Sessions are cheaper than at the Wedgewood-Houston flagship at $25 on weekdays and $35 at weekends, and the studio opens at 7 AM on weekdays and 8 AM at weekends.
Contrast Club
Contrast Club is a private cold plunge and sauna studio on Bandywood Drive in Green Hills, where each booking gives one group its own room with a traditional sauna and a cold plunge for a 60-minute hot-cold cycle. A single session costs $35 and session packs and unlimited memberships are also sold. The studio is small and appointment-based rather than a drop-in bathhouse.
Lolu
Lolu is a social contrast therapy space on Main Street in East Nashville built around a 40-person traditional dry sauna and a 20-person salt water cold pool, with a lounge, coffee and an outdoor area.

A private sauna and plunge suite for up to four people is also available.
