The contrast therapy suite pairs an infrared sauna for one or two people with a cold plunge, and has a communal suite for up to seven women. Private group bookings are also available. The studio recommends contrast therapy two to three times a week, and suggests using it after Pilates for recovery. Prenatal and postpartum Pilates are covered on the website.
