Notes

However, the club page provides limited sauna-specific detail or dedicated sauna photos — members should contact the club directly for exact sauna access, rules, and availability.
• What makes this club different: Combination of robust weight/cardio floors and structured small-group VTL training, plus family-friendly services (Kid Zone) and focused recovery options (HydroMassage/massage chairs). Multiple membership network tiers give flexibility for local-only or multi-club access.
• Recommendation: If sauna access or specific spa services are a deciding factor, call the club or request a tour/free workout to confirm sauna availability, hours, and any reservation requirements.
