Partnerships
Space
-
We’ve expanded! Framework now has two locations: our Flagship studio in Wedgewood–Houston, and a new backyard-style outpost in East Nashville.
The core experience is the same—hot traditional sauna, ice-cold tubs, and space to unwind with others—but the setup is a little different. Flagship has indoor showers, private rooms, The Café, and SAVA Sound Journey. The Yard is fully outdoors, with a single sauna, multiple tubs, and plenty of room for movement, lounging, and fresh air.
It’s our way of bringing Framework to more people, at a lower price point, with the same focus on science, design, and community.
-
Framework’s new location is locatede at 928 McFerrin Ave in the East Nashville neighborhood of Nashville.
-
Framework’s East Nashville location is open weekdays (Monday-Thursday) from 7 A.M. – 7 P.M. and weekends (Saturday–Sunday) from 8 A.M. - 6 P.M.

HOUSE RULES
-
Stow away your screens.
Serene. Distraction-free. Screenless. Framework is a fully immersive social studio, best experienced without your phones, laptops, or other devices in tow. Honor your sessions as a proper break, sans screens, so you can get back to your day more refreshed than if you were resting with your phone. Also—you know—phones and water and sauna heat aren’t the best of friends. If you are bringing devices in, make sure they are silenced and safe in a locker with your other belongings.
Absolutely zero sexual conduct.
This one’s simple: Any form of sexual conduct is strictly prohibited. We have zero tolerance for any inappropriate, unwanted behavior towards Framework guests and employees. This includes any photography in our public ‘wet’ sauna and plunge areas and in our locker rooms.
Take to the showers between sessions.
We hold ourselves to the highest cleanliness standards, and hygiene is paramount in effort. On behalf of our saunas, plunge tubs, and your fellow Framework guests, take a quick shower before entering the sauna or cold plunge—including between the two.
Sweat and shiver in your suit.
The only gear you need to get one of the most rewarding workouts is a swimsuit. Make sure to come to your session wearing one, whether you change before heading to the studio in one or use our changing rooms when you arrive.
All are welcome.
Building a foundation for your health should know no boundaries. Our commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive space is clear: Framework welcomes all adults, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, or background.
Start slow and with support.
Your body will give you signals. Pay attention to your sweating or shivering, your breathing changes, and your heart rate. If you can only do 30 seconds of cold, clock 30 seconds. If you can only do five minutes of sauna, do so. Duration is much less important than showing up consistently and frequently. We’re here to coach you through additions and augmentation as you ignite your practice—don’t hesitate to tap a Framework employee to discuss your goals, needs, and ideal experience.
Make the most of your time.
Framework works best when your exposure workouts are frequent and consistent. We encourage you to book your sessions in advance—to maintain the flow of scheduled sessions. To maximize your time in the heat and in the cold.
Follow the fun.
