I love it here. I just wish there were sno showers at this location. I also wish they had a parking lot. Those are the only reasons I have it 4 stars. Also cancencelling on the app a day before does sufficient. You will have to do a whole other month I love the infused hand towels.

Ive been coming to the Lakeview location for over a year after seeing an Instagram offer and thought I'd check it out. Everyone at the Lakeview location is fantastic! Ive never had a bad time and i look forward to my weekend sessions to relax and catch up on a show. Def worth the memembership to include the sauna rooms that include the private shower. My preferred streaming service, temp, and light preferences are always set up when i arrive. Filtered water station, towels, body wash, shampoo & conditioner are provided for you; just show up and enjoy!

AprilLocal Guide · 10 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews April has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I did the $20 trial. Decided on a monthly pass. They credited the $20 to the price of the unlimited monthly pass. So $179. One session is $60 so unlimited ( can only go once a day so not really unlimited) is worth it of you go once a week. I always find parking but I do have to pay the meter and sometimes meter is broken. Wish I knew the cold showers weren't available at this location. And wish I knew if you get a room with a shower your session is still only 40 minutes. I have problems getting the volume on the TV to work. Everyone is nice. It's always clean. I love the eucalyptus cold towels. I don't like how I had to put a card on file. I probably won't renew because it's hard for me to schedule due toy schedule not being very rigid.

April, thank you for the review and for taking the time to share this feedback!
We’re glad you enjoyed the clean studio, our team, and the eucalyptus cold towels, and we’ll use your notes to keep improving!

I really enjoy going to the infrared sauna, especially in the Winter. I always sleep better after the sauna. I’m an acupuncturist in Chicago and I recommend the infrared sauna to some of my patients.

We love hearing that your IR sauna sessions help you sleep better, especially during the winter. Coming from an acupuncturist, your recommendation truly means a lot to our team. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
