Recovery suites
Recovery is an essential part to your training and should be included in EVERY ONES routine no matter what your goals are .
Hot to cold exposure — also called contrast therapy — is one of the best things you can do after a workout. This is exactly why we built the Recovery Suites at Results Gym Boyle:
*The Combo Effect (Hot → Cold):*
*1. Faster Recovery & Less Soreness*
Heat opens up blood vessels and relaxes tight muscles. Cold then constricts them, flushing out waste like lactic acid. It’s like a pump for your muscles — reduces DOMS so you’re not wrecked the next day.
*2 Inflammation Reduction*
Sauna lowers chronic inflammation, cold plunge is a natural anti-inflammatory. Together they help with joint pain, old injuries, and puffiness after heavy sessions.
*3. Boosted Circulation & Immunity*
Hot makes your heart pump, cold makes it work harder to stay warm. This contrast trains your circulation and over time can strengthen your immune system and improve skin glow.
*4. Mental Benefits*
- *Heat (Sauna / Jacuzzi):* Drops cortisol, de-stresses, helps you sleep deeper
- *Cold (Plunge / Cold Shower):* Massive dopamine and adrenaline hit — instant energy, better focus, improved mood for hours. People use it for anxiety and low mood.
*5. Performance*
You recover faster, so you can train more consistently. Better sleep + less soreness = you actually _want_ to come back tomorrow.
*How to do it right in our Recovery Suites:*
*Beginner Protocol:* 10-15 mins Sauna/Jacuzzi → 30-60 sec Cold Plunge or Hot/Cold Shower → Repeat 2-3 times. Always finish on cold.
*Pro tip:* Breathe slow in the cold. Don’t force 5 minutes — 60 seconds is enough to get 90% of the benefits.
