The Team
How it all started.
Access to the sauna can be an issue for a lot of people. In our small-town part of Northeast Ohio there simply aren't many places to go to get access to a decent sauna experience. The options are limited; you either pay for an expensive membership to a local gym or settle for a low end indoor infrared setup in your home which will cost you an arm and a leg. They simply don't offer the same experience of a full-cedar cabin sauna. We decided to see what the options were for a locally made, premium product and quickly realized that there wasn't one.
So we set out to do just that.
Using quality local materials and master Amish craftsmanship, we are able to offer an affordable, refined outdoor sauna experience. We hope that our photos speak for themselves, but encourage you to come see them in person to get the real effect.

I grew up in new-world Finnish sauna country: the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There, Sauna is more a lifestyle and less a hobby and I developed a passion for excellent sauna experiences. After spending leisure time during high school and college in and out of gyms and saunas, I traveled to China to work as an English teacher. Bathhouses are popular in China, and soon found a fix for my sauna bug. But upon return to US (Ohio), I could not find a sauna near my new place of work. And so I set out building an affordable home sauna solution - one that didn't require breaking the bank or carpentry skills. OhioSauna.com seeks to make the wellness and health benefits of quality saunas accessible and easy.

While I haven't been a sauna nut for long, I was introduced to it by my good friend and colleague Garrett when he set me up with a portable indoor steam sauna. While it felt nice, I was skeptical, and so he offered to get me in with at a local gym which offered a traditional dry sauna experience. A few sessions later, I had nailed down my routine and was hooked. There's nothing like a workout, sauna and cold shower to make you feel like a million bucks.
Growing up in the country, it became apparent that sauna access wasn't as simple as it should be. But I thought, why not? So I partnered with Garrett to try to find a solution. That solution is what led to the founding of OhioSauna.com.
