Cold Plunge & Sauna

This gym provides a 24-hour infrared sauna fitness experience centered on private, three-person infrared sauna sessions. Gym members book these individual saunas for specific workout sessions, which are virtually instructed. The infrared heat is central to the workout benefits, and members report the saunas are in operable condition. This private, small-group format is noted for creating a comfortable environment, especially for those new to fitness or with social anxiety, as members can view the number of attendees booked for each session. The core offering is described as "24-hour sauna fitness," with sessions ranging from 15 to 45 minutes. One member noted the sauna appeared "noticeably dingy," though this feedback is mixed with other reports of the venue being clean.

Atmosphere

The environment is consistently described as welcoming, stress-free, and non-intimidating. Gym members appreciate that the studio is not overcrowded, which contributes to a comfortable and private workout experience. The ability to book sessions in advance allows for a personalized and flexible routine that fits individual schedules.
