-
Use provided towels to absorb sweat during sessions.
-
The optimal sauna experience occurs between 110 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Don't be surprised if you don't sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use, removing toxins and leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Move slowly and be cautious if you experience any lightheadedness or dizziness.
Contrast Therapy
Heat up in our Infrared Sauna, followed by a 3-minute or more dip in our cold plunge, or reverse the order depending on your goals. Hot/Cold therapy has long been used to help with recovery, including chronic pain and stress. All within a private room.
