Recreation centers across Utah are expanding their wellness offerings, and custom saunas have become one of the most valuable additions for community-focused facilities. Custom Utah Saunas builds commercial-grade saunas designed for high-traffic environments, making them ideal for public recreation centers, aquatic facilities, and community fitness complexes.
Whether your center is located in Salt Lake, Utah County, Davis County, Weber County, Park City, or Southern Utah, a custom sauna enhances community access to health, recovery, and relaxation.
Why Recreation Centers Add Saunas
Recreation centers serve a wide range of community members, including families, seniors, athletes, and students. Saunas support wellness goals for all ages, offering benefits such as:
- Relaxation and stress relief
- Muscle recovery after swimming, classes, and gym workouts
- Cardiovascular and circulation support
- Joint relief for seniors and active adults
- A quiet, restorative environment within the facility
Adding a sauna increases membership value, supports public health, and helps recreation centers compete with private gyms and wellness clubs.
Commercial Sauna Designs for Recreation Centers
Recreation centers require sauna builds engineered for safety, durability, and frequent use. Popular commercial designs include:
- Large community saunas with high seating capacity
- Cedar or hemlock interior saunas for long-term stability
- Glass-front saunas for visibility and modern aesthetics
- Saunas integrated into pool, spa, or locker room areas
- ADA-accessible saunas with compliant seating and doorways
Each sauna is built to withstand daily usage while maintaining a welcoming environment for visitors.
