Wellness & Recovery

Compression, massage chairs, and quiet rooms in every Altea club, set aside for the part of the visit where you stop moving. No appointments, no second address — just the habit that changes how tomorrow feels.

[experience]

Recovery usually means another appointment, another building, another fee — which is why it's the first thing to fall off the week. So we put it thirty steps from the training floor.

Tools for the in-between
NormaTec Compression Therapy

Fresh legs, faster

Legs wrapped, chair tilted back, and a slow wave of pressure moving from ankle to hip and back down. NormaTec does the work while the zero-gravity chair takes your weight out of the equation. Twenty minutes is usually enough, and every Altea club has them.

NormaTec systems pair sequential air compression with zero-gravity seating, creating a low-effort way to give tired legs focused attention.

Experience Showers

Hot, cold, and everything between

The experience showers sit between the cold and the heat, and make the switch between them easier. In, rinse, out, and on to the next round.

Experience showers and self-paced transitions connect the circuit. There is no single sequence every member has to follow.

Human Touch Massage Pods

Massage, no appointment needed

Human Touch chairs that work down through the shoulders, the spine, the hips. Choose a program, set the intensity, and stop making decisions for a while. Every club has them.

Human Touch massage chairs use customizable programs and extended massage tracks to work across the shoulders, back, hips, and legs.

PEMF

Deep recovery, zero effort

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy sends gentle waves through the body to support circulation and deep recovery while you simply lie still. It's the rare session where doing nothing is the whole point.

Red Light Therapy

Light that works while you rest

Specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, absorbed by skin and muscle to support repair and recovery. No heat, no effort — you sit in the light and let it do the work.

ShiftWave

Teach your body to switch off

A recovery chair that uses rhythmic pressure waves to guide your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into genuine rest. Fifteen minutes in the ShiftWave can undo what the whole day did to your shoulders.

Acupressure and Spinal Alignment

Alignment, guided

A guided spinal alignment experience from 3H Wellness Solutions — targeted decompression and posture work for the back. Especially good after long days at a desk or heavy days under a bar.

Contrast Therapy

The circuit worth slowing down for

Heat, cold, and rest in one circuit — sauna, plunge, and warm water arranged so you can move through contrast at your own pace. It's the corner of the club where time behaves differently.

Recovery Lounge

Where sessions end well

Compression boots, massage tools, and zero-gravity seating in one calm room. Fifteen minutes here after training pays you back tomorrow.

Steam Cabin

Steam it out

Where the circuit includes steam, the air is thick enough to feel the moment the door shuts. Wetter and heavier than the sauna, and quieter — people tend to stop talking in there.

Dry Sauna

The classic sweat

Dry heat and a bench, and every reason to stay. Every circuit has a sauna, and it’s the part you keep coming back to between everything else.

Dry saunas, infrared heat, steam, and warm-water experiences offer the other side of the circuit, helping the body transition back into warmth.

Cold Plunge

Two minutes of brave

Cold water at one end of the circuit. Getting in is the hard part; how long you stay is up to you. The sauna is a few steps away when you’re out.

Cold plunges and cooling environments bring focus to the moment. Exposure is brief, deliberate, and always guided by your own comfort.

Hot Tub

The warm finish

Warm water, jets, and no reason to hurry. The hot tub is where long sessions end and conversations start.

[FAQ]

Questions, answered

What to know before you plan a recovery-focused visit. Club teams can help with anything specific to your location.

What's in the Recovery Lounge?

Every club has NormaTec compression with zero-gravity chairs and Human Touch massage chairs. Most add Hyperice tools. A few have more — a salt lounge, a meditation pod, CryoLounge+.

Is access included in my membership?

It varies by club and by tier. Your club's pricing page has the detail.

Do I need to book?

Some equipment can be reserved; the MyAltea app shows what. Much of it you can simply use.

Is there massage therapy?

Not hands-on treatment — the lounge runs on massage chairs and self-guided equipment, so there's never an appointment to wait for.

Can I bring a guest?

Guests can use recovery services for an additional fee. Your club's front desk can set it up.
