Notes

• What makes this sauna special: Unlike standalone spas, The Lander is uniquely positioned within a sports complex, ideal for immediate post-game or training recovery for hockey players, skaters, and gym-goers. Clothing-optional policy fosters authenticity, inspired by Scandinavian traditions, with strict hygiene protocols (showers mandatory before entry).
• Differentiators: Integration with sports facilities (direct access from rinks), adults-focused (no kids under 16), and emphasis on contrast therapy (sauna-steam-plunge cycle). Highly rated for cleanliness (4.8/5 on Google) and value. COVID protocols include capacity limits and enhanced sanitation. Not a full spa—focus is on heat therapy over treatments.
