Infrared sauna

Our Vidalux high-quality full-spectrum infrared sauna is unrivalled. Nothing else on the market offers the same level of benefits or design.

Vidalux’s innovative ‘Complete Heat Technology’ delivers the best and healthiest sauna experience by combining high-quality FAR carbon heaters with quartz-embedded full-spectrum heaters.

Alongside this patented technology, you’ll find a soft-touch digital control panel, chromotherapy starlights and a whole host of media options.

Our infrared sauna is not only a more comfortable alternative to traditional saunas and steam rooms, it has additional health and wellbeing benefits too. For people who find the heat in a traditional sauna too intense, or simply don’t enjoy sitting in a hot, ill-lit room with half-naked strangers, an infrared sauna is a great alternative: the heating effect is much more gentle and you get to sit in the sauna alone, with your own choice of music if you like. All round, a session in our infrared sauna is a deeply relaxing experience which improves blood flow, eases pain and has a wide range of health benefits.

Improved sleep

Unlike traditional saunas, which operate at extreme and harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep.

Fitness and recovery

Studies have shown that an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories, all while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.

Relaxation

Our infrared therapy soothes your mind by enveloping your body in relaxing warmth. Our sauna is designed for maximum comfort, allowing you to loosen not only your body but your mind. Practising mindful meditation in a sauna session can also help with mental stress reduction. Alone time is maximised, giving you an opportunity to reflect and move on from the stresses of the day.

Reduce pain

Infrared saunas are widely used and incorporated into treatment plans by pain management specialists as a way to decrease muscle pain and aches and to speed up recovery time. The infrared sauna’s heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve a wide range of aches and pains, even chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.

Recovery Zone

Our Recovery Zone is an area in reception with 2 zero gravity chairs, an area to stretch and equipment to aid recovery. Take a few minutes before or after your session to sit back, stretch and recover. There is a hot drink station too, and headphones if you want to switch off for a bit.

Watch a short tour of the Recovery Zone further down this page.

Compression therapy

We have compression boots and hip attachments. They use air chambers that inflate and deflate in sequence, applying gentle, rhythmic pressure around your legs and hips while you sit back in one of our zero gravity chairs. Many people like to use them after training so their legs feel lighter and more relaxed. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, please check with your GP or midwife before using compression therapy, and let the team know.

Massage gun

A massage gun is a handheld device that gives quick, gentle pulses to your muscles. Use it on areas that feel tight after training, keep it moving, and avoid bones, joints and any injured areas. Ask a coach if you would like a quick demo.

Foam roller

Foam rolling is a simple form of self-massage: you use your own body weight to roll slowly over a firm foam roller. It is a popular part of a warm-up or cool-down for areas such as the calves, thighs and upper back. Go at your own pace and stop if anything feels painful.

Stretching area

There is space in the Recovery Zone to stretch out before or after your session, at your own pace.
