Relaxing in the wellness area

Treat yourself to some relaxation after your workout: a visit to the sauna or steam bath is relaxing for the mind and also helps your muscles to recover.

As well as being good for the mind, wellness is also beneficial for the body: spending time in hot and dry air and then cooling off has a highly stimulating effect on all organs of the body, and boosts our metabolism. The positive effect on the circulation helps to relax our muscles. The damp heat of the steam bath also penetrates deep into the muscles, helping them to recover more quickly – helping to avoid muscle soreness the next day.
