How it works

What you'll feel

Your own private heat

The Ember Room is our private dry sauna, filled with deep, dry heat held between 160 and 180°F for a 25-minute session. You sit or recline on smooth wood, close the door, and give yourself time that belongs to no one else.

The warmth builds

In the first few minutes, the heat wraps around you gradually, starting at your skin and working its way in. Your breathing slows, your shoulders soften, and before long you notice the first beads of sweat.

Deep, steady, dry

Through the heart of the session, the Ember Room holds an even, enveloping dry heat while your body warms all the way through and you settle into a steady sweat. Most members simply breathe, stretch out, and let the quiet do its work.

After training, or at dusk

Many members step into the Ember Room right after a workout, when the warmth feels like a natural way to close out the effort. Others save it for the evening, making it the quiet ritual that marks the end of a long day.

The Ember Room is designed to pair with Arctic Contact for a classic hot-and-cold contrast, moving from deep warmth to a crisp chill and back again. Members also like to add a visit to the H2 Lounge, or finish in the Reset Chair for a calmer close to their visit.

When your 25 minutes are up, you step out into cooler air, take a long drink of water, and let your body settle. Members often tell us they leave warm, loose, and calm, with a glow that lingers well into the day.
