Tap the shopping bag and pick First Timer Two Sessions. It costs $0 and you don't need a credit card.

What do I bring?
A towel, a water bottle and a change of clothes.
Forgot something? We sell towels and water bottles at the front desk.
What do I wear?
A swimsuit or workout clothes. Clothing is required the whole time.
Sandals or water shoes are fine. Leave the shoes you wore outside by the door.
What happens when I walk in?
Look for the First Timers sign at the front desk.
You fill out a short waiver on the iPad. Then a staff member shows you around and explains how it all works.
How long do I stay?
Every session is 1 hour.
A good start is 10 to 15 minutes in the sauna, then a short dip in the cold plunge. Rest, then repeat for 2 to 3 rounds.
Go at your own pace. Get out whenever you want.
How hot and how cold?
The saunas run at 190 to 200°F. The cold plunge stays at 40 to 45°F.
What if I don't like the cold?
That's normal. Start with a few seconds, or just go in halfway.
You can also skip it and just use the sauna. Plenty of people build up slowly.
A quick safety note
Sauna and cold plunge put real stress on your body. You use them at your own risk. Talk to your doctor first if you're pregnant, have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, or any other medical concern. Don't use the sauna or cold plunge after drinking alcohol or taking anything that makes you drowsy. Drink plenty of water. Get out right away if you feel dizzy, faint or unwell, and tell a staff member. Everyone signs our waiver before their first visit.
