A new wellness purveyor has set up shop in Montrose to deliver exactly what its name promises — a shot of health.
Daily Dose Wellness Club at 1939 W. Gray Street hopes to improve its patrons' health through wellness tech therapies like hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and sauna/cold-plunge contrast therapy. NAD therapy, customizable infusions, vitamin injections, and yoga and mat pilates classes round out the club’s offerings.
It joins an ever-expanding list of wellness-focused venues popping up around town: Luxe Yoga on Kirby Drive provides roomier-than-most yoga classes, along with amenities such as cold plunges and infrared-heated classes. Dallas-based Ritual One launched its newest infrared-heated fitness studio in Uptown Park, and Obsidian Flow is a soon-to-open Heights-based yoga studio that aims for ‘wellness and sophistication.'
And then, Daily Wellness partner and Black Swan Yoga co-owner Roland Keller also has two new projects in the works: the launch of Revival Pilates Studio and the newest Black Swan Yoga on Westheimer in Montrose.
In a city full of individuals searching for the next new way to be healthy, Daily Dose Wellness hopes to set itself apart by focusing on education, medical staffing, and the use of medical-grade supplies.
“We try to be very informational,” said Daisy Bennett, a Daily Dose co-founder and registered nurse. “A big part of what we're promoting is providing these evidence-backed services while also making sure our patients are getting the proper education on the services and really making sure that they understand it and how they can address their health prophylactically.”
The club’s monthly membership packages range from $145 to $415 and typically include a set number of therapies and group classes, along with discounts on add-on services. The services can also be shared among friends, which Daily Dose touts as ‘social self-care.’ Membership is not required to utilize Daily Dose, anyone can book an appointment.
Keller discovered the club’s space when walking on Westheimer, after a long search for a suitable spot to bring Daily Dose to life with partners Bennett, Kayla Vernon, Keith Doyle, and Corbet Ellison. What was once a mortgage company has been transformed into an industrial but earthy space, where guests are encouraged to chat in the lounge area or relax in a plush chair behind privacy curtains while receiving a vitamin infusion.
“We originally thought we were going to be able to reuse a lot of what was existing here,” Keller said. “We ended up gutting it all the way down to the studs and just started completely from scratch.”
Medical-grade comfort is the goal. So, when a client climbs into a hyperbaric chamber to breathe in 100-percent oxygen at a higher pressure (to speed healing), they’ll find comfy pillows and a soft blanket to keep them cozy. Large windows stave off claustrophobia, a phone keeps the registered nurse (who is present the whole session) within easy contact, and a control panel lets the client control the temperature within the chamber.
Beyond its medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the club also employs contrast therapy — an infrared sauna followed by a brisk cold plunge — to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and leave patrons feeling energized. Education truly is key here, with handy guides that outline the benefits of the services and the before, during, and after steps for those new to the process.
The attention to detail continues to the customizable IV infusions. Providers work with clients to determine the best combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids based on that individual’s medical history and health goals.
“We tried to make everything feel a little bit more cozy and approachable, especially with the medical side,” Bennett said. “I think a lot of places feel like everything is white and blue and very clinical. We wanted to create an environment that speaks to the senses more. Something a little more inviting.”
