Introducing Sweat Equity: The Course Every Sauna Facilitator Wishes They’d Had When They’d Started
Maybe it started with a friend dragging you to your first sauna session, or maybe it was that first cold plunge that left your whole body buzzing for hours afterward. However it began, you felt something shift—and you came back for more.
Now you’re the one making sauna a consistent part of your week, not because it’s trendy, but because you’ve felt the difference it makes. You’re not spending your nights deep-diving through research papers or watching endless videos on contrast therapy, and frankly, you don’t have time for that.
Still, you do want to understand more. You want to be able to answer questions when they come. You want to feel confident guiding others, whether it’s in your business, your community, or even just a curious friend.
You’ve picked up pieces of knowledge here and there, but what you’re really craving now is a clear, trustworthy foundation. Something real. Something efficient.
You don’t need to become a full-time sauna scholar.
You just need a resource that gets to the point, respects your time, and equips you with the essentials, without the fluff.


When the Noise Gets Loud, Clarity Matters More Than Ever
You’ve probably found yourself Googling, scrolling through influencer reels, and listening to podcasts, trying to piece it all together. And maybe you’ve wondered, Who am I to lead anyone in this? I’m not an expert.
But here’s the truth: Why not you?
If you’re already doing the work, already showing up for yourself and others in the sauna, already paying attention to the subtle shifts in your body and the big shifts in your mind, then you’re already walking the path.
What you need now isn’t a new identity. It’s a deeper foundation.
In today’s wellness world, the hype is deafening.
Sauna and cold plunge have gone viral, and with that exposure has come a wave of content that ranges from helpful to misinformed. Everyone from TikTok influencers to podcasters to late-night comedians is weighing in on thermic bathing. But how do you, someone who actually cares about doing this right, know what’s real?
If you’re leading contrast therapy experiences, offering sauna to others, or simply wanting to understand the practice more deeply, hype won’t cut it. You need clarity. Not only for your own integrity, but to serve your community well.
That’s why we created Sweat Equity.
