Hearth is a new take on an ancient bathing ritual. We want to put public saunas in beautiful places around the Midwest (Beaches, parks, forests etc.), preferably near a clean, cold body of water for deliberate cold exposure. Both deliberate heat and deliberate cold exposure have well documented health benefits. The combination of the two makes for a very pleasant experience. Doing this hot-cold “contrast therapy” in a beautiful outdoor setting, with friends, is really something special. We have a high-quality, wood fired sauna that is pre-fabricated and mobile. This is our first season in operation and our regular guests rave about our healthy social experience.
We see an untapped market here in grand rapids for community saunas. There are plenty of people with private saunas; and gyms with gender segregated saunas in their locker rooms; and spas that will rent saunas for private sessions. We imagine building a social community around this cedar oasis.
Details:
We currently offer 20 public sauna sessions per week. Each session is 70 minutes long and has a capacity of 10 people. Guests can pay $35 for one session, $280 for 10 sessions, or $125/month for an unlimited membership. We also offer private sessions by appointment, priced at $250.
This form will not let me enter the correct start date of Hearth, but we were founded in 2023.
