THE PLAN
We’ve decided what the first club should include and started the early design work.
CURRENT STATUS:
SEARCHING FOR
THE RIGHT SPOT.
LOCATION SEARCH
WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR.
We know what we want to build. We just need the site.
The concept couldn't be clearer, but the challenge is finding the right space that:
- Has enough outdoor space for a comfortable courtyard
- Is in the right location, easily reachable by foot, bike, and car
- Doesn't require a full renovation and multi-year buildout
We're looking primarily at intown neighborhoods for our first location, including Inman Park, Edgewood, Candler Park, Kirkwood, and Grant Park. We need to find the spot that meets our criteria without blowing the budget. Easier said than done.
THE ROAD TO OPENING

We’re working with some of the nation’s top builders of saunas and cold plunges to ensure the temperatures are dialed and the experience is exceptional.

We’ll test the space, host founding previews, train the team, and open the doors.
HOW ATLANTA SAUNA CLUB STARTED
BUILDING
THE CLUB
Atlanta Sauna Club started with a visit to an Estonian bathhouse and a simple question: Why don't we have this in Atlanta?
From there, the idea and passion for sauna and plunge wouldn't go away, and Atlanta Sauna Club was born.
The club was founded by Marcus Budline, an Atlanta-based entrepreneur who began his career at the Atlanta Track Club and has seen the power health and wellness can have in shaping community. Marcus has lived in Atlanta for 10 years across many of the city's Beltline-adjacent neighborhoods and has been looking for an opportunity to build a unique, communal business.
