    Sudor is HOT! I tried the sauna studio after it was recommended to me by a friend and I have to say, I love it. The sauna concept is somewhat new to Houston, and Sudor does a fantastic job of creating a wellness experience that feels upscale but not unapproachable. The facility itself is modern and clean with ten total private sauna rooms, all roughly the same size. Each room has a sauna with adjustable temperature (165F max) and a timer to track your 45 minute session. The room also has a TV, private Bluetooth room sound system, towels, and a tiny cooler with some moist aromatherapy towels, perfect to refresh your face and neck at the end of your session. They also offer red light therapy for an additional fee if desired. After your sweat, head to the women's or men's restroom and use the cold plunge. The plunge is fairly small, to be used by one person at a time, but is enough to fully submerge your body in the sitting position. Finally, grab a shower, stocked with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. They have a hair dryer and a few toiletry items too if you're on your way to work or just forgot something. Water bottle fill station is conveniently located by the front desk to rehydrate on your way out. Booking is a breeze online. They also offer a number of different memberships or session packages if you want to start incorporating the sauna into your routine. Guests (up to one) are also welcome to attend each session with you for an additional $10 fee. Parking is complementary in the neighboring garage for up to two hours, just be sure to check in at the front desk to get a validation code. Sudor: a hot place for cool people. Five stars!

    An amazing facility that makes you feel like a VIP with it private sauna suites that come with Bluetooth music and a TV. If you're looking to do a contrast therapy, the cold plunge is separate from the suite, in each of the men's and women's locker rooms. Locker room is a bit small, but there shouldn't be many people since they only have 10 suites, all of which fits only 2 people, with only one that fits up to 3. Towels and shampoo/body wash are provided in the locker room showers. #330

    Amazing experience at Sudor Sauna after the half marathon. The front desk was very friendly and took their time explaining the infrared sauna system. I truly enjoyed the sauna and the cold plunge. The quality of the locker room could use a little improvement (ex. Use better quality shampoo/toiletries, hair ties, makeup wipes), but everything else was great.

    Brought my girlfriend here for her birthday to get some hot and cold combination therapy. You get to go into one of their many hot saunas for up to 45 minutes. You have full control over the temperature, lights (colors), and Bluetooth. Their rooms are totally private with locking doors. Dry towels and wet Rosemary towels are provided. Water and other supplements are on sale at the front desk. Just bring your own water. You'll definitely need it! After this you can access to their gender separated bathrooms. Inside here is a small 55 degree cold plunge bath. It will shock you awake more than any cup of coffee could. This visit was a one time drop in. You can do this or become a member and pay weekly/monthly.

    I only wish there was some kind of ambient lighting in the tub/over the tub. Otherwise, it was clean, clear and COLD!

    Such a beautiful place! There are other saunas, but Sudor is just luxurious and gorgeous. I love the simple, modern, natural aesthetic. I'm so glad to have added this to my weekly routine. It's a great way to recover after a good workout, a rough week at work, or just to find your center and rebalance. Bring water, preferably with electrolytes. You're gonna sweat! They have a filtered water station and have electrolytes available for purchase, along with other accoutrements to enhance your visit. This is my fourth time here. I purchased a massage oil at the front desk to work out some of the kinks in my sore muscles. Such an ideal time for massage (during infrared therapy). It's relatively quiet in the rooms, but be mindful of others. There's a TV in each room and you can log in to your streaming service and catch up on your shows. You can blue tooth in and listen to your latest pod or just some relaxing tunes. You're in full control of lighting, temp, and time (you have 45min each session). On my second visit, I alternated between the sauna (11min) and cold plunge (3min) (about 3 cycles). There are rosemary/eucalyptus/lavender (?) scented, chilled towels in a mini-fridge in each room if you need to cool off. It's so refreshing and smells soooo gooood! On the days I Sudor, I feel like i have a great sleep that night. It really sets me up for a good week, or helps me recover from a crazy one! My only gripe is I wish there was better lighting above/in the cold plunge. Is it a deal-breaker? No. It would just be cool! Showers are clean and shampoo/conditioner/body wash are provided if you prefer. I love the natural scent of their products. Plastic baggies are available for your dirty clothes/wet clothes. Towels are also provided within the sauna and in the locker room (limit 2). There are basic toiletries available too! It's such a relaxing environment. I can't wait to bring my husband for a visit.

    My partner and I came in for the Valentine's package, which included the steam room, hammam,…read morefacial, shampoo, and body mask. This was our first time doing a hammam and we were thoroughly impressed. The staff were very warm and professional from the moment we entered and the facilities were clean and welcoming. Our masseuses, Jessica and Alicia, were firm but gentle, making sure that every part of our bodies were treated with care. Our experience ended with some delicious Moroccan tea and baklava treats. Our skin felt so smooth and we felt so refreshed afterwards. It was a unique experience different from any other massage we've had before. Would definitely consider coming back and recommend to anyone looking to try a new type of massage!

    TLDR: Yes, yes. A thousand times, yes…read more In advance of our trip to Houston, I started watching food reviewers to get ideas of where to eat. That shifted my IG algorithm to include things to do...and I've never been happier. I saw a video depicting their Hammam treatment where you hang out in steam, they soap you up, and then exfoliate you. Never done it, asked the wife, and I booked it. Glad we did, phenomenal experience. Detailed step by step of our experience to help the uninitiated know what to expect. 1. Online booking. Simple, fast, requires 20% deposit. 10/10. 2. Confirmation text to check if I needed to reschedule. 10/10. 3. We arrived 10 minutes early. Front door was locked but the desk attendant let us in quickly and relocked the door. Considering the level of undress we were about to be in, 100% on board with that. 10/10. 4. Check in and sit in these awesome high-back padded chairs while we wait. 10/10. 5. Quickly greeted by the staff who will be providing our treatment and led to a small changing room. There they instruct us to strip down and put on disposable underwear, a nice robe, and slide on sandals. I'm a big guy, so they switched out the 3 items for bigger versions. I was happily surprised they had a 4XL robe and sandals to fit my size 16 feet. The paper underwear was made of the same material as a dentist bib/disposable surgical gown, and covered what boxers would cover-down to mid/lower thigh. Wife's paper undies were more like a string bikini bottom. We were not quite sure what to expect, but it provided for an appropriate level of modesty. The room contained multiple lockers with keys so that we were able to secure our belongings. 10/10. 6. We were then led to a steamy room, removed our robes, and carefully helped up onto the padded platforms. Once seated we were rinsed with warm water and soaped up. Then they got us bottled water (cold or room temperature, our choice) and left us to steam in the the 103°F room. Sweat, sweat, sweat. They checked in a couple of times to make sure we were okay, which I appreciated. That steam was no joke. 10/10. 7. After maybe 10-15 minutes, we moved into another room that looked identical, rubber mats on elevated platforms. But this time we laid down and the treatments started. Warm water poured over body, light scrubbing of face, and some treatment painted on my face. Then it was really same thing over and over with different parts of the body. Pour water, scrub with the mits, and exfoliate years of dead skin. Years. 10/10. 8. The women who provided our treatments were great, social in response to our talking but not trying to talk the whole time. Gotta love that with any kind of spa treatment, let the client decide the talking level. At some point, she rinsed off the face treatment and scrubbed my face a little more. 10/10. 9. So they keep doing their thing, having us move arms, tilt neck, roll on side, etc., so that they can get to all of our parts. We'll, most. Going back to the distinct differences in our disposable underwear, wife got way more of her upper legs/buttocks scrubbed. My scrubbing stopped just above the knee and resumed above the waste. And honestly, I get why-guys can be/are creeps. It did leave, however, a large area of me unexfoliated. 9/10. 10. After that, had us sit up, more water pouring to rinse off the dead skin and touching up spots that needed a little more scrubbing. Once rinsed and cleaned, got a scalp treatment/shampooing. Nice touch. 10/10. 11. They helped us put our robes back on and we were led to our changing room were they did a rose water spritz and argon oil serum face treatment. We were then left alone to get dressed. 10/10. 12. Ended the experience in the Tea Room where we enjoyed wonderful hot Moroccan tea and some baklava. What a wonderful treat! Thanks for reading my novel. Hopefully it covered questions you might have if you have never had this experience before. We thought it was fantastic, and it is going on our growing list of "must-dos" when visiting Houston.

This is a great place to do either. The first hour and a half in the men's area rotating between the steam room, sauna hot tub and cold plunge, losing track of the time and just soaking it. The sauna and the steam room each held around 5 to 7 people, respectively. Fortunately I didn't need to push the capacity limits since the crowd was extremely light, especially for for a weekend. I strolled around and checked out the other rooms and the bulgama room was scorching hot, in the best possible way. Broken up into two different dome spaces - one hot and the other extremely hot with a fireplace- that had the cozy smell of burning wood. A fantastic sensory experience. I popped by the restaurant and the Bulgogi stew was delicious. Prices were comparable to being outside of the spa, and the quality was just as good. The food came out piping hot with a little kimchi and some potatoes and a small bowl of rice on the side. I have been to more than a handful of Korean Spas and the features that make this one stand out are: Clean smells- sounds strange to have to say this but Gangnam was clean but didn't smell like cleaning products. Each space had a unique scent based on the desired effect - cedar, burning wood, eucalyptus, etc. Comfortable uniforms - woven, soft terry cloth sets that breathed well and were easy to move in. Unique experiences in small niches- hand spa to massage your hands, foot spa with a pebble bottomed pool, plenty of lounge spaces, vibrating plates for muscle activation or relaxation, I honestly didn't have time to do it all. The staff = top notch. Friendly front desk crew gave a great first impression. The superstar was the gal who helped me decide on a tasty dish in the restaurant, providing great descriptions for all of the choices. After 4 full hours, I needed to go to my next meeting and had to leave. Nevertheless I left feeling relaxed and satisfied. Verdict: Check it out but be sure to give yourself at least 4 hours.

And this is why the rating drops to THREE STARS However, the spa's current approach to cell phone use raises serious privacy and safety concerns. Multiple guests were openly using their phones in treatment areas and even inside the locker rooms -- including taking photos and videos in spaces where individuals are undressed. Locker rooms are universally recognized as places where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and recording in these areas can violate that expectation, regardless of intent. Allowing phones in environments where guests are changing creates a real risk of non‑consensual photography or video, which can have legal implications and exposes patrons to harm. Businesses that operate locker rooms and similar facilities typically have a duty of care to protect guests from exactly this type of privacy intrusion. I strongly encourage the spa to implement and enforce a comprehensive no‑phone policy throughout all treatment and locker room areas. A spa should be a place where guests feel safe, respected, and able to relax without worrying about being filmed or photographed in private spaces. PLEASE KEEP this SPA classy, with privacy rules and keep the ghetto out the door!

    Perspire is one of Houston's newer infrared sauna studios located just off of the corner of…read moreWashington Ave and Shepherd. The company actually has multiple locations all across the United States but this is their first Houston location. Inside they have a total of 8 suites with room 3 being their largest and fit for ADA accommodation. Each private room has a spacious glass sided sauna with temperature and time control, towels, and a TV. Temperature settings go up to 175F but I personally like to leave it around 165F. Sessions last for 40 minutes, controlled by the guest. Red light therapy is included with every session for free which is a nice addition since many studios charge for this as an add-on. Chromotherapy (colored lights) is also included for free. While the TV is available, it is limited to a few preset generic company meditation or jazz music videos unless you have a membership, when they will let you change it to a streaming service. My room was very clean and the sauna itself felt large, enough to easily spread out. Sounds like a great experience, right? Why three stars then? There are no showers or changing facilities. There is only one unisex restroom for the entire studio with absolutely no counter space. After profusely sweating for close to an hour, there is nothing better than a cold shower and clean, dry set of clothes but unfortunately this is not possible. Sure, guests could easily change in their own private sauna room, at least into some fresh clothes, but this is really a downfall of the studio. A couple of operational notes: a water bottle refilling station is available at the front (definitely bring a large bottle!), parking is free in the attached garage however be sure to register your car with the QRC and use the promo code to get free parking. I imagine that they would quickly ticket and/or tow. Scheduling online is super easy through their website. Finally, their membership rates are lower (just $79 for 4 visits a month) than some of the other sauna studios that I have seen in the area so that is definitely a draw if you're willing to drive home sweaty. New guests can try a session for just $20. Overall, sauna studios are an experience that I really enjoy so I might consider purchasing a very basic membership since it is pretty inexpensive, can easily be paused, and credits roll over month to month, however I am definitely disappointed in the lack of showers and changing facilities.

    I was introduced to infrared sauna by a good friend of mine. She shared one of her sessions with me…read morelast summer, and afterwards, I decided to purchase a membership for 2x/month for $59. Sad to say, but I haven't quite used all the sessions since. They do roll over, but I believe 2 earned in that month expire every 90 days. You can also pause membership for about 2 months if you need to use up your sessions if you plan to cancel. You lose it if you don't use it. I like the idea of the private rooms with a glass-framed sauna. You can watch Netflix or other streaming or listen to meditative/relaxing music to pass the 40 minutes. They never rush you, even if you may be running late. In the room, you have the availability to change the temperature. Not sure what it goes up to, but I've seen 170 degrees. I usually do about 150-160 degrees. Sometimes mid 160s. Since it's infrared, it gets progressively hot. Your internal body temperature slowly builds up. You can also change the settings for relaxation, detox, energy, etc. There's a body, face and floor towel for you. At the end, there's a cool, wet eucalyptus face towel for you to cool off. Wear loose clothing after cause you'll continue to sweat after your session. It's recommended to hydrate prior plus have a small meal. I agree cause the heat can make you feel a little lightheaded. I bring a water bottle with me and sometimes fill it with Liquid IV. Drop your towels at the towel drop. The staff is friendly. You can book a session online or by phone. If you need to cancel, you have to call. There's a parking garage which you can park in using the code to get 2 free hours. You didn't always have to scan the QR code to pay, but that has since changed. I'm glad Perspire customers get free parking with the code. The hours are deceiving when you look on Yelp or do a Google search. They are actually open at 9 am on Saturday, not 8 am. Got there early once Saturday, and the door was still locked. If your session is at 9:05 am on the weekend, just know they open at 9 am. Weekdays you can start as early as 7 am and do evening ones past 8 pm. It's pretty relaxing. I've done it in the mornings and evenings. It does either boost your day or help you sleep at night. There's a bigger suite that could be used for couples, I think. Or maybe a mini ladies detox party for a small group of 3? Not sure how many can fit in it or if that's allowed, but it is bigger than the other 7 suits. They also sell some merch and juices. If you're into saunas, I recommend this infrared sauna. I use my apartment's gym, so this is nice to have. I like that it's less than 10 minutes from me. It's also great after a long day at work.

Unless you're buying add-ons, the place is mostly saunas, one cold room, and the gender specific bath houses. We walked around the whole place but couldn't find the outside terrace area, even after consulting a map of the place. The ocher bead sauna was my fav. The fire room is unbearably hot. They don't allow shoes in the spa areas but I think they need to make an exception for that room. They have rugs all over the floor and layered ontop of each other in there and it still doesn't make a difference. I became stuck in there because the floor was so hot it was burning my feet. I was standing on a super thin towel I brought in with me. I had to call for my husband to bring me another towel so I could make a makeshift pathway to the door so I could get out. Consider yourself warned. It feels in there what I assume being on fire might feel like at its beginning stages. The food looked nice but some of it was wildly expensive. $8-9 for one coffee? $4-6 for a hot tea? Ehh, I passed. I enjoyed the bath house/locker room area. The showers were nice, lots of diff pools to chose from that each served different purposes, the wrap around mirrors, body lotion, hair dryers, etc... it was great! They even had attendants in there where you could buy items or services from them. I saw many girls buying face masks. It was very zen in there. I spent a solid amount of time in there getting ready bc I had a fancy dinner with my husband afterwards so I used all the space and amenities to get ready :) Oh forgot to mention - check Groupon. We got our tickets at a discounted rate. Front desk ppl were nice and explained things thoroughly and easily.

While the pools were still warm, they were not at their normal temperatures, and the showers were also affected. As a result, they offered a 15% discount on the day pass. When you arrive, you must remove your shoes and place them in a locker before you can check-in. After check-in, you will receive a locker key that matches your shoe key and an outfit for the common areas. Since this is a traditional Korean spa, the locker rooms and soaking areas are gender-segregated and nude-only, and phones are strictly prohibited in these areas. The facilities were clean and well-maintained. The locker room includes a concierge for scheduling services and a kiosk for essentials like socks and face masks. Before entering the bathhouse area, you must take a shower. The bathhouse features four hot tubs, a cold plunge tub, a dry sauna and steam room. One of the hot tubs and the steam room had a herbal infusion blend. The common area downstairs offered six different dry saunas, one cold room and a quiet zone for reading or napping. There is also a snack bar, daycare center and a sitting area. Upstairs they had additional amenities including an infrared room, two meditation rooms, a movie theater, virtual golf, and a bar. I spent four hours here and left feeling incredibly relaxed. If you are ever in the Houston area and looking to decompress, I highly recommend stopping by SpaWorld.
