Schvitz Health Club

"I remember the first few months of women’s only hours it reminded me of being at the YMCA in New York. Women of all ages, all comfortable in their own skin. I also grew up bathing in the sauna with my grandmother and my sister, so this kind of communal sauna felt familiar to me. There were definitely elders whose practice and comfort in the space informed my own. Of course it wasn’t until I decided to try a co-ed Monday after a hard day when the most memorable encounter occurred. I remember carrying a pack of Parliaments and a copy of Harper’s magazine into the smoking lounge, tucking into a corner seat under the stained glass, thinking it’d be the same near-silent reading space I experienced on Sundays and Tuesdays. Moments later, two regulars walked in, & that’s a conversation that still hasn’t ended."

Since establishing the Little Schvitz just over a year ago, we've noticed a consistent trend: it's booked almost every weekend, which is great, but it goes completely unused midweek. We also realize that the Big Schvitz is gender separate every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So starting this month, we're going to host midweek public hours at the Little Schvitz that juxtapose the schedule at the Big Schvitz. Each day will be separated into two 3-hour reservation blocks, so we can keep the numbers down and make sure everyone is really comfortable. (We'll share the reservation booking site as soon as it's available).

Each Little Schvitz visit will be $40 and include robe, towels, and hot tea. Spa services, snacks, etc. will also be available. If demand is high enough, we might also bring back some of our favorite local pop-ups so guests can enjoy a delicious dinner as part of the experience. Don't be surprised to see our friends popping up from time to time as well.

For those who haven't been, the Little Schvitz is located on the same side of Oakland Ave, just 2 blocks north of the main club. It has a really nice sauna, cold plunge, outdoor shower, greenhouse lounge, spacious yard, 2 beautiful bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a massage room, and plenty of places to relax and hang with friends. Also 3 bedrooms and a sleeping loft. It will still be available for private parties and overnight stays Friday through Monday, which has been its main purpose all along (booking link in bio). As always, we appreciate everyone's support as we do our best to keep the Schvitz community alive and well. Long Live The Schvitz.
