Bathing suits are required. All guests must shower using soap before entering the facility to ensure the cleanest environment for all. All guests must sit on a sauna towel in sauna and rinse prior to their cold plunge. Ask your fellow bathers before adding steam to the sauna. Respect the space and the community. You can find our complete list of house rules here.
We call our bathing circuit Hot Cold Relax: up to 15 minutes in the sauna, followed by a cold shower to rinse off sweat before entering the cold plunge for up to 3 minutes. Then, relax and rehydrate in the lounge spaces for 10-15 minutes before repeating the process. Of course 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 before starting their bathhouse visit to remove any lotions/oils/fragrances/bodily yuck. This helps preserve the wood of the sauna and ensures a clean environment for all. The showers are also available after your visit.
We provide towels and have showers and change rooms. We also have soaps, shampoos and body lotion samples.
You will need a bathing suit and whatever bathing products you like to use. We recommend that people bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
