Are you in one of these groups?

• Elderly: As the body becomes older it becomes less effective at dealing with cardiovascular stress. Consequently elderly people should modify their bathing regime to ensure that they are not over stressed.
• Pregnant women: Pregnant women are advised not to use saunas or similar heat treatments or should seek medical advice before doing so.
• Diabetics: People with diabetes may need to check with their doctor before sauna bathing.

Steam room

Be aware that:

• A steam room operates at a temperature of 40-50 degrees C at 80-100% humidity. Make sure that this is comfortable for you.

• Relax for six to twelve minutes or less if not comfortable.
• Leave the steam room and cool down either gradually or immediately by talking a cold shower to close the pores of the skin.
• Return to the steam room for a further six to twelve minutes.
• The hot and cold cycle can be repeated as often as comfort allows. For most people two exposures are sufficient, the real benefits of relaxation and stress reduction only occur at the next stage. Too long an exposure may result in nausea, dizziness or fainting.
• When you are ready to complete the steam session, leave the steam room, cool down, take a final cold shower.
• Sit or ideally lie under a towel and relax for fifteen to twenty minutes, or until the body temperature has returned to near normal before taking a final warm shower and dressing.

• A suitable area outside the Centre should be identified for the dog to relieve itself and for the removal of excrement.
• Applying discipline to the dog is the owner's responsibility. If any problems do occur, discuss them with the owner who will be keen to make sure that the dog is not a nuisance.

Guidance Notes

• The area allocated for the dog to rest should be away from the general public. A quiet area, such as the manager's office.
• Consider allocating an additional rest area within the fitness suite e.g. in the consultation room so that users can have the dog closer to them.
• If a user leaves the dog, they may require additional assistance within the Centre. This should be ascertained through discussion with the individual.
• In general, a user will not wish to have the dog remain with them whilst exercising in the fitness suite as these are noisy environments and the user can be better assisted by fitness suite staff. There may also be a health and safety consideration from having assistance dogs within the fitness suite due to the close proximity of some equipment and the risk from moving parts. However, some users may require the dog to assist them within the fitness suite and the appropriateness of this may be discussed with the user on an individual basis.
