“The classes are amazing, the health benefits – amazing, aesthetic – amazing, the super-human-like ability to regular my own body temperature at will that I somehow have now is all amazing… but honestly it’s the #1 thing is the community, everyone is so welcoming, full of healthy energy and vibrancy.”

"Every time I go it's a bit different. I'm able to consistently challenge myself and further my own practice within the Free Flow. I have found a beautiful length of time through the hot + cold that works for me. Everyone's journey is a bit different + I love getting the chance to learn about what that might be for someone else through chatting in the sauna or sipping on a tea."

"I can't really pinpoint my favourite part of the experience because the WHOLE experience is what makes Othership so unique and special. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed by the friendly staff. The immaculate vibes make you feel like you're in a giant treehouse in Bali. I leave each session feeling zen, refreshed, and ready to take on whatever is ahead of me."

"When I learned about the benefits of cold exposure, I knew I wanted to try it out. I was instantly hooked. And then when Othership arrived and knew I would be able to make it a regular practice while adding the benefit of the sauna. Beyond the physical benefits, it has helped with my mental health. It keeps me immediately in the present moment and keeps the stress away hours and days after a session."

Kind words from those onboard

feels like an hour of therapy both physically and mentally

Othership is an absolute GEM and must visit. This experience is for everyone - feels like an hour of therapy both physically and mentally.  From the moment you walk in the door you feel the calming healing vibes and the sense of community. Try a guided class to start so you have the support to get through cold immersion and last in the sauna! Odeta is my favourite instructor. I would do this daily if I could!

guidance through the sauna and ice bath just made for such a magical time

This was my first time with an experience like this and it was phenomenal! Everyone was so friendly. They even have a signature scent which I absolutely love. The guidance through the sauna and ice bath just made for such a magical time. It was invigorating and the support of others when I got out of the ice bath was amazing. My skin also feels so good and I cannot express enough how energizing and restorative this was

Tamara Fox
beautiful combination of tradition and evidence-informed practice

Othership is a welcome addition to Toronto. There is a beautiful combination of tradition and evidence-informed practice here.
I felt welcomed into the already burgeoning community as soon as I stepped in.The sauna and cold plunge sessions were both expertly guided. The space is beautiful and the experience otherworldly.I walked out onto Adelaide Street West with a feeling of calm, quiet energy. Can't wait to go back.

an amazing experience for the mind, body and soul

What an amazing experience for the mind, body and soul. I recently went with our entire team, we had a fantastic guided sauna experience followed by cold bath and down time. The staff are extremely welcoming, the space is clean, smells amazing, and staff are very knowledgeable in the benefits of their services. Cannot wait to go back!

every inch of the space has been thoughtfully designed to create a place of complete zen

What an amazing experience. From the moment you walk in until you leave.  Every inch of the space has been thoughtfully designed to create a place of complete zen.  

After melting away every ounce of worry in the sauna you take a nice rinse in the showers before stepping into the ice cold tubs.  The experience leaves you feeling light and with a newfound clarity in your body mind and soul.

Nat Kam
an oasis for tranquility while pushing our boundaries

What an incredible experience! Othership is an oasis for tranquility while pushing our boundaries, mentally and physically. The place is so well planned with very soothing esthetics, music and lights. It made us feel so calm and connected. And then of course, their top notch cold baths and sauna, which exceeded our expectations.

you come out feeling refreshed like you just hit the reset button

Wow! It's not just any other sauna. It's a tastefully done experience that's one of a kind. Sauna Master Thomas takes you on a journey of the 7 senses (Sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell, movement & body). Thomas gives quite the performance like a Matador and his red flag to a bull while coaching you through mind, body and spirit. You come out feeling refreshed like you just hit the reset button. Everyone there is all about good vibes and energy.

favourite place to unwind, discover, and meet like minded individuals

Othership has quickly become my favourite place to unwind, discover, and meet like minded individuals. I just love it so much! As someone who is very active, I surprisingly had never done a cold plunge before visiting and now I’m hooked. Guided classes and socials are great, it’s beautifully designed, and the staff are so friendly. Go with an open mind and heart and you won’t regret it.

this place is my escape for when life gets too overwhelming.

I highly recommend this place for anyone considering it. I've been bringing a lot of my friends to experience how wonderful this place is! This place is my escape for when life gets too overwhelming. On the days when life feels like a lot of effort, my body feels heavy, and I'm mentally foggy, I come here and it's as if my body resets and I'm a new person. The staff is wonderful. The atmosphere is wonderful. The scents, the ambience, the tea, the people that come here.. ALL OF IT! If you're thinking about it, just do it.
