Pause Studio South Bay

820 Pacific Coast Hwy Suite 110, El Segundo, CA

Pause South Bay anchors the El Segundo stretch of Pacific Coast Highway, serving the Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, and LAX-adjacent tech crowd. Pause Studio is a modern recovery and wellness franchise with multiple LA-area locations. Each suite pairs a private full-spectrum infrared sauna with a dedicated cold plunge, plus access to float tanks, cryotherapy, compression, and IV drip services. The design is clean, minimalist, and built around privacy — every sauna sits in its own room, and contrast therapy is done in a single appointment-based session. Pause is best for people who want a consistent, bookable contrast therapy experience without committing to a bathhouse membership or navigating a shared pool deck. Most visitors pair a 60-minute contrast session with optional add-ons like a float or massage. Memberships purchased at any LA location are redeemable across Venice, Brentwood, Studio City, West Hollywood, and South Bay — useful if you move between neighborhoods. Drop-in pricing typically starts around $70 for a contrast session, with multi-session packages bringing the per-visit cost down significantly. The aesthetic leans Santa Monica-modern: white walls, warm wood, neutral upholstery — a clear alternative to the communal Korean-spa or banya format.
