Why it works for gyms & fitness.

Post-workout recovery is the new competitive edge. A sauna on-site turns a gym into a destination, members stay longer, recover faster, and come back more. Our container saunas fit perfectly in a car park, outdoor space or facility extension.

  • Reduces DOMS and accelerates muscle recovery
  • Increases member retention and session frequency
  • Adds a premium revenue stream (sauna memberships)
  • Differentiates your box from every other gym in the area

Here's the maths, step by step

  1. 13 sessions a day × 7 days open = 91 sessions a week
  2. 91 sessions a week × £15 a session = £1,365 a week
  3. £1,365 a week × 50 weeks open a year = £68,250 a year

Before you say yes

The real questions, answered honestly.

Will it actually make money?

A sauna is not a cost centre once it is running. The segment numbers above are what our operators are billing today, from session sales and memberships built around it.

Will it keep members and customers coming back?

Our operators tell us the same thing again and again: a sauna gives people a reason to return more often, and stay longer once they do.

Will it lift the experience of visiting?

A sauna changes how a visit feels. It gives people somewhere to talk, recover and unwind, rather than just another piece of equipment on the floor.

Will people actually use it?

Who doesn’t love a sauna? Once someone tries one, they come looking for the next one, and our operators see that pattern every single week.

Is this a trend worth joining?

Per the British Sauna Society, the number of public saunas in the UK has grown from 45 in 2023 to over 200 today. Wellbeing is where UK leisure spending is heading, and venues that move early get to lead it rather than follow.
