Planning tips before you book
- Confirm the same-day schedule and try booking outside peak evening slots for a quieter experience.
- Bring water, flip-flops, and comfortable swimwear even when the venue includes a spa kit.
- If this is your first session, start with shorter heat blocks and increase gradually based on tolerance.
- Use the official links below to verify current access rules, pricing, and availability before heading out.
Sample pacing for a balanced session
For most visitors, a comfortable session is two to three short heat rounds with breaks between each round. Instead of chasing maximum duration, the goal is consistency, hydration, and a steady recovery pace. That usually reduces dizziness risk and leads to a better post-session experience.
If you are combining heat with cold exposure, keep the progression gradual and always finish with a short rest window before leaving. If you have a medical condition, confirm with a healthcare professional that this heat-cold protocol is appropriate for your situation.
