What is a Normatec compression session like?

You slip into Normatec compression boots that inflate in waves from your feet up, massaging your legs the way elite athletes recover after training. Most people describe it as a deep, rhythmic squeeze — you just sit back and let the boots work.

What equipment is in the TruSelf Recovery Room?

Hyperice Normatec compression boots and Hyperice percussion therapy devices — the same recovery tools used by pro sports teams — in a dedicated recovery space at our San Diego gym.

How do I get access to the recovery room?

Unlimited recovery room access is included with our Premium and Inclusive gym memberships. Book your time block in the TruSelf app and walk in — boots on, legs up.

When should I use compression therapy?

After leg day, long runs, HYROX-style training, or any session that leaves you sore — and many members pair it with contrast therapy: infrared sauna, cold plunge, then compression to finish. It's also popular on rest days to loosen up before the next workout.

Where can I find a recovery room near Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, or La Mesa?

TruSelf Sporting Club is at 5125 Waring Road in San Diego's Allied Gardens neighborhood — minutes from Del Cerro, San Carlos, Grantville, La Mesa, and the SDSU area. Reserve your recovery session in the TruSelf app.

No. All TruSelf Sporting Club memberships are month-to-month with no contracts and no cancellation fees. Prepaid 6- and 12-month options are available if you prefer to save by paying upfront.

What's included with a TruSelf membership?

Can I try the gym before joining?

Yes — grab a free 3-day guest pass and try the gym, classes, and amenities before you commit. No pressure, no obligation.

What if I want to cancel or change my plan later?

You're never locked in — every membership is month-to-month with no cancellation fees. If your goals change, stop by the front desk and our team will help you find the plan that fits and get you set up on it. We'd rather have you on the right membership than the biggest one.

Is the infrared sauna private?

Yes. Every session is an exclusive private 45-minute time block — just you. Towel service is included, and you can reserve your time in the TruSelf app.

What do the different infrared light types do?

Our sauna combines all three infrared wavelengths. Near-infrared is the most effective for stimulating skin repair and collagen production (anti-aging). Mid-infrared best heats tissues and joints, generating warmth from inside the body rather than the air. Far-infrared can raise core body temperature by up to 5 degrees — ideal for sweating and detoxification.

Can I combine the sauna with a cold plunge?

Yes — that's contrast therapy, alternating infrared heat with cold plunge immersion to drive circulation and recovery. It's included in the Unlimited Ultra plan and available as combined sessions.

What is contrast therapy?

Contrast therapy alternates between cold plunge immersion and infrared sauna heat. The temperature swings drive circulation, helping muscles relax in the heat and recover in the cold — a favorite of athletes dealing with chronic soreness or heavy training loads.

Is the cold plunge private?

Do I need a gym membership to get an InBody scan?

No — anyone can book a $25 single test, which includes all-day gym access and a results review with a personal trainer.

How long does an InBody test take?

The scan itself takes about 15 seconds. Plan around 15–20 minutes total to review your results sheet with one of our trainers.

How should I prepare for my InBody scan?

Hydrate well the day before, skip caffeine that day, avoid eating 3–4 hours before, avoid exercise 6–12 hours before, and skip the sauna or shower right before testing. Don't test if you have a pacemaker or implanted electronic medical device, or are pregnant.
