Whether your muscles are sore after a workout or you just need to relax your mind, sometimes all it takes is a few minutes of focused, feel-good pressure to reset your body.

Introducing HydroMassage—a dry water massage system designed to help you unwind, recover, and recharge without skipping a beat.

This innovative recovery method delivers benefits you can feel almost instantly.

Notably, a study conducted by the Integrative Human Performance Laboratory at Arizona State University found that participants who used HydroMassage after high-intensity lower-body workouts reported significantly less muscle soreness 24 hours post-exercise compared to those who received no treatment.

Let’s take a closer look at why this technology has become a favorite for athletes, gym-goers, wellness seekers, and anyone who wants to feel better, faster.

1. The Benefits of Water (Without the Splash)

HydroMassage uses heated jets of water that move in wave-like patterns underneath a soft, flexible surface, so while it feels like water, you stay completely dry and fully clothed.

You lie back, adjust the intensity and target zones using a touchscreen, and let the machine handle the rest.

Why it works:

• The warmth soothes tired muscles

• The motion mimics massage therapy

• The pressure helps improve blood flow and ease tension

It’s a smart, low-effort way to add recovery into your routine.

2. Recovery On Your Terms

Everyone’s body holds stress differently. Maybe it’s your lower back, your shoulders, or your legs after a long shift or workout. With HydroMassage, you’re in control.

The system allows you to personalize:

• Which areas to target

• How intense the massage feels

• How long your session lasts

No appointments, no changing clothes, and no time wasted. Just hop on, press start, and get the relief you need.

3. Fits Easily Into a Busy Lifestyle

You don’t need an hour to benefit from HydroMassage. Sessions can be as short as 10–15 minutes, making it easy to fit into your lunch break, your post-gym routine, or even a quick reset before heading home.

The convenience makes it easier to stick with — and the more consistent your recovery, the better you’ll feel in the long term.

4. A Different Kind of Wellness Boost

HydroMassage doesn’t try to replace traditional massage or hands-on therapies — it’s just a different kind of tool with a different kind of benefit.

It’s ideal when you:

• Need a quick recharge between errands

• Want to wind down after a tough workout

• Feel mentally foggy and need a calm reset

• Just want 15 minutes to yourself in a quiet space

The combo of warmth, pressure, and control offers real physical and mental relief in a setting that’s approachable and easy to use.

Whether you’re feeling sore, run-down, or just need a refresh, it may be time to chill out with cryotherapy.

Also known as cold therapy, cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that exposes your body to ultra-low temperatures to kickstart powerful natural responses. You can sort of think of it as a reset button for your body — refreshing everything from your muscles to your skin, to your mood.

Let’s break down five science-backed reasons why this increasingly popular treatment can help you feel and look better!

1. Relieve Chronic Pain

For anyone dealing with recurring aches or inflammation, cryotherapy might just be your new go-to treatment. Because the cold constricts blood vessels and numbs nerve endings, cryotherapy can reduce swelling and dull pain almost instantly.

Whether you’re managing joint pain, recovering from a workout, or dealing with chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia, cryotherapy can provide noticeable relief in just a few minutes.

And because it works with your body’s natural healing response, it’s a safe and fast option for staying active and pain-free.

2. Recover Like an Athlete

If you’ve ever seen a pro athlete hop into an ice bath after a game, this is the upgraded version. In fact, a recent report from the Global Wellness Institute found that about 60 percent of professional athletes utilized cryotherapy for recovery and injury prevention.

Cryotherapy helps reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and supports faster recovery by improving circulation and reducing lactic acid buildup.

It’s a favorite for gym rats, weekend warriors, and anyone who wants to keep moving without feeling sore the next day. A few minutes of cold now means fewer skipped workouts later.

3. Boost Your Metabolism and Circulation

Your body naturally works hard to stay warm during a cryo session, and that effort can pay off. Cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict and then quickly expand once the session ends, increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body.

This process helps improve circulation and may also support your metabolism. Notably, some users report feeling more energized and focused for hours after a session — no energy drinks or coffee required.

4. Refresh Your Skin

The benefits of cryotherapy go skin deep, too. Cryotherapy can help stimulate collagen production, reduce redness and puffiness, and improve overall skin tone and texture.

It’s often used by people looking to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines, but it can also help with skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

The result? Smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin — naturally.

5. Boost Your Mood and Mental Wellness

Cryotherapy doesn’t just work your body — it works your mind. The intense cold can trigger the release of feel-good hormones like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin.

That means many people walk out of the chamber feeling more energized, less stressed, and even happier. Some clients even report better sleep and improved mental clarity after regular sessions.

With the spring upon us, now is the perfect time to make your skin glow with the season.

Whether you’re planning a visit to a day club, a rooftop brunch, or just want to shake off that pale winter coat, now’s the time to choose your perfect tan: Ultraviolet (UV) or spray?

Let’s break down the perks of both these methods so you can step into the season with radiating confidence.

What to Know About UV Tanning

For those craving that sun-kissed look that builds naturally over time, UV tanning might be your best bet.

UV tanning beds emit controlled ultraviolet light that stimulates melanin production—similar to the sun, but more precise. You tan gradually across multiple sessions, and your results can last for weeks with proper care.

UV tanning works best with a few sessions to build up color. And as with most things in life, moderation is key.

What to Know About Spray Tanning

Need a tan by tomorrow? Need bronze skin without any UV? Say hello to your sunless soulmate—spray tanning. Spray tanning is a great alternative for delivering flawless, even color that looks natural on all skin tones—and it only takes a few minutes.

Essentially, spray tan liquid reacts with proteins in your skin to create a radiant glow. It develops in a few hours, reaches full color within 24 hours and fades naturally over 5–7 days.

Keep in mind, you’ll want to exfoliate, shave, and skip lotions or perfumes before your appointment. And after your session, you’ll want to avoid water, tight clothing, and anything sweat-inducing for around 6–8 hours to lock in that glow.

Which Look is Right for You?

The truth is, you don’t have to choose just one. Many of our guests mix and match based on their plans, timing, or skin goals — and our team is always here to help you pick what’s best for your desired look.

Whether your preference is UV or spray tanning, our state-of-the-art equipment and professional staff are here to help you find the right tan this spring (and year-round)!
