Retro Fitness sauna availability
Retro Fitness runs 74 clubs in our inventory and 13 of them publish a facility list detailed enough to answer this question. All 13 name a dry sauna. The other 61 say nothing either way, and not one of them states that a sauna is missing.

That distinction decides how to read the rest of this page. A club without a sauna in our count is unconfirmed, not sauna-free. Most Retro Fitness clubs are franchise-run and their pages carry no facility list at all, so the 13 below are proof that the chain builds saunas, not a list of every sauna in it.
The 13 Retro Fitness clubs that list a sauna

| Fairfield | Fairfield | NJ |

New Jersey holds seven of them, New York one of its twenty clubs, Pennsylvania and Texas one each of five, and Maryland, Michigan and Utah one apiece, that club being their only one.
Which states have a confirmed sauna
7 states have at least one Retro Fitness club with a sauna. New Jersey leads with 7 of 33 clubs.
The shares look low because they count every club in the state, including the ones that publish nothing. New Jersey’s seven sit inside thirty three clubs we track, and no New Jersey page confirms a sauna is absent either.
What kind of sauna does Retro Fitness have?
Every one of the 13 names a dry sauna. No steam room and no infrared cabin appears anywhere in the set, which puts Retro Fitness apart from Crunch, where 72 clubs list infrared, and from LA Fitness, where 30 list steam.
Whether that is a fact about the chain or a fact about which clubs bother to publish a facility list, only the club can settle. A sauna is what the pages name, so a sauna is what we count.
Membership tiers & costs
Sauna access is listed as varying by club at every tier, so no upgrade reliably buys it.
Flex
Varies- Membership cost
- $19.99 - $44.99/mo
Entry membership with home-club gym access. Exact dues and amenity inclusions vary by franchise location.
Core
Varies- Membership cost
- $26.99 - $54.99/mo
Mid tier with broader benefits and amenities depending on the club.
Ultimate
Varies- Membership cost
- $29.99 - $59.99/mo
Top tier that typically adds guest privileges and premium amenity access where offered.
Note: Pricing may vary by region.
Flex runs $19.99 to $44.99 a month, Core $26.99 to $54.99 and Ultimate $29.99 to $59.99. The bands are wide because franchisees set their own dues, and the same club can sit well below or above the middle of one.
None of the three tiers lists the sauna as included or excluded. Where a club has one it comes with the membership, and where a club has none no tier supplies it, so the club is the thing to check.
Sauna rules at Retro Fitness
Retro Fitness sets no chain-wide sauna policy, so each club posts its own. The usual house rules apply:
- Shower before you go in.
- Sit on a towel.
- Keep a session to 15 to 20 minutes.
- Step out if you feel lightheaded.
How to verify that your club has a sauna
The club’s own page lists the facilities, and that is the same source this count comes from. A sauna can close for repairs without the page changing.
Official Club Finder
Navigate to the Retro Fitness website and check the "Features" tab on your specific club page. Look for "Sauna" or "Recovery" labels.
Google Maps Reviews
Search for "sauna" within the review section of your local club on Google Maps to find member photos and operational status updates.
Direct Call Verification
The most reliable method. Call the front desk to confirm the sauna is currently functional and not closed for maintenance.
