    For the owners of the portable saunas how do you keep it clean? Put towels down to catch the sweat?

    IIRC even the most pseudo of the pseudoscience that supports heat therapy in saunas say that any benefit you glean from being in there falls off after 30 minutes

    Yep.

    also exercising in heat is a recipe for disaster - please don’t.

    Quite often people will do sit ups or life weights in there

    That and people talking blows my mind. Just relax

    But think of all that sweet butthole smell you’d be missing out on from Bikram yoga classes.

    I won’t stop running off hangovers in the hottest of hot weather and you can’t make me

    When it gets hot here I’ll wear a sauna jacket to go jog in the park and just sweat my ass off.

    There is some cleaning solution you are supposed to wipe it down with after every use - I have never done this but the wife does it seemingly often.

    Just rejoined my gym (haven’t been a member during Covid) and after first workout enjoyed my steam room. Shit is the greatest.

    been loving it. Usually go in for about 25 mins. I definitely use it more in the winter. Good purchase

    was interested in the 3 person ones. the internets say the 2 person units are really tight. so if me and her are in it i want some elbow room.

    yeah, the only other thing i would recommend is making sure you can start the sauna remotely. It takes mine about 40 mins to warm up. Not sure how the three person one.

    Did Sunlighten install it for you? Or, did you install it yourself (if so, how difficult was it?)

    I was redoing my condo and I just had the builders do this as well. I am pretty sure it was very easy though.

    Up at the cabin we do. It's in a log cabin style building, 3 tiered cedar benches, barrel stove. Also have a set up where you can pump water from a bucket to either onto the rocks on top of the stove to create a steam room effect or to an overhead showerhead so you can take a shower in the winter.

    I'll see if I can find some interior photos that aren't me taking a selfie in front of the thermometer.
