WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT:
Hot-Cold-Relax Repeat
Hot-Cold-Relax Repeat
Our experience is simple, feels good, with benefits back by science. 15 minutes in the sauna. 3-5 minutes in the cold plunge. Relax, rehydrate, and repeat.
Rest & Technology Detox
Rest & Technology Detox
All of our bathhouses are device-free. A technology pause promotes recalibration of attention, reduces stress, and emphasizes rest -- it's a simple act that does wonders for the nervous system.
Community, Sustainability & Good Vibes
