Take your pick of two different types of sauna and a steam room following a refurbishment at North Herts Leisure Centre in Baldock Road, Letchworth.

Special shower

The area includes a traditional sauna cabin, which helps to relax your muscles while deep cleaning your body, and a steam room which helps clear your mind while the steam soothes and heals your skin. Plus a brand new infrared sauna (pictured above) which is perfect for helping with soft tissue and sports injuries as it can help relieve inflammation, stiffness and soreness by increasing blood circulation and allowing the infrared heat to relax muscles and improve circulation.

The area also includes a heated bench and special shower (pictured) - a cold rinse is often recommended as part of your cooldown and to further cleanse your skin by rinsing loosened impurities and closing pores.

Councillor Steve Jarvis, Executive Member for Environment and Leisure, said: “The refurbished area looks very smart and we hope local residents will enjoy using the new facilities. This area hadn’t been refurbished since 2006 so the council agreed to invest £150,000 to ensure it is fit for purpose.”

The award-winning North Herts Leisure Centre is operated by Stevenage Leisure Limited (SLL) on the council's behalf. It offers a wide range of activities for all ages and abilities including a Technogym fitness suite, swimming pool and learner pool, four court indoor sports hall, squash courts, and a variety of classes. Membership options include monthly direct debit or pay as you go – join online, at reception or call 01462 679 311.
