Xtra Clubs
Xtra Clubs, set to open in Bondi Junction, Sydney in February 2024, is a wellness facility offering affordable access to sauna, ice bath and steam room facilities. It's located in the Oxford St Mall, easily accessible by public transport and car with parking options nearby. The club aims to make contrast therapy, often seen as a luxury for athletes and the wealthy, available to everyone.
Their traditional sauna, inspired by Finnish design, features automatic water spray and air circulation for consistent heat and humidity. For cold therapy enthusiasts, custom-built ice baths with adjustable temperatures from 4°C to 10°C allow members to engage in contrast therapy. The infrared saunas, hosting 3-4 guests, are ideal for socialising while enjoying the benefits of infrared light therapy. The steam room, based on Turkish hamam principles, offers a spacious environment for relaxation and cleansing. After sessions, gender-neutral shower and change rooms provide privacy and comfort.
Membership at Xtra Clubs starts at $23.95 per week, cutting the costs of regular sauna, ice and steam access by about 75% compared to current market prices. This membership includes unlimited off-peak access and specified peak-hour access. If the maximum session duration is exceeded, a small fee is charged. Members can access all Xtra Clubs locations with one membership and receive a fresh bath towel for each session.
In short, Xtra Clubs is bringing the health benefits of sauna, steam and ice therapy to a broader audience in a central, convenient location in Bondi Junction. With a variety of thermal experiences and a focus on accessibility, it's a promising addition to the health and wellness scene.
