Questions and answers
Everything you need to know before your first visit. Can’t find your answer? Get in touch.
How long is a session?
Each session is 55 minutes, which gives you time for several rounds of sauna and cold plunge with rest in between. Most people do 10 to 15 minutes in the sauna, a plunge or a breather outside, then go back in.
Do I need to have done a sauna before?
Not at all. Most of our guests are first-timers. Book a guided session and our team will explain everything when you arrive, from sitting on a towel to showering before the plunge, or choose an open session to go at your own pace.
Do I have to cold plunge?
No, the cold plunge is completely optional. You can enjoy the sauna without plunging, or take the plunge when you feel ready. Go at your own pace and step out whenever you like.
What do I need to bring?
Please bring 2 towels (one to dry off with and one to sit on) and slippers to walk around in. A bathrobe is nice for extra comfort. We also sell towels in case you forget yours.
Do you have changing rooms and lockers?
Yes. We have 5 private changing rooms: 3 heated indoor rooms with hangers and matting, and 2 outdoor rooms. Storage is available for your bags and valuables.
How clean is the sauna?
The sauna and changing areas are cleaned between every session. The cold plunges are treated, filtered and refreshed daily, just like a swimming pool.
How much does it cost?
A single session is £19.99. Packages bring the price down: Spark 5x is £80 (£16.00 a session), Flow 10x is £145 (£14.50 a session) and Peak 15x is £200 (£13.33 a session). No membership needed. See packages and gifts.
How do I change or cancel my booking?
Cancel the session in your LegitFit account and rebook any other time. If you cancel more than 24 hours before your session you get a full refund.
Can I buy a session as a gift?
Yes. Buy a gift voucher (£19.99) or any package and choose “I’m buying it for someone else” at checkout. Our booking system emails them straight away, so ask them to check their junk folder if it doesn’t arrive.
Can I book for a group or a private session?
Yes. For groups, teams, run clubs or private sessions, get in touch and we’ll help you plan it.
Is the sauna open in winter? What if it rains?
Winter is our season: we reopen on 18 October and run through the colder months. The sauna stays hot whatever the weather, and our heated cosy corner gives you somewhere warm and dry between rounds.
Is sauna and cold plunge safe for everyone?
Most people can enjoy it, but if you are pregnant, have a heart condition or blood pressure problems, or take medication that affects them, check with your doctor first. Drink plenty of water, listen to your body and step out whenever you need to. Our team is always on hand.
