Thermal Suites

Our Thermal Suites & Hydrotherapy Pool definitely add a completely new dynamic to your Didsbury Gym membership. After a hard workout or a long day at work, you can relax your muscles in our Hydrotherapy Pool where a combination of floor, seating and cannon jets will tackle any unwanted knots or tension. Make the most of a lazy Sunday afternoon by stepping into our sauna to cleanse away any unwanted toxins or alleviate symptoms of anger or anxiety by immersing yourself in our Aroma & Salt-Infused steam rooms. We have something for everyone and with all the above being inclusive in your membership package, you’d be mad not to come and see it for yourself.
