Ice Cold Pool
"Dunk!" one woman instructs a newcomer as she comes out of the Steam Room and gets into the ice-cold pool nearby. Another ten people are hanging out in the Russian Room, filling up buckets-and before passing out-dumping it over their heads. "Feels. Good", says a lady named Paula, who barbecues herself once a week here. "I've been to spas that are much more elegant, " says Paula's friend, an aerobics teacher, 'but here there's a lot of tile and the steam room is all stone and it's like walking into the 1900's." No one seems self-conscious, lounging or walking in almost naked bliss, whether their body resembles Jackie Gleason or an Olympic Russian Gymnast, no one seems to care, and the feeling of total freedom from worrying about appearances is the big attraction. The goal at the baths is to get in touch with your real self; to be free and un-burdened and in the process to truly enjoy yourself. Here at the Baths you will be free to do just that!

Russian Sauna
This authentic russian room is the highlight of every visit to the baths. The oven is filled with 20,000 lbs. of rock which are cooked overnight. During the day, these rocks give off an intense heat. This is one of the few rooms of its kind in the United States.

Surrounding a huge rock-walled furnace, women and men alike will be immersed in a hot, very steamy, stone furnaced "radiant heat". When the heat starts to get unbearable, take one of the dozens of buckets around the room, fill it with ice cold water, and like the Russians hundreds of years before you have done, dump it over your head. Now don't be self-conscious because as you will soon notice, everyone is dousing themselves with buckets of water. In that sheer moment as the ice-cold water pours over you, comes one of the most enjoyable moments you will ever experience. It is sheer delight. You can also request a traditional Russian Platza treatment.
