First, I'd like to mention how awesomely nice and welcoming everyone is who works here. The owner is present often and you can tell he really values his customers. Sometimes, I take my kids to bubble tea next door and he'll come out and say "hi" or wave...everyone here is great.
The beds are well maintained and they have a really good variety of types to chose from. Sometimes I feel like relaxing and do the 20 min bed, and other days I'm in a rush and use the fast ones. They have a stand up one that is my favorite, it just feels more natural to me to stand. I've done a good amount of research, looking at actual peer reviewed data on which one is healthier and it seems shorter more frequent exposure is better, this makes sense as it allows your melanocytes (the cells that respond to UV) time to make melanin.
I used to get pretty depressed in the winter. My hormones were fine, my vit-d was good, everything was "normal" according to my doctor. Then, one day while working out I heard a guy talking about why he tans. Long story short I decided to try it. What a difference it makes, I pretty much tell anyone who will listen.
But, just like anything else you want to use the minimum effective dose. So go easy, especially on your first few sessions.
