RULES & Guidelines:
- Please shower before and after use.

- Total time in the steam room should not exceed 20 minutes, too much exposure may result in dizziness, nausea or fainting.
- Make sure you wait at least an hour after eating before you enter the steam room.
- Although it may seem natural to go into a steam room right after exercising, it is best to let your body cool down, this helps reduce the risk of hyperthermia, which can happen when you are extremely overheated.
- Drink plenty of water before and after using the steam room as dehydration can become a problem even in a humid environment.
- Remove watches, jewellery etc as they can become very hot in the steam room.
- Remove contact lenses and remove all make-up.
- Take a warm shower before using the steam function to cleanse the skin.
- Relax for around 5 to 10 minutes in the steam room (or less if it is uncomfortable) this raises the body temperature and the perspiration will cleanse the pores of the skin.
- Take a cool shower.
- Return to the steam room for a further 5 to 10 minutes. The hot / cold cycle can be repeated as often as comfortable.
- Take a shower after using the steam function.
- The steam outlet can become hot even though a safety guard has been fitted, please ensure you do not come into close contact with the outlet (located below the shower controls) as it could cause scalding.
