I loved my experience at Othership! They are super beginner friendly for first-time cold plungers and the facilities were very clean :)

Othership is literally my favorite place ever!!! Most relaxing and most incredible place. There is no place more relaxing and calming. I've brought so many friends and I am fully addicted!! read more

Absolutely love this place! Always so relaxing and rejuvenating and I always look forward to my journey.

My new favorite thing! We know saunas to be relaxing but what's better than a beautiful guided class, complete with beautiful messages, gorgeous music, and feeling brave for hitting a two minute ice bath! This has been the best thing I could do for self-love. read more

This place is an amazing vibe - customer service is top notch, and it smells amazing! What a great concept

Truly an exceptional experience. I've been going once a week and I truly feel more regulated and composed. Amazing stress release in an hour. read more

Really cool space, a perfect oasis in a busy city like New York. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Very cool vibes!

What an amazingly unique experience! Perfect for a date, grief support, couples, friends, or solo. Single ladies, don't fret it's neither a ladies club nor a creepy place. It's on a calm, quiet street and as soon as you walk into the building the environment is even calmer given the dark ambiance, deep color scheme, and soft spoken, warm smiling staff. Hilay and her partner leading the Rose Bud Thorn experience were both so relaxing, supportive, and informative every step of the way. For the fellow Christian's out there who are concerned about spiritual conflicts of this, I invited two Christian friends with me and we prayed before & during reflective moments - it's not as you may assume. Everything was pretty and the scents remained on our body which was an unforgettable lovely fragrance. The teas were wonderful. I wished they were ingredient labeled. I'd love to collab with my women's organization TheWEN and also Yelp Elite. I will be sharing this with everyone. It was beautiful and rejuvenating. Go, enjoy!!!!! read more

I was meaning to try Othership for a long time and finally had the chance to go last week to an A-Z Emotions Class with Lindsay Hunt. I didn't really know what to expect but I went in with an open mind. The space is truly beautiful and smells amazing. There are locker rooms to change, showers and bathrooms to use. Othership also provides tea and water throughout the space. The class initially meets in the common room, which is stadium style seating with comfortable cushions. There, the instructor explained how the class would go. From there, class began in the sauna which is a short walk down the hall. We stayed in the sauna for about 20 minutes doing breath work and discussing various emotions. We also were able to share our experiences if we wanted to. The instructors used different essential oils thrown into the sauna to evoke different moods and then waved towels so we could smell them from our seats. The sauna seats are also stadium style and the higher you sit, the warmer you will feel. I believe the emotions we discussed were - anger, bravery, despair and compassion. We also did vocal releases with each emotion discussed. Afterward, we were told to shower off (nothing crazy - you keep your bathing suit on and take a quick rinse under the common area showers they have). That is when we went to the ice bath portion. I have never been able to do an ice plunge so I was nervous. Depending on your pool, there are 2-4 people per pool. The instructor does deep breathing exercises with you to count you off going into the pool. The best tip is not to slowly dip yourself in because your body will retract and you will not be able to get fully in! On the count of the instructor, most of us in the class just went for it and quickly went into the ice bath. It is certainly a shock to the system. The instructor is coaching you throughout. You are supposed to stay in the ice bath for 2 minutes, but most of the class exited the ice bath between the 30 second-1 minute mark. It is not easy to stay in the ice bath at all!! I think I made it to 30 seconds and then I had to listened to my body and get out of there! Initially, my feet felt like they were in shock and could not move. I wrapped myself in a towel and sat on the bench with some of the other classmates. As you are warming up, you do feel really great after the ice bath. It was an interesting experience to do an ice bath and even though it was very hard to stay in the water, the feelings afterward are pretty amazing. After the ice baths, we went back into the sauna for about another 15-20 minutes of breathwork and sharing stories. The last 15 minutes of class are given to use as 'free time' to go back into the ice bath, relax or stay in the sauna. This was an intense experience, but well worth the try. Individual classes are kind of pricey at $66 including tax, but I will try anything once. They do have open 'free flow' sessions that are not in a class format that allow you to use the space as you choose - i.e taking as many ice baths as you want or using the sauna as many times as you want within a 75 minute period. Some people may roll their eyes at some of the breathwork, vocal releases and the content of the classes but I find it to be interesting and it definitely sparked my curiosity. I would give Othership another try when I am mentally prepared for another ice bath (although I don't think much mental preparation can help you prepare - you just have to go for it). read more

this is my favorite place to stretch, meditate, connect, explore my senses, and test my limits - sauna-breathwork-coldplunge repeat repeat repeat! read more

I tried Othership for the first time recently, which was my first time ever doing a sauna and cold plunge experience! My friends and I signed up for a Free Flow session, which are unguided. The space is brand new with a dim, relaxing ambiance. Upon checking in, you enter a locker room where you put away your shoes. Changing rooms are available to change into your swimsuit. After the locker room you enter the tea room, a communal space with benches to hang out and relax. On one side of the facility is the sauna, which is large and can fit dozens of people inside. It's a bit of a "party sauna" vibe in that you are welcome to talk and there is music playing in the background. Every so often, a guide will come in and do a short session such as seated stretches. After the sauna, you have to briefly rinse off in the open showers before heading to the cold plunge. There are a couple of pools for either 2 or 4 people. We had a wonderful guide who led us through some breathing exercises and helped us get through 2 minutes in the cold plunge. She was honestly amazing and even did a short sound bath for us afterwards! The Free Flow session allows you to rotate between the sauna and cold plunge at your own pace, so we did them twice. In the tea room there are also cubbies for you to store your water bottles and towels, as well as water fountains and tea bags. Unfortunately the hot water tap was not working when I was there. Amenities wise they provide showers, toiletries, and two towels (one to sit on in the sauna, and one to dry off at the end). They also provide plastic bags to store your wet swimsuit after your session, but the bags are very thin and don't keep the moisture in very well (I would recommend bringing your own dry bag). read more

If you like guided experiences this will be fun! Bring a friends or come by yourself and bathing suit with change of clothes. The venue is beautiful with lockers, showers and waiting area. The inside has a dry sauna, shower section, lounge and ice bath. There are various classes you can take. You can buy credits on their website and book session online as well. This was my first visit and my friend got me into the most intense class my first time ( maybe not the best for everyone ) they have more relaxing and also self guided experiences as well. We did a rotation of dry sauna and ice bath for a total of 3 times. The whole experience in general was very positive. The instructors were great and honestly I've never don't a once bath before in my life but it was a lot of fun and very encouraging to do it with everyone. Definitely recommend stopping by if you enjoy guided classes! read more

I signed up for Othership's 14-day unlimited pass and stuck to the Free Flow classes for the most part. I prefer a quiet sauna, and I read online that most of their sessions are meant to be social. I tried my best to book non-peak times (their booking app shows you how many people are scheduled for any particular session), but the sauna still felt very busy with people speaking loudly and people constantly going in and out of the room. The busyness of the room made it a bit difficult to relax. The highlights of the sessions are when the guides come in and add aromatherapy snowballs into the heat. The different blends, like sage and basil or lavender and eucalyptus, fill the room and transport me to another place. It's so soothing and refreshing. I absolutely loved the cold plunge. I started off with 30 seconds and worked my way up to 2 full minutes. The time goes by surprisingly quick once you are fully submerged. And once you get out, you feel awake and ready to take on the day. The space itself is beautiful; there is a relaxation room you can hang out in in between your sauna and cold plunge sessions, and there is a station where you can get tea and water. I accidentally signed up for the Sound Immersion guided session with Valeria one Saturday morning and it blew me away! I do guided meditations often, and this class felt like the ultimate guided meditation. The sound bowls, gong, instruments (including Valeria's soothing voice) and aromatherapy really took the class to another level. The session was so impactful and relaxing, I was walking on cloud 9 for the rest of the weekend. I would highly recommend the Sound Immersion class for anyone needing a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of NYC! read more

I attended the love and empathy session ... with some coworkers so that was very interesting haha. I love a good sauna and ice bath venue, but this was definitely my first time trying something like this. It's a more social crowd than I'm used and the sauna gets pretty packed. It was definitely easier to sit through the sauna with no break as they talked us through breathing. The ice bath was tricky bc you have to share with others. I personally like sticking through for as long as possible (3+mins) and it's harder to do with other people moving in the water/getting in and out early etc so be wary. Keen to try again and bring my friends / make new friends! read more

amazing love it here so good, good vibes perfect for meeting hotties and fun cool people

People giving this four stars make me wanna scream. There is nothing like this in Manhattan, and I think it's just remarkable. Are there things that could be better? Perhaps, but again, find me anything remotely like this in New York City that is run as nicely, clean, with amazing staff, and I'll get your next class. Just an incredible experience of the mind body and soul. Just go! Bring a friend or two and challenge yourself. read more

Superb and generous giving surprise treatments. This is what it's all about giving things that are unexpected ! read more

I took class here with AJ and Regina, and if I could give these two an 11 out of 10, I would. I laughed, I danced, I cried, I evolved. I cannot wait to be back and experience the magic. AJ does such an incredible job in creating a safe, yet vulnerable environment to explore our inner minds. He roots his sharings in science, yet can relate everything to spiritual elements. He is a masterclass in creating an experience that can resonate with everyone. Regina is incredibly intuitive, kind, and does an excellent job using music as a tool to go deeper within. read more

First time trying out a class here and it was pretty cool, the instructors were calming and very great at keeping the whole experience engaging. read more

Absolutely love this place! After so much buzz on socials, I figured I'd give it a try. From the moment you walk in you feel relaxed. The sauna was very social so it's a great place to meet people or just go with friends. They also come in to do breath worth every so often which was nice. The cold plunges were also great. Loved that there were instructors there that were so willing to guide you. Only reason I didn't give this place a 5 stars was because of how small the locker rooms are. read more

Beautiful model spot for sauna and cold plunge. Once you get into the facility, put your shoes on the shoes rack and your belongings into locker. Get change and walk into the waiting area or straight to the sauna room. For the guided class, there is a guide sauna session, cold plunge and closing. I was late for the guided sauna session, so I had to wait until the session end to get into the sauna room. They do provide icy aroma towel at the end of the sauna session. That should be very refreshing You'll get your group number before your cold plunge. You fellow your group number and wait for the call to shower area before the guided cold plunge. After the plunge, you are welcome back to the room for last 5 minutes group closing session. Make sure you are on time for your guided class. They do provide you iced water and hot water, tea bags (anti inflammatory, clarity and detox) on the free flow class. I didn't see it in the guided class ( might be it's because it was a full class and the risk of spilling hot water might be increased). It's a good experience for guided class but I'll enjoy the free flow class more when it's not too crowded. read more

STRANGE : felt like an overpriced cult/ White Lotus vibes. People inside were a wearing sauna hat, and when I asked about them, I was told you've had to go to an insane amount of sessions given the price point. Rhythmic dancing by staff as they blow air on you and lead through meditation. All felt very performative and straight out of a someone's imagination. Not worth the price read more

After seeing videos online and reading about the space and intentionality behind the experiences I was very eager to visit. Othership did not disappoint, it was a profound experience with all the social wellness elements one could hope for. The sauna is a one of a kind and the other features are beautifully executed. I can't wait to return to NYC to visit again and meet more amazing people at the sauna social ! read more

I'm a ex employee of this place and I have to be honest with you all.this place is like a cult.and they don't care about their employees.i gotten hurt and was out for a few days and instead of seeing if I'm okay,they fired me.this place sucks for real! read more
