TIME OUT: I sat in a sauna with 80 other people as we all gawked at the Aufguss Finals

Spread sweat, it's the Brooklyn way

Written by Naosha Gregg

I’ve always had a mundane experience with saunas. My routine with them was always uniform: take a dip in the pool, use the sauna to dry off, and go about my business. I never considered the space to be one of healing and community, especially as my focus was always on a test of endurance against the room's slowly rising temperature. So when I heard that Bathhouse was opening North America’s largest sauna in my humble abode, the borough of Brooklyn, and hosting the Aufguss finals, I was intrigued.
