Starpool’s Recovery Class is an innovative wellness format designed for large fitness centres with high user traffic and diverse needs. It introduces a dedicated space for pre-workout activation, post-training recovery and rest-day regeneration, built around scientifically-validated protocols developed by Starpool’s Scientific Research Department.

Recovery Class offers two distinct programme types: Functional Programmes that can be integrated into training routines and guided by personal trainers to optimise warm-up and recovery phases and Personal Health Programmes that are focused on prevention and mental wellbeing, making them ideal for engaging members who are more wellness-oriented than workout-driven.

These programmes are supported by advanced technologies that leverage heat, dry float and cold therapies.

Contrast therapy for recovery
Heat therapy is delivered through Sport Sauna and Sport Infrared Cabin, designed to stimulate the body’s natural physiological responses. Sport Sauna provides intense, dry heat inspired by the Finnish tradition, ideal for muscle activation and deep recovery. Sport Infrared Cabin uses targeted infrared rays via ergonomic backrest lamps to deliver deep, localised heat, enhancing flexibility and relaxation.

Dry Float Therapy is offered through the patented Zerobody Dry Float system, which allows the body to float on 400 litres of warm water without getting wet. It promotes mental and physical recovery by reducing sensory input and weight perception.

Cold Therapy features Ice Bath Pro, a solution for immersion in water between +4°C and +8°C. Cold exposure helps reduce inflammation and soreness, supports hormonal balance, and enhances athletic recovery.

For operators, Recovery Class is a smart business opportunity: it enhances service offerings, repurposes underused spa areas, requires no supervision, and increases engagement, retention, and member acquisition.
