The temps vary as to be expected but I like that they have varying levels of heat to choose from. I also like that the cold plunge is not below 40 degrees...it's healthier for women to be more around 50 degrees so it's basically in the middle which is perfect. The aesthetics here are gorgeous and calming...love it.

First time with a sauna experience like this. I've used saunas at some hotels, but only on rare…read moreoccasions, and nothing quite as immersive (no pun intended) as this. What better way to reinvigorate yourself than with a nice sauna. I was in town and hanging out with my older son. It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We arrived first thing in the morning. There were already several other people there. After signing the waivers and giving our contact info, we got suited up to go inside the sauna area. The place is well designed, spacious, with some chill music playing. There are three saunas, hot, hotter, and a wood one outdoors. There is also a plunge pool inside. The first thing I noticed is that most people there are outwardly friendly. And you quickly realize that you are now part of the Thermoculture. People are polite, interested in your experience, and eager to help you onboard. When they suggested that a trip through the plunge pool would do me good, I was sure that was never going to happen and said so. But in the next hour, I did the sauna rotation while also including the plunge pool, walking from one end to the other. Maybe next time I will actually take the plunge and go all the way under. My one disappointment and criticism is that the wood fired sauna never got hot enough for actual use. Perhaps they need to start the fire sooner so it gets up to temperature for early morning customers. Maybe next time!

After Nordic skiing for 10 years & having skis stolen, I am grateful I could really upgrade.

Thank you for your expertise, waxing, waxing clinics, safety, and great service on off hours. I'd never intend to buy all of this during your busy time. Thank you for taking the time with me & I feel I have most definitely the best skis I've had since beginning the journey in this sport.

Embrace North is a mixed bag for me. I had a subscription for around three and a half months and I…read morecan say it has its ups and downs. Some of the positives are the community. I met so many interesting people here and it can be really fun. It is also pretty inclusive and I met a wide range of people from different ages and backgrounds. The hot sauna is also really nice and relaxing. Some of the cons are the availability. This place can get very packed and the slots book up super fast. It can be frustrating because there were times when it felt impossible to get in since everything was fully reserved a week in advance. Considering it is almost forty bucks a month it is reasonable, but if you can only make certain times that never line up, you end up feeling like why do I even have this membership. Another issue is the cleanliness of the ice tubs. I noticed many times that the tubs looked a bit dirty on the inside. When I say dirty, I mean kind of gross, maybe even unhygienic. At the beginning of every month they do a full deep clean, which I really appreciate, and right after that the tubs look pretty good. But as the weeks go on they get dirtier, probably because of the heavy traffic. This bothered me because when I go in for a cold plunge and see skin flakes, hair, or random stuff floating in the water, it makes the experience unpleasant. I also got some acne on my back during the time I was going here, especially when I was doing the cold plunge often. Now that I have not gone for a couple months the acne has fully disappeared. I am sure they have a chlorine and cleaning system, but I think the tubs need to be cleaned more often. The cold plunge setup itself is cool though and I did enjoy using it as far as the temperature experience goes. They have three main saunas inside the building. One is the quiet sauna, but it does not stay that quiet since it is between the two louder saunas. I wish they had a better way of keeping it quiet. The other two are a smaller sauna facing the tubs and a large one in the back. All of them get pretty hot which I really appreciate and they smell really good. I am not sure if it is essential oils or something else, but the scent is relaxing. They have a changing room, a bathroom, and lockers for your stuff. The service is OK. Some of the employees seemed like they did not want to be working, at least during my visits, while others were super nice and outgoing. It seems like it depends on the day, but you do not interact with the staff that much anyway so it is not a huge factor. They charge you if you want to use one of their towels, but I recommend bringing your own. They have quick showers to rinse off, and I almost wish people used them more considering you are going from a hot sauna straight into the ice bath. Sometimes it feels like people just jump between everything without rinsing, which is kind of gross. I am not sure how they can fix this without staff stepping in. I recommend trying Embrace North for at least a month. If it is not for you, it is forty bucks and you probably will still get some good use out of it.

This place used to be a favorite, but the handling of a serious safety concern has been deeply…read moredisappointing. A visitor whose behavior multiple guests have experienced as predatory and harassing was reported, and staff stated they would take action and launch an investigation. Despite that, the individual continues to return. After giving the business another chance based on those assurances, I've seen no meaningful change. The result is a space that feels increasingly unsafe and poorly managed when it comes to guest conduct. At this point, the stated commitment to addressing harassment does not appear to match reality. It feels like profit is being prioritized over the basic responsibility of maintaining a safe environment for visitors.
