Sauna & Steam

Relaxing in a sauna or steam cabin after a work out or swim is the ideal way to relax, refresh and give yourself a thorough deep cleanse.

There are also health benefits associated with hot bathing including improved blood circulation, easing muscle tension, reducing stress and promoting good sleep.

Saunas are typically associated with Finland and the Nordic countries but hot bathing has been around for thousands of years with variations in many different cultures including Roman thermae, the Middle Eastern hammam and Russian banya. Relaxing and bathing in public facilities is certainly nothing new!
