Infrared Saunas – new tech for an ancient practice
Infrared saunas are “cooler” than traditional saunas. Instead of steam or flame-stoked heat, electromagnetic magic creates warmth at lower temperatures, allowing you to stay longer and gain all the therapeutic benefits of controlled exposure to heat.
You can stay in your normal gym clothes, though you will sweat! We invite you to slip into a robe and slippers provided in our Sauna Studio. A Be Well Keeper will show you how to select the heat you prefer (we recommend starting with 45% for 30 minutes, and building from there), the colour spectrum you want to use, and any music you might wish to listen to.
For those who wish, a cooling shower awaits you in our lovely bathrooms.

Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps to warm your body directly using electromagnetic energy, heating up your body before heating up the air.
Traditional saunas can be uncomfortable and cause difficulty with breathing at high temperatures, whereas infrared sauna cabins have lower temperatures and are a more comfortable alternative.

Hydroxy Airpod – An infusion of life-giving energy
The AirPod Hydroxy is a revolutionary wellness device incorporating oxygen therapy and hydrogen therapy. Oxygen gives us life, hydrogen reduces oxidative stress and, together, they positively impact organs and systems throughout the body.
You enter the Airpod fully clothed, sit back on a comfortable recliner, and simply relax. As you prefer, you might meditate (try our Muse headsets!), read, sleep, listen to music, whatever, as your cells dance.

The Hodroxy Airpod compresses oxygen and infuses it with hydrogen at up to 1.35 time normal atmospheric pressure.
Increased oxygenation supports the body’s own healing process and assists with greater energy production. Hydrogen selectively scavenges Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), or ‘free radicals,’ that cause disease, degeneration and ageing resulting from body oxidation (rusting). The combination of oxygen and hydrogen is unique to the Hydroxy Airpod and makes it best-in-class.
