FAQ

First time? Good.

Still curious? Drop us a line at support@lowlu.co

Absolutely. We built Lowlu for healthy hedonists, not sauna purists. Rounds are self-guided, there are cooler and hotter saunas, and plunges from a gentle 15°C to a bracing 3°C. Go at your own pace.

60 minutes of heat, cold and calm. Solo, with pals, or the whole team.
