- Private suite with infrared sauna and cold plunge
- Credit membership rather than a single drop-in menu
- Float, cryotherapy, LED, IV, compression, and Aescape listed on the Studio City location page. Aescape tables here can run the Brady Protocol: a 30-minute deep-tissue session co-developed with Tom Brady from his work with body coach Alex Guerrero, working the posterior chain from calves to traps at a pressure you control. Aescape says it runs on every table, including partner locations, but confirm when you book.

Thinking about home?
Unlimited here is about $159 a month, or about $1,908 a year. A hard-shell plunge with a chiller runs about $4,990 to $7,990, so daily use pays it back in roughly 2.6 to 4.2 years. Plunge less than a few times a week and the membership usually wins. Compare home cold plunges or home saunas.
