Detox Lounge

My husband and I walked more than a mile yesterday to try this place out, but when we arrived, the windows were covered with brown paper and the doors were locked. There was no sign on the door explaining why they were closed during their regular business hours. We asked one of the guys who worked at Basic next door if he knew what was going on, but he didn’t.
We tried calling yesterday and today, but the phones seem to be down. This looks like a great business concept, but they need to do a better job of communicating with customers, even if they’re experiencing a temporary setback/​closure.
We were excited about trying this place out, but can’t tell what’s going on?

My new addiction! I love sitting in the sauna, sipping my cucumber water, listening to the radio and reading my magazines! This place is clean, staff are all very nice and I never had any trouble reserving a time slot. They have even accommodated me if I wanted to come in early or was running a few minutes late. I bought the $ 99 unlimited month and I’m making good use out of it!
I did the master weight loss cleanse as well, and it was delicious! I personally didn’t feel hungry or craved anything else when I did it. Definitely plan on trying the other juice cleanse.

Possibly my favorite juice cleanse I’ve done. I’ve had many and this one is pure juice and the bottles are glass so after, you can keep them and reuse them if you decide to make your own juice. I tend to get their juices when they offer some sort of special (Thanksgiving 3 Day for $ 150? HELL YES)
I also done their foot bath which I loved, but now is discontinued :(
I’m planing on possibly getting the unlimited infrared sauna pass next month. I think it’s really worth it! I felt really good after doing a session. I had a bad cough but when I was in the sauna, I didn’t hack at all!

I can’t rave about Detox Lounge enough! I was diagnosed with mercury toxicity due to amalgam fillings that had leaked. This was causing extreme fatigue and brain fog. The infrared saunas have been a crucial component to my overall detox program. I have more energy and clarity after each session. The price can’t be beat either — other infrared saunas which aren’t as nice cost 3x as much. I use the sauna 3x per week so it averages to about $ 10/​session. The people who work here are so nice and knowledgeable — I plan on trying the juice cleanse next. Bring a book or a magazine, relax and enjoy yourself!

I was recently hit with a bad case of Vertigo, which I get every few years. I’ve read that far infrared can help ward this off by stimulating blood circulation.
I started doing my research around town, and found Detox Lounge, which offers an absolutely amazing deal on the infrared sauna: only 100 bucks for unlimited use for a month!!! I purchased it and probably did infrared 3 to 4 times a week for a month. I felt rejuvenated and completely relaxed after each session. It made my dizziness fade just a little bit more each time.
Andrea was usually at the front desk and was extremely helpful (thanks Andrea!). My month is up, but I will definitely be returning for another round next month.
Thank you Detox Lounge!

The truth behind «detox footbath»

Did a foot bath detox and infrared sauna with my boyfriend. AHH so relaxing on a Sunday. I give this place a 5 because I ABSOLUTELY love love love the director or operations DANITZA. Shes super fun and even though shes pregnant shes super energetic and funny! My boyfriend and I enjoyed being here for most of the day even if we had to wait a little. I can’t wait to do the master cleanse! xoxo

Everything about the DL is awesome. I just finished 2 days of raw food made by their chef, Chris. Everything was delicious + I did not feel deprived at all. In fact, I even shared the desserts (yeah desserts) with my husband and he love them too.
I am now on day 2 of their juice cleanse and feeling great. The juice tastes good, even the green ones, and some of them are so delicious that I have to stop myself from guzzling (you’re supposed to sip)! Feeling good and I’ve already lost 3lbs.
Definitely go in for an infrared sauna during your cleanse to help with the detox and withdrawal symptoms, I had a gnarly caffeine withdrawal headache, a bonus is that 1 session burns 400 – 600 calories!!!
Give them a try, the staff is amazing and knowledgeable, the food and juice are great, and you can sweat the calories equivalent to a 3 mile jog on your lunch break!

I was in SD for a couple days and was craving some juice, specifically anything as far from alcohol as one could get, so I Unilocaled the closest place to my hotel and Detox came up. Most of the reviews talk about the cleanses or the infared sauna treatments, but not so much the individual juices, which should have been a red flag for this specific mission (though the infared sauna treatments sound magical), but it was the only business that came up that didn’t rhyme with Mamba Loose.
I walked in and it’s set up more like a spa than a juice place, and there was just one small refrigerator with a handful of ready-​to-​drink juices. They were in 12. oz glass bottles and instead of having names, they had times of the day, as well as a list of their ingredients. I picked two up and proceeded to the woman at the «counter.» When she said $ 25, I wanted to throw a hissy fit, as I don’t even pay that in LA where you have to decide between a detox and filling your tank up because the juice craze has gotten so pricey (I usually pay $ 8-​$ 10 for a juice). Not sure what makes these juices so exciting (read: expensive), as they tasted like all the juices I’m used to chugging down (beets, parsley, kale, apple, celery, ginger, etc.).
Clearly I should have done a little more research before selecting Detox, but $ 25 for two juices? Maybe I’m just getting old and crabby, rattling off what prices used to be in «my day.»

Love this place. I’m visiting San Diego, and I had searched for a gym with Infrared Saunas to no avail. Then I found out about Detox Lounge, and have been going for about a month. Staff are really friendly (even when I missed an appointment) and if you don’t know about Infrared Saunas, you should check out the research on them. They are particularly effective at clearing toxins from the body, no matter if the toxins come from the environment, your diet, lifestyle or bad habits.
Also love the foot detox. Not so sure about the research or science on that, but I feel a lot better afterwards.
Have not tried the juices, so can’t comment on that.

Literally obsessed with this place! I’ve recently been exposed to toxic black mold and it was causing me to be very ill. I was unable to run, hard time breathing, sever pain in my kidneys and liver and body was full of toxins. I Just so happened to walk past the detox lounge, from the moment I stepped foot in the door I was impressed. Which is not easy to do, to say the least. Danestia helped me, explained the wonders of the detox foot bath and infrared saunas. I was skeptical because even doctors have not been able to successfully relieve my symptoms. I used the sauna that day and drank my first bottle of juice and have been back everyday since. I drive all the way from la Mesa to use the sauna and grab my juice daily. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I’ve already referred two friends this week who are now also obsessed! The service and quality Of products is hard to find these days! Loves it ;)

I had purchased a coupon for myself and my boyfriend it was the sauna and a foot-​bath combo. I had tried several different types of saunas but never the infrared sauna. I also have had a foot detox before. I really like the infrared sauna, the heat was different than the traditional sauna no steam and I liked it better. And apparently my body liked it too, as I was able to stretch afterwards with no pain. And we shared the couple sauna and it had plenty of room for us both and the downtime together was very nice and peaceful. And the foot bath was a nice finish, I always feel better after pulling toxins out. Megan was our assistant and I was impressed with her ability to answer all my questions and her friendly personality. We will definitely recommend the Detox Lounge to our friends. One side note it would probably be a good idea to wash off your face makeup before the sauna… my skin didn’t like the combo of heat and makeup…
We didn’t purchase any juice but Megan gave us samples and it tasted really good… I would be interested in the future of giving that a try.

My newest addition to my monthly upkeep:)
After much research I finally came across Detox Lounge! I have tried this place twice and have seen optimal results each time. I have brought the juices to work each time and felt energized and full throughout the day (especially if you follow the water/​time guidelines). Although, if you could do it on your day off… do it because you can even schedule a sauna sesh/​take a hot yoga class and have the best overall detox.
My results:
+Glowing skin (probably the best my skin has EVER looked)
+Helped me continue my self-​discipline eating healthy
+Cleansed my entire bodyyyy, feels sooo good
I recently picked up my cleanse on a Thursday and it feel on a Padres game… parking was ridiculously discouraging. So, I called them and Megan picked up and offered to run my cleanse outside (mind you if was pretty far away). Next thing you know she’s running outside hand delivering my juices– amazing customer service! Thank you Megan! :)
Give this place a try, it’s sooo yummy & I promise you’ll see results!

I am blown away impressed by the quality of service, the quality of the juices and the facility. I am a huge juice enthusiast. I drink 32 – 64 oz of fresh pressed raw organic juice a day. The detox lounge has the best tasting juices I have ever had. I have done the 3 day juice cleanse, and now I am doing the master cleanse. Yesterday I had my first infrared suana experience. It was fabulous. I showered before coming in and used an icy towel to wipe off after the sauna and it was so invigorating… It was so nice to have hot alone me time :-) I plan to make this place a weekly stop in my health. I won’t get on my covered dump tangent… ok just a little. Balboa park=covered dump… theyre everywhere not as bad as NY, but everywhere, constantly secreting benzene and methane into the environment. We are constantly flooded with toxins. And what people call «food» and what food is intended from nature for people is VERY different. The detox lounge allows you to build your immunities and set you up for life success. PLUS you will look amazing and feel even better. It is all about quality of life and this place definitely helps.
I am so thrilled to go to the Detox Lounge, it is truly a spa health filled experience. The staff is amazing. The concept is genius… My abs are flatter, my mind is clearer, I am more happy. Thank You Detox Lounge

When the detox juicing bandwagon hit full speed in LA and NY, I felt a bit left out being here in San Diego, away from all the juicing hoopla. And then Detox Lounge swept into town with its hydraulic press juicer and I am now on my first official juice cleanse.
I’ve done cleanses before, but never one with fresh organic juice. I purchased the 3 day juice cleanse and arranged for it to be delivered to my house. There was a problem with the delivery but the employee brought my juices to my workplace the next day and offered to bring the rest to my home in the evening.
The juices themselves are pretty good tasting. They’re all juice, no pulp or soupy fiber texture. The bottles are clearly marked by what time of day you should drink them and they do a pretty good job of keeping me full, as long as I can’t smell food nearby. The juices come in glass containers, so if you’re picking them up at Detox Lounge, be sure not to park too far away since they’re a bit heavy.
When you purchase the juice cleanse, you also get a couple of free infrared sauna visits. You’re led into your private sauna, where you disrobe and wear a towel in the sauna and sit there for up to an hour. The sauna itself is a bit small; probably best to only have one person it in at a time. I spent 45 minutes in mine and sweated up a storm. Thank goodness for the cold wet towel (fresh from the fridge) and the bottle of cucumber water sitting on ice!
Also, because of my delivery snafu, I also got a complimentary Aqua Detox foot bath. After all that sweating, fasting and cleansing, I slept like a baby last night.
When I woke up, I had lost 3 pounds from the day before (I know it’s all water but I’m grateful for what I saw on the scale). Day 2 of fasting is much better than day 1. The juice fast regimen is packed with veggies and nutrients, so although your body isn’t taking in any roughage, I do believe it is getting fed nutrients and vitamins. I only had minor fasting discomfort — feeling a bit cold and sleepy in the morning and afternoon.
The juices themselves are very drinkable and taste like their ingredients — the green ones (3 of the 6 daily juices are green) taste a bit like a liquid salad with minor flavor variations. One is a bit bitter and sour (celery and balsamic vinegar are key ingredients), one more sweet (green apples), and one is like a minty salad (mint). There’s also a red one made with beets which is mildly sweet, and another one with carrot and pineapple (my favorite).
The juice cleanse goes for $ 75 per day for 6 bottles of juice or $ 225 for the three day cleanse. Delivery is $ 10 extra. Yes, it’s a tad pricier than other juice cleanses but if you take advantage of the infrared sauna, then you’re getting a little extra with your cleanse.
Detox Lounge is right across the street from Petco Park and Fit. Parking is an every man for himself situation but the meters go off after 6 pm.
Juicing with Detox Lounge is pricey but a nice thing to do maybe once or twice a year. Plus, the organic juices are locally made and fresh off the hydraulic press. Staff is exceedingly nice and polite and the place has a very minimalist, zen like quality (see the living wall of plants).
For those of you who say you can make your own juice for $ 5, I know a couple of people who bought their own juicers but they soon realized that it takes a ton of work and money to buy the ingredients (it takes A LOT of veggies and fruits), make the juice and then dismantle your juicer and clean out the darn thing.
I don’t know if juicing really does allow your body to detox, but in principle fasting is done all over the world for various reasons. One theory is that if you give your body a break from digesting, it can focus on healing. I decided to do a juice fast to reboot my weight loss efforts and restart healthier eating habits.

So I had the opportunity to retry the 3 day juice cleanse because the previous try wasn’t so great. This time, it went SO MUCH BETTER for a few reasons. Not only were they on-​time for picking up the juice, but they dropped it off at Barry’s Bootcamp in Hillcrest, so I could pick it up after my work out instead of driving all the way downtown. As BBC trainers do a ton of advertising for them, I think this makes sense.
This time around, the juices were fresh and awesome and each one tasted differently from the others. This is important when all you’re drinking is this juice all day (you want it to taste good). So they had all the flavors, it worked out great and I felt better. Note to future juicers — wean yourself off of caffeine (including any iced tea) a few days before doing the cleanse. It makes a world of difference.
I also had concerns about picking up 3 days worth of nice rather than 1 day due to nutrient loss, but it was explained to me that because of the type of press they use, it is OK. Good to know. The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is the price is too high to do it consistently. I hope in the future they offer specials (like a 2 for 1) or groupons.

Quick breakdown– service and quality– 5 stars. 2 stars lost for (mostly) price and (somewhat) crazy ‘good vibes infused’ nonsense.
I was very skeptical about the 3 day juice cleanse– but I’ll say this, it wasn’t bad. I felt pretty great by the end of it (once the caffeine with drawl symptoms subsided) and the staff was VERY friendly and kind. The juice was better than I expected. The only down side– it’s pretty expensive. $ 225 for a 3 day cleanse. But for me, I wanted to see what the «juicing» fuss was about and I didn’t want to worry about figuring it out on my own.
Some of the «good vibes» stuff was a bit much for me– so I just ignored it (Like– I don’t really care or believe that my juice is ‘infused with good karma’ or whatever), but it was a deal breaker for my husband who decided not to do it after reading that part of their website.
I definitely plan on juicing again– this time for longer — so unfortunately I don’t think Detox Lounge will get my business that go round. I think they only offer a 3 and 5 day cleanse and it’s just too expensive. For $ 225 I can buy a really nice juicer and make my own. eventually I think they will taste as good.

After doing the three day detox juice cleanse I honestly felt great! The staff is super friendly and helpful! My husband and I had a great experience there. With all new businesses, there are kinks to be worked out, which is why I believe people have given negative ratings. I definitely would recommend the place and have to friends! It definitely made me feel great and was definitely a challenge for me to just have juices but I could tell at the end of the three days I felt lighter and healthy! I couldnt not work out on the detox but I was able to push through my workouts with enough energy from the juices. When I was hungry, the staff was so nice to provide more juice and fresh coconut water to assist! SO yum! Overall, I think anyone who wants to do a three day detox would be happy with the juices as they are all delicious!
Excellent work detox lounge, staff and owner! We loved it!
Oh PS, the detox foot bath was a crazy wake up call! toxins are disgusting!!! :)

Infrared Sauna… took 5 minutes to feel like I was loosing weight. I lost 4 lbs. Great place to relax, the candles add a priceless touch!
Its the place to start the New Year for me!

A friend called and asked me if I wanted to go do an Aqua Detox foot bath. I had no idea what it was but decided to go with her. We went to Detox Lounge and what a special treat. The staff is friendly, professional and the space is designed extremely well.
I had been sick for a few weeks and feeling sluggish until the treatment. I felt so revitalized and back to normal after one treatment that I am going back for another one this week and taking my sister with me. I highly recommend Detox Lounge. Next on my list is the juice detox.
