Contrast Therapy
ANIMO CINQUANTENAIRE
AV. D’AUDERGHEM 68-70
A social bathhouse built for connection & recovery.
This modern, communal bathhouse was built around contrast therapy using sauna and cold immersion, both in guided and open formats. This dedicated recovery space, located nearby the changing rooms, has 2 dry saunas and 4 ice baths (3 singles & one group bath) as well as a relaxing lounge area.
Cycle between heat and cold and relax in the lounge area at your own pace in our “Open Sessions”, or join one of our “Free Flow Sessions” where facilitator is present to assist and will lead occasional aufguss/towel waving rituals, aromatherapy, as well as to help with breathwork during ice bath immersions.
Unlimited complimentary access is included for all SWPC™ membership holders.
