Recovery:
Recovery heroes

Tech-driven recovery is an essential part of the wellness journey. Suppliers talk to Julie Cramer about hero products and what’s coming next

TechnoAlpin Indoor’s Snowroom introduces a new approach to recovery by using real snow as a gentle and engaging cooling environment after exercise. Unlike ice baths or cryotherapy chambers, the snowroom provides gradual cooling that supports recovery while creating a relaxing multisensory experience.

Snowroom introduces a new approach to sports recovery by using real snow

Cold exposure helps reduce inflammation, limit muscle damage and preserve neuromuscular function after intense activity, and studies reviewed by the Universities of Trento and Verona confirm that cryotherapy can support post-exercise recovery and reduce soreness.

Snow offers an accessible alternative that cools the body evenly without the shock of cold water immersion. Beyond physical recovery, the environment also promotes mental regeneration, supporting relaxation, sleep quality and emotional balance.

Our snowrooms are individually designed and adapted to each customer’s concept, space and operational needs.

Who’s using it?

High‑performance sports centres, and health and wellness clubs – for example at the Texas Christian University (TCU) College Recovery Center.

With a stainless steel interior, cedar cladding and a marble-style top, Glacier Ice is our most popular ice bath. It can also be manufactured for indoor or outdoor use.

The Glacier Ice measures 1.55 x 0.79 x 0.75m and the low profile makes it easy to get in and out. The high performance chiller offers a reliable, consistent cold water immersion experience as low as 1 degree. The bath delivers exceptional hygiene standards in line with industry guidance, supporting high daily bather loads.

Glacier Ice can be manufactured for indoor or outdoor use

Featuring a 50sq ft skim filtration system as standard, with optional sand filtration, operators can choose from manual or fully automated digital dosing systems, with remote access and smart controls. The price is £15,000.

Who’s using it?

Notable operators include V London, Everyone Active, JAB Boxing, Roehampton Club and Oren Wellness.

What’s new?

We’re launching CryoSpa Serena this spring: a high-performance ice bath that pairs patented jet technology for deeper, more penetrating cold with hydrostatic pressure depth, a stainless-steel interior and a refined luxury wood exterior.

The Henshaw Hyperbaric Chamber is our hero recovery solution. It increases oxygen delivery to support recovery, reduce fatigue and improve wellbeing.

For health clubs, it creates a premium, bookable service that attracts new members, increases retention and generates additional revenue through paid sessions or tiered memberships.

Our Monozen chamber is popular due to its design and features. It measures W x L, 199cm (78”) by 137cm (54”), with an air compressor, O2 concentrator and dehumidifier and 2 ATA pressure.

The Henshaw Hyperbaric Chamber creates a premium, bookable service that attracts new members

We offer support from site surveys, installation, training, servicing to business support such as marketing guidance and advice, risk assessments and safety screenings. The Monozen list price is £99,000+vat and finance options are available.

Who’s using it?

Battersea Park Clinic has the Monozen chamber. Other Premier League Football clubs have other other models. We also have professional rugby clubs that use our soft shell chambers, as they’re portable and easy to move around facilities or take on tour.

What’s new?

We’re adding Intermittent Hypoxic–Hyperoxic Training (IHHT) to our integrated recovery suites. IHHT is fantastic for long-term performance, energy and resilience.

Infrared Therapy is available in several configurations designed for the fitness sector, including our Sport Infrared Cabin and Infrared Lounger.

This technology uses infrared radiation to generate deep, controlled heat that penetrates the tissues, promoting muscle relaxation, improving circulation and stimulating gradual perspiration. The result is effective support both in the preparation phase before training and in post-activity recovery.

For health club operators, integrating recovery technologies means enriching the member experience beyond the workout. Dedicated recovery areas increase the perceived value of memberships and encourage members to visit the club even on rest days, improving retention and engagement.

For health club operators, integrating recovery technologies means enriching the member experience beyond the workout

Sport Infrared Cabin operates at moderate temperatures (around 35 – 40°C) using a combined system of electric heater and infrared lamps that directly irradiate the back area. The cabin requires approximately 3-4sq m of space and a three-phase power supply, with energy requirements varying depending on the configuration.

For more flexible environments, Infrared Lounger offers an ergonomic single-seat solution that allows operators to create modular recovery areas.

Who’s using it?

International clubs such as Virgin Active and professional sports teams such as the Bolzano Foxes hockey team.

With 4,400 high-performance LEDs delivering powerful red light (630nm-660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) for an effective full-body recovery experience, our wellsystem RedWave is our hero product.

For sustainable training and workout success, recovery and regeneration are just as important as the workout itself.

Red light therapy helps accelerate the body’s natural recovery process, allowing members to train harder and recover faster

Wellsystem RedWave harnesses the effects of photobiomodulation – the interaction of red light and deep-penetrating near-infrared with the body’s cells. It shortens recovery time so members can get back to training sooner; supports lactate breakdown to reduce post-workout fatigue; boosts cellular energy production for enhanced performance; promotes blood circulation for improved nutrient delivery and stimulates cellular activity to support natural regeneration.

RedWave’s measurements are L x W x H (in cm): 216 x 93 x 97 closed, and 216 x 112 x 124 open, with a maximum power consumption of 1.4 kW (230 V).

Who’s using it?

Third Space, Gym Box and CPASE are among our RedWave customers.

What’s new?

Our Wellsystem HydroWave Pure – a Hydrojet massage system – combines the positive effects of water, heat and massage. It has an integrated cooling system and no plumbing is required.

One of our most popular solutions for commercial wellness projects is the Profi Sauna, which offers nearly unlimited design possibilities, allowing for the creation of bespoke spa designs that have a unique style, while also providing a special moment of relaxation and regeneration.

Innovations can maximise the health benefits of sauna. For example, Vitality Boost is a fully-automatic infusion system that targets intense heat stimuli on the body. Operators can offer this effective sauna experience without the need for additional staff.

The offering is further enhanced by exclusive applications such as the Frimas Ice Steam Room and the Espuro Foam Steam Bath – both concepts that can deliver unique, multisensory wellness experiences. These innovations support regeneration and enhance guest wellbeing.

The Profi Sauna offers nearly unlimited design possibilities

Who’s using it?

Our customers include Holmes Place, Germany, RSG Group (John Reed) and Säntispark in Abtwil, Switzerland, as well as Surrenne Spa and Health Club, London, Remedy Place in Boston, USA, Fortyseven Spa in Switzerland and Corinthia Brussels in Belgium.

What’s new?

We launched two new products at the end of 2025. Our wellness lounger Somra offers an optional integrated full-surface heating function and matching side table.

Meanwhile our Espuro CloudSpa device fills a shower or bathtub with soft velvety foam – up to 400 litres per minute – while merging LED lighting with a delicate fragrance to create a multi-sensory experience.

Our hero product is HydroMassage, a self-guided warm water experience designed for busy health club environments. Members remain fully clothed while receiving a personalised warm water relaxation experience where heated water jets move along the body.

The experience helps promote relaxation and provides a soothing experience after exercise, making it an easy and enjoyable way to take a short break and unwind. Many members incorporate HydroMassage into their club visit, as it only takes 10 minutes and because it feels amazing after any form of activity.

For operators, it enhances the member experience without adding staffing complexity, and can be incorporated into premium tiers.

HydroMassage enhances the member experience without adding staffing complexity

Who’s using it?

HydroMassage is currently in use at health clubs including Planet Fitness, Crunch, Life Time, David Lloyd Clubs, Fitness Park, Virgin Active, PureGym, Trainmore, Gym Box, XTRAFIT and many more.

What’s new?

Our newest additions are PolarWave Dry Plunge – a cold plunge experience without getting wet – and the RedZone Sauna, which combines red light and infrared heat.

Our hero product is Power Plate Pro8 – the largest, most advanced model in our portfolio. Features include embedded exercise videos and an integrated LCD touchscreen, as well as electronically-controlled Promotion resistance cables. 

Power Plate Pro8 delivers whole‑body vibration that increases muscle activation, improving strength and balance. It also enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage, supporting recovery and reducing stiffness. Vibration boosts flexibility and range of motion, and can stimulate improvements in bone density through mechanical loading. These benefits make it valuable for strength, mobility, recovery and healthy ageing

Clubs can promote Power Plate as a science‑backed recovery enhancer

Clubs can create dedicated recovery zones with short guided sessions and offer post‑workout demos so members experience immediate relief.

They can also emphasise the benefits for all ages, including improved mobility and healthy ageing, supported by whole‑body vibration research.
