The staff were very helpful in explaining everything, as this was my fiancé and my first time here. We booked the bath experience, which was the most basic but a great place to start. It included soaking in the large warm tub, steam room, and sauna, as well as the cold plunge. We left feeling so incredibly relaxed. We bought a bag of their tea as well because it was that delicious. The facilities were very clean! Weekend parking in the neighborhood is free and we were there late on Sunday, so plenty of spots! This is the perfect way to reset after a hard week. We will be back!!!

The warm water pool and sauna are definitely the highlights - so relaxing! If you're looking for a relaxing escape, this is it! They had a little relaxing room where you could go if you got too warm (it's very hot and hard to breathe in the main bathhouse area) which included an area to meditate and rest/nap. They do not allow any speaking, even whispering, so it's definitely not a spa environment to catch up in! I do think a few things could be altered to further improve the bathhouse experience, though! There's a very small hallway where all the lockers, changing rooms and bathrooms are, as well as the only place to come or go. It's very cramped and makes it hard to maneuver in or out. There are only two bathrooms in the bath house, and they also double as the showers which did impact the practicality of getting ready afterwards. Additionally, I would recommend improving the flow between massage and bathhouse since you have to carry all of the items you came in with down a set of stairs in a robe. With the word "spa" in the name, I expected a traditional spa experience where I was given a locker and a robe before my service rather than getting a massage right out of my street clothes.

I'm on the hunt for a good spa in the twin cities area and decided to try out Anda Spa. They are…read moredefinitely on the pricier end but offer amenities I was eager to check out + they have membership options. If you have an appointment- they offer complimentary valet. Now if the valet will be available is a whole other story. It took a considerable amount of time to drop off my car and I had asked three different employees about getting change for tipping and this proved more difficult than expected. I was greeted by Laura - who truly was the bright spot in this whole experience. She was on top of it and so friendly. She got me a locker and got me set up. I was eager to come here because they boasted a steam room, sauna, rainforest shower, and hot tub. Lukewarm would be a great way to describe this experience. The steam room just didn't get as steamy or warm as I would like, I had to turn on the sauna myself and wait for it to warm up (energy efficiency maybe) and the hot tub had water features that were spitting out ice cold water - cooling down the whole hot tub. I didn't venture to the rainforest shower because I couldn't bear to be any colder! I did love the tiled heated chairs in this lounge though! Normally these features would be my favorite and I could spend all day rotating but Anda spa caps you at an hour. There are a few lounges that you can check out. The one lounge has a few snacks, unlabeled tea, and fruit infused water. As some one with allergies - the mystery of it all wasn't great. The other lounge had weighted blankets. I was told to wait in either lounge for my technician. My technician was around 10 minutes late to my appointment without any notice. I had to walk out to the front to flag a staff member down to make sure I understood the instructions correctly. This definitely detracted from the relaxed vibe. The facial was in a brighter room than I'm used to and obviously you're downtown so it can be a bit noisy. The facial itself was good and the technician had strong hands though I wish I would've researched more about the products. My skin has felt dried out since and it's just not the best experience I've had. I'm going to check out some other spa options before I return here. Again - Laura was phenomenal and the space is clean and modern - I just didn't have the experience that I would've liked for the price.

I love that they don't charge you joiners fee and you can buy your membership several different ways. You can pay for a day pass, punchcard (certain amount of times), or by the months increments (1,3,6,12). A day pass I think is only $5. They also have free nights for anyone who lives in Brooklyn center on Saturday evenings. You are able to use both the pool and the fitness room it's from 5pm to 7pm. I originally bought a 10 inch pass. I liked it so much. I'm planning to now getting a year membership. It's a lot less crowded than other gyms . At least in the evenings. I've never been there other times of the day. I haven't had chance to do the group fitness yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it. I'm also planning to sign up for some swim lessons this year. I would love to learn this would be for summer.

Embrace North is a mixed bag for me. I had a subscription for around three and a half months and I…read morecan say it has its ups and downs. Some of the positives are the community. I met so many interesting people here and it can be really fun. It is also pretty inclusive and I met a wide range of people from different ages and backgrounds. The hot sauna is also really nice and relaxing. Some of the cons are the availability. This place can get very packed and the slots book up super fast. It can be frustrating because there were times when it felt impossible to get in since everything was fully reserved a week in advance. Considering it is almost forty bucks a month it is reasonable, but if you can only make certain times that never line up, you end up feeling like why do I even have this membership. Another issue is the cleanliness of the ice tubs. I noticed many times that the tubs looked a bit dirty on the inside. When I say dirty, I mean kind of gross, maybe even unhygienic. At the beginning of every month they do a full deep clean, which I really appreciate, and right after that the tubs look pretty good. But as the weeks go on they get dirtier, probably because of the heavy traffic. This bothered me because when I go in for a cold plunge and see skin flakes, hair, or random stuff floating in the water, it makes the experience unpleasant. I also got some acne on my back during the time I was going here, especially when I was doing the cold plunge often. Now that I have not gone for a couple months the acne has fully disappeared. I am sure they have a chlorine and cleaning system, but I think the tubs need to be cleaned more often. The cold plunge setup itself is cool though and I did enjoy using it as far as the temperature experience goes. They have three main saunas inside the building. One is the quiet sauna, but it does not stay that quiet since it is between the two louder saunas. I wish they had a better way of keeping it quiet. The other two are a smaller sauna facing the tubs and a large one in the back. All of them get pretty hot which I really appreciate and they smell really good. I am not sure if it is essential oils or something else, but the scent is relaxing. They have a changing room, a bathroom, and lockers for your stuff. The service is OK. Some of the employees seemed like they did not want to be working, at least during my visits, while others were super nice and outgoing. It seems like it depends on the day, but you do not interact with the staff that much anyway so it is not a huge factor. They charge you if you want to use one of their towels, but I recommend bringing your own. They have quick showers to rinse off, and I almost wish people used them more considering you are going from a hot sauna straight into the ice bath. Sometimes it feels like people just jump between everything without rinsing, which is kind of gross. I am not sure how they can fix this without staff stepping in. I recommend trying Embrace North for at least a month. If it is not for you, it is forty bucks and you probably will still get some good use out of it.

A visitor whose behavior multiple guests have experienced as predatory and harassing was reported, and staff stated they would take action and launch an investigation. Despite that, the individual continues to return. After giving the business another chance based on those assurances, I've seen no meaningful change. The result is a space that feels increasingly unsafe and poorly managed when it comes to guest conduct. At this point, the stated commitment to addressing harassment does not appear to match reality. It feels like profit is being prioritized over the basic responsibility of maintaining a safe environment for visitors.

This was my first-ever experience in an infrared sauna, much less in a gym where you workout IN an…read moreinfrared sauna. It was easy to schedule, and the front desk person was friendly while giving me a tour. Isometric classes are about 40 minutes, but the cardio classes (yes, there are bikes and rowers IN the sauna pods) are only 15 minutes. The website says that is because they are basically twice as effective a room-temperature class, so you can do one sauna class in half the usual time. I did an isometric class, so I can't speak to the cardio experience, but I have never sweat more, not even in hot yoga. The provided mat and towel did their job, though, and it wasn't slippery at all. You reserve a time in a particular pod, and pick a specific pre-recorded class. The iso classes seemed to be one-person-per-pod as I walked by, but the cardio pods each had 3 bikes or 3 rowers in there, so you could be with other people. I could definitely feel my muscles burning, even though the exercises were slow and with minimal weight. I followed the instructions and drank a ton of water the rest of the day, but I did feel very good afterwards. Energized yet calm at the same time. Maybe I really did sweat out all of the negative vibes for the day (*shrugs*). I was happy to see a traditional free weights area with rack, so you could do extra exercises if you wanted to. The gym is 24 hours (not staffed the whole time, but members have access), which is definitely a nice perk, and the price is really reasonable (only $60/month for a basic membership). There are gyms with fewer amenities that charge that much, and this place was super nice. I would definitely go again and try a different workout, and would even consider this as a primary gym membership option.

I'm updating my review, and upgrading to five stars, in light of my six months as a very active -…read moreand very satisfied - member. This is a small fitness center which specializes in sauna workouts. Most of the space in this gym consists of actual saunas (although the weight-training area is quite well-appointed). There are two types of workout sessions that can go on in the saunas: isometric workouts like yoga and Pilates ("Hot Yoga", "Hot Warrior", etc.), and cardio workouts like exercise bike routines and rowing machine routines ("Hot Cycle", "Hot Thunder", etc.). Each sauna has a monitor with a virtual fitness instructor coaching you through a specific, well thought out session. Because these workout sessions are in for-real-hot saunas, they are INTENSE. But also for that reason, they are shorter than a normal comparable workout. You get more workout in less time, and the heat negates the need for extended pre-workout stretches. This is literally the only gym membership that has ever worked for me. I have visibly lost weight and my overall health and energy level have improved dramatically. Every other time I've tried a workout regime, it was always tempting to find excuses not to do it. But I am always excited for my Hotworx sessions. I look forward to my scheduled sessions and I always feel energized afterward. (Maybe not RIGHT afterward because at the end of the session I am an absolute mess... but that's how I know I'm doing it right!) These workouts are challenging, every time, but they are just doable enough that I know I'll be able to get through it. And there are modifications you can make to fit your abilities for each program, so if it seems impossible, make an adjustment that works for you. I have more details in my original review, and also I've left several tips in that section of the app. But after six months and probably about a hundred sessions, I can attest that Hotworx delivers on its promise, and I am a healthier and happier person than I was six months ago.

Right in the heart of the North Loop, within walking distance of many cafes, lunch spots, the river, and more. We brought our 10 pound dog with us and across from the hotel is a large grass area for him to use the bathroom. The hotel is also VERY dog friendly and they put his name on the VIP board by a welcoming bowl of dog treats. The staff is amazing and I loved that I could text with questions or requests. They're very responsive, friendly, and helpful. The check-in process was quick and easy as well. When we arrived in our room, I had requested bottles of Aqua Panna, duck fat chocolate chip cookies, and the Oregon Pinot Noir. All items were ready in the room and we finished the bottle of wine, it was great, and the cookies were amazing with a great texture! Somewhere between chewy and crispy. Our room is very cool, like a Chicago loft with brick walls and a city view. The bathroom is very nice as well, I love the soaps and shampoo/conditioner they have. We had dinner at Tullibee twice and it was incredible! Wonderful service and outstanding food. We opted for the 6-course chefs choice and if I could give more than 5-stars, I would!
