JOY Wellness Club only opened earlier this year, and I’d been wanting to check it out ever since I started seeing it pop up all over my Instagram feed. So when I won tickets to their Sauna Rave through an Instagram giveaway in July, I was genuinely excited to finally experience it for myself. I’m much more of a spa girl than a party girl, so the idea of combining saunas, cold plunges, and wellness with the energy of a rave immediately caught my attention. I’d never been to a rave before, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The evening centered around a wellness circuit where you could move freely between the sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, dance floor, and lounge space at your own pace. Whether you wanted to dance for a while, join a guided sauna session, strike up a conversation, or simply relax between rounds, there was no right or wrong way to experience it. The guided sauna session ended up being one of my favorite parts of the night. It encouraged everyone to breathe deeply, let go of their inhibitions, and be fully present. Paired with the DJ and live drummer, it created an atmosphere that somehow felt both energizing and grounding at the same time. I also really appreciated the people JOY attracted. I went with my friend Jules, met some new people throughout the evening, and loved how diverse and inclusive the crowd felt. It wasn’t trying to recreate a nightclub. It felt like a space where people could connect through wellness instead. As everyone was leaving, we were invited to repeat one final affirmation together: “I am essential. This space wouldn’t be the same without me.” It was such a beautiful way to end the evening, and honestly, it’s the part that’s stayed with me the most. I’ll definitely be back to experience JOY on a regular day. The Sauna Rave was a memorable introduction, but now I’m curious to try some of their guided meditations, workout classes, and other wellness experiences.
My experience at Joy Spa was amazing! I got the chance to try one of the sauna experience, the cold plunge, the red light therapy and thermal bath. The staff was very helpful and explained everything to us thoroughly. Highly recommend Joy Spa!
What a JOY it was to experience this space! I especially loved Alison’s guided class on gratitude. She has such an amazing energy, I felt so grounded and peaceful as she led us through the ritual that included the sauna with essential oils, cold plunge, tuning forks, and a small sharing circle at the end. It’s a great place to connect and socialize, all while relaxing with the complementary adaptogenic mushroom teas and electrolytes to stay hydrated. The amenities are all top notch, super clean, and added to the luxurious feel of the day. I’ll definitely be back! 💫
This was the a highlight of our visit to Montreal. It was walking distance from our hotel to pop in for a morning session. They have good packages for travellers or drop ins. The place was very well thought out and the staff were both wonderful and welcoming. I loved the cold and hot pools, the sauna and the lovely blend of aroma therapy. The red light made my skin glow and I felt refreshed and ready to do all the walking and experiencing Montreal! Thank you so much and a special thanks to Roxanne and Chloe for being so accommodating for our mother/daughter group!! 🤗 can’t wait to come back!
Absolutely amazing space to rest and relax. I did this incredible Fire session that had a wonderful mix of cold plunge and sauna aromatherapy. I would highly recommend this to help take the stress of the day off.
