SweatHouz Sugar House

1140 E Wilmington Ave, Salt Lake City, UT

SweatHouz Sugar House is a studio in a national contrast therapy franchise, on Wilmington Avenue in Salt Lake City's Sugar House neighborhood. There are no shared rooms. Each booking gets a private suite for 60 minutes, with a full-spectrum infrared sauna, a single-person cold plunge held at 48-50°F and a vitamin C-filtered shower. The sauna is set to 140°F by default and goes up to 175°F, and you set the lighting and music yourself. Visits are booked in fixed one-hour slots, because each suite is cleaned between guests. Arriving late shortens your session. The suggested routine is 20 to 30 minutes of heat, a rinse, then 2 to 5 minutes in the plunge, repeated and ending on cold. Towels and shower products are in the suite, and many guests wear only a towel in the sauna, with a swimsuit or shorts for the plunge. A first intro session costs $35, or $59 for the "Double Dose" intro, and a regular drop-in costs $70. Packs cost $129 for 3, $199 for 5, $349 for 10 or $599 for 20, and they work at any SweatHouz location. Memberships cost $79 a month for 2 sessions, $129 for 4, $199 for 8 and $249 for unlimited. It suits people who want contrast therapy in private, whether on their own or with a partner, since you can share your suite with a guest for an added fee. It's also an easy first try for anyone nervous about a busy public sauna. The heat is infrared and milder than a traditional sauna, so serious sauna-goers looking for 190°F+ heat will find it gentle.
