Pure Sweat + Float Studio sits on Prospect St NW in Georgetown, focused on two things: infrared sauna sessions and float therapy. Sauna sessions run 45 minutes inside private Sunlighten cabin suites that deliver far, mid, and near infrared wavelengths, with chromotherapy lighting and entertainment options to personalize the time. Each session ends with a chilled peppermint oil cloth, and hydration is part of the setup throughout.

Float sessions come in 40- or 60-minute blocks, taken in private suites holding roughly 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt water. Each float suite has its own shower, fresh towels, and natural care products, so there's a full rinse-off and reset built into the visit. A curated music playlist is available for those who want sound rather than silence while floating.

The studio runs on membership and reservations rather than drop-in visits — there's no day pass and no walk-in access, so sessions need to be booked ahead through the website or by phone. Hours stretch from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, with shorter weekend hours on Saturday (9–5) and Sunday (10–5). Pricing falls in the moderate range for the category. This is a single-purpose studio rather than a full spa menu — no broader treatment list, just sauna and float, done in private suites rather than shared rooms.
