This is legitimately one of my favourite places in the world (I mean, the whole studio is, but yah know).
I LOVE a good sauna!
Now I’ve got a gym membership at a swanky gym that has a steam room and a sauna, and I choose the sauna Reformer Pilates & Wellness Studio | West Midlands hands down every time.
Gym sauna, we’re packed in like sardines, and it’s usually full of gym bros bragging over who’s sweating off the worst hangover (as someone who doesn’t drink this conversation is especially 🥱) and who’s been in the longest.
The Pilates Girl sauna I can wear the sexy little sauna hat, I can set the temperature where I want it to be, I can spray some chilled oils, and best of all, I can put my own music on the Bluetooth and either have a little sauna disco dance for one, or have a chill out and fully lie down without dodging someone else’s sweaty leg, depending on how I’m feeling that day.
I’ve got long covid, so I’m using saunas more and more as part of my recovery. And I 100% notice when I slack on this (like right now, thanks microneedling 🙃). When I stick to regular saunas I no longer feel like I’ve got a herd of elephants sat on my chest. My workouts are also better, stretches are deeper, and my recovery is faster. My head is clearer, my mood is better, and I actually sleep. My nervous system literally sighs in relief when I get in there.
So basically, get in that sauna! 🥵
