- Traditional Sauna231A dry, high-heat room warmed by an electric or wood-fired stove, usually running between 160°F and 200°F.
- Infrared Sauna330A cabin that heats the body directly with infrared panels, operating cooler than a traditional sauna at roughly 120°F to 150°F.
- Steam Room130A sealed room held near 100% humidity at roughly 110°F to 120°F.
- Cryotherapy135A whole-body chamber cooled with nitrogen or refrigerated air for very short exposures, typically two to three minutes.

Before you book

- Traditional vs infrared saunaHow the two sauna types actually differ — heat, humidity, session length, and price — and which suits which person.
- Contrast therapy explainedThe hot-cold-repeat structure of a contrast session, private suites vs communal circuits, and what a first visit looks like.
- Your first cold plungeWhat to bring, what the first 30 seconds feel like, realistic first targets, and how studio pricing usually works.
- Your first 30 daysA four-week progression with realistic temperatures and durations, what each week actually feels like, exit cues, and how to get past the week-three drop-off.
- Studio vs home costWork out the breakeven point between booking studio sessions and buying a tub, using the prices studios actually publish.
- Home cold plunge tubsA spec comparison, not a best-of list: price, chiller capacity, coldest achievable temperature, insulation, filtration, power draw, and warranty, each sourced and dated.
- Chiller sizingHow to size a chiller to water volume, ambient temperature, and your target temperature — and why the same unit performs differently in July than in January.
- Home sauna kitsTraditional and infrared sauna kits with the specifications their makers actually publish — heater rating, capacity, materials, electrical requirements, and warranty.
Why the dates matter
Studios change their plunge temperature, drop their day pass, or close for a refit — and most directories never notice. Every listing here shows the date its details were last checked, and where we haven't confirmed something, the field is simply absent rather than guessed. You can judge how much to trust a listing before you drive across town.
