Saunas and steam rooms in Greenwich

Why use a steam room or sauna?

Discover how a steam room or sauna can help you relax and reinvigorate yourself at your local Better leisure centre. Sauna or steam rooms are said to help with: 

  • Recovery after a workout - the warmth of a steam room or sauna can help relax muscles and recover quicker
  • Pain relief - studies have shown that saunas can help relieve chronic pain
  • Blood pressure - the act of relaxing and escaping for a moment or two from the big wide world can help lower your blood pressure
  • Cholesterol - a sauna or steam room acts similarly to moderate exercise and can lower cholesterol (not a replacement for exercise mind you) 
  • Mental health - the warm, enclosed space helps you relax and makes you feel good
  • Weight loss - again, a sauna or steam room does not replace a healthy diet and exercise but it making losing weight easier

Remember to stay hydrated after your time in the sauna or steam room. Find out about saunas and steam rooms in a Better leisure centre near you below.
