This Veteran's Day, we honor the veterans and active military members who have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting others. Your courage and sacrifice do not go unnoticed and we’re deeply grateful for all you’ve given. We’re especially proud to acknowledge two members of our Pause team who have served our country: Daniel J. Dansereau III, Studio Pre-Launch Senior Manager Daniel served just under ten years in the Marine Corps, achieving the rank of Sergeant. He completed four total tours: two to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and two to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Joel Cooney, Franchise Business Consultant Joel graduated boot camp in 1998 and served six years, including a tour in Iraq in 2003. In 2013, he founded Task Force Archangel to help keep veterans connected and raise funds for organizations supporting veterans and their communities. To Daniel, Joel, and all veterans and active military, we thank you for your service, dedication, and heroism. We're proud to offer an ongoing military discount on all our services.

We were honored to participate in #LATechWeek 2025, co-hosted by J.P. Morgan and Levitate Foundry. Our founder, John Klein, delivered the keynote alongside Lisa Tengbom, sharing Pause's journey and how we've been an innovator in the wellness category since the beginning. Our team Natalie B. and Jackie Zeki also led immersive activations featuring our signature longevity services such as NAD+ and B12 shots, LED facials, and compression therapy. This event underscored the industry's shift towards wellness as a shared, social experience, with consumers increasingly seeking authenticity and measurable results. Women’s health emerged as a significant growth driver and the importance of blending purpose with proof was emphasized. At Pause, we’re committed to advancing recovery and performance through science-backed modalities, empowering individuals to invest in their well-being and longevity. 📸: Johanna Korsh

Business of Wellness: Building Brands for Longevity at #LATechWeek - Pause Studio gave the keynote and joined an incredible panel of leaders shaping the future of wellness and longevity. Hearing John Klein share Pause’s origin story and seeing how far we’ve come made me proud to be part of what we’ve built and continue to grow. I also led our breakout activation as we brought our longevity services onsite (NAD+, B12 vitashots, LED facial panel, compression stations). A few takeaways from the panel that stuck with me: 💡 Consumers are more educated than ever. With AI and access to endless information, people can spot BS fast. Authenticity and credibility behind your brand aren’t optional, they’re everything. 📈 Women’s health is booming Single women now own more homes than single men (love that for us) and are investing more in wellness, recovery, and longevity. Women’s health is no longer an afterthought, it’s leading growth in the category. ✔️ Purpose and proof win. The brands that last will be those that blend meaning with measurable results, you need the science and the story. Thank you Elaine Cheng & Levitate Foundry for hosting this incredible event.

We’re thrilled to announce the nationwide expansion of our partnership with Aescape. Massage has consistently been the number one most requested service in our annual client survey, and we knew we had to deliver in a way that aligns with our mission: making transformational wellness both elevated and accessible. With Aescape’s fully robotic, AI-powered massage technology, Pause is meeting that demand with a premium, customizable, and on-demand experience that pairs seamlessly with our evidence-based therapies like float, contrast, cryotherapy, IV drips, and more. This synergy allows guests to create multi-layered recovery rituals that can’t be found anywhere else. Following a successful pilot at our Studio City location, which generated significant media attention and fully booked schedules, Aescape will now be rolling out across our studios nationwide. Beginning October 1st, Aescape will be available in West Hollywood, Brentwood, East Cobb (in addition to Studio City), with West Nashville and Overland Park to follow later this fall. More studios are planning to launch by year’s end, with continued expansion into 2026. This expansion reflects not only consumer demand, but also the strength of our partnership with Aescape and our shared vision: bringing innovative, technology-driven wellness solutions to more people nationwide. Together, we’re redefining what recovery and self-care can look like. Booking is now live. Get on the table as soon as October 1st. https://lnkd.in/gBz-gZAy

Our team had the honor of volunteering at Baby2Baby this week! Baby2Baby is an incredible organization that provides families in need with the basic essentials every child deserves. At Pause, we recognize that wellness extends far beyond the services we have within our studios. Caring for our community is an essential part of the work we do and days like this remind us how powerful it is when we come together in support of others. We’re so grateful to Baby2Baby for the chance to contribute to their work and to see firsthand the impact collective support can have. 💙

When creativity and wellness meet, transformation happens. We were honored to support Grammy Award-winning songwriter, producer, and Roc Nation artist DIXSON at his recent event highlighting mental health in the music industry, and look forward to co-hosting the next gathering in our studio space. Pause was built to be a sanctuary for recovery and resilience, and we’re proud to extend that mission to the creative community by making space for artists and industry professionals to connect, recharge, and sustain their craft in a supported way.
