Private Sauna & Ice Bath in Maroubra

Each session runs for 55 minutes, giving you plenty of time to complete 2–3 full contrast therapy cycles. A typical cycle includes 20–30 minutes in the sauna followed by 2–5 minutes in the ice bath, with rest periods in between. Your session begins with a brief consultation so our team can tailor the experience to your goals — whether that’s muscle recovery, stress relief, or general wellbeing.

Our ice baths are maintained between 4–8°C. Before you step in, our team will walk you through controlled breathing techniques that make the cold far more manageable than you’d expect. You’re always in control of how long you stay in — most first-timers start with around 2 minutes and work their way up as they become more comfortable with cold water immersion.

Our traditional sauna heats the air around you to higher temperatures, producing a faster, more intense sweat — ideal if you enjoy that classic sauna experience. Our infrared sauna uses light wavelengths to penetrate deeper into muscle tissue at a lower ambient temperature, which many clients find more comfortable for longer sessions. Both options include a private ice bath as part of your contrast therapy session. Not sure which suits you? Try both — many of our regulars alternate depending on how their body feels that day.

For the best results, we recommend 2–3 sessions per week. Regular contrast therapy has been shown to support muscle recovery, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote better sleep. That said, even a single weekly session delivers noticeable benefits for stress relief and overall wellbeing.

Absolutely — and many of our clients do. Pairing contrast therapy with a remedial or sports massage is one of the most popular combinations at Elite Body Recovery. If you’re planning to visit regularly, our Elite 10 Pass ($550 for 10 sessions) lets you use sessions across our recovery treatments — including sauna & ice bath, hyperbaric, red light, and lymphatic drainage — at your own pace with no lock-in. It works out to $55 per session, saving 18% compared to casual pricing. You can view all available packages on our pricing page.

Yes — and you’ll probably surprise yourself. Our team guides every first-timer through proven breathing techniques that help your body adjust to the cold quickly. Most clients tell us the anticipation is far worse than the reality. You’re in control the entire time — you choose when to get in, how long you stay, and when to step out. We’re right there with you for every second, so you’re never doing it alone.
