WE JUST GOT COOLER.

AND HOTTER.



New cold plunge pools and saunas coming soon. 



HOT. COLD. VERY COOL.


Bigger, better saunas are on the way, and for the first time to Les Mills, cold plunge pools. It’s the perfect setup for improved recovery, mood boosting, and that fresh, clear-headed feeling you can’t fake. Best of all, it’s all included in your membership.

FAQS


What’s coming to Taranaki Street?

We’re adding a dedicated recovery space featuring larger saunas and cold plunge pools, in each of the men's and women's changing rooms, designed to support your recovery, circulation, and post-training reset.  

What’s happening at Taranaki Street right now?

Works have commenced with phase one underway. 11 carparks are closed and from 6 April:

  • Saunas are closed
  • Back locker bays in each changing room are closed
  • 4 rear showers in each changing room are temporarily unavailable
  • Minor disruptions to the gym floor may occur

We will keep you updated on works as the project continues. 

Why are we building this?

Member feedback consistently highlighted the need for a larger sauna space. This upgrade delivers more access, more space, and better recovery facilities.

What are the benefits of the cold plunge pools?

Cold plunges offer benefits like faster muscle recovery by reducing inflammation and soreness, enhanced mental health through mood-boosting endorphins and stress resilience, a stronger immune system, and improved circulation.

Will this affect my access to the club?

The club will remain open while these works happen. Only specific areas will be adapted during the build, and we’ll communicate any temporary changes clearly in advance. A few showers in each changing room will be out of order during the works (to allow contractors to be able to work in both areas during normal working hours to complete works faster). There will be hoarding up blocking off the construction zone.

Will I still be able to use the sauna while works are underway?

No, the saunas will be out of action during the duration of the works at our Taranaki Street location. However, you’re welcome to use the sauna facilities at our Hutt City club, which are available in both the men’s and women’s changing rooms. 

When will the new recovery spaces be open?

Reopening inJuly 2026. We’ll keep members informed via email, app notifications, and in-club updates as soon as dates are confirmed. 

Is there an extra cost to use these new spaces?

No, these spaces will be free for all members as part of your membership. 

Will there be any noise or disruption?

There may be some typical construction noise at times. We’re scheduling works to reduce impact during peak club hours and will keep members updated on what to expect. 

How can I stay informed of progress?

We’ll share progress updates via email, Les Mills NZ app notifications, and notices in-club so you always know what’s happening and when. 

Who can I talk to if I have questions?

Our club team is here to help. Please feel free to stop by reception and speak to a team member if you have questions during the build.
You’re also welcome to speak directly with one of our managers, or scan one of the QR codes around the club. These will take you to our FAQ page or to a dedicated space where you can ask questions or share feedback about the works.
