Sauna Sessions

Sauna Sessions

Coinciding with Medina’s beloved Ale in Autumn, guests are invited to enjoy the experience of a wood-heated sauna at The Hub. Red Hot Sauna has transformed an iconic fire truck into a mobile sauna that blends American history with Nordic ritual. Stripped of its original fittings and rebuilt with craftsmanship, the truck now holds a cedar interior and wood-burning stove, recreating the atmosphere of a traditional sauna.

In Baltic and Nordic culture, saunas have long been more than a place to bathe—they served as kitchens, clinics, temples, and communal shelters open to both friends and strangers. Today, sauna bathing is also recognized as a form of whole-body thermotherapy, easing pain and supporting well-being.

Sessions must be booked in advance with a suggested donation of $30. Each session will have only eight guests.

Sauna Session: What to Know Before You Go

• Stay hydrated – Drink water before and after your session. Please bring a water bottle with you.
• Eat light – Avoid eating a heavy meal 1–2 hours before your session.
• Wear a bathing suit – Required for all guests. Please also bring a towel to sit on.
• Leave the extras at home – No jewelry (it can get hot!), lotions, makeup, perfumes, or essential oils. These can interfere with the sauna and stain the wood.
• Come prepared – Arrive 15 minutes early to check in, change, and get settled.
• Know your limits – Sessions are limited to 90 minutes at a time. Take breaks as needed, and step out if you feel lightheaded or unwell.
• Age policy – Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• Respect the space – Be mindful of other guests, staff, and the sauna itself. Disrespectful behavior means you may be asked to leave without a refund.
• What not to bring – No food, alcohol, drugs, glass, sharp objects, or flammables.
• Health & safety – If you are pregnant, on medication, or have any health concerns, please consult your physician before joining. Guests with open wounds may not enter the sauna.
