The Home of Performance & Recovery

Swimwear is best, as you'll be moving between hot and cold during your session. We also recommend bringing comfortable clothing to change into afterwards.

Bring your swimwear and anything you normally use to get changed after your session. Staying hydrated before and after contrast therapy is also important, so we recommend bringing water with you.

Please arrive around 5–10 minutes before your booking. This gives you time to get ready without cutting into your session. Arriving on time also helps us keep every booking running smoothly and allows our team enough time to clean and reset the space between guests.

Your booking will still finish at its scheduled end time. Unfortunately, we can't extend late arrivals into the next booking, as we need time between sessions to clean, sanitise and prepare the facilities for the next guest.

We strongly recommend booking in advance, particularly for the Private Suite. We operate a limited number of sessions each day and popular evening and weekend times can fill quickly.

Yes. Private Suite bookings can be cancelled or rescheduled free of charge up to 60 minutes before your scheduled session. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made within 60 minutes of your booking time will result in the session being forfeited.

Yes. When you book the Private Suite, the entire space is reserved exclusively for you and your booking. You'll have your own infrared sauna and cold plunge with no other customers sharing the facilities during your session.

Absolutely. The Private Suite can be booked for either one or two guests, making it ideal for solo recovery or sharing the experience with a partner, friend or training partner.

Your Private Suite booking gives you a dedicated 45-minute session, giving you plenty of time to alternate between the infrared sauna and cold plunge at your own pace.

Of course. You don't need any previous experience and you don't need to be an athlete or regular gym-goer. Our team can talk you through the facilities and help you understand how to use the sauna and cold plunge before your first session.

No. If you're new to cold exposure, take it at your own pace. You can start with shorter periods in the water and gradually build up as you become more comfortable. There's no competition and no need to push yourself beyond what feels manageable.

Contrast therapy involves alternating between heat and cold exposure. At Copelands House, this means moving between facilities such as the sauna and cold plunge. Many people use contrast therapy as part of their recovery, relaxation and general wellbeing routine.

Not at all. Copelands House is for anyone looking to make recovery and wellbeing part of their routine. Whether you train every day, play sport, have a physically demanding job or simply want somewhere to switch off and recharge, you're welcome here.

There's no single routine that's right for everyone. Some people use contrast therapy occasionally, while others make it a regular part of their weekly recovery routine. How often you visit will depend on your goals, preferences and individual circumstances.

Heat and cold exposure isn't suitable for everyone. If you're pregnant, have a heart or circulatory condition, problems with blood pressure, reduced sensitivity to temperature, or any medical condition that could be affected by extreme heat or cold, please speak to an appropriate healthcare professional before using the facilities. If you're unsure, please ask before booking.

No. For your safety, you should not use the sauna, cold plunge or other heat and cold facilities while under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs. We reserve the right to refuse use of the facilities where we believe it would be unsafe.
