I have been going to Awaken Spa for about 4 months, twice a week. I spend 40 minutes in the sauna, and then 5 minutes in the cold plunge. Signing up is easy, Cris is super friendly and the place is immaculate. I love that the sauna and the cold plunge is in a private room, you really enjoy privacy and able to relax. I have experienced the following benefits from the consistent hot/cold exposure: Immunity: I haven’t gotten sick at all since I started! Given that I started in November, in New Jersey, you know there are tons of viruses out there, and last winter before I started coming to Awaken I got the cold numerous times. Sleep: as a menopausal woman my sleep was not perfect and since it has gotten a lot better since! Skin: my skin is clear and soft without any products. Recovery: I do workout often, and it helps with muscle recovery tremendously. Mood: the red light feels like the sun on my skin, it’s amazing especially during a NJ winter Being in the cold water is a mental challenge, that I feel really proud of being able to do! All and all I don’t think I will ever stop! This place is perfect for you to get all of these benefits...

As someone in a healthcare profession, we had to navigate on-call hours and a couple of reschedules, and Cris was entirely gracious. The infrared heat was gentle yet deeply relaxing—melting away tension without the stifling feel of a traditional sauna.

The little details made all the difference: a spotless space, soft lighting, aromatherapy, and an atmosphere that reminds me to care for myself so that I can better care for others. I always leave a session feeling lighter, both physically and mentally. If you work in healthcare (or any high-stress job), this isn’t just a luxury—it’s also a form of much...
