GETTING IN

Nordic Sweat is a private, self-service studio at 188 Collins Street.

Enter 188 Collins via the Harrington Street entrance - walk up the exterior stairs, through the glass doors and head to the Ground Floor reception. Go past reception and around the corner to the lifts on your left. Select Lower Ground.
When you exit the lift, follow the Nordic Sweat sign down the corridor. Our entrance is on your right, directly opposite the large red zap fitness doors.
Can’t find us? Ask the security team at reception — they’ll happily point you in the right direction.
Your booking confirmation will include everything you need to access the building and Nordic Sweat. Once you’re in, the entire space is yours for your booking. No sharing. No strangers.

YOUR SESSion

There is no compulsory order. Use the sauna and ice bath in whatever combination feels comfortable.
If you're new to contrast therapy:

shower

Please shower first for hygiene reasons for all.

sauna

Start with around 10–15 minutes. Sit back, relax and leave at any point if you feel uncomfortable.

ice bath

Start slowly. Even 30–60 seconds is plenty for your first time. Focus on slow, controlled breathing. Aim to work up to 3 minutes.  3.5 minute is the perfect time for reaping the most benefits.

repeat

If you feel comfortable, alternate between the sauna and ice bath during your session.
You don't need to push yourself. More extreme doesn't mean better.

compression boots

For an ultimate recovery add compression boots. Instructions on how to use these are in the studio. We suggest if it is your first time using compression boots start on a low setting and work your way up.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE

Nordic Sweat is self-service, so please leave the space as you found it and follow all cleaning instructions below and listed in the room.

• Take all personal belongings.
• Spray and wipe down the sauna.
• Wipe up any water on the floor.
• Wash and dry your mug if you had a cup of tea.
• Place used towels in the designated basket.
• If you used compression boots, please follow the cleaning protocol and return to their hooks.

Make sure the door closes securely behind you. Please be out of the room by the end of your 50-minute booking so it's ready for the next guest.
