Adding a stop in the steam room to your post workout routine can decrease your recovery time and help you feel healthier. While steam rooms should never replace treatments that your doctor has prescribed, they are a great place to unwind and reap some health benefits while you’re at it. Always practice good steam room hygiene by wearing flip-flops, sitting on a towel, and rinsing off with a lukewarm shower to get rid of bacteria after time in a steam room.
Our Sauna and Steam rooms are open 7 days a week at Newton Abbot Leisure Centre and Broadmeadow Sports Centre with changing rooms and lockers available.
Booking your session
Given rising energy costs, we encourage sauna and steam room users to book their visit with us. Booking ahead will allow us to ensure the facilities are turned on and ready for your arrival. If no one is booked in, we will look to turn off the facility to reduce energy use.
You can book on our Teignbridge Leisure App or by logging in to your My Profile Account.
What's the difference?
The sauna is an enclosed cabinet that produces dry heat and temperatures can range between 85 – 100°C. The sauna is for mixed gender use and can accommodate a maximum of 8 people at any one time.
The steam room is an enclosed cabinet that produces wet heat where temperatures can reach up to 50°C. The steam room is for mixed gender use and can accommodate up to a maximum of 8 people at any one time.
There are guidance posters on the walls beside the sauna and steam room. We recommend customers read these before using any of the above.
