How Much Is Your Gym Sauna Really Costing You?
How Much Is Your Gym Sauna Really Costing You? Let’s Do the Math!
You’ve probably enjoyed the luxury of a sauna at your gym, relaxing those muscles after a hard workout or unwinding after a long day. But have you ever stopped to consider just how much that gym sauna is really costing you—not just in dollars, but in time and energy?
Let’s break it down to help you see the bigger picture.
The True Cost of Your Gym Sauna Visits
Let’s say you visit the gym sauna 4 times a week, at $45 per session. That’s pretty common for a lot of us who make sauna time a weekly routine. Here’s how those costs add up over the year:
$45 per session x 4 sessions per week x 52 weeks per year = $9,360
That’s right! Just for one person, you’re spending over $9,000 a year to use a sauna at the gym. But the financial cost isn’t the only factor to consider.
Time Is Money: The Hidden Costs of Your Gym Sauna Routine
Now, let’s talk about time. You may think your sauna session is just 20 minutes of relaxation, but it takes time to drive to and from the gym. Here’s the breakdown:
30 minutes of driving per session (15 minutes there, 15 minutes back)
Let’s assume your time is worth $50/hour (which is a fair estimate of the value of your time in today’s fast-paced world). That’s $25 per sauna session just for the time spent driving.
So, in addition to the cost of the sauna itself, here’s what your time is really costing:
$25 per session x 4 sessions per week x 52 weeks per year = $5,200
That’s another $5,200 a year just for driving to and from the gym. And that’s if you’re only using the sauna alone. The more time you spend getting there, the less time you have to spend doing what you love.
Gas and Car Usage: Your Vehicle Isn’t Free
Oh, and don’t forget about your car. Every time you drive to the gym, you're using gas and putting wear and tear on your vehicle. Let’s assume that these additional costs add up to $2500 per year for gas and vehicle maintenance.
The Total Cost of Your Gym Sauna Habit
When you add up all the costs, here’s the true total for one person using the gym sauna regularly:
$9,360 for sauna sessions
$5,200 for your time spent driving
$2,500 for gas and car usage
That totals up to $17,060 a year—just for using the sauna at your gym. 😱
Now, What If You Have a Family Member Using the Sauna, Too?
Let’s say someone else in your household also uses the sauna. If your partner, spouse, or family member is also paying for sauna sessions, their costs are exactly the same as yours.
$17,060 x 2 = $34,120 per year for two people. That’s right, $34,120 every single year!
Now ask yourself—does that really make sense? Spending more than $30,000 a year on something that’s essentially renting your relaxation time? That's a lot of money spent year after year, for something that isn’t even yours.
What If You Could Own Your Own Custom In-Home Sauna?
Imagine this: You’ve got your very own sauna right in your home, available anytime you want, no driving required, and at a fraction of the yearly cost.
Here’s the magic:
You pay once for the sauna (pricing will vary, but it's a one-time investment).
No more paying for gas, car wear, or your time spent driving.
No more worrying about gym membership fees that keep increasing.
And best of all—you own it, which means unlimited use and zero limitations.
With a custom in-home sauna, you're investing in health, convenience, and cost savings over the long term.
The Bottom Line: Save Time, Money, and Energy
When you own an in-home sauna, you’re not just saving money; you’re also saving time, energy, and effort. Think about how much easier it would be to simply walk to your own sauna in the comfort of your own home—whenever you want.
It’s not just about the financial cost; it’s about having control over your wellness routine, without the hassle of driving, scheduling, or worrying about gym hours.
