The Schvitz features two saunas, a pool, and seating areas, making it a beautiful space with many nooks to relax and spread out. The club is a popular spot for relaxation, meeting new people, and enjoying camaraderie. Guests can enjoy a patio area and a range of snacks for purchase, including some of the best burgers and steaks around. The club does not allow outside food and does not currently offer memberships or deals. Visitors can bring their own robe and sandals or rent them on-site. Large lockers are available for free, though it is encouraged to bring a lock for valuables. The club has designated men's, women's, and coed hours.
