Details last checked
Embrace North is a communal bathhouse in Marcy-Holmes, just off the University of Minnesota campus, built around three electric saunas and one large cold spa that seats 9 to 13 people — you share the vessels with whoever else booked that hour rather than renting a private room. Access is sold as one-hour reserved sessions: $27.50 for a drop-in, or $49.95 a month for unlimited use that also covers the company's Denver location. It does publish setpoints, which is rarer than it should be: saunas at 200 F and the cold spa at 38-43 F — though those numbers sit on the shared homepage covering both Minneapolis and Denver, not on the Minneapolis location page itself. Weekday doors open at 5:30 a.m., and the whole facility shuts the second Tuesday of every month for deep cleaning. There is no phone number published anywhere on the site; booking and payment run entirely through their own app, and email is the only contact method listed.

New guests get two complimentary sessions. Bookings open seven days ahead, a late cancellation inside three hours forfeits the credit, and a no-show costs $8.
