Bathhouse 101
What is a bathhouse?
A bathhouse is a place to rest, reset, and reconnect—so you can look, feel, and perform at your best. It’s both a space for personal restoration and a soft social environment where people can gather, relax, and recharge together.
At Glow, we welcome you exactly as you are. There’s no one way a bathhouse should be, and we’ve intentionally created an experience that’s functional, beautiful, and free of pretense.
Unlike a traditional spa, a bathhouse is more socially engaging and focused on well-being over luxury. Still, our space is thoughtfully designed, and our treatments are crafted to help you feel revitalized—inside and out.
We believe wellness should be accessible, affordable, and grounded. Glow is here to help you feel more human, more connected, and more alive. Come and restore your GLOW.
What to expect during your visit at Glow?
Come a few minutes earlier than the time you booked. This way we can get you checked-in and on your way to the sauna and pools quickly to fully soak in your two-hour visit
Just bring your bathing suit and water bottle (no glass allowed). Towels, slippers and some personal care products are supplied in our locker rooms and cleansing showers. Locks are not needed. There are integrated locks on the lockers that allow you to set your own combination. Please be sure to secure your belongings.
We have changing rooms, cleansing showers, a traditional cedar sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool, soaking pool and lounge area both indoors and out.
At Glow there is no right way and we encourage you to listen to your body. The key is to alternate between extreme temperatures, hot and cold. Rotate between our sauna, steam, cold plunge, soaking pool and lounge space. Our one request is that you take a cleansing shower before entering the bathhouse area.
Please do your best to arrive on time. If you are running behind, you are welcome to come and use the remaining time you have left for your bathhouse time or treatment. We do not issue refunds for partial or missed treatments or bathhouse experiences. No-shows are charged in full.

Traditionally, bathhouses have been the bustling center of a community and we recognize the social, shared experience and welcome it at Glow. However, we also know that many guests are looking for rest and reset and so we ask that you speak softly and respect those around you. If you are looking for a more social vibe check out Saturday nights and if you’re wanting silence – Sunday mornings from 9-10 am is just for you.

Experience the benefits of sauna & hydrotherapy
We are believers in the health benefits of sauna and cold plunging. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming space where you can experience both!
Sauna benefits
Saunas offer numerous benefits, including relaxation, stress relief, improved circulation, detoxification, pain relief, enhanced skin health, better respiratory function, quicker recovery after exercise, and mood enhancement. They promote an overall aura of well-being by relaxing muscles, flushing out toxins, improving blood flow, and boosting mood.
Cold plunge benefits
Alongside saunas, cold plunges offer a refreshing contrast and a range of benefits. The sudden exposure to cold water after heat exposure helps constrict blood vessels, reducing inflammation and promoting faster recovery. This contrast therapy can also enhance circulation, improve cardiovascular health, and boost the immune system. Additionally, the shock of cold water triggers the release of endorphins, providing a natural mood boost.
A fresh take on finding calm
Glow is something fresh — a take on finding calm through connection. Committed to curating experiences with sauna, specialty pools, yoga, and massage, Glow is a space for restoration and reinvigoration.
