I turned my garage into a wellness hub for $10,000. Now my friends come over for the sauna and cold plunge, not drinks.
Rather than let clutter take over his garage, Jayden Lee transformed it into a wellness hub where he and his friends can use a sauna and cold plunge.
Jayden Lee, a 27-year-old real estate agent from Vancouver, transformed his garage into a private wellness hub for about $10,000. The project, completed in September 2024, included a sauna, cold plunge, and red-light therapy machine. Lee's goal was to create a space where he could host friends for healthy, productive activities rather than just socializing over drinks.
The garage, originally a storage area, was repainted, fitted with artificial grass, and decorated with patio lights to create an outdoor feel. The sauna was the most expensive component, costing about $4,000, followed by the $3,000 cold plunge. Lee uses the space daily, starting his day with a plunge in cold water and ending with a session in the sauna to unwind.
He finds the space significantly improves his mental and physical well-being, providing a calm and energized state that helps him handle stress better. Lee's transformation has been well-received, with his social media posts garnering over a million views, indicating a growing interest in dedicated wellness spaces at home.
