Our Sauna Story
Born from a Love of Warmth and Community
- It all started in 2012, when our founder, Mark Johnson, came back from a trip to Finland with more than just a suitcase full of memories—he brought home a realization that would shape the next decade of his life. After spending weeks immersed in the Finnish tradition of sauna, where wooden rooms filled with steam weren’t just a luxury, but a cornerstone of connection (families gathering after work, friends sharing stories over cold drinks post-sauna), he couldn’t help but notice a gap back home in the U.S.
- At the time, most saunas available stateside were either overpriced imports that felt disconnected from American homes, or flimsy, one-size-fits-all models that sacrificed quality for convenience. “I kept thinking: Why can’t we have saunas that honor the timeless comfort of traditional designs, but are built for how we actually live here?” Mark recalls. That question became the spark for [Your Company Name]—a brand dedicated to crafting saunas that feel like a natural extension of American homes, not an afterthought.
- From day one, we set two non-negotiable rules: every sauna must be built to last, and every sauna must deliver that authentic, enveloping warmth that makes a sauna session feel like a retreat. We started small, operating out of a 1,200-square-foot workshop in Minnesota (a state that knows a thing or two about needing cozy escapes in winter). Our first prototype was tested by neighbors, local athletes, and even the town’s high school football coach—all of whom gave us unfiltered feedback that shaped our first production line.
Built for Community, Loved by Thousands
- What followed was a testament to what happens when you build for your community. Our first major order came from a local gym in Minneapolis, which wanted saunas that could stand up to daily use by athletes and members alike. Six months later, the gym owner told us, “We’ve had more members sign up just because they heard we have your saunas—people love how solid they feel, and how the steam doesn’t get too harsh.” Word spread, and soon we were fulfilling orders for families in Wisconsin, ski resorts in Colorado, and even corporate wellness centers in Texas.
- Today, our saunas are in tens of thousands of American homes and businesses—and the feedback we’re proudest of still comes from everyday people. A farmer in Iowa wrote to tell us his [Your Company Name] sauna is “the only place I can unwind after a long day in the fields.” A teacher in Oregon shared that her family now uses their sauna as a “no-phones zone” where her teens actually talk to her. And we’re honored to be recognized by local organizations too—named “Best Home Wellness Product” three years running by the Midwest Home & Living Awards, and handpicked by the National Fitness Association as their recommended sauna brand for member facilities.
Growth With Care: Quality That Lasts
- We’ve grown since that small Minnesota workshop—now with a team of 45 craftspeople and a state-of-the-art facility—but our core hasn’t changed. We still test every new design with local families and businesses before it hits the market. We still source our cedar from sustainable forests in the Pacific Northwest, because we believe a good sauna should be kind to both its users and the planet. And we still answer the phone ourselves when customers call—because Mark’s original belief still holds: a sauna isn’t just a product, it’s a place where memories are made.
- Whether you’re looking for a compact sauna for your apartment in Chicago, a family-sized model for your backyard in Arizona, or a commercial setup for your gym in Miami—we’re here to build something that fits your life. Because at [Your Company Name], we don’t just sell saunas. We sell warmth, connection, and a little piece of retreat right where you live.
