Sauna Booking Information
Use this booking link so you have the space to yourself. We will have the sauna heated up for you:
Tips:
Lighting: For the best experience, we recommend turning off the room lights but keeping the sauna lights on. You can choose from a variety of lighting colors inside the sauna.
Music: Bluetooth speakers are available. Connect your phone to enjoy your own music during your session.
Water for the Rocks: There is a ladle and bucket inside the sauna. Feel free to sprinkle a small amount of water on the rocks to create steam and increase the humidity.
Session Length: The sauna timer runs for about one hour. If you stay longer, simply restart the timer.
Recommended Sauna Protocols:
Standard Routine: 20 minutes at 194°F is a common recommended dose for regular sauna use.
Extended Growth Hormone Protocol (discussed by Dr. Rhonda Patrick):
20 minutes in the sauna
10 minutes out (cool down)
20 minutes back in
This protocol has been shown to help stimulate growth hormone release, especially after strength training.
After-Hours Access: If you book a session outside normal clinic hours, you’ll receive an access code with your booking confirmation. Use the basement entrance to enter the building.
What to Bring: Please bring your own towels and water bottles. There is a sink available inside the sauna room.
Cleaning Up: After your session, please wipe down the sauna bench with your towel.
Fees/Donations: There is no formal charge to use the sauna or gym at this time. A suggestion box, which also serves as a donation box, is located in the gym. We welcome your feedback and any contributions! Both the gym and the sauna space is a work in progress.
Guests: Feel free to bring a friend! The sauna comfortably fits three people, with a maximum of four.
More information:
Type of Sauna: This is a traditional Finnish sauna, not an infrared sauna. It uses high heat, reaching up to 194°F. Traditional saunas have been heavily studied and are linked to a variety of health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, muscle recovery, and overall longevity. We intentionally chose this style based on the strongest available research — and because, personally, we believe nothing beats a true sauna experience.
Private Space: When you book a sauna or gym session, you are reserving the entire space for yourself. This ensures a private, relaxed environment whether you’re using the sauna, the gym, or both.
Bathroom Access: The restroom is located upstairs.
