Steam rooms and saunas have been around since the Romans and the Greeks era. Since then, they’ve grown in popularity for their health benefits, such as improved blood circulation, faster recovery, reduced inflammation and swelling, and stress reduction. Not to mention that a steam room is also a great place to sit back and relax.
Steam usage involves brief passive exposure to intense heat at maximum humidity. This leads to mild hyperthermia – a rise in the body’s core temperature that triggers a thermoregulatory response, restoring homeostasis and conditioning the body for subsequent heat stressors.
Moist heat, as generated in a steam room, has the potential to enhance circulation by expanding the small blood vessels or capillaries. This dilation facilitates smoother blood flow, aiding in the efficient transport of oxygen throughout the body.
Applying moist heat promptly after a workout can assist in alleviating pain and preserving muscle strength. The heat has a calming effect on nerve endings and induces muscle relaxation.
A steam room has the potential to lower cortisol levels, the hormone released in response to stress. As cortisol levels decrease, individuals may experience a heightened sense of control, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
The steam within the room permeates your body, opening up your pores and aiding in the elimination of dirt and debris through sweat. This cleansing process not only purifies your skin but also enhances its radiance.
The mild warmth and intense humidity in our spa facility are likely to induce a light sweat, with the steam assisting in the opening of your pores. This process aids in flushing out toxins through your skin.
Our steam rooms are like a traditional sauna in most gyms, but instead of using dry heat or hot rocks to heat the room, they use steam-making machines to produce hot air and up the humidity in the room, giving you the steamy environment you’re looking for. In addition to this, we can add essential oils to our steamers at your request, providing you with a lovely smell to enhance your relaxation and give you the perfect place to unwind.
You also have the option of using a steam room combined with a cold pool for contrast therapy, giving you the health benefits of both activities. A popular steam room is the Turkish-style steam room, which has beautiful tiles and a pool for you to take a dip in when things get too steamy.

Yes, there are plenty of benefits to using a steam room regularly!
Here are some of the key benefits to expect:
Most people find two to three steam room sessions enough to achieve their desired benefits, although beginners might want to start with just one session a week to build up a tolerance.
Two to three sessions a week can support relaxation, skin health, and muscle recovery without overexposing the body to heat. Always listen to your body and stay hydrated throughout each session to avoid any negative reactions, like dehydration or discomfort.
Yes, steam rooms use moist heat with high humidity (around 100%), while traditional saunas provide dry heat with low humidity.
Steam rooms typically feel hotter due to the moisture, which can open airways and hydrate skin. On the other hand, saunas use dry heat that promotes sweating and muscle relaxation. Both offer plenty of unique health benefits, but they differ in heat type and humidity levels.
A steam room session should generally last between 10 and 15 minutes.
Staying within this time range helps you enjoy the benefits of a steam room relaxation session without risking dehydration or overheating. Beginners may find it easier to start with shorter sessions and gradually increase as their tolerance increases. Always listen to your body and leave the steam room if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable.
While some people believe they feel better after a steam room session when experiencing a hangover, this isn’t always the case. Many may experience short-term relief but feel worse later on as a result.
A steam room can help relieve some hangover symptoms, like headaches and muscle aches, by promoting relaxation and hydration. However, it won’t cure a hangover or speed up your alcohol metabolism. Drinking plenty of water and resting are the best ways to recover from a hangover. A steam room can make you more dehydrated than you already are, making you feel worse overall.
Yes, steam rooms can promote clearer skin by opening pores and encouraging sweating, which helps flush out impurities and toxins.
The moisture in the air can also hydrate your skin, improving its texture and appearance overall. Regular use may reduce acne and improve circulation, but it’s important to cleanse your skin afterwards to prevent clogged pores. It’s also worth mentioning that many people find that skin benefits only appear after regular steam room use over multiple weeks, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results right away.
We recommend wearing a towel, swimsuit, or light breathable clothing during a steam room session.
Minimal clothing helps your skin breathe and sweat freely while maintaining your modesty. Avoid heavy or non-breathable fabrics where possible, as they can trap heat and moisture, making you uncomfortable and increasing the risk of overheating. If you’re unsure of what to wear, always check your chosen wellness centre’s dress code.
Believe it or not, there is a correct way to breathe in the steam room! For the most comfortable experience, you should breathe through your nose rather than your mouth.
Breathe slowly and deeply through your nose. This helps warm and humidify the air, which can soothe your respiratory system and improve your oxygen intake. Shallow or mouth breathing may feel more intense due to the heat and moisture. If you feel lightheaded, step out of the steam room and cool down before re-entering.
It’s generally not recommended to use a steam room while pregnant, as many healthcare professionals advise against it as a precaution.
The high heat can raise your core body temperature, which may pose risks to you and your baby during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Always consult your doctor before using heat-based therapies when pregnant.
Yes, steam rooms can support the body’s natural detox process by promoting sweating, which helps eliminate some toxins through the skin.
However, they don’t “detox” organs like the liver or kidneys. While helpful for circulation and skin health, steam rooms should be viewed as a complement to a healthy lifestyle – not a detox cure. Steam rooms should be thought of as a good surface-level detoxifying therapy.
While steam rooms may support you on your weight loss journey by encouraging you to exercise more and detoxifying the body, they’re not designed to make a big impact and can’t replace regular exercise and a healthy diet.
A steam room may lead to temporary weight loss through a reduction in water weight from sweating. However, this is not fat loss, and the weight typically returns once you rehydrate. Steam rooms can support relaxation and recovery, potentially helping you exercise more frequently to indirectly support your weight loss journey.
