Gainesville Sauna House is a Finnish-inspired sauna + contrast therapy space designed for people who want to slow down, recover deeply, and disconnect from modern technology.

We chose a membership model on purpose — so you don’t have to think twice about taking care of yourself. No counting sessions. No saving visits for “special occasions.” Just come as often as your body needs, and make sauna & cold plunge part of your everyday rhythm.

We’re currently offering Founding Memberships at our lowest rate — $199/month — with early access when we open.

Risk-free. If you decide it’s not for you once you see the space, we’ll refund you.

Sit. Slow down. Be human.

Before there was a building, there were books.

These works—focused on stillness, simplicity, and the nature of being human—helped shape the philosophy behind Gainesville Sauna House.

If you’re looking for thoughtful guidance on sauna design, construction, and the deeper ideas that inform them, we invite you to explore these titles.

Two authors in particular, Lassi Liikkanen and Glenn Auerbach, have been closely involved throughout our design process. We’re grateful for their work and look forward to continuing to learn from and collaborate with them as we build GSH.

🔥 Gainesville’s first Finnish sauna house is coming soon! 🔥

We’ve been getting a few of the same questions lately, so here’s the scoop 👇

1️⃣ What’s included?
Two custom-built Finnish saunas + an in-ground cold plunge pool ❄️

2️⃣ What’s a Founding Membership?
You’ll get first access when we open (aiming for March 2026), lifetime locked-in rates, and discounts on classes, events, and more.

3️⃣ What else can you expect?
Come solo or join instructor-led sauna + cold plunge sessions.
We’ll also host private events and community experiences that go way beyond the typical wellness spot.

🚀 Founding Memberships are limited.

~ Part 2 of 2 ~

We aim to provide an “authentic Finnish sauna experience,” which to us means two things:

1. The hot rooms are designed to provide proper heat, steam, and ventilation; both Glenn Auerbach of .com_ and Lassi Liikkanen of have been invaluable in our research and design efforts. More on that later!

2. We try to source materials – heater, stones, wood - from right here in North America. Just as the Finns built their saunas with local material, we will prioritize doing the same. Western redcedar is the gold standard for sauna wood in North America. We will build the interior of our hot rooms with this, while also testing the local Florida Cypress. Again, more on that later!

We plan to open our doors first to Founding Members in April 2026 for a limited period, after which we will reopen membership applications. Founding Memberships will be $199 a month for now. If you sign up now and then decide it is not for you once April rolls around, no worries, you will be able to cancel your membership at any time, no questions asked.

As we have begun to say, “We hope to see you on the bench!”

Hey there, Gainesville 👋 We’re Connor & Taylor — two Gainesville natives who enjoy sitting in hot rooms and jumping in cold water. A little about our sauna journey and GSH below 👇

My sauna journey started in 2016 after losing my grandfather to Alzheimer’s — this inspired me to look deeper into how heat, cold, and routine have strengthened the mind and body over thousands of years. Taylor’s started in 2019 as she searched for natural, time-tested ways to heal from chronic pain.

During the COVID lockdown, we lived in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle & Bremerton, Washington), where we purchased a sauna for our home. There wasn’t much to do besides hike and spend time in nature, and we ultimately found ourselves plunging into every freezing lake and stream we could find.

When we moved back to Gainesville, we decided to start a business, Gainesville Sauna House, with a straightforward goal: open a facility that makes sauna and cold therapy part of everyday life — not a luxury.

Therefore, we have decided to offer memberships. As a member, you will have unlimited access to our facility. You will have the option of simply coming to the sauna and navigating at your own pace (like a gym membership) or participating in pre-scheduled instructor-led sauna and cold plunge classes (in general, these will be three rounds of sauna and cold plunge in a group setting).

We are currently renovating our new space at 1210 NW 23rd Ave, featuring two Finnish saunas, an in-ground cold plunge, and ample indoor and outdoor space designed for the community to recharge, reset, and reconnect.
