Ice Bath (Recovery Zone)
Why Use an Ice Bath?
Cold water immersion is a simple recovery tool that can help the body feel refreshed after exercise, sport or a demanding week.
Our ice bath provides controlled cold-water exposure in a dedicated recovery environment. It can be used on its own or combined with the infrared sauna for a hot-and-cold recovery session.
Benefits of Ice Bath Recovery
Using an ice bath may help with:
- Muscle soreness after exercise or sport
- Recovery between training sessions
- Feeling refreshed after heavy training
- Temporary relief from aches and tired muscles
- Relaxation and general wellbeing
You don’t need to be an athlete to use it — the ice bath can be incorporated into a recovery routine that works for you.

Who Can Use the Ice Bath?
The ice bath may be suitable for:

Cold-water immersion isn’t appropriate for everyone. If you have cardiovascular or circulation concerns, are pregnant, or have a medical condition that may be affected by cold exposure, please speak with your GP before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer combined sauna and ice bath sessions for people who would like to incorporate both heat and cold into their recovery routine.
It depends on your goal. Cold-water immersion can be useful when short-term recovery is the priority, particularly around sport or competition. If your main goal is building strength or muscle, regular cold-water immersion immediately after training may not always be ideal. Our physios can help you decide how best to incorporate it into your training.
