa Monica Broadway: SweatHouz Santa Monica. Private infrared plus SNØ shower on Montana: Perspire Santa Monica. Private infrared plus SNØ shower on Lincoln in Marina del Rey: Perspire Marina del Rey. Book on the studio page, not here.
Pause Studio City for Pause credits on Ventura. Pure Recovery Sherman Oaks for traditional or infrared private contrast with a real plunge. Club Contrast on Ventura Blvd for a communal sauna and plunge floor at $38 a drop-in. Nordic Nirvana for boutique private suites on the Cahuenga Pass. Perspire Porter Ranch on Rinaldi for private infrared plus SNØ cold shower when a Valley cold shower is enough (not a plunge). The hub compares formats; each studio page is where you book.
Stronger than in most of our cities, but still spotty by location. Pause Brentwood and SweatHouz Venice show up often; Pure Recovery Sherman Oaks also shows ClassPass inventory on our checks. Pause WeHo is less consistent. Treat ClassPass as a trial channel, confirm in the app before you drive, and expect to book many sessions direct.
A studio is usually a timed private or small communal contrast room. A bathhouse is a day-pass multi-room heat and cold house. A banya is a Russian or Ukrainian-style wet or dry bathhouse. A jjimjilbang is a Korean spa with heat rooms and cold pools. Confirm format on the venue site before you book.

New on our LA list: Club Contrast (Sherman Oaks), a communal floor with six cold plunge tubs on Ventura Blvd; Perspire South Bay on Torrance PCH; Perspire Long Beach Exchange on McGowen; Perspire Porter Ranch on Rinaldi in the north Valley; and Perspire Valencia on Valencia Blvd in Santa Clarita. ClassPass is stronger here than in most cities (Pause Brentwood and SweatHouz Venice clearest on our checks). Perspire Porter Ranch (Rinaldi), Perspire Marina del Rey (Lincoln), Perspire Santa Monica (Montana), Perspire Brentwood (Wilshire), Perspire Culver City (La Cienega), Perspire South Bay (Torrance PCH), and Perspire Valencia (Valencia Blvd) are the seven SNØ pins: private infrared plus a cold rainfall shower, not a plunge tub. Perspire Long Beach Exchange on McGowen is private infrared on our list too, but SNØ is not confirmed there, so confirm cold options when booking. Beverly Hot Springs is a Koreatown mineral bathhouse entrance (hot springs plus published cold plunge), not a timed private suite. Wi Spa, Aroma Spa & Sports, and Riviera Health Spa (Torrance metro) add Korean spa / jjimjilbang day-pass options. South Bay now also lists Pause South Bay (El Segundo), Pause Long Beach, Perspire South Bay (Torrance PCH), Perspire Long Beach Exchange, Be Spa Redondo, and Sandbox Fitness Club (Redondo + Torrance) alongside Riviera and SweatHouz Long Beach. Club Contrast on Ventura Blvd is the new Sherman Oaks communal sauna and plunge floor ($38 drop-in, opened October 2026). Voda Spa is a WeHo Russian banya day spa with $110 facility use, closed Tuesday. Nordic Nirvana is Studio City · Cahuenga Pass, not Culver City. RESET on Third is closed and excluded from the live count.
