The ThreeSixty Recovery Zone…
Discover Recovery at Three Sixty Gym
Welcome to the Recovery Zone at Three Sixty Gym – proud to be the only dedicated Recovery Zone in Walton-on-Thames. We've created a dedicated space where you can invest in your physical and mental wellbeing through a range of specialist recovery treatments.
Whether you're looking to enhance your fitness journey, improve athletic performance, support recovery or relieve everyday stress, our treatments cater to a wide range of needs and lifestyles. They are also ideal for those recovering from illness or injury, as well as anyone looking to invest in their overall wellbeing. Our aim is to help you feel your best, whatever your individual goals.
From cryotherapy and infrared sauna to red light therapy and compression boots, we bring together four specialist treatments under one roof. At Three Sixty Gym, you can combine your training, recovery and wellbeing routines in one convenient location. Each treatment can be enjoyed individually, or for the ultimate recovery experience, you can combine all four in our exclusive Recovery Circuit – bringing together four complementary technologies in one dedicated session.
Our Recovery Treatments
Cryotherapy Chamber
Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short, controlled period using a specialist cryotherapy chamber. This brief exposure to cold triggers the body's natural responses to temperature change.
Infrared Sauna
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas use infrared light to warm the body directly rather than primarily heating the surrounding air. This creates a warming experience that can help you relax and unwind.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy (RLT) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to interact with cells in the body. This process is often referred to as photobiomodulation.
Compression Boots
Compression boots use controlled, sequential air pressure to gently compress different areas of the legs. The pressure inflates and deflates in sections, creating a massage-like sensation.
THE THREE SIXTY RECOVERY CIRCUIT
Four Treatments. One Complete Recovery Experience.
For the ultimate recovery experience, discover our exclusive Three Sixty Recovery Circuit.
Combining all four of our specialist treatments into one dedicated session, the Recovery Circuit brings together cryotherapy, infrared sauna, red light therapy and compression boots in a convenient, structured routine.
Rather than booking each treatment separately, you can experience all four as part of one complete recovery session, making it easier to incorporate different recovery technologies into your routine.
Whether you're looking to complement your training, support physical recovery or simply dedicate some time to your overall wellbeing, our Recovery Circuit offers a convenient way to experience everything the Recovery Zone has to offer.
Prefer to choose your own treatments? All four facilities are also available to book individually.

Why Should Recovery Be Part of Your Routine?
Recovery isn't just about resting after exercise. It's about giving your body the opportunity to adapt, recharge and maintain a healthy balance.
Our Recovery Zone in Walton-on-Thames offers a combination of treatments that support different aspects of physical and mental wellbeing. Whether you're a regular gym-goer, an athlete, a busy professional or simply looking to take better care of yourself, incorporating recovery into your routine can be a valuable part of a balanced lifestyle.
Here are some of the areas our four treatments may help support.
-
Reduced muscle soreness: Cryotherapy supports the reduction of muscle soreness and discomfort following intense exercise.
Inflammation management: Red light therapy helps reduce inflammation and supports cellular recovery.
Improved circulation: Compression boots support venous blood flow, helping with circulation, feeling of heaviness and temporary fluid build-up in the legs.
Muscle relaxation: Infrared sauna provides deep penetrating heat, increasing blood flow to tired and stiff muscles, helping to ease DOMS, joint stiffness, and chronic aches.
-
Support tissue repair: Red light therapy supports cellular activity and the body's natural tissue repair processes.
Ease muscle and joint discomfort: Cryotherapy provides relief from certain aches and discomfort, helping you feel more comfortable during recovery.
Improve circulation: Compression boots support blood flow in the legs and help reduce temporary swelling and feelings of heaviness.
Relieve stiffness and tension: Infrared sauna provides gentle warmth that helps relax tight muscles and ease stiffness.
Our treatments may complement a professionally guided rehabilitation programme and support general wellbeing during recovery. They are not a replacement for physiotherapy, medical advice or prescribed treatment.
-
Mind-body awareness: The cryotherapy experience encourages you to focus on your breathing and how your body feels.
Create a bedtime routine: An evening infrared sauna session may form part of a relaxing routine before bedtime.
A moment of calm: Red light therapy provides an opportunity to enjoy a quiet session dedicated to your own wellbeing.
Relax tired legs: Compression boots provide a gentle, rhythmic pressure sensation that can feel soothing after a busy day.
These treatments support relaxation and general wellbeing but are not treatments for anxiety, sleep disorders or other mental health conditions.

Hormones play an important role in regulating many of the body's functions, including stress responses, sleep, energy and mood. Some recovery treatments can trigger temporary physiological responses involving hormones and other signaling chemicals.
Cortisol (stress hormone): Cortisol helps regulate the body's response to stress. Relaxation through activities such as infrared sauna support general stress management.
Adrenaline (fight-or-flight hormone): Cryotherapy triggers a cold-stress response that can temporarily increase adrenaline, raising alertness, heart rate and energy levels.
Endorphins (natural feel-good chemicals): Cold exposure and physical activity can influence endorphin activity, which is associated with mood, pain regulation and feelings of wellbeing.
Melatonin (sleep hormone): Melatonin helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle. The infrared sauna can help prepare the body for sleep,

Metabolism describes the processes through which your body converts food into energy. Certain treatments can have a short-term influence on the body's energy use
Increase energy expenditure: Cryotherapy exposes the body to cold, triggering thermogenesis as your body works to maintain its core temperature, temporarily increasing energy use.
Temporary metabolic response: Infrared sauna raises body temperature and heart rate, increasing the body's energy demands while it responds to heat.
Support cellular energy: Red light therapy impacts mitochondrial activity, which plays an important role in how cells produce and use energy.
Support metabolic health: Regular physical activity, quality sleep and good recovery habits all help support the body's normal metabolic processes. Our recovery treatments can complement this wider approach to wellbeing.
Although some treatments can temporarily affect energy expenditure and cellular activity, none should be considered a proven weight-loss method or a replacement for exercise and a balanced diet.
