Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light to warm your body directly—helping you sweat more deeply at a lower temperature. This process supports the elimination of toxins like heavy metals and environmental pollutants through the skin, your body’s largest detox organ. Over time, consistent use can help you feel lighter, clearer, and more balanced from the inside out.
Deep Detoxification
Infrared heat penetrates deep into the muscles and joints, helping to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and ease stiffness or soreness after workouts. Whether you’re recovering from a Lagree session, dealing with chronic pain, or just need a reset, the infrared sauna promotes faster recovery and supports long-term mobility.
Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief
The mid- and near-infrared wavelengths stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and promote cell turnover—leading to clearer, more radiant skin over time. Regular sessions can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, support elasticity, and leave you with that natural post-sauna glow.
Healthier, Glowing Skin
The gentle heat of the infrared sauna activates your parasympathetic nervous system—calming your mind, easing anxiety, and promoting deeper rest. As your body relaxes and tension melts away, your cortisol levels lower, setting you up for better sleep and improved mood long after your session ends.
Stress Relief & Better Sleep
Boost your recovery in just 3 minutes.
Cold Plunge Therapy in Poway
Cold plunging reduces inflammation, boosts mood and energy, and enhances muscle recovery. Ours is maintained at 50–55°F for optimal benefit without shock. Pair it with the sauna for hot/cold therapy.

Cold plunging causes your blood vessels to constrict, reducing inflammation and flushing out built-up lactic acid in the muscles. As your body rewarms, fresh, oxygenated blood rushes in—speeding up recovery, easing post-workout soreness, and helping your body bounce back faster. It’s the ultimate reset after a tough Lagree class.
Reduce Inflammation & Soreness
That shock of cold isn’t just physical—it sends a powerful jolt to your nervous system, triggering the release of endorphins and norepinephrine (aka the focus hormone). The result? Sharper thinking, elevated mood, and a lasting boost in energy and alertness—often described as better than a cup of coffee.
Boost Energy & Mental Clarity
Regular cold exposure helps condition your body to handle stress more efficiently. Over time, it may support immune system function, improve circulation, and increase your overall tolerance to physical and mental stressors. It’s a small dose of discomfort with a long list of benefits.
Strengthen Immunity & Resilience
While cold plunging is invigorating in the moment, the post-dive benefits are incredibly calming. After your body warms back up, your parasympathetic nervous system takes over—helping you relax, reduce anxiety, and prep for deeper, more restful sleep.
Improve Sleep & Calm the Nervous System
Because you deserve a little extra.
Wellness that supports your lifestyle
In our lounge, you’ll find Hyperice compression sleeves, massage chairs, and yes - Nespresso. Whether you need circulation support or just want to reset between meetings, you’re welcome here.

What’s the difference between an infrared sauna and a traditional sauna?
Infrared saunas use light to heat your body directly, rather than warming the air around you. This creates a deeper, detoxifying sweat at a lower temperature—making it more comfortable and accessible than traditional saunas.
How long should I stay in the sauna?
Start with 20–30 minutes per session. Once your body acclimates, you can build up to 40 minutes. Always listen to your body and stay hydrated throughout.
What should I do before and after my sauna session?
Hydrate well and wear light clothing or a towel. After your session, rinse off, continue hydrating, and take a few moments to rest. Pro tip: alternate with a cold plunge for enhanced hot/cold therapy.
Can I use the sauna after a workout?
Yes—many members love using the sauna post-Lagree. It’s great for reducing muscle soreness, calming the nervous system, and speeding up recovery.
How often should I use the infrared sauna?
For general wellness, 1–2 times per week is perfect. For muscle recovery, stress relief, or detox, up to 4–5 sessions per week can be beneficial—just keep hydrating and listen to your body.
How long should I stay in the cold plunge?
Start with 1–2 minutes and work your way up to 3–5 minutes as your body adjusts. The key is staying calm and focused—quality over quantity.
How often should I cold plunge?
Begin with once per week, then gradually increase as your tolerance and comfort improve.
How cold is the water?
Our plunge is kept between 50–55°F, which is ideal for reducing inflammation and stimulating recovery without over-stressing your body. It’s brisk, but invigorating.
Should I sauna or plunge first?
That’s up to you! Some prefer cold first for the energy boost, others end with it. If you sauna after plunging, we recommend doing a few deep breaths and warming up naturally before stepping in.
Is it better to plunge before or after a workout?
For recovery and soreness relief, plunging after your workout is ideal. Some athletes also use it in the morning to wake up their system and sharpen focus.
