Question 1

Is there anyone who shouldn’t use the sauna?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Do not use the sauna or ice bath if you have high or low blood pressure, any heart or circulatory disorder, epilepsy or diabetes, are prone to dizziness or fainting, or are pregnant.

Do not attend under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Question 2

Is there a minimum age?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You must be over 16 to use the sauna or ice bath. Anyone identified as under this age will not be allowed entry.

Question 3

How long should I stay in?

Accepted Answer

Come out when you have had enough rather than aiming for a target. Most people alternate a spell in the sauna with a short time in the ice bath, a few times across the session.

Question 4

Can I cancel or move my booking?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel through the app, but bookings must be cancelled at least 3 hours before the session. Miss a booked session repeatedly on an unlimited membership and the membership is suspended until you email us.

Question 5

Do I need to be a member?

Accepted Answer

No. You need either an unlimited membership or a one-day pass to book. A one-day pass is valid for 24 hours from the time you buy it, and lets you book one sauna and ice bath session.

Question 6

What happens if I’m late?

Accepted Answer

Your session still ends at its scheduled time, because the next booking starts straight after.

Question 7

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Swimwear, a towel and flip-flops for moving between the sauna, cold room and outdoor area. Belongings can’t be left overnight.

Question 8

Are there changing rooms and showers?

Accepted Answer

Changing rooms, yes, with secure lockers in them. There are no showers in the changing rooms. The only showers on site are the cold rinse beside the ice baths and the outdoor one on the patio. Both are there for a rinse-off before you get in, or a cool-down if needed. Lockers have a built-in lock and key, but remember to take your things with you at the end; nothing can be left overnight. Neither shower is for washing — a rinse, not a scrub, no soap or shampoo. CCTV covers the shared areas, never the changing rooms.

Question 9

Is the site accessible?

Accepted Answer

Email us before you book and we will tell you exactly what the route in involves — any steps, the doors, and what the changing rooms are like. We would rather you knew before you travelled than take our word for it that it will be fine.

Question 10

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on site at Gannon Park, and there is a public overflow car park right beside the sauna. If you would rather not drive, Malahide DART is a short walk and the 42 and 102 buses stop along the Coast Road.
