A company offering recovery and wellness in various forms has officially opened its newest Johnson County studio.
California-based Pause recently opened a new studio in Fairway, its second location in Johnson County.
Pause opened at 4150 Shawnee Mission Parkway
- The studio occupies a 2,500-square-foot space on the southwest corner of 55th Street and Shawnee Mission Parkway in Fairway.
- There, Pause operates near fitness studio Pvolve and Starbucks.
- Pause is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, and 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Pause offers a “modern approach” to recovery
Pause is known for a variety of wellness services, such as cold plunges, infrared saunas, LED light therapy (with different light colors offering different benefits), IV drips and float therapy.
Customers can either opt for individual services or monthly memberships, which begin at $79 per month at the Fairway studio.
Eric Chen, general manager at Pause, said Pause services target a wide range of benefits, such as pain management, reducing inflammation or deep relaxation. Treatment-specific benefits are listed in each treatment room for people to look over before or after their service.
“We really are a one-stop shop,” he said. “Here you can have a whole spa day, bring a partner for a date night, or even block off a few hours for events like bachelorette parties.”
This marks the second Pause studio in Johnson County
Further south, the California-based studio opened its first Johnson County studio at the end of 2025.
That location operates at 5601 W. 135th St., at the Prairiefire development in southern Overland Park.
Though the Fairway space has only been open for a couple of weeks, Chen said the early response from northeastern Johnson Countians has been one of excitement and relief — which ultimately is the point.
“Our minds race a million miles an hour, and the last time you got to unplug for an hour has probably been a long time,” Chen said. “The idea of Pause is just that — pausing. Coming in, taking a moment for yourself, winding down and getting grounded so you can feel like your optimal self when you leave.”
