Sauna for Offices: The New Wellness

Picture this: rising from your workstation for a couple of minutes and sweating the stress out in a warm, soothing room.

That’s why offices are increasingly welcoming the sauna, as a luxury amenity, indeed, but also as a smart investment in team health. It’s a high-end sauna nook or a transportable unit parked near the break room. Introducing the sauna for offices is a rapidly expanding trend.

1. Why Workplace Saunas Are a Good Idea

Increases Well-being & Energy

Regular sauna sessions are known to help reduce stress hormones like cortisol, while promoting endorphin release and improved blood flow, which can lead to better focus and calmer moods during the workday.

Smarter, Happier Teams

Firms such as London’s Wise have incorporated saunas into their workplace and say their staff relax more, think creatively, and are up for a challenge. And showing on-site welfare benefits such as saunas tells staff you really do care, a good morale (and recruitment) enhancer.

2. Making It Work: Practical Tips

Choose the Correct Type

Infrared or compact sauna units are best suited for the office, they fit best within compact spaces and are easy to set up and maintain.

Plan for Comfort & Hygiene

Cleanliness and privacy are paramount. Firms usually offer towel wraps, slot booking, and hygienic facilities, so anyone can feel free to step in.

Keep It Seamless

Most contemporary units allow you to preheat during the morning or operate heat from a distance, so workers can slip a short session without breaking their rhythm.

3. Trends & What’s Next

The world sauna market is flourishing, valued at approximately $2.5 billion in 2025 and increasing every year by approximately 7%. We observe:

  • Clever saunas, with phone-app temperature and lighting controls
  • Sustainable designs, using eco-friendly woods and energy-efficient insulation
  • Portable and modular configurations, best suited for incorporation into offices of all scales

I've worked with Jayson (the owner) on about a half dozen builds now, he has always been extremely responsive, professional as well as fair and reasonable. I could not recommend BW more strongly.
