Picture a cedar-planked room, filled with inviting warmth, the gentle crackle of water hitting smooth stones. Imagine stepping from that blissful heat into the exhilarating shock of a cold plunge pool. Framework is a sensory experience that's refreshing beyond the obvious—it’s a catalyst for new connections. With ourselves. With friends old and new. And with our colleagues.

01

Date night refresh

Shed the layers of daily life. Face something new, together. It's not your typical dinner and a movie, but that's the point. No screen-time, restoration, and the opportunity to connect on a deeper level hit some major marks—not to mention shared challenges support relationship building.

 

02

The new networking

Stuffy card-swap meet-ups. Bland luncheons. Think again. The sauna and plunge studio is a great leveling field—it’s a change of pace from the bar circuit, leaving space for candid conversations. “I often say, ‘make your business deal here, man,’” cybersecurity consultant Bob Soulliere told the Wall Street Journal in an article that coined cold plunge as the ‘hot new way to do business. “You get a better deal. People’s hearts are more open, and they’re more receptive.”

Supercharged bachelorette & bachelor parties

Sweat it out, clear your mind, and keep the spirit high in the cold the morning after your night out with the crew. Or ditch the day-drinking and spa-time for a group activity designed to be equal-parts rewarding as it is restful. Built to accommodate larger groups with ease, at Framework building a foundation for your health means having the space to have fun—even if you’re in recovery-mode, too.And if you’re looking to make the experience extra special? Add a private guided session with our trainers or teacher partners.

 

04

True team building

"Zoom fatigue" is a very real thing. Trading screen-time or trust-fall-time for steam-time (or an invigorating dip) is a refreshing way to foster camaraderie. Our traditional sauna holds space for 10 guests at once, which means you and your colleagues can brace the hot and cold together. And take to our plunge pools for a shared challenge and shared reward. Follow-up your group session with a trainer or teacher-led yoga work-out or breathing exercise to come out on the other side more equipped to tackle whatever the day holds.
