Your recovery, your rhythm
Heat. Cold.
Or simply pause.
Book a 1-hour sauna and ice bath session. Stay for as long or as little as you like: that hour is yours. Use the sauna, the ice bath, or move between both at a pace that feels right for you. You do not need to follow a rigid contrast routine.
Recovery sessions can sit alongside your training, on a rest day or whenever you want dedicated time to slow down. New visitors receive clear arrival and preparation guidance before their booking.
