From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm smiles and a genuinely inviting atmosphere. The team at Gatherwell really knows how to make you feel at home. The sauna experience was top-notch. I could feel the stress melting away as soon as I stepped inside. But the real highlight for me was the cold plunge. Talk about invigorating! It was like a shock to the system in the best possible way, leaving me feeling refreshed and recharged. But what truly sets Gatherwell apart is the sense of community. It's not just a place to relax; it's a place to connect with others who are on similar wellness journeys. I met some incredible people and had some great conversations that added to the whole experience. If you're looking for a place to unwind, recharge, and be part of a supportive community, Gatherwell is where you want to be. I can't recommend it enough! Stay awesome and keep evolving, Dai Manuel

This was an awesome experience. It was my first time doing something like this, and it felt like an easy and affordable introduction to a new wellness practice. I'll admit I was a little nervous and wasn't sure what kind of people to expect. Would they be hardcore folks who would be annoyed by my lack of experience or judge me for only being able to plunge for 30 seconds? Would they think my mermaid swimsuit was ridiculous? Nope. The small group had varying levels of experience and everyone was super friendly and respectful of each other's space and practice. The staff were warm and inviting too. The sauna, tubs, change rooms, and seating area were so clean and tranquil. I can see the benefits of doing this regularly and I will absolutely be back to this relaxing gem in the city.

I had a good time at gatherwell and enjoyed my time there. The space was clean and the host was attentive. However, the electric stove took a while to get hot enough so the first couple cycles I did were not as good as I had hoped. I also felt rushed at the end when the next cohort of guests were arriving, so having more time in between the cohorts would be better. The cold plunge pools were definitely cold enough though! Special shout out to sauna host Nick for dealing with an essential oil mishap (sorry about your watering eyes!) with such grace. I will probably return as it's centrally located, but hope that the sauna stove situation can improve to get those temperatures up at the start of the session. Thanks for creating this lovely space and I hope my feedback is useful! :)

The combination of cold plunging and hot sauna sessions has been a life-changing discovery for me. Gatherwell's thoughtfully designed space elevates this experience to new heights. The warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the attentive staff and like-minded patrons fosters a sense of community that complements the physical benefits perfectly. If you're seeking a holistic approach to wellness and rejuvenation, I wholeheartedly endorse giving Gatherwell a try. It's not just a facility; it's a transformative journey that I believe everyone should experience.

I’m writing this review after my fifth visit to Gatherwell. I’m a big fan of what they’re doing. They’ve created a really relaxing atmosphere for unwinding and getting some hot/cold therapy. You’d never know that you’re in an alley after you step through the door. The cedar sauna is roomy and gets proper hot. The cold plunges are set to different temperatures so you can pick based on your comfort level. I personally enjoy getting into whichever one has the most ice. Keep doing what you’re doing guys! Can’t wait to pop in come winter time 🥶❄️
