Clean, calming, and accessible — a great spot for solo self-care
I’ve now been to Beem Sauna’s Excelsior location a few times and have been consistently impressed by how neat, clean, and thoughtfully laid out the space is. Each room I’ve tried feels fresh and well-maintained — no clutter, no weird smells, no stress.
There are several red light therapy machines, including a standing red light room that looks like it could be wheelchair-accessible (huge plus for disability inclusivity). I used the 15-minute red light bed, which was stocked with blackout goggles and face wipes — a small touch, but appreciated. After that, I booked a 45-minute solo sauna room. It was lovely: private, serene, and included a cold towel with peppermint essential oil waiting for me.
As an autistic person who also lives with chronic pain, I’ve found this kind of therapy to be genuinely beneficial. The warmth, routine, and sensory environment are soothing, and I experience real relief in my body after sessions. This has become a valuable tool in my care toolkit.
Purchasing a monthly package was smooth, and the front staff were helpful overall. That said, I found the way the membership plans were explained a little confusing at first — I have Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), so I asked for a rephrasing, and they happily obliged, which made the experience feel more accessible. Big thumbs up for that. There is a Beem Sauna app to be used for booking, very user friendly.
One small note: I did ask about a teacher discount and the staff weren’t sure — so if you’re in education (like me), maybe ask in advance or check back later.
Parking tip: Excelsior can be tricky, but if you don’t want to pay for metered street parking, there are a couple of 3-hour lots nearby. Timing is everything!
All in all — Beem Sauna feels like a clean, calming place to take care of your body and brain. Excited to...
Read moreWasnt sure what to think about my first Beem session but let me tell you did it exceed my expectations. The venue was perfect. Modern. Spa like feel. Extremely clean. Calming and soothing environment. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I felt like I was VIP which is always wonderful. The red light therapy blew me away. I work out regularly and am often sore post workout. Plus I have lower back pain. Well this session completely relaxed the muscles and took away my soreness. Before long I was so relaxed I started to fall asleep. The sauna was great too. My wife and I shared the 2 person one which was nice. The temperature was perfect too (we set it to 145). Hot enough to sweat and release toxins. But cool enough to remain in the room for 40 mins without reprieve. Changing the colors and listening to calming music just made it even better as we were totally relaxed. Post session was the best though as I felt energized and rejuvenated. This stuff really does work! I will definitely be back and I recommend this to anyone looking to just feel young again and get...
Read moreI have been coming to Beem Excelsior since it opened earlier this year. I was interested in red light therapy for its benefits for reducing joint pain and inflammation throughout the body. I also have seen amazing benefits to skin toning and firming on my face and neck by doing red light therapy. I come out of my red light and sauna session taking an hour for myself to take care of my health and well being. And I love watching my favorite Netflix shows uninterrupted during my sauna time....
