What's in the room
Five pieces of equipment, what each one is and what it's like to use. What each one does for you is on its own service page.
The equipment
Every piece in the room, by name, and what it's like to use.
Full-spectrum infrared sauna, with chromotherapy
A cabin, not a steam room. Infrared heats you rather than the air, so it runs cooler than a traditional sauna and feels different. The chromotherapy is the coloured light inside it.
Two plunge tubs, cold and hot, side by side
Black basins framed in teak, one cold and one hot, set next to each other rather than in different rooms. That adjacency is the point: nothing cools off between rounds.
NormaTec compression boots
Sleeves that inflate in sequence from the foot up. You sit in a recliner with your legs in them and do nothing for the duration, which is most of the appeal.
LightpathLED red light panels
A full-height panel of red and near-infrared LEDs, plus a narrower tower beside it. You stand or sit in front of it. A mild warmth, and nothing like the sauna.
Whole-body vibration plate
A low platform that oscillates while you stand on it. People use it at the start of a visit rather than the end.
Five pieces of equipment, named: a full-spectrum infrared sauna with chromotherapy, two plunge tubs side by side, NormaTec compression boots, LightpathLED red light panels, and a whole-body vibration plate. Each one has its own page, with what it's like and who it's for.
The one thing about the room worth knowing
The two tubs sit next to each other.
It sounds like a detail about the furniture, and it's really why the sequence works. You go straight from the cold into the heat and back again, instead of cooling off in a hallway between them. That's what lets the protocol run as one smooth sequence.
Where to read about each one
- Infrared sauna: warmth in a cedar-lined cabin, step one of the protocol.
- Cold plunge: three minutes cold, three hot, twice through, then a cold dunk, and when to plunge if you lift.
- Compression lounge: the easy part, sleeves on your legs after the plunges.
- Massage therapy: hands-on clinical work for the spot that won't settle.
- Red light therapy: the gentle one, a few minutes at the end of a visit.
- Vibration therapy: a few minutes on the plate, after compression.

Coming from the old site?
The old lab had more machines than this: an e-stim unit, a rapid release tool, a percussion gun and ice compression. Those belonged to the athlete lab, and we won't tell you something is in a room before it's in the room. The rebrand page has the rest of what changed.
Our story is how the studio came to be, and who runs it.

Generator is a recovery studio, not a medical provider. Nothing here diagnoses or treats a condition, and it isn't a substitute for advice from your own clinician.
