Gym Recovery in Santa Monica. Private Sauna & Cold Plunge Near You.
If your gym doesn't have a sauna — or you're done sharing one — Posture Lab LA has what you've been looking for. Two fully private recovery suites on Pico Blvd in Santa Monica, each with a Sunlighten infrared sauna, a cold plunge, and a private shower. Post-workout contrast therapy, completely on your terms.
Why athletes and gym-goers use Posture Lab LA
Most Santa Monica gyms either don't have recovery equipment or have one shared sauna that's always busy and no cold plunge. Our private Recovery Rooms were built for people who take their recovery as seriously as their training. Come after your lift, your run, your surf session, or your class — your suite is waiting, nobody's in it, and you have 50–60 minutes to do the full contrast protocol. Infrared sauna first, cold plunge after. Repeat. Leave feeling reset.
Infrared sauna
Full-spectrum Sunlighten infrared sauna at 150°F+. Deep heat that penetrates muscle and fascia — far more effective for post-training recovery than a steam room or dry sauna.
Cold plunge
Private cold plunge at 38–45°F. Two to three minutes is all it takes to crash inflammation, spike dopamine, and reset your nervous system.
Contrast therapy
Three rounds of sauna → cold plunge → rest in a single 50-minute session. The most effective recovery protocol for training adaptation, soreness reduction, and mental clarity.
Simple, flexible pricing
Gym recovery — questions.
Is there a cold plunge near my gym in Santa Monica?+
Posture Lab LA is at 3303 Pico Blvd, Suite G in Santa Monica — close to gyms across the Westside including Venice, Marina del Rey, and Culver City. We're open Mon–Fri 8am–7pm and Sat–Sun 9am–5pm. Easy to stop in before or after a session.
Do I need to book a massage or therapy to use the sauna and cold plunge?+
No. The Recovery Rooms are a completely standalone service. Book a suite, come in, do your protocol, leave. That's it.
What's the difference between your sauna and a gym sauna?+
Most gym saunas are shared dry or steam saunas. Ours are private, full-spectrum Sunlighten infrared saunas — they heat your body differently (deeper tissue penetration, lower ambient temperature) and are significantly more effective for muscle recovery and fascia release. And you have the room to yourself.
Can I bring a training partner?+
Yes — our suites are single or double occupancy. Add a guest at checkout.
