RECOVERY
Introducing the Carolina Iron Recovery Room NOW OPEN
AVAILABLE TO VIP MEMBERS ONLY
SAUNA
Separated Male & Female Saunas
The Recovery Room is home to two separate dry saunas capable of reaching 200 degrees. Each sauna can fit 8 VIP members comfortably.
Health Benefits:
-
Cardiovascular: short-term increases in heart rate and circulation similar to moderate exercise; may improve vascular function and blood pressure over time with regular use.
-
Heat shock protein response: stimulates heat shock proteins that support cellular repair, inflammation reduction, and metabolic benefits.
-
Improved recovery and muscle relaxation: reduces muscle tension, may ease soreness after exercise.
-
Enhanced sweating and skin cleansing: deep sweating can help remove surface toxins and unclog pores.
-
Stress reduction and mental relaxation: promotes relaxation, reduces perceived stress, may improve mood and sleep.
Normatec Elite Legs
by Hyperice
We offer Normatec Compression Leg Sleeves in the Recovery Room. Members typically wear them in a zero gravity chair.
Health Benefits:
-
Speeds post‑exercise recovery: reduces perceived muscle soreness and fatigue after intense exercise and may help athletes return to training sooner (improvement mainly in subjective soreness and short‑term recovery metrics).
-
Reduces limb swelling and edema: effective at moving interstitial fluid and lymph, helpful after long travel, heavy training, or injury‑related swelling.
-
Enhances circulation: sequential compression improves venous return and local blood flow, which can aid nutrient delivery and metabolite clearance.
-
Improves perceived recovery and readiness: many users report reduced stiffness and increased comfort/leg readiness.
-
Aids soft‑tissue recovery when combined with other modalities: works well alongside active recovery, stretching, cold therapy, or compression garments.
-
May help with acute soft‑tissue inflammation control: by limiting fluid accumulation and promoting clearance (not a substitute for medical treatment).
KYOTA KIZUNA M688
MASSAGE CHAIR
Come relax in our luxury massage chair.
Health Benefits:
-
Muscle relaxation and reduced tension: kneading, rolling, and percussion relax tight muscles and reduce stiffness.
-
Improved circulation: mechanical massage and compression can increase local blood flow and venous return.
-
Pain relief and reduced soreness: may help chronic low‑back, neck, and shoulder discomfort and reduce post‑exercise soreness (symptom relief, not cure).
-
Reduced stress and improved relaxation: activates parasympathetic response, lowering perceived stress and improving mood.
-
Improved sleep quality: relaxation and stress reduction often translate to easier sleep onset and better sleep for some users.
-
Lymphatic and edema support (mild): air‑compression sections can aid fluid movement in limbs.
-
Increased joint mobility and flexibility: regular gentle mobilization and stretching programs built into chairs can help range of motion.
-
Convenience for recovery and maintenance: supports recovery routines when combined with stretching, hydration, and activity.
THERABODY THERAGUN PRO PLUS
Our last amenity of the recovery room can be found on the charger underneath the TV.
Health Benefits:
1. Pain Relief & Muscle Tension Reduction
The Pro Plus uses powerful percussive therapy (rapid, repeated pressure) to help relieve minor aches, muscle tightness, and soreness after workouts or long days of activity. It interrupts pain signals and relaxes tissue tension, which many users find effective for muscle discomfort.
2. Faster Recovery & Reduced Inflammation
Combining percussive massage with heat or vibration encourages blood flow and circulation, which can speed up recovery from strenuous exercise and help reduce inflammation. Heat helps loosen stiff muscles, while vibration enhances circulation in joints and sensitive areas.
3. Improved Circulation & Mobility
Better local blood flow from massage and heat can increase oxygen delivery to muscles, improve flexibility, and temporarily boost range of motion — useful before workouts or for daily activities.
4. Multiple Therapy Modalities in One Device
The Pro Plus isn’t just a percussive massager — it also supports:
-
Near-infrared LED light therapy, which may improve muscle oxygenation and reduce fatigue.
-
Vibration therapy for joint and soft-tissue tension.
-
Heat therapy to pre-warm muscles and boost circulation.
-
Optional cold therapy attachment to further reduce swelling and inflammation after workouts.
5. Performance Enhancement & Warm-Up Prep
Applied before exercise, the device can help activate muscles, loosen stiffness, and prepare the body for performance — theoretically reducing injury risk and enhancing movement quality.
