Behan HQ · Recovery Room
Purpose-built for Behan members. Infrared sauna, ice bath, compression therapy, and massage — everything your body needs to come back stronger.
One private room. Five tools. Book your session and use them in any combination you need.
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat penetrates deeper into muscle tissue at a lower ambient temperature — making it more tolerable for longer sessions. Accelerates recovery, promotes blood flow, and loosens joints that took a beating on the mats.
Cold water immersion reduces inflammation, flushes metabolic waste, and triggers a powerful nervous system reset. The discomfort is the point — it builds mental resilience just as much as it repairs muscle. Same mindset as the mats.
Sequential pneumatic compression mimics the body's natural muscle pump, accelerating lymphatic drainage and circulation. Use it post-session, post-training, or as a standalone recovery tool. Available for legs, arms, and hips.
Available Zones
Sit back, strap on the compression boots, and let both run together. The massage chair is there to keep you comfortable and relaxed while the compression does its work — no effort required. Stack it at the end of your session and just switch off for 20 minutes.
"Recovery isn't passive. It's the other half of training. If you're serious about getting better, you have to be just as intentional about how you recover as how you train."
— Coach Justin Behan
The Nordic (contrast therapy) protocol alternates heat and cold to drive powerful circulatory adaptation. Blood vessels dilate in heat, constrict in cold — creating a pumping effect that flushes waste, delivers nutrients, and accelerates recovery far beyond either alone.
Begin with infrared heat. Let your body temperature rise gradually. Control your breathing. Get comfortable with the discomfort.
Move directly to cold water. Full immersion if possible. Steady breathing — no gasping. This is where the adaptation happens.
Return to room temp. Let your body stabilise.
Second heat round. By now your body is fully adapted. Push deeper into the heat. Stay relaxed.
Final cold immersion. End cold — this is the key to reduced inflammation and a sharper mental state post-session.
* Beginners: start with shorter cold exposures (60–90 sec) and build up over sessions. Listen to your body.
Private sessions. No setup required. Here's what to expect from your first visit.
Select a date, pick your session length, and choose an available time. Members only.
Training breaks you down. Recovery is where you actually improve. Here's what's happening under the hood.
Cold immersion constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling in muscle tissue, speeding up the clearing of metabolic waste like lactic acid.
Contrast therapy drives repeated dilation and constriction of blood vessels — effectively pumping blood through areas that struggle to recover on their own.
Hard training taxes your nervous system, not just your muscles. Sauna heat and cold exposure both trigger neurological recovery responses that standard rest doesn't.
Regular sauna use is linked to improved sleep quality. Evening recovery sessions can prime the nervous system for deeper, more restorative sleep.
Heat increases blood flow to damaged muscle fibres and promotes protein synthesis. More blood flow means faster delivery of the nutrients your muscles need to rebuild.
Cold exposure trains your stress response. Learning to stay calm in the ice bath is the same skill as staying calm in a bad position — composed under pressure.
This is a shared space — members-only, private sessions, mutual respect. Same rules as the mats.
Rinse off before entering the sauna. Sweat and training residue off — respect for the shared space.
Wipe down every surface you've touched. Towels in the bin. Leave the room the way you'd want to find it.
Bring a water bottle. Drink before, during, and after. Do not use the room dehydrated.
Respect the booking window. If your session is 30 minutes, be out in 30. There's a 15-minute buffer between sessions — use it to wind down, not to extend.
If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or have a medical concern — check with your doctor before using sauna or cold immersion.
Recovery room is exclusively for active Behan members. Not transferable, not for guests.
The recovery room is for adults only. Use of the infrared sauna, ice bath, and compression therapy is not suitable for anyone under 18. No exceptions.
You are using this room unattended. Do not enter if you feel unwell, dizzy, or off. If something goes wrong, staff are on-site during gym hours — get out and get help immediately.
Everything you need to know before your first session.
Recovery room access is included with Behan membership — along with all classes, the 24/7 weights gym, and the full facility. One membership, everything under one roof.
