HOT/COLD THERAPY
Outdoor Infrared Sauna + Cold Plunge
Hot/Cold Therapy is here! An enjoyable and effective wellness add-on to our current fitness offerings, amidst the 'urban cottage' setting of our outdoor backyard space.
As part of our new offerings, we have an Infrared Sauna on the back balcony, so you can look out to the trees as you soak up the benefits of infrared heat. You’ll see our permanent filtered plunge tub in the backyard just below, for the option to brave the benefits of cold water therapy as well.
Depending on the season or your feels that day, you can choose to benefit from our Hot/Cold therapy circuit or just enjoy the Infrared Sauna for the duration of your session.

Benefits of Infrared
Better sleep, relaxation, relief from sore muscles and joint pain, skin & circulation improvements, open bloods vessels for circulation improvement, post workout (within 12 hours) metabolic benefits. Oh and it just feels good to be in hot dome alone that smells like wood with a view of trees.
Benefits of Cold Plunging
Decreased inflammation and muscle soreness, increased dopamine, metabolic boost, improved sleep, promotion of lymphatic drainage, bravery. Many similar benefits to heat, but with an added wheee! Combined, the two are a great pair.
Our Process
This is not a bougie spa experience - think more 'urban cottage'. The Infrared Sauna is on the back balcony, just off the vestibule/kitchen room. The sauna will be turned on before you arrive and you'll have 15, 30 or 45 minutes to enjoy. Within that time frame you can do the Hot/Cold circuit suggestions or stay in the sauna the whole time.
Hot/Cold Circuits
Cold Plunges should be maximum 3 minutes. For instance, 10 minutes warming in the sauna, cold plunge, get back into the sauna for the remaining time. After a class, you could go right into the plunge! We will have circuit suggestions ready for you to follow and you can double your booking if you want more time.
Preparation
We have bath towels, but you will need to bring your own robe (optional), bathing suit and sandals. There will be sweat towels and a water bucket for quick post-sauna rinse, but if you want a full shower, we have 2 private shower rooms in the basement level. We also have complimentary teas and coffee to add to your experience.
