Question 6

How do I book a session with Glasgow Community Sauna?

Accepted Answer

Pick a date from the calendar, choose an available time slot, enter your details, and complete payment if the session is paid. You will receive a confirmation email with a link to manage the booking.

Question 7

Do I need an account to book?

Accepted Answer

Not if you have not booked here before. You can book as a guest using just your email address. If you already have an account with that address you are asked to sign in first, and an account makes managing future bookings easier.

Question 8

Can I book the same session every week automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. Bookings are made one at a time, so pick the date and time you want on each occasion. Anything you have already booked is listed on your account page.

Question 9

How far ahead can I book?

Accepted Answer

For regular sessions you can book up to 60 days ahead. Dates further out appear on the booking page closer to the time. Some sessions are one-off dates, or run to a set end date, so they do not follow this window. Members can book further ahead - see memberships.

Question 10

How late can I book?

Accepted Answer

Bookings stay open until the session ends, so you can still book a session that has already started. Once a session has finished it comes off the booking page.

Question 11

What payment methods are accepted?

Accepted Answer

Payment methods are set by the venue and vary by region, typically card payments, with mobile wallets and local bank-debit options where the venue has enabled them. Memberships and Bundles unlock reduced prices automatically when you are signed in.

Question 12

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Accepted Answer

You can reschedule up to 12 hours before the session starts using the manage link in your confirmation email. To cancel, contact Glasgow Community Sauna. If the venue cancels a paid booking on your behalf, contact Glasgow Community Sauna about your payment.

Question 13

What happens if a session is cancelled?

Accepted Answer

You will get an email letting you know. Payments are not refunded automatically, so contact Glasgow Community Sauna about your payment.

Question 14

What does a membership include?

Accepted Answer

Toasty Flame 🔥 includes 4 sessions each billing period and booking 30 days further ahead than non-members. Sauna Patron ❤️‍🔥 includes 5 sessions each billing period and booking 30 days further ahead than non-members. Roastin' Flame 🔥🔥 includes 8 sessions each billing period and booking 30 days further ahead than non-members.

Question 15

Can members book earlier than everyone else?

Accepted Answer

All 3 memberships - Toasty Flame 🔥, Sauna Patron ❤️‍🔥 and Roastin' Flame 🔥🔥 - can book 30 days further ahead than non-members. Earlier dates appear on the booking page once you are signed in.

Question 16

Do included sessions roll over?

Accepted Answer

No. Included sessions are counted against the period the session takes place in, so anything you have not used when a new period starts is not carried over. An included session is counted when you book, and it is returned to the period the session sat in if you cancel.

Question 17

What happens to my bookings if my membership ends?

Accepted Answer

Bookings that used a session included in your membership are cancelled if the session is after your membership ends, and you will get an email about each one. Anything extra you paid on those bookings is refunded. Sessions before your membership ends are not affected, and if you cancel, your membership keeps working until the end of the period you have paid for.

Question 18

How does my membership apply when I book?

Accepted Answer

Sign in with the email address your membership is under and book as normal. Your membership is applied automatically at checkout. One included session covers one space on the booking, and any extra spaces on the same booking are charged at the usual price.

Question 19

How do I change or cancel my membership?

Accepted Answer

To move to a different membership, go to your account page and choose Change plan. To update your card or cancel, open Manage payment. If you cannot make the change you need there, contact Glasgow Community Sauna.

Question 20

Can I buy a gift voucher?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gift vouchers can be bought for Glasgow Community Sauna from the gift vouchers page. Pick a voucher, add a personal message, and the recipient receives a code by email that they redeem at checkout.

Question 21

How do Bundles work?

Accepted Answer

A Bundle is a set of sessions bought up front at a lower price than booking them one at a time. Once you have bought one, it is applied automatically when you book an eligible session while signed in with the same email address.

Question 22

Do I need to sign a waiver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You are asked to read and agree to the venue's waiver when you book, and your agreement covers the spaces on your booking. If the wording changes you are asked to agree again the next time you book.

Question 23

Who do I contact about my booking?

Accepted Answer

Bookings are handled by Glasgow Community Sauna, so email support@glasgowcommunitysauna.co.uk. Have your booking reference from your confirmation email to hand and they can find it straight away.
