Benefits of a Sauna
There are many benefits of sauna-ing; here are a few…
Makes a happy & health heart
Studies have proven using a sauna 4-7 times a week reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 58%. The heat also helps widen blood vessels and improves circulation, reducing blood pressure.
Improve athletic performance
Heat conditioning sends more blood to the heart. More blood flows, and more oxygen is delivered throughout the body, fueling athletic performance and can increase muscle function and recovery.
Supercharges your cells
Heat has been proven to positively impact your mitochondria (the batteries that power your cells), helping your body naturally produce more energy. This can help you to stay fit and can also help to slow down the ageing process!
Increase your brain power
Regular sauna use activates the growth of new brain cells and can improve its function in learning and memory. Studies have also shown using a sauna 4-7 times a week reduces the likelihood of developing dementia by 66%.
Boosts your immune system
Exposure to heat stimulates the body’s natural immune system and can help detoxify and excrete toxins. It has also been shown to increase metabolism, helping with weight loss and reduction in body fat.
Care for your mental health
Time spent simply sitting, talking, and connecting with friends and family, sharing an experience without distractions, increases your endorphins and benefits your overall mood and emotional health.
Group & Private Saunas
We offer a selection of both group and private slots every Saturday & Sunday
