How Participants Should Prepare:

• Clothing:

  • Anything that you’re willing to sweat and or get wet in. We recommend athleisure (shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, sports bras, etc). Men may remove their shirts; we are not a nude sauna; please dress appropriately.

  • No shoes are allowed in the sauna. Participants can (1) remove them on our outside turf area or (2) remove them immediately upon entering the sauna on the towels / mats that we have set up.

• Accessories:

  • Participants should bring a towel of their own. We do have a limited number of towels to provide just in case; these towels are RWC branded and can be purchased upon request.

  • We highly recommend bringing a water bottle.

  • We recommend removing jewelry prior to entering the sauna.

  • Phones and headphones are typically okay - participants should not be surprised if they see an overheat warning message on their phone if staying in the sauna for 25+ minutes at a time. Simply set the phone outside the sauna if this occurs. We have a lockbox for your phones right outside for your convenience.

• Etiquette:

  • Participants must sign a liability waiver before entering the sauna and/or cold plunge.

  • If you’re planning on a quiet experience, we highly recommend bringing ear plugs, headphones, and eye mask (optional). We find that the sauna can be a wonderful opportunity to meet people and chat quietly.

  • Make room for your peers. Participants may stretch out, lay down, etc. - but as the sauna fills up, please be mindful of the space you’re using and work together to make it comfortable for everyone.

  • Participants may use the water bucket and ladle to generate steam by ladling water into the hot rocks on top of the stove. We recommend consulting with the group you’re in the sauna with before doing this.

  • Beginners should stay in the sauna for no longer than 15 minutes at a time. & no more than 1-3 minutes in the cold plunge - more experienced participants can stay in for longer rounds. A short break (5-10 minutes + some water) is enough time between rounds. The highest number of rounds we recommend is 3.

  • No smoking or alcohol in the sauna. If you have consumed alcohol prior to your session, you enter the sauna at your own risk (this is noted in the liability release).
