Complimentary with membership

Recover
like a fighter.

Train hard, then recover right. The sauna and cold plunge circuit, outdoor shower, relaxation lounge, compression boots and massage gun all come complimentary with every Darkside membership.

Included, always

Part of your membership. No add on.

There's no extra fee and no separate booking. If you're a member, the recovery space is yours to use while the gym is open and staff are on site. Finish your rounds, step into the heat, cool off in the plunge, put your feet up in the lounge, and let the compression boots and massage gun work out what training left behind.

Open while staff are in the building, which follows the class schedule. The recovery space closes when the gym does, so plan your session around your class.

The heat

Sauna

A few minutes in the sauna after training is one of the best feelings in the gym. The warmth helps tight muscles loosen up, your breathing slows down, and the noise of a hard session fades out.

  • Warms and relaxes tight, worked muscles
  • Increases blood flow and circulation
  • Helps you unwind and let go of stress
  • Regular use has been linked in research to better sleep and heart health

The cold

Cold plunge

Cold water is a reset button. Step in, breathe slow, and let the cold wake up every part of you. Athletes have used cold water for years to bounce back between hard training days.

  • May reduce muscle soreness in the days after training
  • Leaves you feeling alert, clear headed, and refreshed
  • Builds calm under pressure as you learn to control your breathing
  • A natural mood lift that lasts well after you step out

The rinse

Outdoor shower

The outdoor shower sits right between the heat and the cold, so you can rinse off between rounds or freshen up before the drive home.

The calm

Relaxation lounge

A quiet place to sit down, slow your breathing, and cool off after training or between rounds of heat and cold.

The legs

Compression boots

Slip them on, sit back, and let them work your legs after a hard session of kicks and footwork.

  • Rhythmic compression from your feet up through your legs
  • May help tired legs feel fresher between training days
  • An easy way to rest while you recover

The tight spots

Massage gun

Work out the knots in your shoulders, calves, and anywhere else that took a beating in class.

  • Targets tight spots in a few minutes
  • May ease muscle tension after training
  • Simple to use on your own

More recovery tools are on the way as the space grows.

Contrast therapy

Hot. Cold.
Repeat.

Going back and forth between heat and cold is called contrast therapy, and many people find it leaves them feeling looser, lighter, and recharged. A simple routine to start:

  1. 0110 to 15 minutes in the sauna
  2. 021 to 3 minutes in the cold plunge
  3. 03A few minutes of rest and a rinse in the outdoor shower
  4. 04Repeat two or three times, and finish however feels best

Start with shorter sessions and build up as your body gets used to it.

Use it wisely

These are potential benefits, not medical promises, and everyone responds differently. Always check with your health care provider about safe use before you start, especially if you're pregnant or have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, or any other medical condition. Drink water before and after, skip it after drinking alcohol, and get out right away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
