Sauna benefits

Improved circulation: The warmth generated in sauna increases blood flow, supporting healthy circulation throughout your body.

Muscle relaxation: Unwind after a workout as the comforting heat relieves muscle tension and aids in recovery.

Detoxification: Embrace a cleansing experience as perspiration flushes out toxins, promoting clearer skin and overall wellness.

Stress relief: Allow the gentle heat to alleviate stress and enhance mental well-being.

Sauna FAQs

Is there an age restriction?

Over 16s only are permitted to use the sauna. For that reason you must register to book, either via our Better UK app, online, or a reception when you visit the centre.

How long can I stay in the sauna?

It's recommended to limit your time in the sauna to 15-20 minutes, with breaks in between to cool down and rehydrate.

Are there any precautions I should be aware of before using the sauna?

Before using the sauna, individuals with specific medical conditions should seek advice from their doctor. Caution is advised for pregnant women, individuals with heart conditions, those with high or low blood pressure and anyone taking certain medications. Always prioritise your health and wellbeing and consult with a staff member if you have any concerns.

What should I wear to the sauna?

It is suggested to wear swimwear or minimal, loose fitting clothing that can tolerate high temperatures. Sitting on towels is common for hygienic purposes.
