Othership Adelaide

I really wanted to like this place and rate it higher. Celebrated my birthday here. We came for the experience before heading to dinner and overall it was good the staff were friendly and everyone was welcoming. I rated it 3 stars instead of 5 mainly because the change room area gets very crowded. I feel the space could be larger, with separate men’s and women’s change rooms, and the bathrooms could be more accessible. For example, at the end I needed to use the bathroom, which is past the cold plunge and sauna not ideal when you’re in tights and just want to dry your hair and use the bathroom. Other than that, it was great, but I personally wouldn’t choose it again for a birthday outing. I’d come on my own or try a location with more space. I haven’t visited the Yorkville location yet. One more note: they were limited in stock. I was hoping to buy a cotton sweater, but they didn’t have my size, which was disappointing. They also didn’t have red light available and at times it was so crowded it didn't give you a chance to connect with your innerworld which I find is so important. Teabags were also made in microplastic, no other options were available The staff were very nice overall. Parking was convenient.

Othership is honestly one of the best wellness experiences in Toronto. The space feels calming the moment you walk in - dim lighting, relaxing scents, and a super welcoming team that guides you through everything. The contrast of the hot sauna and cold plunge is unreal. You walk out feeling lighter, clearer, and almost reset from the inside out. It’s not just a spa… it’s a whole mood shift. If you’re looking to de-stress, recharge, or just treat yourself to something that actually makes a difference, Othership is absolutely worth it!

It’s was my second attempt to come and It was my second chance to fall in love with Othership and it finally happened thanks to Deidre .I was as a guest this time and I want to leave a special appreciation for Deidre. During my second visit, she helped me finally immerse myself in the cold plunge — something I couldn’t do during my first session. Her support, calm energy, and friendly communication made all the difference for me. She even offered me a beautiful sound bowl experience (I’m not sure what it’s called, but it really helped me relax because she’s magically used it in perfect second (matching time)🫣how she knew that moment!!!??? Maybe she guides customers through their breathing — and I’m very grateful for that level of professionalism. You should definitely ask her how she does it, sorry. But truly, every guest should feel as happy as I did. I also want to add that at some moments it felt like she could truly sense what I was experiencing. Her approach was so gentle, intuitive, and deeply professional that it really impressed me. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to stay in the cold water for almost two minutes, and the feeling was absolutely unforgettable. Deidre is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring with clients. This experience made me seriously consider becoming a membership holder, and I’m thankful for the positive impact she had on my visit. Kind Regards,Dina Shapoval

Othership is easily the best sauna and cold plunge experience in the city. The space is calm and intentional, the staff are helpful without being pushy, and the hot cold circuit actually delivers. The sauna gets properly hot, the plunge hits hard in the best way, and you walk out feeling clearer, lighter, and like you genuinely did something good for yourself. Highly recommend.

I came from out of town to check out Othership and it was definitely worth the trip to this beautiful space!! Leora and Lammy were so welcoming and kind, which helped ease my fears about doing the cold plunge. I have anxiety and they made me feel very comfortable and supported. Everything was very clean and overall just an amazingly relaxing and refreshing atmosphere, but my favorite part of the experience was the towel waving in the sauna!!! The waves of warm air combined with the essential oil blend snow balls made it feel like my stress was just melting away, it was pure bliss. Looking forward to going back and checking out some of the classes.

I love this space and the free flow class. I came in with my mom, who is 80 and doesn't have much experience in this space. She's been once before and had a good experience. I am continuously blown away by the staff and journey leaders! They are always so welcoming, compassionate and supportive of her and really take their time to ensure she is getting in and out of the cold plunge tubs safely (which I immensely appreciate)! Today Mike and Stella were so friendly and accommodating. It really creates such a beautiful experience and she feels safe enough to join me and share it. So thank you! The concept is immaculately executed and the staff embody and amplify the value that's created in the space. Very grateful!

I attended Stuart Campbell’s guided down : sound immersion class at the Adelaide location, and it was an invigorating experience. Spectacular class, specially for beginner to mid level people (which is where I am at) .. I would highly suggest that Staurat’s class be incorporated into your wellness regime since he really takes the time to educate you on the overall journey, the layout of the space and establishes expectations. He brings positive energy, meaningful intent and affirmative structure to the class. His demeanour is very calm, composed and attentive. Highly recommended.

Had a great experience with the Loving Kindness (Down) class. This mix of intense sensations provided by the sauna and ice bath, and the relaxing elements of scents and sounds mingled together to create a memorable experience. Would recommend to those willing to explore outside of their comfort zone.

Truly the most special place on earth. This is Othership's first location - there's another one on York in Toronto and one in NYC. I'm so glad I was able to do two sessions here and honestly, I think about this place every day. The guides here are so special. The concept of other ship is contrast therapy: there is sauna, and cold plunge. But it's unlike any contrast therapy I've done. It's a 75 minute class where you go in and your swimsuit and it's coed. You take part in a version of Aufguss - a sauna where they break balls of ice infused with delicious essential oils. I took a Gacha class where you do lymphatic drainage and then I also took a heart opener class. They also have free flow where there's no guide. The cold plunge is really special - you get paired up but if the class is small you can go alone. I've cold plunged a lot, and this experience transformed me. I was able to stay really, really calm and have a euphoric experience. The guides also use a tuning fork after the cold plunge to get you to calm the nervous system. The shower and changing room is not ideal for anyone that wants to go about their day after the experience but other than that, I wish I lived in Toronto to do this daily. The staff is also super friendly. They gave me their signature incense for my first visit. I love, love this place.

Othership, located along Adelaide and Brant, is a transformative experience that you won't understand until you try it. It's not just a sauna and ice bath facility, but a place that fosters community and inclusivity and a sanctuary for when you need to get away from the stresses of life (or when you need to relieve all that stress). The facility and it's staff, along with other participants, provides a safe and welcoming space for you to let go and look inward where you feel like a completely different person once you finish your session or class. I have always been interested to try Othership but was afraid to take the first step. I was able to try one of their guided classes recently as I received a free credit. I booked a deep stretch guided class around noon mid-week. Not knowing what to expect I went in with an open mind, allowing myself to explore and be curious about the experience, as well as try new things. Prior to the class, I probably was most anxious about the cold plunge part of the class. Upon entering Othership, you are greeted by staff where you are checked in. I did tell staff it was my first time there and they gave me a tour of the space. I was also given a wristband to wear, indicating that I was a first timer there - this is done so that it is easier for the instructor to identify the newcomers in the group, just in case we needed extra guidance or direction. Facility wise, Othership is a nice sanctuary in the city. The changerooms aren't terribly big but they do have private change rooms you can utilize. There are lockers you can store your belongings and shoes are not allowed in the sauna/cold plunge area. They provide you with 2 towels and there is tea as well as water (and cups) available. The bathrooms are at the very back past the cold plunge area. In regards to my class, we were able to settle in and the instructor explained the guided class and what we would be doing as we settled on the couches. She was aware that many of us were first timers in the class, knowing that we would be anxious about the cold plunge. She told us to embrace our own journey, with the understanding that everyone is starting at different places with different levels of experience. This pre-class talk was quite reassuring and I felt a sense of comfort sharing this experience with others, knowing that we were in this together. In the guided deep stretch class, we were first in the sauna for about 25-30 min where we did a series of breathwork and stretching, focusing on different parts of our body. The sauna was quite hot after a while and I was dripping sweat but the focus on the breath was a key factor in managing how I was feeling and the heat. After the sauna we were split into 2 groups where we did the cold plunge for 2 min (prior to the plunge you have to rinse off your body using the communal showers). I was so nervous about this part of the class but I was able to stay submerged for the whole 2 min. Having a focus on your breathwork was crucial. After the cold plunge we all gathered in the sauna again where we did several more breathworks and had a sharing portion to the class where we could talk about our experience if we wanted to. Last 15 min of class we were invited to do another cold plunge, stay in the sauna, or relax and drink tea/water. Overall, I had an amazing first experience at Othership. Will definitely return to try more guided classes in the future!

I've been going to Othershio for two years and it had changed my life over time. For any new-timers to cold plunges, I ensure you it's not as scary as your mind makes it to be. Take deep breaths, do what is comfortable to you and when you feel ready hold your shape under water- after the first initial 30 seconds your body adapts to the temperature! If you are looking for a guided instructor, my favourite is Jef Catapang, the blend of movement, instruments or voice exercises (depends on the class) is always a good time.

I developed a lot of anxiety following knee surgery and discovered Othership after my friends spoke of how cold plunging and breathwork helped their recovery. I went into my first class with an open mind and became hooked after my first class. The cold plunge was very challenging, but I came out feeling energized. It's been six months, and I have become more connected with myself. Othership offers such a unique experience in downtown Toronto. Whenever I enter the space, it feels like an escape, and I always look forward to leaving feeling refreshed and relaxed. The guides are supportive, and I love the variety of guided classes. I recommend Othership to all my friends interested in exploring sauna and cold plunging, as well as learning of all the health benefits of it!

My friends and I attended the Loving Kindness session with Marco this past Monday, and it was honestly one of the more powerful experiences of my life. I'm very much a beginner when it comes to breathwork/meditation, but my guided session here at Othership felt like leagues greater than what I've been able to accomplish on my own. I usually tap out of a sauna session after 10 minutes, but with Marco's encouragement, was able to stick it out for the entire 25 minutes! Ditto with the ice bath - a full two minutes! I absolutely loved the short meditations and breathwork paired with the different scents. The facilities were very clean and absolutely gorgeous, and all the employees we met were so kind and helpful. I appreciate the free time we had at the end of the session to relax or sauna or go for another cold plunge. We only had about a dozen people in our class, but I can imagine some of the busier time slots get a bit crowded. Marco is such a genuine and caring guide as well; I highly recommend his sessions and would not hesitate to do another session next time we're in the area!

Wow! What an experience... I've been 3 times now and each time has been interesting and intense. First off, the hot and cold elements are not for the faint of heart. The sauna is hot, but you have the option of different seating levels (hot air rises so the higher seating is the hottest). You obviously can leave at anytime, and same with the ice bath - you only have to do as much as you can handle. They have guided and "free flow" sessions. I've only done the guided sessions because the session leader coaches you through the hot and cold elements making it much more enjoyable le and bearable. Each guide has had an interesting personality, and made each session unique. Each of the sessions I've done have had the same structure: sauna for 20-30 minutes, ice bath for 2 minutes, then 5-10 minutes in the sauna again, with option to do a second cold plunge. The classes are always full so there's lots of time between moving between hot and cold while the guide gets everyone in and out of the cold plunge. This is fine since I needed a few minutes to reorient myself after the hot and cold. The sauna sessions have 3 really nice elements - aromatherapy, music and the guide providing meditation, breath work, and coaching commentary. The class descriptions tells you roughly what sort of vibe the class is (energetic vs. calming), and the instructor will bring their own combination of elements as well. My only criticism (and this is reaching) is that in least 2 of the 3 sessions the instructors encouraged catharsis. In the moment I thought to myself - catharsis is not bought - you can't spend a lot of money, play nice music, apply breathing techniques, sweat (or freeze) and expect a cathartic moment to just happen. For me catharsis is a serious emotion, not an adjective. Ironically, I did have a cathartic moment in one of the sessions, so perhaps all that magic did work! All in all - 5 stars and I'll be back :)

I recommend Othership to everyone willing to listen to me rant about how great it is. They have single-handedly shifted the culture around hot/cold therapy in this city. They created an experience and community that's so awesome and enriching that thousands of people would rather choose wellness and meet their friends for a sauna and tea instead of drinking and partying. If you're new to sauna and cold plunges, start with a class for a guided experience.

To the untrained eye, Othership is simply a sauna & ice bath facility. But it is so much more than that. For me, Othership is a sanctuary in the city. It's where I go when I'm having an off week to ground myself. It's where I go to release stuck emotions. I always feel lighter and more energized afterword a session. Othership is where I go with my friends when I want to be social, but also do something that nourishes my body and soul! But more importantly, Othership is the centre of a conscious community of warm and friendly people that prioritize a healthy lifestyle and personal growth. In a stressful, often impersonal, city like Toronto, this is a game changer. I've shared so many wholesome conversations and experiences with friends I've made in the Othership community, that it's completely changed my experience of Toronto. And for that, I'm deeply grateful. P.S. If you really want to challenge yourself, I recommend trying the Arctic Tundra class!

Othership has become a balm for me to strengthen my immunity and nervous system, beautify my skin and form amazing community with the best crew in Toronto. The music and vibes are flawless, the staff is encouraging and kind, and the ice is FRIGID! Expect soaring dopamine levels and the best sleep of your life afterwards! So grateful to have this experience in Toronto.

Stepping into this oasis is like entering a blissful haven where every detail has been curated for an unparalleled experience. The ambiance, bathed in soft warm lighting and engaging music, sets the stage for a truly rejuvenating and deeply connecting escape from the outside world. The staff are exceptional, providing not only warmth but also a wealth of knowledge to enhance your well-being and overall experience. Their attention to detail ensures every moment is tailored to your comfort and enjoyment. The sauna and cold plunge experience is no short of transformative, offering a perfect balance of invigorating heat and activating cold. it's both a community experience and a personal journey towards improved health and deeper connection. The perfect retreat from the chaos of everyday life, and an opportunity to nurture both body and soul. This spa is a hidden gem deserving of every accolade.

Othership is an incredible space that has been beautifully designed providing an amazingly transformative environment. As soon as you walk in the music, scents and people make you feel relaxed and at ease. It is a perfect place to unwind and meet like minded people who want to feel great and connect without intoxicating themselves. The sauna is amazing with multiple levels to suit your tolerance and big enough to fit around 30+ people which creates a great social environment. The ice baths are also amazing! I always feeling glowing, relaxed and energized after every visit. I would and have recommended to everyone. It is a big part of recovery and self care routine!

Othership is a great getaway in the middle of the city. I've been a journeyer for some time now and always find the space welcoming, clean and inspiring. I can't imagine my life without it.

Obsessed with this new space! Super clean and sleek. The perfect place to "get away" and reset, and yet it's right on the subway line! It couldn't be more convenient!

great spot! been a member since day one! the ice bath and sauna literally help me sleep better! my stress levels have gone down... the whole experience is great. thank you
