EVERYBODY IN THE POOL!

The spacious hot tub affords our members plenty of room to stretch out without worrying about disturbing other bathers. Relax those tense muscles and relieve stress after a long day.
STEAM ROOM vs. DRY SAUNA
Steam rooms are similar to saunas. You sit in a small heated room, and both are said to benefit your health. The big difference is in the type of heat that they provide.
A sauna uses dry heat, usually from hot rocks or a closed stove. Steam rooms are heated by steam from a generator filled with boiling water.
Steam rooms, also known as wet saunas, are designed to maintain humidity between 95% and 100%. The high humidity is vital to their unique health benefits, but research on its benefits is limited.
Instead, most studies focus on the health benefits of dry saunas, which typically have 5% to 10% humidity.
Despite this, it’s suggested that wet and dry saunas offer similar benefits, such as:
CLEARS CONGESTION
Clearing congestion is perhaps the benefit most people associate with steam rooms. Anecdotal claims often credit steam with relieving:
1. Stuffy Nose
2. Headache
3. Throat Irritation
4. Cough
Steam rooms create an environment that warms the mucous membrane and encourages deep breathing. Using one can help break up congestion in your sinuses and lungs, at least temporarily.
REDUCES INFLAMMATION
Steam rooms alone cannot treat severe conditions, but researchers generally agree that thermal therapy can help reduce systemic inflammation.
This is a significant benefit, as inflammation is linked to a range of conditions, including:
1. Stroke
2. Respiratory Disease
3. Heart Disorders
4. Cancer
5. Obesity
6. Diabetes
OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE:
1. Promotes Skin Health
2. Helps Support Workout Recovery
3. Loosens Stiff Joints
4. Burns Calories
5. Promotes Cardiovascular Health
