Membership FAQ

Booking, sessions, and what's included.

How do I book a Recovery Room membership session?+

Members book through the same online scheduler as single-session guests. Choose any open suite time, log in with your account, and the membership credit is applied automatically at checkout. Book as far in advance as the schedule allows — weekends fill fastest.

How long is each suite session?+

Every Recovery Room appointment is a 60-minute private suite window. That gives you enough time for a full three-round contrast protocol (sauna → cold plunge → rest) without feeling rushed. Your suite is yours alone for the full hour.

Can I split or share a membership?+

Monthly memberships are for one person and cannot be split between accounts. Combo plans that include massage credits are also non-transferable. You can bring one guest into the suite per session, but the membership holder must be present and is the account the session is booked under.

What is the cancellation policy?+

We ask for at least 12 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a Recovery Room appointment. Cancellations inside 12 hours may be charged the full session rate. If you are on a membership, the missed session counts against your monthly allotment unless you reschedule to another day in the same billing cycle.

What is included in each membership plan?+

All Recovery Room plans include private access to a fully loaded suite with a Sunlighten infrared sauna, cold plunge, private shower, towels, water, and protocol guidance. Combo memberships also include a monthly neuro-fascia massage or posture reset session. Unlimited plans include full amenities, organic products, and post-session tea.

Do memberships auto-renew?+

Yes, monthly memberships auto-renew on the same date each month until you cancel. You can pause or cancel anytime before your next billing date from your account. Unused sessions do not roll over unless your plan explicitly states rollover credits.

Yes — Posture Lab LA is a dedicated contrast therapy studio in Santa Monica, serving Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City, Brentwood and West LA.See also: recovery in Santa Monica · recovery in West LA · recovery in Venice · recovery in Culver City.

What are the benefits of a cold plunge?+

Cold plunging reduces post-exercise inflammation, sharpens mental focus through a large dopamine and norepinephrine response, supports faster muscle recovery, and helps regulate the nervous system. Consistent 2–3x weekly use is where most people notice the biggest change in mood, sleep, and training readiness.

How long should you stay in a cold plunge?+

Two to three minutes is the sweet spot for most people. Beginners can start at 30–60 seconds and build up; the research on recovery benefits centers on 2–5 minutes of total cold exposure per session, split across cycles if needed.

How cold is the cold plunge?+

Our cold plunge runs 38–45°F — cold enough to trigger the full recovery and nervous-system response without needing an extreme temperature. Both Suite A and Suite B use the same setup.

Sauna before or after the cold plunge?+

Sauna first, then cold plunge. Heat opens circulation and softens fascia, and the cold plunge immediately after creates the contrast that drives the recovery response. Finish on cold to leave alert and clear-headed.

What is contrast therapy?+

Contrast therapy alternates deep heat (infrared sauna) with cold immersion (cold plunge) in the same session — typically three rounds of sauna → plunge → rest. The rapid vessel dilation and constriction acts like a pump for circulation, reducing soreness and accelerating recovery.

How often should you do contrast therapy?+

Most of our members come 2–3x per week. Athletes in heavy training blocks sometimes come daily, and people using it for stress and sleep tend to land around twice a week.

What are the benefits of an infrared sauna?+

Infrared sauna heat penetrates deeper into muscle and fascia than a traditional sauna. Regular use supports cardiovascular conditioning, deep muscular release, better sleep, and detoxification through sweat — with sessions typically 30–45 minutes at 140–160°F.

Cold plunge after a workout — good idea?+

For pure recovery and next-day readiness, yes — a cold plunge after training reduces soreness and inflammation. If your primary goal for that workout is muscle hypertrophy, wait 4–6 hours after lifting before plunging so you don't blunt the growth signal.

How long is a Recovery Room session?+

About 50–60 minutes in your private suite — enough time for a full three-round contrast protocol with rest between cycles.

Can I bring a friend?+

Yes — our suites are fully private and guest-friendly. Add a second guest at checkout for double occupancy.

What should I bring to a Recovery Room session?+

Just a swimsuit. We provide towels, a private shower and changing area, water, and protocol guidance.

Do I need to be a member to book a Recovery Room?+

No — you can book a single session anytime, or save with a multi-session pack or monthly membership if you plan to come regularly.
