Our Sauna & Ice Bath Recovery Room combines heat and cold therapy to accelerate muscle repair, reduce soreness, and recharge your energy after intense sessions. Feel the difference in your body’s recovery, flexibility, and performance all in one powerful recovery experience.
Start light, build gradually, and pay attention to how your body responds. The sauna and ice bath combo is about balance — recovery through contrast. Hydrate before, during, and after your session. Feel the reset.
If you have cardiovascular concerns, high blood pressure, are pregnant, or take prescription medication, speak to your GP first. Enter and exit slowly, breathe through your nose, and avoid holding your breath in cold water. Stop if you feel lightheaded. Our team is nearby to help and answer questions.
