High-End Fitness Club
May 22, 2012 | "We wanted to look different, feel different from not having a front desk to not using a card to get in. Just make it feel and look different," dFine Private Fitness Club Mark Bartels said. Owners hope you'll see something unique from the moment you enter this gym, beginning with the finger scan machine that gets you in the
door. SIOUX FALLS, SD - Starting your own business is a big risk, but a Sioux Falls duo is putting as much weight behind theirs as they possibly can. "We wanted to bring that personal touch back to the gyms," Burke said. Bartels and Dave Burke's club on the
corner of Minnesota Avenue and West 69th Street has been open for about a month now. The two have spent their careers as trainers and decided it was time to open their own gym. "It's exciting and at the same, it's scary," Bartels said. "You work so hard on your dream that you want it to succeed.

What materials are best for Sauna door that opens to steam shower?
Aug 28, 2008 by Charissa S.
We're doing a residential bathroom where a 4'x6' Sauna Room opens up into a Steam Shower. I've heard it's best to avoid wood in the Steam Shower, but what can we do when the Sauna interior is Cedar, and the Steam Shower must be all glass & ceramic tile? Will a Wood Framed Glass Door hold up over time? Appreciate any advice anyone might have!
I expect a glass door with a frame made from cedar, cypress ,redwood or black locust would all do the job. The other option would be aluminum and glass though it will cost you. Have some space in the grooves that hold the glass panels so that the wood can expand and contract, they even make things called space balls that keep the panel centered in this type of situation.
Best of luck,
We just installed a cedar sauna. Painter wants to seal the outside of the door. Should we? If so, with what?

With a matte clear coat to protect the wood from the steam generated by the sauna. The rest of the unit will be supported by each opposing wall and thus have a propensity to remain square, but the door is on hinges and needs to seal perfectly without warping from moisture. Also if the unit is oudoors the same applies from weather.
