There are endless ways to get the most out of the Recovery Zone, but we recommend the following:
Start fully-clothed with activities wearing athletic gear:
1) 20 minute warm-up

5) 20 minute Infrared Sauna
- Infrared sauna requires a reservation either through our online booking system or at front desk.
Continue with activities in your swim suit:
6) 45 minute Contrast Hydrotherapy = Hot/Cold Therapy
- Contrast hydrotherapy is the alternating of heat and cold application to achieve an invigorating vascular flush effect for the whole body.
- Heat causes our blood vessels to dilate (get bigger), allowing circulation to increase, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to body tissues.
- Cold causes our blood vessels to constrict (get smaller), gently forcing blood back to the heart and lungs where carbon dioxide and metabolic waste can be excreted from the body.
- Alternate between heat (infrared sauna, cedar sauna, aromatherapy steam room) and cold (polar plunge), starting with heat and ALWAYS ending with cold.
- Repeat this cycle 3 times for best results. The ideal ratio is 10 min heat to 3 min cold, however, listen to your body and do what is comfortable for you.
7) 20 minute Recovery Lounge
- Take a moment to enjoy the effects of Recovery Zone in the serenity of the Recovery Lounge.
- Enjoy a complementary tea in our relaxation haven.
Keep the following principles in mind and create your own Recovery Zone Routine!
1) Divide your visit into DRY & WET
2) HEAT then COLD, Repeat 3 times, ALWAYS ending with COLD
3) Stay Hydrated
4) Enjoy Every Minute!
