Want to turn your backyard into a booming (6-figure) business?
Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent craving a flexible income, an aspiring entrepreneur ready to take the leap, or someone dreaming of launching a home recovery setup—this is for you.
You can’t just drop a sauna and ice bath in the yard and expect the cash to roll in. Council rules, health & safety regulations, insurances—it’s a maze. And getting clients? That’s a whole other beast.
There’s a strategy behind the success—and that’s exactly what we lay out in the Sweat & Chill Playbook.
Anna S Testimonial
I Sold My Car to Buy a Sauna. No Joke.
Hey, I’m Chelle—founder of Sweat & Chill, mum of two, and accidental entrepreneur.
It all started with a phone call…
We’d been renting in North Beach for five years when, in September 2022, our landlord called:“I’m selling the house.”We didn’t want to move.I’m originally from Brisbane and had a nearly paid-off property I bought at 23. The market was booming. So I said to my husband Brendo:“If we sell Brisbane, we can buy North Beach.”
Things moved quickly…
>May 5th 2023: Brisbane property settled
>May 9th 2023: We settled on North Beach
>May 13th 2022: I got made redundant... 18 weeks pregnant with baby #2
Yeah… F*k.
Our yard was a dump.
Dirt. Weeds. Dead lawn. Even our dog Rich, wouldn’t lie on it.
Brendo had always wanted a sauna, just for personal use. We planned to pop one in the storeroom, but things shifted fast.
With our backgrounds in health and fitness, we put our heads together.
In 48 hours we had a game plan:
A home recovery business with an outdoor sauna and ice bath. Laid-back, no-fluff, recovery meets chilled craft beer vibes.
Not your typical day spa.
In just 6 weeks we:
>Ordered the sauna
>Landscaped the entire front yard
>Installed plumbing, power, and an outdoor shower
>Launched Sweat & Chill
Sounds quick, right?
Don’t be fooled—this ride was anything but smooth.
Behind that launch was hustle, chaos, wild pivots… and some seriously expensive lessons.
Stick around—because it’s about to get real juicy, and what we learnt could fast-track your success big time.
My first goal? $420/week.
(That’s what I was earning working 12 hours part-time.)
Week 1: $429.90
Week 8: $2,399.41
From then on we only ever had 4 weeks under $2K (thanks to power outages, public holidays and more landscaping
Year 1 revenue… $111,393.95
Pretty cool
We Didn’t Just Launch... We Dominated
>Top of Google search for sauna and ice bath in our area
>107 x 5-star Google reviews
>579 x 5-star Fresha reviews
In a booming industry, we made sure we stood out
And here’s our edge…We had in-house support from Fitfam—my husband’s business and one of Australia’s leading fitness marketing and content creation agencies.
That gave us a massive advantage—branding, content, SEO, social media, strategy—we had the tools most new businesses only dream of.
We made the mistakes—so you don’t have to.
From costly trial-and-error to booking system nightmares, we’ve lived it all.
Like the time our first ice bath chiller completely caved after only 4 weeks under the pressure of 50 sessions a week. We blew hundreds on bags of ice, even bought a commercial ice machine just to keep that water temperature optimal.
We’re now onto chiller number FIVE… and trust me, we know exactly what to look for (and what to avoid).
Or the lovely neighbour who reported us to the council… multiple times… because of parking, water disposal and noise. Yes, we navigated compliance, complaints, and came out stronger.
Or those fun early days when our booking system would crash non-stop, payments wouldn’t process, and clients were left hanging if their booking had even gone through. It was like running a business on a spreadsheet from 2003.
Total chaos.
But we sorted it fast. And that’s why we created the Sweat & Chill Playbook. It gives you the exact roadmap we used—minus the guesswork.
Because let’s be real:
Doing it wrong is expensive. Doing it right?
Profitable from the start.
