If it’s your first visit, don’t worry! Our staff is happy to orient you to the space and answer any questions. Think of it as a space to unwind, refresh, and move at your own pace. Bring a bathing suit, and let us take care of the rest!
Our Thermal Cycle is a rotation between saunas, cold plunges, a warm pool, and moments of rest. We recommend up to 15-20 minutes in the sauna, a cold shower to rinse off sweat, and a cold plunge for 3-5 minutes. Then, relax and rehydrate for 10-15 minutes before repeating the process.
With both hot and cold therapy, always start small and listen to your body! These are simply guidelines. We encourage guests to move at their own pace and do what feels best for them.
All guests must shower off at the start of their bathhouse visit as a general cleanse and to remove any lotions/oils/fragrances. This helps preserve the wood of the sauna and ensures a clean environment for all. The private showers are also available after your visit.
You will need a non-sheer bathing suit that provides reasonable coverage.
We provide towels, private changing rooms, and showers with our in-house line of bathing products. Samples of our body oils are available at checkout.
We recommend that bathers bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. No glass in the bathhouse please.
We have flip flops available for sale, or you may bring your own, clean bathhouse footwear.
Tipping is optional and always appreciated!
Our team works hard to create a space that’s welcoming, and restorative, and of course—clean.
If we made your day, this is one meaningful way to let us know.
There’s a growing body of research behind what bathhouse goers have known for centuries: The benefits of saunas and cold plunges go beyond feeling good. They’re measurable. Read more about the benefits of sauna use for the cardiometabolic system and hypertension, the role of cold plunges in exercise recovery and on lowering high blood pressure, and how alternating hot and cold therapy does everything from regulating the parasympathetic nervous system to reducing inflammation, improving symptoms of endometriosis, and unlocking creativity.
Our individual showers and dry changing rooms are private and our restrooms are gender neutral. When it comes to storing your things, we have a communal space with wristband-activated lockers and shoe cubbies.
We are an inclusive space where everyone is welcome.
