Sauna Society

About Us

Glasgow University Sauna Society is all about fostering community, promoting wellness, and embracing the many benefits of sauna culture. Whether you’re a seasoned sauna enthusiast or new to the heat, we provide the perfect space to unwind, connect, and recharge both mind and body.

Our Mission

We aim to create a vibrant and inclusive community where students can:

• Connect socially: Our weekly socials and gatherings offer the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded people who share a passion for wellness, relaxation, and a love of saunas.
• Reap the physical benefits: Saunas are proven to support recovery, boost circulation, and enhance physical performance. We work closely with student sports clubs to integrate sauna usage into active and healthy lifestyles.
• Relax and de-stress: Especially during the pressures of university life, such as exam periods, our sauna sessions provide a tranquil escape to recharge and find balance.

What We Do

• Weekly Sauna Sessions: Join us each week for a group sauna or steam room session to experience wellness benefits.
• Social Events: Relax outside the sauna at our socials, where members gather to build friendships, share experiences, and have fun.
• Workshops: Learn from experts in the field through engaging talks on the science of sauna use and tips for maximizing your sessions.
• Research Opportunities: For the more academically inclined, we highlight opportunities to explore and contribute to scientific research about sauna science.

Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind, a way to meet new friends, or a chance to learn more about the science and culture of saunas, GUSS has something for everyone. Come and join us to heat things up in the best way possible!
