Welcome to Chocolate Box Training's new...
Building recovery time into any training program is just as important as the training itself. Whether you’ve smashed your Strength & Conditioning classes throughout the week or put your body through the ringer with your Advanced or endurance training, giving time for your body to recover is crucial. It’s during this time that your body adapts to the stress of exercise and repairs damaged muscle tissue.
Our new Recovery Space has been designed to close that loop in your training program. Equipped with ice baths, hot and cold alfresco showers, inferred sauna, compression boots and massage guns – we have everything you need to ensure you maximise your recovery and are ready to smash your goals again.
Infrared saunas produce the same type of infrared heat produced by the sun. This heat is required for all living organisms for optimal health.
Unlike more traditional steam saunas (which heat the air around your body using steam which then has to heat your skin and your underlying soft tissue and then reach your body’s core), infrared saunas use infrared lamps to warm your body directly, penetrating about 1-2 inches from the get go.
This provides the same benefits to your body but at a more comfortable lower temperature, allowing for you to enjoy the benefits for a longer more tolerable period of time. Infrared saunas therefore heat your body from the inside out, rather than the outside in. In other words, infrared saunas create a dry heat whilst steam saunas create a moist heat.
