What it's like

Recovery Room is a contrast therapy studio at 52 Lansdowne Place, Hove. The saunas are infrared rather than traditional Finnish. The venue gives the sauna temperature as 55 to 65°C. The cold plunges are kept at 5 to 8°C.

It is small. Up to three people share a timeslot and the venue caps the space at six. It has more than one infrared sauna but doesn't say how many, or how many plunges.

A session is 60 minutes and covers changing and showering time as well as the sauna and plunge. Showers are stocked with Cowshed toiletries. Bring swimwear and a towel; the towel is compulsory to sit on in the sauna, and you can rent one for £1.

The venue says its team can guide you through the recommended protocols, whether you're after performance recovery, immune support or pure relaxation. Members of Reformer Collective and ROX get a discount.

Who it's for

People who want to try a hot-cold routine without the cost of a long session, and regulars who will use the packs. Small groups can ask about exclusive use.
