Framework Sauna & Cold Plunge Studio to Open Flagship Location in Nashville

Nashville, Tenn. – Framework, a Finnish-inspired sauna and cold plunge studio focused on enhancing physical, mental, and social well-being, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its flagship location on January 3, 2025. Nestled in the rapidly evolving Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood at 1411 4th Ave South, this state-of-the-art facility offers a holistic hot and cold exposure experience, blending centuries-old traditions with cutting-edge scientific research to promote overall health and wellness.

A State-of-the-Art Facility Built for Wellness

Spanning over 5,000 square feet, Framework’s facility has been thoughtfully designed by Centric Architecture and constructed by City Construction to optimize the sauna and cold plunge experience. The space includes:

  • Seven custom-designed traditional saunas by Cedar & Stone Nordic Sauna featuring premium thermally modified ash and cedar woods paired with imported Finnish heaters.
  • Thirteen cold plunge tubs are available for communal and private use indoors and outdoors.
  • Full-amenity locker rooms, towels, and showers for a seamless guest experience.
  • Onsite parking for added convenience.

This setup lets visitors fully immerse themselves in the thermic cycle, alternating between heat and cold exposure for a truly revitalizing experience. Whether guests seek relaxation, recovery, or social interaction, Framework offers a personalized approach to wellness.

A Mission Rooted in Community and Proven Health Benefits

“Our mission is to create a community-focused space that makes regular hot and cold exposure a simple, enjoyable, and effective part of daily life,” said Allen Penn, founder of Framework. “We’ve seen firsthand how these age-old practices deliver lasting benefits. This flagship location is designed to elevate that experience, providing a beautiful, modern environment where people can come together to improve their health.”

Scientific research supports the health benefits of sauna and cold plunge therapy. Regular sauna use has reduced the risk of chronic diseases, while cold exposure aids in physical recovery, mental clarity, and mood improvement.

Membership Options for Every Lifestyle

Framework’s membership model encourages routine wellness with pricing tiers to suit various needs:

  • $119/month: Four sessions
  • $199/month: Eight sessions
  • $299/month: Unlimited sessions

Framework also welcomes drop-in visitors for $35 on weekdays and $59 on weekends, with private event bookings available.

Introducing Nashville’s First Non-Alcoholic Café

Adding to the experience is The Café at Framework, Nashville’s first non-alcoholic café. Located on the studio’s second floor, the café features handcrafted zero-proof cocktails, tea sodas, espresso drinks, draft non-alcoholic beer, kombucha, and healthy snacks. Collaborations with local partners like Bitter Earth LibationsCrema Coffee, and Radish Kitchen ensure a curated, health-conscious menu.

Penn emphasized Framework’s unique approach: “Our motto is ‘Sweat, Shiver, Socialize.’ We aim to create a space where health meets connection. Instead of the typical outing for drinks, people can enjoy meaningful, health-enhancing social experiences.”
