What a contrast bathhouse is

A wellness bathhouse or contrast-therapy club pairs hot rooms (sauna, steam) with cold plunges and often warm pools, in a designed space you book by the session or by membership. Some run guided sessions; most are co-ed with swimsuits.

    160 to 200°F, air, low humidity

Typical temperatures, from cold plunge to Finnish sauna. Each venue sets its own; check the numbers posted on site.

What to bring

  • A swimsuit (most are co-ed)
  • Flip-flops
  • A water bottle

Etiquette

  • Shower before the pools.
  • Keep the cold plunge short at first and get out if you feel unwell.
  • Respect quiet zones and phone rules.
  • Rest between hot and cold rounds.
