Framework

Overview

Framework is a premium contrast therapy studio in Nashville specializing in traditional saunas and commercial-grade cold plunges. It offers a social, high-design wellness experience combining 60 minutes of heat (up to 190°F) and 10 minutes of cold (35–60°F) for recovery, resilience, and community. The atmosphere blends performance-focused design with social vibes—think communal sweating, chatting in saunas, invigorating plunges, and serene soundscapes. Both locations emphasize accessibility, with indoor/outdoor options, silent/social sessions, and private rooms for personalized practice. Proven benefits include stress reduction, better sleep, metabolic health, and dopamine boosts, backed by science and partnerships like STAT Wellness.
