About this studio
SweatHouz Old Town is the Wells Street private contrast option for the Near North Side, steps from the Old Town corridor rather than a downtown loop detour. The room format matches other SWTHZ studios (infrared, plunge, vitamin C shower), which makes it a quiet first timer pick if you want privacy without a communal club floor.
Praxium's Google mirror showed about 4.8 stars from roughly 147 reviews (approximate). Pause Studio Old Town at 1650 N Wells is now open up the street if you want float and cryo on the same credit plan.

Plunge less than a few times a week and the membership usually wins. Compare home cold plunges or home saunas.
