How a session actually works

You do not sit in the heat and grind it out. Thermal Garden suggests 10 to 15 minutes in the sauna and 2 to 3 minutes in the ice bath, then repeat. The fire pit is there for the bit in between, which is the part most people end up liking best.

The story

About Thermal Garden Derry

The setup is a full circuit rather than one hot room. You have a sauna, an ice bath, a hot tub, hot showers, cold showers, plunge pools and a fire-pit area to sit at between rounds. It is minutes from the city centre, which makes it an easy thing to fold into an ordinary day.
