Infrared Sauna, Red Light and Cold Plunge: How to Use Our Recovery Room
Training hard is only half of getting stronger. The other half is recovering well enough to come back and do it again. That's why West Kelowna CrossFit has a recovery room right in the gym: an infrared sauna with a red light panel, and a cold plunge.
How to book it
Members book recovery time by the hour in the Wodify app, the same place you book classes. Booking ahead lets our coaches see who's coming and have the sauna heated and ready, since it takes about half an hour to warm up. The cold plunge is always ready.
How we use it: hot, then cold
The routine we recommend is simple:
- About 20 minutes in the infrared sauna with the red light panel on.
- Then the cold plunge. Start short and build up as you get used to it.
Use it straight after class, or book it on a rest day as a recovery session of its own.
What it costs
- Unlimited Recovery: $49/month. Use it as often as you like, so you never feel like you're wasting a visit.
- Single session: $20
- Your first session is free. Try it before you decide.
A note on safety
Heat and cold are strong stimuli. If you're pregnant, have a heart condition, have high or low blood pressure, or take medication that affects how you handle heat, check with your doctor before using the sauna or cold plunge. Stay hydrated, get out if you feel dizzy, and never push through feeling unwell.
