Our Story

House of Cypress was born from a lifelong passion for movement, strength, and recovery. Fitness has always been a part of my life, but my understanding of true well-being changed forever after a trip to Finland—my wife’s homeland.

While in Finland, I was introduced to the traditional hot rock sauna and ice plunges. It was instant love for me—the intense heat, the icy cold refreshment, the feeling of complete rejuvenation. I became addicted to the cycle of extreme heat and cold, visiting the sauna daily and embracing the deep recovery benefits it offered.

That experience reshaped my approach to fitness and recovery. I realized that true strength isn’t just about training—it’s about how well your body recovers, how resilient you feel, and how you maintain health for life.

Recognizing the power of both movement and recovery, I envisioned a brand that would bring these elements together—offering high-quality fitness equipment and powerful recovery tools like saunas, ice baths, and compression therapy.

That vision became House of Cypress—a brand built on strength, resilience, and holistic wellness. Our mission is simple: to help people move better, recover smarter, and build lifelong strength.
