Details last checked
The PARC is a Blaine fitness-and-recovery center that grew out of the Active Kids Association of Sport, pairing a full cardio and strength gym and group class studios with a shared recovery suite holding an infrared sauna, a traditional sauna and cold plunge tubs. What separates it from a gym with a locker-room sauna is that recovery is sold on its own: you reserve a session online through WellnessLiving with no membership, and first-time visitors get a free two-hour run of the place with no credit card required. A single Wellness Experience visit is $39.99 and a 10 Pack Recovery Pass is $250; the site also names three month-to-month memberships, including a Sauna & Cold Plunge tier, without ever printing their monthly prices. No sauna or plunge temperature is published anywhere on the site - not on the recovery page, the services page or the about page - so how cold the tubs actually run is unknown from their own material. Hours are unusually long for the category, opening at 5am on weekdays.
How it compares in Minneapolis
Its $39.99 drop-in sits below the Minneapolis median of $40, across the 15 studios here that publish one. It does not publish a plunge temperature (3 of the 36 Minneapolis studios we track do) — worth asking when you book. Not published access puts it with 12 of the 36 studios we track here; the rest run a different model.
