Hot, then cold, then hot again. Many members finish a sauna with a dip in the ice bath or cold pool. It’s a big part of what makes a P3 visit feel different from a sauna on its own.
The best-known sauna research comes from Finland, where a study followed around 2,300 middle-aged men for more than 20 years and found that people who used a sauna more often had better long-term health outcomes. It’s one reason regular sauna has become part of so many people’s weekly routine.
Anyone who loves real heat. If you’re newer to sauna or find high heat hard, try the Infrared Sauna first.
Follow the heat with the Contrast Pools and you’ve got the classic hot and cold. Find your nearest P3.
Most people stay 10-20 minutes. Start shorter if you’re new, drink water before and after, and step out if you feel dizzy or unwell.
There’s no single right order. Many people start in the heat and finish cold, others alternate a few times. Do what feels good and leave time to warm back up.
A traditional sauna heats the air to around 70-90°C for an intense sweat. An infrared sauna runs cooler and feels gentler.
If you’re pregnant, have a heart condition, low or high blood pressure, or any health concern, check with your GP before using a sauna.
