If you live in New York or Los Angeles, you’ve probably seen social wellness clubs like Remedy Place, Pause Studio, and The Well popping up around the city.
These days, it seems like everyone, regardless of their level of commitment to health and fitness, is dabbling in wellness activities like cold tubs, saunas, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, etc. Thanks to Instagram and TikTok, healthy living has become more mainstream than ever before, but wellness club memberships still come at a steep price.
If you don’t live in a major metropolitan area or aren’t ready to pay yet another membership fee, our list of at-home wellness devices, gadgets, and products can help.
The key to creating a luxury wellness club atmosphere at home is to choose items that promote relaxation, physical wellness, and mental health all at the same time. This can be as simple as adding a cryo-ball to your morning routine or as extravagant as investing in your own plunge pool for your backyard.
If you’re interested in improving your health but don’t know where to start, try everything on this list and you’ll be well on your way.

After just one session, you’ll see instant relief from sore muscles.
“I use it every day to help clear stagnant lymphatic fluid,” says one customer, “and I look forward to getting in and feeling the warmth.” Use it in the morning and at night to help you drift off to sleep.
