San Diego's Finnish Sauna & Cold Plunge Club

We are currently under construction. Creating one of the highest-quality contrast therapy experiences in San Diego takes time.

We're committed to getting every detail right, from custom engineering and European-standard Finnish saunas to custom cold plunge systems and exceptional sanitation standards.

We would rather take longer than get it wrong.

Founding Membership will be limited to 100 members at $249 per month, locked for as long as they stay active. Join the email list below to follow the build and get first access before spots open publicly.

RAPID is located at 2990 Midway Drive, Suite A, San Diego, CA 92110, in the Midway / Sports Arena area, just minutes from Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Mission Bay, and Liberty Station.

Six dedicated parking spots will be reserved for RAPID members, plus additional unreserved parking available in the shared lot. The location is convenient and easily accessible for most San Diego residents.

Founding Membership will open once we are close enough to opening to make the wait short. It will be limited to the first 100 members, who lock in $249 per month for as long as they stay active; the public price after that will be $299.

The email list gets first access before spots open publicly. Join below to be notified the moment they open.

Joining takes ten seconds through any Get First Access button on this page. Once you sign up, you'll start getting:

• Regular construction updates and behind-the-scenes photos
• Milestone notifications from the build
• First access when the 100 founding spots open

There is no commitment and no payment. It is simply the best way to follow the build and decide in your own time.

We are still finalizing our exact hours and will announce them closer to opening.

Our plan is to start with a focused schedule during the Founders soft launch and expand our hours as we settle into full operation. Whatever the final schedule looks like, it will be built around one goal: making a consistent weekly practice easy for our members.

We'll share the final schedule with everyone on the email list as soon as it's confirmed, well before we officially open.

Most visits to RAPID will last between 30 and 90 minutes.

Many people find that 35–60 minutes is ideal. Some members prefer shorter 30-minute sessions, while others prefer longer sessions and multiple rounds.

Because the experience is completely self-paced, you can stay as long as you like and leave whenever you feel ready. There's no rush and no fixed schedule to follow.

A proper swimsuit or bathing suit is required at all times (No regular underwear, street clothes, or nudity allowed).

When we open, a visit to RAPID will feel calm, intentional, and highly effective, a true contrast therapy designed exclusively for Sauna and Cold Plunge.

You'll enter a serene, modern space. Everything is self-paced with no pressure.

A typical session flows like this: You move between our traditional Finnish sauna with high heat up to 195°F, exceptional rapid hot air movement for breathable and even warmth while remaining challenging, and our custom cold plunge system.

Our cold plunges are unique: multiple individual plunges with different temperatures and adjustable rapid water movement (convection cooling). This allows effective cooling without extreme cold, making the experience far more approachable and customizable for both beginners and advanced users.

Between rounds, you'll rest in our quiet lounge area. Most visits last 30–90 minutes, and you stay as long as you like.

The overall feeling is one of deep relaxation, mental clarity, reduced stress, and a powerful physical reset, leaving you calmer, more resilient, and better recovered.

We built RAPID to deliver the kind of high-quality, supportive contrast therapy experience we always wished existed in San Diego.

Yes, RAPID is very beginner-friendly and specifically designed to be approachable for people trying contrast therapy for the first time.

• In the sauna, there's a lower bench with milder heat so you can start gently and gradually move to the hotter upper benches.
• In the cold plunge, we offer multiple individual plunges with different temperatures and adjustable water flow speeds. Instead of extreme cold, we use rapid water movement to cool the body effectively and you can choose based on your personal preference that day.

You can go at your own pace, do as many or as few rounds as you like, and build comfort over time. Everything is self-paced with no pressure to push limits.

You bring:

• A proper swimsuit or bathing suit is required at all times (No regular underwear, street clothes, or nudity allowed).

We provide you with:

• Two fresh towels, one for the sauna and one for drying
• A water and tea station

Everything else will be taken care of on-site.

We intentionally offer only authentic Finnish sauna and cold plunge because we believe this focused contrast therapy is the most effective approach we know.

Focus is the point. Every square foot of the space, every hour of our attention, and every dollar of the build goes into doing these two things at the highest level. Anything we added would take away from that.

Our entire facility is designed around one powerful sequence: heat, cold, rest. This focused approach, refined over thousands of years in Finland and supported by modern research, consistently provides deeper stress relief, better recovery, clearer thinking, and long-term resilience.

We want every visit to feel intentional, calm, and highly effective. Less is more when it comes to real physiological benefits.

Our sauna is built as a true traditional Finnish sauna, not a typical low-heat or infrared version.

• Designed in collaboration with sauna professionals from Finland
• High temperatures ranging from 160–195°F (70–90°C) with excellent airflow and even heat distribution
• High-quality wood construction designed for proper heat retention and comfort
• Spacious layout that allows for relaxed, full-length sessions
• The traditional German Aufguss, performed at set times, steam, aromas, and waves of heat moving through the room

This combination delivers the real sauna experience: deep, penetrating heat, proper ventilation, and a practice that has been carried on for generations in Europe.

The Aufguss is a traditional German sauna ritual, and it will be one of the signatures of RAPID. We will perform traditional German Aufguss sessions at set times, steam, aromas, and waves of heat moving through the room.

During a session, a trained attendant pours scented water over the hot stones and then moves the steam through the room in waves. Each wave carries a rush of aromatic heat, and the ritual builds over several rounds. It deepens the heat, the experience, and the sense of doing this together with the people in the room.

No experience is needed. You simply take a seat before the session begins, the attendant explains everything, and you can step out at any point if you need to.

Sessions will run at set times throughout the week.

Our cold plunge will typically be kept between 39°F and 55°F, with different temperature options available.

We focus on rapid water movement and circulation rather than making the water extremely cold. This approach delivers strong physiological benefits while feeling more supportive and less shocking, especially for beginners.

You'll be able to choose a temperature that feels right for you on any given day, and we'll have clear guidance to help you ease into it safely.

Yes, occasional visits will be available.

Once we open, we plan to offer single-day passes and multi-session packages in addition to memberships. This will allow people to visit occasionally without committing to a full membership.

Founding Members lock in the lowest monthly membership price we will ever offer.

We'll share exact details and pricing for day passes closer to opening. Joining the email list now is the best way to be notified as soon as this information becomes available.

• Heart disease, high blood pressure, or any cardiovascular issues
• Pregnancy
• Recent injuries or surgeries

We're designing RAPID with cleanliness and safety as top priorities from the very beginning.

• Regular deep-cleaning routines
