Othership is truly an incredible experience from the moment you walk through the door. It is so much more than just a sauna or wellness facility. The entire experience is thoughtful, fun, energizing, relaxing, and genuinely different from anything else I have tried. The staff are outstanding. Everyone is welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for every guest. They make you feel comfortable immediately, whether it is your first visit or you have been there many times. The guided sessions are especially impressive because the team knows how to create an atmosphere that is both exciting and restorative. The facility itself is beautiful. It is exceptionally clean, well maintained, thoughtfully designed, and has an amazing energy. Every detail feels intentional, from the sauna and cold plunge experience to the communal spaces and overall atmosphere. You can tell that a tremendous amount of thought went into creating a place where people can relax, recharge, connect, and have fun at the same time. The location is also fantastic. It is convenient, vibrant, and perfectly complements the entire Othership experience. You can make a full outing of it and feel like you have completely stepped away from the normal pace of the day. What I enjoyed most is that Othership manages to make wellness feel social and fun rather than clinical or routine. You leave feeling refreshed physically, clearer mentally, and in a genuinely better mood. There is a real sense of community and positive energy throughout the entire space. An absolutely amazing experience, an exceptional team, a beautiful facility, and a concept that is truly unique. I would highly recommend Othership to anyone looking for something different, memorable, and incredibly enjoyable. I will definitely be back. Five stars without hesitation. read more

Has a premium vibe from the moment you walk in. It feels a little bit corporate...but for a place where we're taking most of our clothes off in front of each other, I'll mark that as a positive. Sauna and cold plunges are amazing. Love the options for free flow or guided (guided is a good idea if you've never done a cold plunge, they're intense). Only dropping a star because the locker room situation is kind of gross. There isn't a mud room for shoes. People are walking in off the streets in NYC and sharing the same locker room floor as your bare feet, then are going into the facility. Anyone that lives here knows the streets and sidewalks are a living mosaic of dog and bum dumps. read more

Really felt valued coming here. Was a great experience overall. Upon arriving I was greeted warmly and noticed the calming incense scent. The size of the location is fair for NYC. It is what it is and you get what you get. I also appreciate the different scent in the outside lounge area and love how incense keeps burning everywhere. The selection of teas is nice to choose from. I really enjoyed the Tibetan singing bowl meditation in the sauna. The cold plunge area was designed nicely. There were also an appropriate amount of showers to rinse off. Looking forward to coming back in the fall and winter read more

I've been coming to Othership for about a year now and its one of my favorite places in NYC. They have different classes as well as "free flow" where you get to use the facilities to your leisure. Its a great way to practice breathwork, try the ice baths and overall relax from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can do classes or a membership but I personally love the latter! read more

Othership Flatiron was truly a full body transformative experience. The class was one of the most amazing gratitude, breath work sessions with Lindsey and support guide Eli. Othership provides a serene, dimly-lit sanctuary, offering an escape from the busy lifestyle of the city. From the moment I walked in, the aroma immediately calmed, and centered me. The phenomenal front desk ladies that are very inviting, welcoming, and help create a very transformative space. Definitely made me feel at home. Special thanks to Daphne Rose that gave me a an amazing experience at the front desk. The changing room is next level, luxury! Everyone that i met were inspiring with sharing how the state of gratitude, and programming your subconscious mind can change your life. We were all in the same headspace of embracing gratitude. The facilities are super clean, and the aesthetic--dark wood, soft lighting, and natural touches--is designed to soothe. The guided gratitude class combines the thermal benefits of the sauna with focused breathwork. Inside the sauna, the instructor leads a powerful guided visualization, enhanced by aromatherapy. The supportive and calming group energy creates a deep sense of contentment and peace. Thank you again Lindsay, and Eli for everything. The communal tea lounge, is cozy, an ideal for post-session reflection. Thank you Root for keeping the lounge flow great, answering questions, guiding, having cold water ready after the sauna breath work. Fabulous! The ice bath was next level! My body mind, spirit, and nervous system, loved every bit of my experience, and definitely have to bring friends. Othership offers something special for both experienced and first-time sauna users. The class provides a reminder to slow down and appreciate the present moment. Leaving the class leaves a feeling of being reset, refreshed, and grateful. It's recommended to revisit. read more

This was an AWESOME experience! My friend brought me here while I was on a work trip and it made me so sad that they don't have one in LA. I love a cold plunge but the guide helping me through it made me last so much longer than I normally would. I highly recommend coming here! read more

It's a wonderful spot. I'm really proud of myself that I've done two minutes of cold plunge, thankfully with the help of the amazing staff! read more

I love Othership. I tried the self guided and the guided. I preferred the guided meditation. Very social and a cool vibe.

I just took the sound immersion class with Valeria and experienced the best way to start a Saturday! It was my first time at othership and I went alone, so I really wasn't sure what to expect. Her class was so welcoming and relaxing. I couldn't last the full two minutes in the cold plunge but felt no judgement or pressure for having to hop out early. I wish the sound immersion class was every Saturday, I would absolutely come back for that but am excited to try other classes as well! read more

LOVED the experience (Guided Down), a really chill balance of guided and chill time, the space is so clean and vibey

The guide was absolutely incredible and skillful. Everything was clean, the journey was clear, and I came out feeling weightless. As a first-timer, it was wonderfully intense but there were levels to choose from which made me feel very comfortable and held. read more

Best sauna in the city! Can't share enough good things about this place. Clean, excellent teachers, great vibe - highly recommend!

I stopped by for first time around lunchtime on a weekday. I'm no veteran to sauna/cold dips but have gone to a few especially internationally. Clean, good music, the human guides are helpful with their knowledge but not pushy. Like the teas and water cups. Front desk and staff generally are super friendly. Convenient location. Pricing is OK but definitely not a steal (I booked via classpass) Wish the cold "tubs" were deeper than 1.8M. Also some of the people in the "quiet lounge" are disrespectful and having full loud conversations. Also wish there was more variety but I understand the limitations of NYC space. Sessions are 75min in total which is fair but lean towards longer spas. Worth a try! You will definitely feel great and relaxed after read more

Othership Flatiron - Saunas Near Me - New York, New York

Supposedly the biggest sauna in the US originating in Toronto, this is such a unique experience as a combination of sauna and a cold plunge! I enjoy saunas but this was my first ever cold plunge, just because it's not something that normally appeals to me. If you're looking for a very specific, group oriented experience, this could be cool. You enter and immediately it's all dim lighting and dark wood. They check you in and give you 2 towels, one to bring with you and one for after, and a wristband that indicates that you're a first timer. There's a big women's changing space where you leave your shoes near the door and your coat as well. It's quite spacious with several bathrooms as well, but it seemed like just 1 shower within the changing space. Once you're in your bathing suit, you walk into a large open area, bleachers style and again this is group guided experience so you pretty much chat or drink some water and tea that they provide until everyone in that session is arrived and prepared. I believe the space accommodates up to 60-70 people, both women and men. Then you're guided into the sauna, which is a half circle and you can take a seat on 1 of 3 tiers, the tallest being hottest and the lowest closer to the huge container of hot coals. It can be dark in here while the instructor takes you through the experience, with some strobe / colorful lighting. They have snowballs of essential oils they toss on the coals and waft it to you with towels. Then depending on where you're sitting you enter the cold plunge room in groups, while the other groups stay in the sauna. There's 4 groups and they take you to rinse off in a big communal before entering the cold plunge. My big mistake was walking to the closest one on the left not realizing it said "Coldest", meanwhile there were one that said "Cold". Some can fit 4 people, others 2. It was very very very cold. It's 4 dips of 30 seconds each, 10 seconds out of the water in between. Honestly I bailed after the 2nd dip, it was just so cold! Everyone goes back into the sauna for a bit after, to chat. I left towards the beginning of this to run to work but again note there is just 1 shower in the women's changing space. I think this would be a great group experience for someone that's looking for a cathartic session with friends instead of the normal happy hour or hang out session. I'd come again for sure. They give you a little incense stick when you leave as a parting gift which is a nice touch! read more

Relaxing and meditative experience. I also tried their Adelaide location in Toronto, perfect balance of self-discovery and community experience. read more

This was a very lovely experience! I took the the sound immersion and came out completely relaxed. They guided us through breathing and had relaxing scents and live music throughout the class. The guidance through the ice bath was amazing as well - I don't think I could've done it if it weren't for the teacher! Would recommend if you want to relax and try a new sauna experience. read more

Othership is everything I need on a Saturday morning after a hard week. Love what they have created.

Took my friends who were visiting from out of town and had a great experience. People were super friendly and came out feeling fantastic

def my fave spa spot in nyc. the right balance of hippie and honest. guides to the cold rooms we're really helpful. the breath work session in the sauna was very solid, i didn't think i was gonna make it but i did! and the beats, how do i get that play list. read more

Unique space that offers a communal sauna and cold plunge experience. Othership has a warm, intimate vibe. The space is large and natural, cave-like: cedar paneling, riverstone flooring, drapery, moody red‑tinted lighting. You can have a more guided or independent experience depending on your preference, though it is certainly a shared space with a social bent. I went on a Friday and it began to get much more crowded and lively as the evening went on. If you're interested in a quiet experience, daytime /weekdays are best. read more

This is the best place ever. a staple in my wellness routine! Best staff and love the vibe here.

I had to go check out what the craze was about so I took a Guided All Around: Heart Opener class at Othership today, not quite knowing what to expect but going in with an open mind. I'd never really experienced a sauna before, nor had I ever attempted a cold bath. The experience began with a 20-minute session in the sauna, led by our instructor, Lindsey. I was surprised by how soothing it felt to be in the sauna (I personally don't like sweaty environments) and allowing a wave of calm to wash over me. As the heat settled in, so did a mix of emotions--mainly a deep sense of happiness. A few moments of sadness but it's all part of the class and I want you to experience it so I won't mention what was discussed in the class. Next came the cold bath, something I was both curious and excited about. It was a guided experience, and we were encouraged to stay in for up to two minutes. Stepping into the icy water was a shock to the system at first, but as my body adjusted, I found an unexpected tranquility. The cold melted away my tension, leaving me in a state of mindblowing peace. After the cold bath, we returned to the sauna for a brief segment before entering free-flow time. Here, we could choose to either linger in the warmth or brave another round of the cold bath. Naturally, I couldn't resist going for a second dip. I did read reviews that mentioned how crowded it could be, but I didn't mind--it added to the communal energy of the experience (in a flaming way). They also provide two towels and have spaces to shower in between and after the class, complete with body wash and shampoo, which was a nice touch. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would I do it again? Absolutely--if they offer discounts in the future. For now, though, I'm saving up and can't quite justify making this a weekly indulgence. But that's just me; I noticed many regulars who seemed to thrive on attending these sessions more frequently. read more

Every single time I visit the city I come here. The sauna is the best in the world. The classes, the free flow. The guided breath work and meditations in the sauna and cold plunge is out of this world. I do not say that facetiously. Any athlete, professional, hybrid or recreational needs to come here. If you had a hard day at work you need to come here. If you wanna spend quality time with quality people you need to come here. read more

such a nice relaxing time. the body check ins in the sauna are incredible, and the whole place smells great. would highly recommend

I love othership! Five stars all around. Highly recommend the guided down pure presence class.

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
