RECOVERY CIRCUIT

Built for groups.
Designed to rotate.

The recovery house is designed for controlled group flow rather than open drop-in use, so every zone stays comfortable during peak training hours.

01

Group Flow

Groups move through the house together, following a set order from heat through water to treatment and lounge.

02

Rotation

Timed rotations move sub-groups between sauna, steam and pool so no single zone is overloaded.

03

Concurrent Use

Several zones can run at once — training group in the pool while another rotates through sauna and steam.

04

Capacity

Each zone has a working group limit; larger groups are split into rotating sub-groups to stay within it.

05

Booking Limitations

Massage and treatment require advance booking; open zones are scheduled around your group's daily program.
