An experience one must try atleast once! I did the sauna and cold plunge session and it definitely calmed down my nervous system. I’ll be coming back regularly and recommending it to anyone looking to invest in their well-being!
My first visit to Othership (free flow guide) was an amazing experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back. The front desk staff clearly explained everything, including the check-in process, changing rooms, and how everything works. As a first-timer, it was very reassuring to know I could ask questions at any time. The guided sauna and ice bath experience was outstanding. Before my first ice bath, one of the staff patiently walked me through what to expect, coached my breathing the entire time, and used tuning forks and other calming sound instruments to help me stay focused and relaxed. Her guidance made me feel completely safe and confident. I also really appreciated the little details. There are complimentary paper cups, hot and cold water, and three different types of tea available. Having a cup of tea after an ice bath was incredibly relaxing, and you can even bring your tea into the sauna, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Everything was incredibly professional from start to finish. My first experience couldn’t have gone any better, and now I understand why so many people keep coming back. I’ll definitely be a regular. Looking forward to my next visit!
I can’t say enough good things about Othership Yorkville. What started as curiosity has turned into a genuinely transformative part of my routine. The combination of breathwork, sauna, and cold exposure has had a noticeable impact on both my mental clarity and physical recovery especially with the strain that comes from staying active. What really sets this location apart, though, is the team. The Yorkville staff consistently go above and beyond. Every interaction feels thoughtful and intentional they take the time to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure you’re getting the most out of each session. One experience that really stood out: I was trying to book a session for a friend, and even though my credits technically didn’t apply for guest bookings, the team stepped in and made it happen. That level of flexibility and customer care is rare, and it meant a lot. It also gave me the chance to introduce someone else to something that’s had a real positive impact on my life. This is the kind of place that earns loyalty. I’ll be coming back regularly and recommending it to anyone looking to invest in their well-being!
Really cool experience! I just feel it would be great to have more instruction for first timers. I found myself really lost at some points. But enjoyed most of it! Super nice! I participated in the Elements class.
★★★★☆ Othership is a really solid experience and definitely stands out if you’re into sauna and cold plunge culture. The space is beautifully designed, clean, and thoughtfully laid out, and the overall energy is calm but motivating at the same time. The guided breathwork and sauna sessions are engaging and well run, and the hot–cold circuit feels both challenging and rewarding. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, helping set the tone without being overbearing. The only reason it’s not a full five stars is that peak times can feel a bit crowded, which slightly takes away from the immersion. That said, it’s still a great reset for both body and mind, and well worth checking out.
