Sauna Club members are required to familiarise themselves with the Outdoor Sauna Rules before entering the sauna area, as these rules are applicable for everyone using the outdoor sauna. The NS Studio's House Rules apply to the outdoor sauna area.

10.6. Opening Hours, Events and SaunaGus Sessions

Members of the Sauna Club can access the outdoor sauna area during the Studio's regular opening hours, which are available on the Company's website. Please note that the Studio's opening hours may vary on public holidays. The Member may not use the outdoor sauna during SaunaGus sessions unless the Member has a SaunaGus session pass or pays an additional fee. Participants in SaunaGus sessions have first right of entry into the outdoor sauna area during SaunaGus sessions. The schedule of the SaunaGus sessions is available on the Studio's website.

The Company retains the authority to temporarily close the outdoor sauna area to all individuals, including Members, during events, except for those expressly invited to the event. In the event of such closures, the Company shall not be held responsible for providing compensation or refunds for any paid memberships, whether for closed days or reduced operating hours. The Company will notify Members in advance when the studio is scheduled to be closed for events. Events can be held on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

10.7. Temperature

The sauna temperature may vary throughout the day to accommodate changing weather conditions, and it may not be operational at all hours. The sauna is consistently active during the following times, on weekdays, except Fridays, when NS Studio is open: 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 8 pm, on Fridays: 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm, and on weekends: 8 am to 3 pm. If a Member wants to use the sauna outside of these hours, they should ask the Receptionist to activate it. It may take up to one hour for the sauna to reach the desired temperature.

10.8. Towel Rental and Shower Facilities

Members of the Sauna Club are responsible for bringing their own towels; however, they may rent a towel for 25 DKK at the NS Studio's reception. Rented towels are to be used exclusively on NS Studio’s premises and must be promptly returned after use. Used towels should be placed in the designated laundry baskets located within the outdoor sauna or in the NS Studio’s reception. Misappropriation or removal of towels from NS Studio's premises without authorization is a serious violation of the Terms and Conditions for Members at Nordic Strong and can result in expulsion, as outlined in paragraph 6.4.

The Member can use complimentary shower facilities provided by NS Studio. These facilities include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, handwash, body balm, hand balm, and a hair dryer. Please note that these complimentary shower items are the property of the Company and must not be taken off the premises. They are meant exclusively for use at NS Studio. Misappropriation or removal of these complimentary shower items from NS Studio's premises without authorization is a serious violation of these terms and conditions and can result in expulsion, as outlined in paragraph 6.4. If a member wishes to take these items home, they can purchase a new but similar product through the Company's website or at the NS Studio reception.
