Most people do have a bathtub at home.

You will have to get a little pool thermometer and make sure you're at 140 Fahrenheit.

So you might have to constantly refill the bath for it to stay hot for 20 minutes.

But it's also more accessible, I think, now where it's like, well, people might go, I don't have a sauna.

And maybe they don't have a gym membership and their gym doesn't have a sauna.
