Hot room · 12 minutes

Heat

90 degrees on the top bench, 80 on the bottom. Water goes on the stones every ten minutes and the room lets you know about it.

Nobody talks much. You'll know when you've had enough; leave a minute before that.

The rinse · 1 minute

Rinse

Out of the heat and under the shower at 38 degrees: your own temperature, give or take.

It takes the sweat off and tells your skin what's coming. Don't skip it. The plunge is shared.

Cold plunge · 2 minutes

Cold

4 degrees. 2 tubs, 2 people each, 1.2 metres deep, so you're in to the shoulders.

First round, 1 minute. After that, 2. Breathe out for longer than you breathe in, and get out before you want to.

Rest room · 21 °C

Then rest

You lie down. 14 loungers, blankets, no phones and no music, for 10 minutes or until your heart has come back to its own speed.

Then you go round again. 3 rounds is a session.

What happens in each room

One session, 90 minutes. Arrive and change (10 min), then 3 rounds of the hot room (90 °C, 12 min), the rinse (38 °C, 1 min), the plunge (4 °C, 2 min) and the rest room (21 °C, 10 min), then 5 minutes to shower and dress. Shaded: time in the heat.
