Chapter one

From the summit of Denali to your session

Hyperbaric medicine has a long history. For decades, hospitals have used pressurized oxygen to heal stubborn wounds, treat divers, and repair tissue damaged by radiation.

The soft-shell chamber has its own story. Physiologist Igor Gamow first built a chamber called “The Bubble” to study how altitude affects athletes' stamina. He then redesigned it into a portable bag that could be carried up a mountain. When climbers developed life-threatening altitude sickness, with fluid in the lungs or swelling in the brain, they could be zipped inside. The bag was pumped up to simulate a descent of thousands of feet without moving an inch.

In 1988 it was tested on Denali and at a high-altitude clinic in Nepal. Climbers suffering severe altitude illness improved dramatically after two-hour sessions. It became the first soft-sided chamber to win FDA approval, for altitude illness. Today's wellness chambers are its descendants.

Chapter two

What happens inside your body

Normally, oxygen rides almost entirely on red blood cells. Under pressure, more oxygen dissolves directly into your plasma, the liquid part of your blood.

1
Oxygen by mask.
You breathe oxygen through a mask connected to a concentrator while the chamber gently pressurizes.
2
Metabolism and inflammation shift.
In animal research on obesity and type 2 diabetes, regular sessions at 1.3 ATA improved blood sugar handling and lowered inflammation.
3
Fatigue and brain fog can lift.
Integrative clinicians report striking results with mild hyperbaric therapy. One 2025 published case followed a patient with chronic inflammatory response syndrome whose fatigue and cognition improved markedly over 40 sessions.
4
Deep calm.
The quiet, enclosed space and slow breathing are deeply restful. Many members fall asleep.
Chapter three

The research frontier

At Tel Aviv University, Prof. Shai Efrati's team has run some of the most exciting hyperbaric research in the world. In a 2020 study, 30 healthy adults over 64 completed 60 sessions over three months. Researchers found that in some of their immune cells, telomeres, the protective caps on chromosomes linked to aging, grew longer by over 20%, and the number of worn-out “senescent” immune cells dropped significantly.

An honest note

That study used a hospital-grade hard chamber at higher pressure with pure oxygen, a stronger dose than a soft-shell chamber. We share it to show where this science is heading, not as a promise of the same results.

Chapter four

A note for those touched by cancer

For years, people worried that more oxygen might feed cancer. Researchers looked hard at that question. Two systematic reviews and a 2012 follow-up review found no evidence that hyperbaric oxygen promotes tumor growth or recurrence, and hospitals use it routinely to heal radiation damage. Some chemotherapy drugs, including bleomycin, doxorubicin, and cisplatin, don't mix with hyperbaric oxygen. That's why we ask for your oncology team's clearance first.

Chapter five

Who it's designed for

Fatigue & brain fog
People living with chronic fatigue, brain fog, or exhaustion from autoimmune disease, long illness, or treatment.

A music therapist's idea: a bath of sound

In Norway in the late 1960s, educator and therapist Olav Skille was working with children with severe disabilities. Many lived in constant tension, their muscles tight, their bodies unable to settle. Together with music therapist Juliette Alvin, he wondered: what if music could be felt through the body, not just heard?

Skille had people lie on top of loudspeakers and played low, deep tones along with music. He first called it a “music bath.” In 1982 he formally defined the method: low-frequency sound waves between 30 and 120 Hz, played rhythmically with music. He named it vibroacoustic therapy.

The idea spread to hospitals and clinics in England, Finland, and the U.S. By 1988, Harperbury Hospital in England was offering regular sessions.

The Nervous System Trainer is a modern descendant, developed by a research lab in Montreal for spas and wellness settings. It sends multi-frequency acoustic vibrations through your body, synchronized to music, in a private, cocoon-like chair.

1
You may feel your muscles let go.
Low-frequency vibration moves through your back, legs, and chest.

Many members describe it as the deepest rest of their week.
Chapter three

Why we call it the Nervous System Trainer

A single session feels wonderful. But the real power is repetition. Like any muscle, your nervous system learns from practice.

Every session is practice for the path from stress to calm.

Over weeks, many people find they can find that path on their own: in a hard conversation, or a doctor's waiting room.

Chapter four

Who tends to choose the Chair?

Effortless rest
Anyone who wants rest that asks nothing of them.
Carrying the week

Your session at Studio 7:14
There's nothing to do but receive.
Settle into the chair, put on headphones, and close your eyes. As music plays, you feel it move gently through your back, legs, and chest. It's the perfect final step after a sauna or hyperbaric session.

Frequently asked

Questions

What is vibroacoustic therapy?
Vibroacoustic therapy uses low-frequency sound, felt as vibration, played rhythmically with music. Norwegian educator Olav Skille and music therapist Juliette Alvin developed the idea in 1968, and Skille formally defined it in 1982. At Studio 7:14, the Chair offers it as a quiet wellness session.
What does a session feel like?
You recline in a private chair with headphones on. As the music plays, you feel low, gentle vibration move through your back, legs, and chest. Many members describe it as the deepest rest of their week. You can stop at any time.
Will the Chair treat anything?
No. The Chair offers a quiet, restful session. It isn't meant to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. If you have a health concern, talk with your physician first.

WHOLE-BODY
VIBRATION

How a training tool from sports science found its way into studios.
Where it begins

In the early days of spaceflight, scientists ran into a frightening problem. Without gravity, astronauts' bones thinned and their muscles wasted away — fast. A body that doesn't have to fight gravity starts to let go of the strength it no longer thinks it needs.

Included with every membership10–15 minute sessions
Chapter one

Where the idea started

Vibration as training has a longer history than most people expect. By the 1980s, Russian sports scientists, including Vladimir Nazarov, were using vibration to train elite athletes. Researchers have since studied it in settings that mimic spaceflight, such as long periods of bed rest, where the body loses muscle and bone without the pull of gravity.

Chapter two

What happens inside your body

When you stand on a vibration platform, it moves many times per second. Every tiny movement makes your body feel like it's about to lose balance, so your muscles fire automatically to steady you — dozens of times each second, without you thinking about it.

1
Muscles activate without heavy weights.
These reflex contractions recruit muscle fibers the way strength training does, with almost no load on your joints.
2
Bones get the signal to stay strong.
Bone responds to mechanical stress. Gentle vibration delivers that signal, and studies have found improvements in bone density, especially in older adults.
3
Balance and stability improve.
Your nervous system practices reacting quickly, and research shows gains in balance, postural control, and mobility.
4
Circulation increases.
Rhythmic muscle contractions pump blood and lymph through the legs and core.
5
Pain and fatigue can ease.
In one study, six weeks of vibration training reduced pain and fatigue in women with fibromyalgia.
Chapter three

Who it's designed for

When exercise is hard
People whose energy or pain makes traditional exercise hard — including those managing autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue.
Bone health
Anyone concerned about bone health, especially as they age.
Metabolic health
People working on metabolic health who want to activate muscle, the body's largest consumer of blood sugar, without strain.
Rebuilding strength
Those rebuilding strength after illness or treatment, with their doctor's okay.
Balance
Anyone who wants better balance and confidence on their feet.
Your session at Studio 7:14
Stand, sit, or hold simple positions on the platform.

The astronaut problem

Astronauts returning from space come home weaker. Without gravity, bone and muscle decline, and NASA was looking for ways to help them rebuild. In 1980, researchers at NASA's Ames Research Center, led by Dr. A. Bhattacharya, published a study in the Journal of Applied Physiology comparing treadmill running to jumping on a trampoline.

Chapter two

What did the study measure?

The study had eight young men, ages 19 to 26. They ran on a treadmill or jumped on a trampoline while researchers measured the force at the ankle and at the forehead, along with oxygen use and heart rate.

On the treadmill, the impact at the ankle was higher than at the head at every speed. On the trampoline, the force was more nearly the same from ankle to head. The researchers reported that oxygen use and heart rate rose in a similar way for both activities.

Chapter three

What happens inside your body

1
Lymph moves when you move.
Lymph has no pump of its own. It depends on movement and muscle contraction, and its vessels have one-way valves.
2
Your body feels the load.
At the bottom of each bounce, your body briefly experiences more than normal gravity; at the top, almost none.
3
Your heart and lungs train without joint stress.
The mat absorbs impact, so knees, hips, and ankles are spared.
4
Balance gets practice.
Every bounce asks your balance to adjust.
5
Many people describe a lighter mood.
Bouncing tends to make people smile.

You don't need to jump high. A gentle bounce, with your feet barely leaving the mat, is enough to find the rhythm.

FAR INFRARED
SAUNA

Warmth with a long history.
What it is

A far infrared sauna warms you largely with radiant heat, the same kind of warmth you feel from sunshine, instead of heating the air to very high temperatures. Your private suite gives you the sauna, a recovery chair, fresh towels, and a rebounder, all to yourself.

Chapter one

How long have people been resting in heat?

A long time. Researchers who reviewed the science of sauna bathing note that it has been practiced in various forms “for thousands of years in many parts of the world.” No one can put an exact date on it, and we won't pretend to.

Finland is where the practice became a way of life. In 2020, UNESCO added sauna culture in Finland to its list of the world's intangible cultural heritage, describing a tradition handed down through families and communities. It also notes that “saunas come in many forms – electric, wood-heated, smoke and infra-red.”

“Traditionally, the sauna has been considered as a sacred space – a ‘church of nature.’”
UNESCO
Chapter two

What did the Chicago World's Fair have to do with it?

In 1891, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg of Battle Creek, Michigan, built what he called an electric light bath, a cabinet fitted with incandescent bulbs that warmed the person sitting inside. It was put on display at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.

Kellogg patented the design in 1896 as a “Radiant-Heat Bath.” One line in that patent still describes the basic idea behind infrared saunas today: its warming action “does not depend upon the heat which is transmitted directly by the air.”

To be fair to history: many of Kellogg's ideas about what light and heat could do for people didn't hold up. What lasted was the simpler part, warming the body directly.

The next chapter came decades later. In the late 1960s, a Japanese inventor, Tadashi Ishikawa, patented zirconia ceramics designed to radiate long-wave infrared; his U.S. patent was granted in 1971. Over recent decades, infrared sauna cabins have become a popular choice for homes, gyms, and studios like ours.

Chapter three

How does a far infrared sauna work?

Picture a sunny day in early spring. The air is still cool, but the moment you turn your face toward the sun, you feel warm. That's radiant heat: energy traveling as infrared light and warming whatever it reaches.

Hot air
Traditional Finnish sauna
176–212°F
Works more like an oven. A heater warms the air, and that hot air warms you.
Radiant heat
Far infrared sauna
113–140°F
Heating panels give off infrared, so much of the warmth reaches you directly. The air stays lower.

“Far” infrared simply means the longer wavelengths, sitting farther from the red light our eyes can see. It doesn't mean “deeper” or “stronger.” Infrared isn't a special or mysterious energy. It's a different way of delivering heat.

Chapter four

What happens in your body during a session?

Your body works hard to keep its inner temperature steady. When you sit in warmth, it responds in a familiar sequence:

1
Your skin warms first.
2
Blood vessels near the surface widen
to carry heat outward, which is why your skin flushes pink.
3
Your heart beats faster
to move that blood, even though you're sitting perfectly still.
4
Your sweat glands switch on.
As sweat evaporates, it cools you. That's your body doing exactly what it's designed to do.
5
With enough heat and enough time,
your core temperature starts to rise too.
“Gentle” isn't built into the technology. The temperature and the time are what decide how intense a session feels.
Chapter five

Your first session

Hydrate
Drink water through the day. You'll sweat, so arrive already hydrated.
Eat light
A small snack an hour or so before is usually more comfortable than a full meal.
Skip alcohol
Before and after your session.
Leave jewelry
Metal warms up in the heat.
Bring
A water bottle, and a hair tie if you have long hair.
Give yourself a buffer
The cool-down is part of the session.

Wear what’s comfortable: a swimsuit, light breathable clothing, or simply a towel. Your suite is a closed, private room, so there’s no dress code.

Your session at Studio 7:14
Your private suite is yours for 50 minutes.
Set the temperature to your preference, up to a 175°F maximum, and step out whenever you like. Spending part of your time in the recovery chair is still part of the session. A red light add-on is available if you'd like it.
50
Minutes
Warmth as stewardship

“Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost… therefore glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20, KJV). Stewardship isn't about perfecting your body or punishing it. It means caring for what you've been given. Rest isn't a prize you earn once everything else is done.

You don't have to share our faith to belong here. Everyone is welcome at Studio 7:14.

Before your session
A quick safety check
A sauna feels gentle, but it is still heat, and heat asks real work of your body. Talk with your doctor before your session if you:
  • are pregnant or trying to become pregnant
  • have a heart condition, or blood pressure that runs high or low
  • take medication that can change how your body handles heat, such as diuretics, beta-blockers, or some antidepressants
  • are managing any other ongoing health condition
On every visit, drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and skip your session if you feel feverish or unwell. Step out right away and sit down if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, sick to your stomach, a headache coming on, or your heart racing in a way that doesn't feel right.
After your session

Cool down slowly

1
Rest in the recovery chair.
Let your body come back to room temperature at its own pace.
2
Drink water.
Refill and sip.
3
The rebounder is there,
once you feel cool and steady, if you'd like a few easy bounces. It's optional.
4
Take a few quiet minutes
before you drive or jump back into your day.
Your sauna suite is part of every membership. Give us a call to ask about it or to join.

The story behind the boots

LEG
COMPRESSION

Born in cancer research, loved by champions.
And why they feel so good

You've probably seen pro athletes lounging in big inflatable boots after a game. What most people don't know is that this technology wasn't invented for athletes at all. It was invented by a doctor who was researching cancer care and wanted to help women with long-term swelling after breast cancer surgery.

Chapter one

A doctor's answer to long-term swelling

After breast cancer surgery or radiation, many women develop long-term limb swelling: painful, stubborn swelling. The pumps available at the time squeezed limbs in a crude, uniform way.

Dr. Laura Jacobs, a physician bioengineer, believed she could do better. She studied how the body naturally moves fluid and designed a pulsing pattern that mimics it: compression that travels in waves from the feet upward, the way your muscles naturally squeeze veins and lymph vessels when you walk.

Compression that travels in waves from the feet upward, the way your muscles naturally squeeze veins and lymph vessels when you walk.

Then something unexpected happened. Her son, a college rower, and other athletes began using the device for recovery, and they swore by it. Today it is standard equipment in pro locker rooms, and recovery studios like ours. But its heart is still medical: helping fluid move when the body needs help.

Chapter two

What happens inside your body

Your lymphatic system carries fluid and immune cells through your body. Unlike your blood, it has no heart to pump it. It moves when your muscles contract and your body moves. When you sit too long, stand all day, or are too tired to move much, fluid can pool, especially in the legs.

Sequential pulses squeeze from the feet up, then release.
2
The nervous system relaxes.
The rhythmic pressure feels like a deep massage, and many members describe a deep, restful feeling.
3
Legs feel lighter.
Many members describe legs that feel lighter afterward.
A faithful rest

Rest has long been part of a faithful life. Caring for the body you've been given includes letting your legs, and the rest of you, come down from a long week. You don't need to share our faith to sit down here.

Chapter three

Who tends to choose it

Long hours
People who sit or stand for long hours and end the day with heavy, tired legs.
Limited energy
Those whose energy has been limited by living with chronic illness, fatigue, or autoimmune conditions.
Metabolic health
People working on metabolic health, where circulation in the legs matters.
Where it began
Cancer survivors — with their oncology or lymphedema team's guidance — for whom this technology was first imagined.
Recovery
Anyone recovering from training, travel, or a long week.

A note on safety
Do not use compression if you have, or may have:
  • a blood clot (DVT)
  • an active infection or open wound in the legs
  • severe heart failure
  • acute leg pain you can't explain
If you have lymphedema or are in cancer treatment, ask your care team about the right pressure first.

Studio 7:14  ·  PEMA
Pulsed electromagnetic activation

PEMA

A lifetime of research, folded into a mat.
What it is

PEMA stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Activation. It’s a newer take on PEMF, or pulsed electromagnetic fields, developed by Prof. Dr. Wolf A. Kafka, a German physicist and neurophysiologist who patented his first pulsed-field device in 1998. At Studio 7:14, a PEMA session means lying still on a mat while gentle magnetic pulses run beneath you.

You don’t need to understand physics to lie down and rest. But if you’ve ever looked at the mat and wondered where it came from, this is its story. It starts in a research lab in Germany, and it’s mostly about one scientist’s long fascination with very small signals.

Chapter one

Why does electricity have anything to do with the body?

Here’s something easy to forget: you’re electrical. With each heartbeat, an electrical signal travels from the top of your heart to the bottom. That’s the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s plain description, and it happens all day, every day, without a thought from you.

People of faith have marveled at this kind of detail for a very long time. Our studio’s tagline is “Wellness by Design,” and the verse below is close to the heart of it.

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works.”
Psalm 139:14  ·  KJV
Chapter two

Who is Wolf Kafka?

Prof. Dr. Wolf A. Kafka trained in physics and neurophysiology. According to his published biography, he spent more than 30 years at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Physiology, studying how living things detect odors at the molecular level.

Think about what that means. A scent is a few molecules in the air. Somehow a living cell notices them, and the creature responds. Kafka’s career was spent on that question: how a very small signal gets picked up and turned into something the body acts on.

Chapter three

How did his work lead to pulsed electromagnetic fields?

After his years in the lab, Kafka turned to pulsed electromagnetic fields, usually shortened to PEMF. In 1998, he filed a European patent for a device that sends carefully shaped electrical pulses through a coil.

The basic physics is the same as any electromagnet. Send electricity through a coil of wire and you get a magnetic field. Pulse the electricity and the field pulses too. A PEMF mat simply puts those coils inside something you can lie on.

PEMF devices are used in many settings today, including some medical ones, and those are a different thing. What Studio 7:14 offers is a wellness session: quiet rest on a mat. It isn’t a medical treatment and doesn’t stand in for one. The mat’s own maker says the same thing: its products aren’t intended to diagnose or treat any disease.

Chapter four

What’s the difference between PEMA and PEMF?

PEMA is Kafka’s later design, and its maker describes it as a further development of PEMF. The company says his newer invention arrived about two decades after his first patent.

PEMF
Typical devices
Many PEMF devices repeat one simple pulse.
PEMA
Kafka’s later design
Layers several pulse patterns at once, each changing over time. The company calls this superposition. The mat also runs different programs with different signal patterns.
What we don’t know

We’ll be honest about what we don’t know. We haven’t found research comparing PEMA head-to-head with simpler PEMF devices. “Different” is clear. Whether different means better for how you feel hasn’t been tested that way.

Chapter five

What does the research say so far?

The research on PEMA itself is new. In 2025, a team that included Prof. Kafka himself presented a study of adults ages 19 to 84 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United States. Researchers at Sigmund Freud Private University in Vienna collected the data. Participants signed up on their own, lay on the mat in 15-minute sessions over six weeks, and answered standard questionnaires online before and after. Everyone in the study used the mat, so there was no comparison group. In all, 421 people completed both rounds.

As a group, participants reported less exhaustion by the end of the six weeks. They also rated their energy, mental sharpness, and sleep quality higher than they had at the start, and more of them said they often felt calm and relaxed. The paper was published in 2026 in a volume of Springer conference proceedings.

Chapter six

Who tends to choose a PEMA session?

People come to the mat for ordinary reasons:

Effortless rest
You want rest that asks nothing of you: no poses, no effort, no pace to keep.
Tired & wired
You feel tired and wired at the same time, and lying still is harder than it sounds.
Winding down
You’re winding down after a workout or a long shift on your feet.
Scheduled quiet
Your week is loud, and you’d like a stretch of quiet that’s already on the calendar.
Chapter seven

What is a PEMA session like at Studio 7:14?

You lie down, close your eyes, and rest. That's it. There's nothing to hold, nothing to count, and nothing to get right.

Sessions are 20 minutes, in a calming lounge room.

Some people pray. Some people breathe slowly. Some fall asleep. All of those are fine.

We think rest belongs in a faithful life, not as a reward for finishing everything else, but as part of caring for the body you've been given. Psalm 46:10 puts it simply:

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10  ·  KJV
Before your session
A quick safety check
A PEMA session is gentle, but it does involve magnetic fields, and those matter for some people. Talk with your doctor before your session if you:
  • have a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, or any other implanted electronic device (the American Heart Association advises people with pacemakers and ICDs to avoid magnetic mattress pads)
  • are pregnant or nursing
  • are in or recovering from cancer treatment (get your oncology team's clearance first)
  • are managing any other ongoing health condition
If anything feels uncomfortable during a session, sit up and let our team know.
Included with every membership
Ready to be still?
PEMA isn't booked as a separate service. It's part of our memberships, so give us a call to ask about it or to join. You don't need to know anything else before you begin.

Studio 7:14  ·  The 7:14 Rhythm
Five unhurried steps

THE 7:14
RHYTHM

From active to still.
What it is

The 7:14 Rhythm is a way of moving through Studio 7:14 in five unhurried steps: whole-body vibration, a gentle bounce on the rebounder, warmth in the far infrared sauna, leg compression, and rest on the PEMA mat. It’s built for consistency rather than intensity, and you can scale it to the day you’re having.

A lot of wellness advice asks you to push harder. This asks something different: that you show up, go at your own pace, and come back.

The 7:14 Rhythm isn’t a challenge to complete or a program to pass. It’s a simple order of steps that moves from active to still, so you leave feeling settled instead of rushed. And you don’t need to know the name of any of these modalities before you begin.

Who it’s for

Who tends to choose the 7:14 Rhythm?

People come to it for ordinary reasons:

Long shifts
Long shifts on your feet, and legs that feel heavy by evening
Training regularly
Training regularly, and wanting a way to recover after exercise
Tired & wired
Feeling tired and wired at once, and wanting somewhere to slow down
Low-energy days
Low-energy days, when gentle movement sounds better than a workout
A steady routine
Wanting a routine that’s steady and kind rather than punishing
A place for you
Wanting a place that’s just for you, even for a little while

If you’re managing a health condition, please read the safety section before your first visit.

The steps

What are the five steps?

1
You stand on a platform that vibrates beneath you while your legs and core work to keep you steady. It’s a way to get your body moving without a hard workout.
2
Get movingRebounding
Next comes easy bouncing on a small trampoline, with your feet barely leaving the mat. Keep it light and comfortable.
3
Warm throughFar Infrared Sauna
This is your private suite, where you set the temperature up to a 175°F maximum and step out whenever you like. You can add Halo salt therapy or red light to the same session.
4
Rest your legsLeg Compression
You lie back with your feet up while sleeves around your legs fill and release in a slow, rhythmic wave. It’s a chance to be still while the sleeves do the work. (On our site, you’ll find this as Compression Boots.)
5
RestorePEMA Mat
Finish lying down on the PEMA mat, giving yourself quiet time before you head back into your day. (On our site, you’ll find this as PEMF Therapy.)

Each step is booked as its own session. Your sauna suite is yours for 50 minutes, and doing all five steps in one day takes a few hours.

The order

Why this order?

The rhythm moves from your most active steps to your stillest ones. You start by getting your body moving, then you warm through, then you rest your legs, and you finish lying down in quiet.

That arc is the point. You don’t leave straight from the busiest part of your visit. You leave from the calmest part, and carry a little of that unhurried pace back into your day.

Between steps, sip water, especially after the sauna.

Hard days

What if I’m having a low-energy day?

Do less, not nothing.

On a hard day, skip the vibration and rebounding. Go straight to the warmth, then lie back for compression and the mat. Or choose just one step. Some days, the most faithful thing you can do is rest.

Showing up in any form keeps the rhythm going. Rest is part of the practice, not a break from it.

Frequency

How often should I come?

We won’t give you a number here. A rhythm is personal. It depends on your week, your goals, and what you can sustain without it turning into one more obligation.

What matters more than any number is coming back. Our team is glad to help you find a pace that fits your life, and you can see how visits are bundled on our Packages & Membership page.

Over time

What can I expect over time?

We won’t hand you a timeline of results. No one can promise how any one body will respond, and we’re not aware of any study that has tested these five modalities together.

What we can describe is what it’s like to keep a rhythm. On your first few visits, you’re learning the order, finding the settings you like, and figuring out which steps you want on which days. After a while, the routine becomes familiar. You stop thinking about what comes next and simply move through it. That familiarity is often what makes it easy to come back.

Our name
Why “7:14”?

Our name comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14, a verse about humility, prayer, and turning back toward God. “Rhythm” is a fitting word for a faith that built rest into the shape of every week. We see a steady practice of care as one small way to steward the life we’ve been given.

You don’t have to share our faith to belong here. Everyone is welcome, and no one will ask you to pretend.

Before your first visit
A quick safety check
Each step is gentle, but each one asks something of your body. Talk with your doctor before you begin if you:
  • are pregnant or trying to become pregnant
  • have a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, or other implanted electronic device
  • have a heart condition, including heart failure, or blood pressure that runs high or low
  • have, or have had, blood clots or DVT
  • have had recent surgery, a recent fracture, a joint replacement, or other implants
  • have retinal or eye problems
  • have joint, balance, or pelvic-floor concerns
  • have an infection or open wound on your legs
  • take medication that can change how your body handles heat, such as diuretics, beta-blockers, or some antidepressants
  • are in or recovering from cancer treatment (get your oncology team’s clearance first)
On every visit, drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and skip anything that doesn’t feel right that day. Stop any step and sit down if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or sick to your stomach.
Frequently asked

Questions

What is the 7:14 Rhythm?
The 7:14 Rhythm is a way of moving through Studio 7:14 in five steps: whole-body vibration, rebounding, the far infrared sauna, leg compression, and the PEMA mat. It moves from active to still, so you finish your visit feeling settled. It’s a simple, repeatable routine you can scale to the day you’re having.
Do I have to do all five steps every visit?
No. The five steps are a full version of the rhythm, not a requirement. On a low-energy day, you might skip vibration and rebounding and go straight to the sauna, compression, and the mat, or choose just one step. Showing up in any form keeps the rhythm going. Our team can help you decide what fits.
Is the 7:14 Rhythm a medical program?
No. Studio 7:14 is a wellness studio, not a medical facility. The 7:14 Rhythm is a wellness routine for movement, warmth, and rest. It isn’t meant to diagnose, treat, or cure anything, and it doesn’t replace care from your doctor. If you’re managing a health condition, talk with your physician before you begin.
How long does the full 7:14 Rhythm take?
Each step is booked as its own session, so doing all five in one day takes a few hours. Your private sauna suite is yours for 50 minutes. You don’t have to do everything at once: you can spread the steps across different days or choose just the ones that fit your schedule. Our team can help you plan what works.
When you’re ready, reach out and we’ll help you plan your first visit.
