Frequently Asked Questions
Our premises are fitted with two luxurious custom-built Infrared Saunas, an Ice Bath and a sensory deprivation Magnesium Float Tank.
Our spacious infrared saunas were designed and built to accommodate 5-6 people comfortably and are something to be experienced as you relax and unwind.
Our saunas use the highest quality long wave or far-infrared (FIR) panels. FIR has the longest wave length and can penetrate the deepest into the body, effortlessly penetrating the muscles, connective tissues and joints. FIR is often associated with various health benefits including pain relief, relaxation and detoxification.
Our Ice Bath and sensory deprivation Magnesium Float Tank are manufactured by Dreampod who are industry leaders in purpose built commercial float, plunge and soak equipment. Our equipment is temperature controlled at all times and has automated cleaning cycles after each use providing our customers with the most consistent and hygienic floating and plunging experience possible.
