Cold Plunge & Sauna

Framework's Wedgewood Houston Flagship is Nashville's first dedicated social studio for sauna and cold plunge, offering a comprehensive contrast therapy experience. The studio provides seven traditional saunas and thirteen cold plunge tubs, available in both indoor and outdoor, public and private configurations. Members follow a recommended cycle of a quick rinse, a "shiver" in a cold plunge, and a "sweat" in a sauna, repeating as desired. The cold plunges offer a choice of three distinct temperatures: 60, 50, and 40 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing guests to challenge themselves. A typical session lasts a full hour, with guests moving back and forth between the saunas and cold plunges. This contrast therapy is noted for its rejuvenating and recovery benefits, with many members reporting feeling exceptionally good afterward and considering it a life-changing addition to their wellness routine.

It provides a versatile environment where guests can engage in the social community aspect, meeting and chatting with others, or opt for a more quiet and relaxing experience.

The overall atmosphere is distinct from typical gym saunas, noted for being hygienic and tranquil.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for a contrast therapy session?

Members follow a recommended cycle: a quick rinse at an outdoor shower, a "shiver" in a cold plunge (choosing from 60, 50, or 40°F), and a "sweat" in a sauna. This cycle is repeated as desired during the session, often for a full hour. A common tip is to end with the cold plunge, not the sauna.

Are there private options available, or is it only a social experience?

The studio offers both public social areas and fully private room options. The private setup is perfect for small groups seeking a more intimate experience, while the public areas feature multiple saunas and cold plunges for a social atmosphere.

Is parking available at the studio?

Yes, the studio has a free parking lot, which guests find to be pretty easy and convenient.
