This was my first experience at a salt room. So I didn't know exactly what to expect. When I…read morearrived I was checked in and taken to the dressing room where I could change into a robe that was provided along with slippers. The slippers were required but the robe was optional. I was also offered a beverage and I selected champagne. From there I was taken to the "salt room" where I was able to select a seat from two of the remaining of four chairs in the room. There were two other guests already in the room and we would participate in the salt room experience at the same time. The ladies were both pleasant and one was a frequent visitor and shared how the salt room has helped her asthma. I was excited to hear this as someone that also deals with respiratory issues. From there the attendant began pumping the salt and magnesium into the room by starting a machine. The first blast of the machine coming on I felt little particles of salt in my throat which made me cough. After a few minutes, this smoothed out and the experience was quite relaxing with soft music playing the background. The floors are covered with salt and I believe the tiles on the wall are also made of salt. The experience lasted between 45-60 minutes. Once we were done the attendant came back and invited us one by one to the dressing room to change clothes. I did notice improved breathing after a day that lasted for several weeks if not longer. I certainly will return.

It was so peaceful to just put the phone on silent and enjoy the peace and quiet. They did say you will see salt particles in the air and you may get a runny nose and sore throat that does go away the next day. I didn't experience either which is nice. My lips tasted salty from it. But other than that it was definitely a different experience. I think I enjoy the salt pool spas better but that's just me. Just because it's very warm water not to say it was cold in the room I was in. The salt soak spas seem to replay help with sore muscles a lot. I also tried the infra red sauna which was very warm and you definitely sweat. They adjust the temperature to whatever you can handle. I only had it at 140 degrees, because I am a wimp. Lol In the beginning it seemed to work when I first got into the sauna however then it shut off and it needed to get rebooted. However the infra red on the walls never came back on the only infra red lights that were two small ones on the ceiling so I was disappointed in that part of it. Not sure how two small infra red lights can really help when the sauna is pretty bright due to having a clear glass door. However the lady that was running it was very nice and sweet with explaining everything to me. Make sure you bring something to wear like a bathing suit or something. But they do provide you with a robe and sleepers. They also have a little shop of many different interesting products to buy along with clothing. Not sure if I will come back just because I am not sure what the benefits were for breathing in the salt vapors compared to a salt soak spa. Everything is so clean there and very organized. It's definitely worth giving it a try. I heard there are three of them here in Michigan so far. It is cheaper on your first visit.

Well let me tell you - DO get their "Famous D'Artagnan' Ribeye." It's now $40 (vs. $36 on the website menu) but trust me - steak hits different sitting in a robe post-sauna. It's 16 oz and you get two sides with it. Onto the bath house details -- they're super friendly and will give you a tour if it's your first time. High-level: there are men & women's locker rooms, but all the fun stuff is downstairs: dry sauna, wet sauna, cold plunge. When we went, the dry sauna was closed/broken SO it was such an experience to be in a packed wet sauna. It looked like like there was platza happening - like the whole getting smacked by leafy branches while laying down in the wet sauna. Ha. It smelled like eucalyptus to me though! It was actually pretty nice. The wet sauna is three tiers of seating and since heat rises, if you want to feel like a steamed dumpling -- sit at the top! Then, from the sauna - you jump into the cold plunge and then rinse and repeat. The cold plunge was only about 65 degrees - I wanted it to be colder! The Schvitz is very old school - wooden paneling, black & white tile. So, it's by no means a Canyon Ranch, but it is an experience and so unique! "Weird and wonderful" as a friend put it. All the folks working from the front desk to the kitchen were so so friendly - I'll definitely be back!

Starting in the locker room, it's really nice and there's a lot of space to get changed. Especially if you're coming from work or going to work. Olivia explained the different bath temperatures (you shower between each one in cold water too). They ranged from 55 degrees to I think 40 degrees (intervals of 5). I was struggling with the 55 and 50 but briefly tried the lower ones and it was too much for me. In between that, you go into the sauna, which I particularly enjoy. I was the only one there so it was very quiet and relaxing. Overall it's a really cool place! They have memberships too. Again, it's not for me other than the sauna, but enjoyed trying it!

The dressing room amenities are amazing, they stock pomades, deodorant, mouthwash, lotion, all of it. Then the sauna and cold plunge. Wow. Going from hot to cold was a first for me and now I'm in love with it. I came in right after a hybrid Hyrox workout and this really soothed my muscles. It was a solo experience and I left recovered and relaxed. Couple things held it back. The guy explaining everything was rushed. Nobody told me the wristband has a number that matches your locker, and you tap the band on the sensor on that locker to lock and unlock it. So I stashed my stuff on the bench next to the lockers and looked dumb for a minute. Small thing, but that one detail would've saved me. He ran through the cold plunge temperature options quick but didn't tell me what to expect or do once I was in the sauna, so I was figuring that out on my own. There was also no explanation on pricing or membership. I only got in through a Yelp invite so I lucked out there. On price, it's around $60 for a 2 hour session. Maybe that's worth it. For me it's steep. If they added 1 hour sessions at half that, or landed in the $25-35 range, I'd be a regular. If I had the budget I would've signed up on the spot. Also cool to find out it's part owned by a Latino, makes me happy I tried it. If you can swing the price, it's worth doing at least once.
