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.

RECOVERY FOR DIFFERENT GROUPS

One space,
shaped around your group.

The same recovery house adapts to how each group arrives — training hard, decompressing, resetting, or preparing to celebrate.

Executive Recovery

A quiet decompression space between sessions — sauna, steam and lounge built into offsite agendas so leadership teams reset without leaving the property.

Focus: Decompression
02

Athlete Recovery

Heat, water and treatment scheduled directly around the training block, so CrossFit and HYROX camps recover on the same clock they train on.

Focus: Performance recovery
03

Wellness Recovery

Slower rotations through water, heat and lounge, paired with yoga and stillness programming across a multi-day retreat.

Focus: Restoration
04

Wedding-Party Recovery

A shared morning-of space for the wedding party — pool, sauna and treatment rooms scheduled ahead of the ceremony.

Focus: Preparation & connection
