Dry Sauna in Hermitage, TN
Step into a quiet, dry-heat environment after your workout at Hermitage Fitness. Our dry sauna gives members and eligible visitors a comfortable place to slow down, relax, and finish their gym visit at a more gradual pace.
Use the sauna after strength training, cardio, an indoor-track session, group fitness, or time in the heated pool. It is an optional relaxation amenity—not a required part of exercise or a medical treatment.

Why Members Use the Dry Sauna
Members use the sauna for different reasons. Some enjoy the warmth after training, some appreciate a few quiet minutes before heading home, and others prefer dry heat over a steam-filled room.
A Calm Transition
The sauna gives you a place to pause between the end of your workout and the rest of your day instead of leaving immediately.
Dry-Heat Comfort
Members who prefer less humidity may choose the dry sauna instead of the steam room.
Quiet Time
Use the room for a few peaceful minutes while respecting the comfort, space, and preferences of other members.
Part of a Full Amenity Area
The dry sauna complements the heated pool, hot tub, steam room, and cold plunge available during staffed amenity hours.
Room for a Few People
The sauna can comfortably accommodate a small number of users, making it suitable for quiet individual use or sharing the space respectfully.
Before, during, and after
A Simple Dry-Sauna Routine
1
Prepare
Bring water and a clean towel to sit on. Review posted instructions and ask the front desk about current sauna procedures before your first visit.
2
Start Briefly
Begin with a shorter session rather than trying to remain inside for a specific amount of time. Leave before the heat becomes uncomfortable.
3
Cool Down Gradually
Exit carefully, drink water, and allow your body temperature to return toward normal before using another heat-based amenity.
Two different heat experiences
Dry Sauna vs. Steam Room
Hermitage Fitness offers both a dry sauna and a steam room. The main difference is the amount of moisture in the air, so members can choose the environment they find more comfortable.
Dry Sauna
Uses dry heat with lower humidity. Members often choose it when they prefer a warmer room without the heavy moisture of steam.
Steam Room
Uses a humid, steam-filled environment. Members who enjoy moisture in the air may prefer this option.

Dry-Sauna Safety and Comfort
High heat raises body temperature and can contribute to dehydration, dizziness, or overheating. Follow posted instructions, stay aware of how you feel, and leave the sauna immediately when the heat no longer feels comfortable.
Hydrate Before and After
Drink water around your sauna session, especially after exercise or other activities that cause heavy sweating.
Exit When You Feel Unwell
Leave immediately if you feel dizzy, faint, confused, nauseated, unusually weak, short of breath, or experience chest discomfort.
Avoid Alcohol and Impairment
Do not use the sauna while impaired. Alcohol and other substances can affect judgment, hydration, and recognition of overheating.
Ask a Healthcare Professional
People who are pregnant, have heart or blood-pressure concerns, take medications affected by heat, or have other medical questions should obtain appropriate professional guidance before use.
