LOOKING FOR SAUNAS IN THE ILLAWARRA?
A number of gyms and health related businesses have saunas in the Illawarra, ranging from infrared, steam, and even the Illawarra’s first HOCATT sauna. Saunas have been growing in popularity over recent years, although their health benefits have been recognised for hundreds of years across the world.

Benefits of sauna use:
Saunas are beneficial for detoxification, circulation, cardiovascular health, muscle recovery, weight loss, improved sleep and even longevity. The increased temperature causes profuse sweating, which circulates the lymphatic system and gets the heart pumping. A sauna session immediately after a tough workout can dramatically reduce muscle soreness and regular sauna sessions can assist the body in removing toxins such as heavy metals through sweating.

Where can you use a sauna in the Illawarra area?
It’s best to make an inquiry to a sauna facility that’s in a convenient location for you. If regular sauna bathing is your intention, you may find that purchasing a membership or package of sauna passes is a more economical option. It also depends on what your wellness goals are when it comes to sauna use. If increasing growth hormone and muscle recovery is your main priority, you might find that having access to a sauna immediately following a workout is ideal. In that case, finding a local gym with a sauna option could be a priority. Different types of saunas operate at different temperature ranges too. If you like your sauna really hot, you might find a dry or steam sauna more satisfying that an infrared variety.
