Balancing beauty, craftsmanship, and health in Coeur d’Alene
By Like Media Team
At Symmetry Sauna Studio in Coeur d’Alene, balance isn’t just an idea—it’s a way of life. Founded by Joe Cruz, Sam Rogers, Steve Simar, and Heather Gallegos, the company began as HeatPraxia and has evolved into a unified brand representing both exquisite design and holistic wellness. The rebrand reflects the growth of their national custom sauna designer company, Symmetry Sauna, and the continued success of their local sauna studio, a place where intention and artistry come together under one name.
To the team, “symmetry” signifies harmony in creation, beauty balanced with purpose. Every element, whether a handcrafted sauna or a wellness session, is designed to restore equilibrium to both body and mind.
Before it became a nationally recognized custom sauna designer, Symmetry Sauna was born inside the studio. Each design emerged from firsthand experience, built to serve, to heal, and to last. That perspective has become the foundation of their craftsmanship today.
Unlike most manufacturers, Symmetry Sauna operates with a deep understanding of what makes a sauna truly exceptional for daily use. Their saunas are built with the end user in mind: durable, visually stunning, and made to perform. “Every project begins with beauty and balance, because a beautiful sauna gets used more often, and regular use is where the benefits unfold,” says Heather.
Symmetry’s client list spans the nation, from homeowners creating wellness spaces to commercial clients including gyms, spas, professional sports teams, and other sauna studio owners. Each collaboration is guided by the same principle—to create something extraordinary that stands the test of time.
The team is also introducing new products that open exciting possibilities for design, including the Taive modular bench system, available exclusively through Symmetry, and new heat-tolerant lighting options that elevate the sauna experience.
While the custom build division takes the brand nationwide, Symmetry Sauna Studio brings that same philosophy home to Coeur d’Alene. Visitors are greeted with warmth, both from the staff and the soothing atmosphere of the space. First-time guests receive a guided tour and introduction to the studio’s practice and amenities.
Inside this contrast therapy studio, guests experience traditional sauna sessions, cold plunges, halo therapy, and red light therapy, all designed to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support mental clarity. The studio also offers breathwork, Pilates, yoga, and strength classes, along with community workshops led by local wellness professionals.
Regular sauna use, four to seven times per week, can cut the risk of all-cause mortality in half. It promotes active recovery, boosts cardiovascular health, and protects lean muscle mass. Beyond the physical, clients often notice improved mood, better sleep, and stronger stress resilience. “All of our practices are holistic and work on the whole person,” shares Heather. “It’s not just about physical recovery—it’s about creating balance in the body and calm in the mind.” Every detail within the studio mirrors the same care and precision seen in their custom saunas. Materials, lighting, and layout have all been refined to create a setting that feels as restorative as it looks.
Coeur d’Alene was a natural home for Symmetry Sauna Studio. It’s where the owners live, work, and find inspiration. When their first location flooded in early 2024, the outpouring of community support was overwhelming. Many customers stood by them, waiting patiently until their grand reopening 14 months later.
The team now looks forward to continued growth, including two new Symmetry Sauna Outdoor studios in Woodinville and Vantage, Washington. Whether designing world-class saunas or offering rejuvenating sessions in their Coeur d’Alene studio, their mission remains the same: to bring balance, beauty, and wellness to every person they serve.
Experience wellness redefined at Symmetry Sauna Studio, where craftsmanship and care meet in perfect symmetry.
