Why the Recovery Matters

Performance, resilience, and wellbeing aren’t built by training alone — they’re forged in the spaces between effort, you only improve when you recover.

The Recovery Room exists to give a space dedicated to that improvement. Slow down, reset, and give your body and mind the tools they need to adapt, repair, and perform at their best.

In sport, business, and daily life, recovery is the multiplier. It turns effort into progress. Without it, performance plateaus, fatigue builds, and risk of injury or burnout increases.

The Recovery Room is designed to counter that — offering the most effective, proven methods for accelerating recovery and building resilience, all in a private, premium setting.

  • Off-peak and peak pricing, individual and group bookings, community rates available.

  • Recovery methods shaped by sports science, elite performance training, and lived experience at the highest levels of sport and service.

  • A hyper-local facility designed for Putney’s active community, with the highest attention to detail.

The Benefits of Contrast Therapy

Our combination of high-heat Finnish sauna and deep-cold ice bath creates a powerful physiological response. Heat exposure relaxes muscles, boosts circulation, and triggers the release of endorphins. Cold immersion reduces inflammation, tightens blood vessels, and supports a powerful post-session energy lift.

Alternating between heat and cold — contrast therapy — improves vascular function, accelerates metabolic waste removal, and helps the body adapt to temperature extremes. The result: faster recovery, reduced muscle soreness, improved mood, and an enhanced ability to handle physical and mental stress.
