I've always loved their smoothies (exhilarate is great, same with strawberries & cream) and bites (the matcha and the chocolate ones, so yum!) but recently tried the saunas and loved it! Nona is amazing, so attentive and caring. I am looking forward to going back!

I am so obsessed with this place! I did the new magnesium detox wrap + sauna and I was blown away with the experience! I was a little nervous to be confined in a wrap while also in the sauna, but I was eased with the direction of Nona (associate that helped me out). She talked me through each step and was able to ease all worries! I actually felt more relaxed doing the magnesium wrap than just the typical sauna session I usually do. HIGHLY recommend this service!

My boyfriend is a big sauna fan and loves the Wellness Refinery so we made a plan to stop here for a 45 minute session as part of his birthday celebration. It's a great space and the staff here is incredible - friendly, helpful, and explained everything super clearly. The great: + Cute smoothie and juice bar for you to enjoy after your sauna session. + Convenient Old City location. + Sweet touches like writing names on a sign to welcome you, essential oil wipes, ample towels, etc. + The sauna itself is as good as it gets for this kind of experience. Super clean facility and they take a lot of pride in the space. The less great: + I would find it hard to justify the cost of membership with so many clubs around town offering saunas as part of their full gym experience. A 45 minute sessions for two was ~$119. + There was no working remote for us the day I was there to update the infrared lights. Not a huge deal but something that is a key part of the sauna experience not working might turn future customers off. + The plug in for your phone also was really spotty and the speakers kept going in and out. We ended up ditching it and going for silence instead. + Both the sauna space and space outside of the sauna is too small for two people. Overall if you're a sauna enthusiast with lots of discretionary income, OR you're just looking for a new way to escape the winter blues - this is a great option here in Philly.

I loooooove an infrared sauna at the wellness refinery! Its a beautiful, clean, & accommodating environment plus it's a beautiful space! The owner is so lovely & helpful, her team is so friendly & makes the best smoothies, and the little gifts they sell are beautiful- if you're in the area & love a wellness oasis don't skip TWR!

I’ve been going to Wellness Refinery for over a year now, and it’s such an amazing place! The staff is fantastic, helpful, and lovely. I’ve recently tried the Magnesium Wrap as I’m in the midst of half marathon training, and it really helped me feel rested and detoxed! Highly recommend the Wellness Refinery for the magnesium wrap, infrared sauna, and smoothies/juices!

Tried the new wrap service before my friends wedding and I felt incredible. Such a good sweat and detox for maintenance or before any special event. Can’t wait to go back!

This is arguably my favorite place in old city!! It’s extremely clean, the staff are so kind and helpful, and it’s always an incredible experience. I highly recommend trying it out..you’ll be making it part of your weekly/monthly self care routine.

My go to for sauna experience!! I sauna 3-5 x a wk at the gym but supplement with saunas at least once a quarter at WF. Pricey but worth it. Saunas are well maintained, private, and HOT. They offer 30 and 45 min, single and double. I’ve done all. 30 is the most I can handle without having to take multiple breaks so I don’t buy 45s anymore. Double is fun for couples or w a friend. Only downside is no shower on site so I recommend ample time to dry off, wipe off, change into loose comfortable clothing, and relax. Putting on leggings or rushing off to another to-do means you’ll be feeling very uncomfortable. I continue to sweat for up to 30 min after. Sign up for emails. They do a lot of fun events and sales for holidays like 4th of July etc. A lot of cool retail on site, staff is friendly, and their smoothies are amazing. Just grabbed a 20% sauna session w their LDW sale.

Wow! So surprised I haven't reviewed Wellness Refinery on Yelp yet! I've been coming here for saunas for about a year now and I love it! I've convinced my husband, friends, and even some of my husbands friends to come. Every time I leave a sauna session I feel absolutely amazing, and it certainly helps to have a smoothie waiting for you when you're done! I usually do the 30 minute session and I bring the remote in to cycle through all of the infrared light colors. The smoothie options are soo good and I love that they offer seasonal blends too- always something new to try.
Love this place! Super smooth process, and all of the gals who work there are super friendly! And getting a smoothie from their delicious smoothie bar after a sauna session is always perfect! I have the membership and love it!

Had a great experience with an infrared sauna session at the Wellness Refinery. This was my first time sweating it out in an infrared sauna, and the staff were super helpful with explaining the process. I love that it is a completely privately private so that you can dress to your comfort level. Everything was clean and modern-looking. There are plenty of towels, and a few wet wipes to clean up. The one negative is that there are no showers to quickly rinse off after getting your sweat-on. Despite this, I will def be back as there are so many benefits to an infrared sauana

Clean and friendly staff. Relaxing sauna's to help you feel comfortable and unwind. Highly recommend!!

Now the best spot on the east side of Philadelphia to get a blended drink (and darn - those hot seasonal drinks are pretty fantastic as well).

This place is a complete sham! I signed up for 8 x per month package for $190 per month. They don't Have enough saunas to accommodate members. So I started to accumulate sessions that I couldn't use because of lack of availability. I had 13 sessions that were carrying over and before I would get charged another $190 for another 8 sessions I called to cancel the membership. When I did they canceled the 13 sessions I already paid for. It's a broken business model and they rip off their customers. Avoid this place at all cost!
