At American Sauna, we believe a sauna should be more than a structure. It should be an experience built with intention. Whether you choose one of our thoughtfully engineered sauna kits or a fully custom indoor or outdoor build, every project is crafted with precision and backed by years of hands-on expertise.
After years of studying sauna construction and researching facilities nationwide, Joel recognized a gap between what most saunas promise and how they actually perform.
These details matter and they’re often overlooked.
American Sauna was created to ensure every build meets a higher standard of safety, longevity, and true therapeutic performance.
From private residences to fitness facilities and professional teams, every project is built with precision and guided by strict performance standards.
Our thoughtfully engineered sauna kits are built using the same structural and performance principles as our custom builds, designed for proper heat, ventilation, and long-term durability.
Joel Taylor’s path to American Sauna wasn’t theoretical — it was personal.
A former collegiate athlete who also spent a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins, Joel has always valued performance. But in 2019, he received a wake-up call: he was diagnosed as pre-diabetic.
Rather than accept it, he rebuilt his life from the ground up. Through disciplined nutrition, strength training, breathwork, and consistent hot and cold exposure, Joel reversed the condition, significantly improved his A1C, lost weight, gained muscle, and reduced his biological age by nearly a decade. That transformation became the foundation of American Sauna.
Today, every sauna we build reflects the same philosophy that changed his health — longevity is trainable, resilience is earned, and recovery is not a luxury… it’s a daily practice.
