Every Friday Sweat & Steam: Afternoon Gym & Sauna Session

Ready to crush your fitness goals and actually enjoy the process? Join us for an afternoon of lifting, relaxing, and connecting!
I’ve found that hitting the iron and then hitting the sauna is an incredible way to de-stress and build much more meaningful connections than standard small talk. If you find working out alone a bit tedious, this is a solid way for us all to stay fit and healthy while making the "boring" parts of exercise way more fun.

### Why You Should Join Us

• Physical Health: Build strength during the hour-long workout and boost your cardiovascular health.
• Active Recovery: Heat therapy in the sauna (or a light swim) helps relax tight muscles, reduces soreness, and flushes out toxins after a good sweat session.
• Mental Well-being: Both exercise and sauna sessions release endorphins, making this the ultimate combo to melt away workday stress.
• Real Connections: Shared challenges in the gym followed by relaxed, screen-free downtime in the sauna naturally leads to great conversations and genuine friendships.

### The Game Plan

We are keeping things simple, structured, and easy to follow:

• 4:00 PM – Meet & Lift: We’ll meet in the weight room and hit the iron. Whether you are following your own program or want a spotter, we'll get a solid 1-hour workout in.
• 5:00 PM – Sweat & Swim: We will transition to the pool area. You have 20 minutes to bake in the sauna, do some light laps in the pool, or just relax in the water.
• 5:20 PM – 5:30 PM – Wrap Up: Time to hit the showers, change, and head out feeling refreshed and energized for the rest of the evening.
