Our dry-heat wood-panelled Sauna in Medway will leave you feeling relaxed and stress-free. The heat from the sauna relaxes the body's muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s all-natural "feel good" chemical, and the release provides a radiant "after sauna glow”.

How to Use a Sauna and Steam Room
- Swimwear is required at all times.
- A good idea is to bring a towel and wear flip flops to shield bare skin from the hot seating area.
- Drink plenty of water before entering to prevent dehydration.
- Shower before and after.
- Remove any metal jewellery to prevent it from burning your body.
- If you feel faint, nauseated, or your heart rate begins to speed, exit immediately.
- Generally, 10 minutes in the sauna or steam room should be enough to cause your body temperature to rise without causing adverse physical effects.
- Please do not touch any of the controls by pouring water on steamers or adjusting the temperature dials.
- Please speak to a member of staff if the temperature doesn't seem warm enough.
- Avoid jumping into a cool shower straight right away. Spend 10 to 15 minutes to allow your body to adjust to the cooler air temperature.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- If you're pregnant or think you may be pregnant, abstain from using a sauna or steam room.
- Additionally, do not use either the sauna or steam room if you have been drinking alcohol or taking illicit drugs.
- No under 16's
- Consult a doctor before use if you suffer from circulatory problems, heart disease, high or low blood pressure, diabetes, epilepsy, or any other condition that may affect your body's reaction to high temperatures.
