WHAT IS CONTRAST THERAPY?

The art (and science) of alternating between heat and cold exposure in order to: 

  • Recover faster
  • Reduce soreness
  • Train more often
  • Feel like a badass

     

It goes a little something like this:
SAUNA → COLD BLAST → REPEAT
or
HOT SHOWER → COLD BLAST → REPEAT

Either way, it’s full-body recovery that hits you from both sides. Your nervous system loves it, it just might take you a little longer to feel the same. 

why should i embrace the contrast?

Because recovery is the difference between training and actually improving. 

Contrast Therapy helps you:

  • Flush out lactic acid
  • Improve circulation: which speed up healing
  • Boost mental clarity: cold wakes you up, heat chills you out
  • Sleep better: because your nervous system is calmer

It’s time to embrace performance recovery. 

Pro Tips for Maximum Gains
  1. Start with heat to open up the blood vessels
  2. Hit the cold for 1–3 minutes (build this up)
  3. Alternate 2–3 rounds to achieve the best results
  4. Finish cold for that main character energy.

     

Combine with a Personal Training session or Hyrox class beforehand and you’ve unlocked elite mode.

Where can I do it?

  • Infrared saunas + cold showers
  • Located in both men’s and women’s changing rooms
  • Just hit the heat, then blast the cold tap.

Which Gymbox club has the Snow Feature Shower and Ice Station?

Both are currently available at Gymbox Farringdon, Finsbury Park and just landed in Elephant and Castle, with further clubs planned as the rollout continues.

A shower designed specifically for post-workout recovery, alternating warm and cold water with a cooling snow effect to stimulate circulation and lower skin temperature quickly.

The Ice Station delivers crushed ice directly to sore areas for targeted, hands-on cold application. The Snow Feature Shower is a full-body contrast experience combining warm and cold water with a cooling snow effect.

Nope, saunas and showers are drop in, and included in your membership. If there’s space then go for it. 

Absolutely. It’s especially good after a heavy lifting session, or anytime you want to recover faster

Swimwear is required for the saunas, do your thing in the showers. 

Yes everything is monitored and maintained. We ask all members to shower before using the saunas to help us keep everything as clean as possible.
