Recovery Is the Secret Weapon

You’ve crushed your workout. You’re sweaty, sore, and proud. But what you do after you train is just as important as the training itself.

At Clubhaus, we believe recovery isn’t a luxury—it’s a crucial part of progress. That’s why we’ve launched a recovery zone featuring a traditional sauna, cold plunge therapy, and other tools to help you bounce back stronger.

Here’s how to use them—and why they work.

Traditional Sauna: Classic Heat, Serious Benefits

Why it works:
Traditional saunas use heated rocks and water to produce dry, intense heat that warms the body from the outside in. This tried-and-true method promotes deep sweating, relaxation, and recovery by increasing heart rate and blood flow—similar to light cardiovascular activity.

Benefits of sauna after a workout:

Pro tip: Start with 10–15 minutes after a workout. Sip water, relax, and let the heat do its job.

Cold Plunge Therapy: Embrace the Chill

Why it works:
Cold exposure causes your blood vessels to constrict, helping to flush out waste and reduce inflammation. Once you warm up again, nutrient-rich blood rushes back in—supporting faster recovery and regeneration.

Benefits of cold plunge therapy:

Pro tip: Start slow. 1 to 3 minutes is plenty. The key is calm breathing and consistent use.

Contrast Therapy: Hot + Cold, Repeat

Why it works:
Switching between hot (sauna) and cold (plunge) therapy triggers a powerful circulatory response. This push-pull action of your blood vessels enhances recovery and leaves you feeling recharged.

How to do it:

Expect: Increased circulation, reduced soreness, and total body refreshment.

Other Tools to Support Recovery

Support your hard work with other recovery-friendly habits:

While our Fayetteville location does not currently have a cold plunge or sauna (they are in our future plans), yoga, Reformer, and a recovery walk around beautiful Mount Sequoyah are available!
