SweatHouz Lakeview

3101 N Clark St, Suite F, Chicago, IL

SweatHouz Lakeview is the North Side SWTHZ studio, on Clark Street near the Belmont CTA station, Belmont Harbor and the Lakefront Trail, serving Lakeview East, Wrigleyville, Northalsted, Lincoln Park and Roscoe Village. It is built for the lakefront-runner routine: a private infrared sauna, cold plunge and vitamin C shower in one suite, an hour at a time, no shared spaces. Every session is 60 minutes in a private suite that holds all three modalities: a Clearlight full-spectrum infrared sauna you can set anywhere from 140°F to 175°F, a cold plunge held at 48-50°F, and a vitamin C-infused shower to rinse between the two. There is a TV with Bluetooth audio in the sauna and color-changing lights, and the suite is yours alone, so towel-only in the heat is fine; bring swimwear or spandex shorts for the plunge. Suites can be shared with a guest, which makes it one of the easier places in the city to introduce a partner to contrast therapy. A first session is $35 (or $59 for a two-visit Double Dose), and a drop-in after that is $90. Session packs run from three for $169 to twenty for $799 and work at any SWTHZ studio nationwide, and memberships start at $99 a month for two sessions and top out at $349 for unlimited. Red light therapy is an add-on at select studios. Book through the SWTHZ app; arrive a few minutes early to settle in.
