The first ‘social wellness club’ is now open in Los Angeles’ West Hollywood neighborhood. Called Remedy Place, the facility opened its doors on November 21 at 8305 Sunset Boulevard, intended to become a ‘gathering place for those seeking to achieve a state of balance,’ according to the brand. 

The new club, which is open to the public, is the vision of Founder Dr. Jonathan Leary, a concierge wellness doctor with a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences and a celebrity following. Meant to help its members achieve balance throughout seven elements of balance, according to Dr. Leary’s philosophy, the club encompasses treatment areas, a members’ lounge, a meditation room and a nutritional bar. These are, “Mind, oxygen, movement, nutrients, cold, heat and compression.” Treatment-experiences range from infrared sauna, to ice baths, to cryotherapy and hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy. 

Of the opening, Dr Leary shares, “Remedy Place is the manifestation of my life’s work – which is to radically change the way society integrates education into wellness. Our current healthcare model is dependent and reactive, but I believe people should be independent and proactive. This can only be done through education. I want people to take back control, to utilize incredible technologies that exist today to keep their bodies in a healthy state of balance through preventative care that counteracts these stressors, so they don’t build up and push their health over the edge. To do this, I wanted to create a place that was communal in nature, so that one can incorporate wellness into their social life – because the two can and should go hand in hand.”

Treatments are meant to be fast and accommodating to busy schedules of members, and include both group fitness classes, group meditation classes and recovery treatments, such as lymphatic drainage massage and movement therapy. Curated pairings of recovery treatments are also available to members, and include items such as a “Post-LAX, designed to reset and rebalance after the travails of travel utilizing hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy, infrared sauna and an ice bath with breath work,” and a “Morning After, to combat a hangover using cryotherapy, infrared sauna and a lymphatic drainage massage.” Additionally, all services can be paired with auditory meditation journeys designed in partnership with Master & Dynamic. 

Remedy Place is now open to the public and services and classes start at $30.
