Social Sauna

Drop-in access to social saunas at 90°C, used for heat adaptation, cardiovascular conditioning, and contrast therapy alongside ice baths. No booking required.

The Ice Bath Club's social saunas run at 90°C and are positioned as the heat counterpart to the cold plunge — together forming a contrast therapy protocol that alternates between thermal extremes to maximise cardiovascular adaptation and recovery outcomes. Sauna use at this temperature range stimulates heat shock protein (HSP) production, improves endothelial function, and has accumulating evidence for cardiovascular health benefits including reductions in all-cause mortality risk with frequent use (Finnish sauna literature, Laukkanen et al.). The social format distinguishes TIBC's sauna experience from gym saunas: the space is designed for conversation and community, reflecting the club's positioning as a recovery hub rather than a transactional fitness facility. Members typically cycle between sauna rounds (10–20 minutes) and cold plunge (3–10 minutes), with rest intervals at room temperature. This contrast protocol is commonly used by endurance athletes, team sport players, and biohackers seeking HRV improvement and sleep quality enhancement. Magnesium hot salt baths are also available at the facility as a third thermal modality. All sauna sessions are drop-in with no advance booking required, accessible Monday to Sunday from 7 AM to 10 PM. Membership tiers and day-pass pricing are available via the TIBC iOS and Android app.
