The Haven Tranquility Memberships -

there are 8 excellent reasons to join – as a NON “E” word member (Non-Exercise)!

We have a limited number of The Haven Tranquility Memberships available.

So what is a Tranquility membership at The Haven? Maybe you have never considered joining any fitness club before because all that sweating in a racket ball court is a horrible thought, running endlessly on a treadmill sends you into a spin, or you can’t or won’t swim.

Well now you can consider joining our center as a non-exercise member!

1)      Relaxation – take time out in a tranquil setting – gardens are peaceful with the sound of birds and a meandering stream with small waterfalls. There are five tranquil water features. Inside we have an area dedicated to relaxation.

2)      Complementary tea is available all day in our relaxation area.

3)      The use of the steam capsules are available to you – for a moist atmosphere – enabling your body to detox and relax.

4)      You will have access to the Infrared Saunas (separate his and hers) – this is a dry heat *see below the research evidence – infrared is a superior detox. However, later in the year we will also have a traditional mixed sauna outside, plus a plunge pool, in a secluded part of the garden.

5)      Join your FITNESS friends or partner – you will no longer be left out.

6)      Members discounts on classes, workshops, courses etc – covering various subjects (most have nothing to do with sports or fitness).

7)      Members have access to considerable reductions on treatment packages when they join.

8)      We have a small free lending library of books for members to take home for up to a month.

9)       We are a child-free zone, no children under 18. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this policy. However, most people are grateful that we are truly a haven.  The only exception to this is for brief visits for the duration of a treatment ie acupuncture etc.

PART TIME – Maybe you are not here all the year round – we have part-time memberships for both Tranquility and Fitness

Find out now about joining – you will be surprised how reasonable it is.

Numbers of Tranquility Memberships are being limited and we have people who have already signed up. Open 7 days a week – Monday to Saturday 7 to 7 Sunday 9 to 4.

If you are interested – email me (Sonia) or phone Howard 64915579 or phone our manager Priscilla on 730 9345 for more details and a tour.

*Why did we choose infrared saunas for the Haven? See the analysis –

More detoxing and regeneration. It must be remembered that the heat from an infrared is completely different from a traditional sauna, certainly more bearable.

Analysis of one litre of sweat in an ordinary sauna contains approximately 3% toxins. However, one litre of sweat from an infrared sauna was 20% !!! What a difference.

Analysis of sweat in an infrared sauna – 80 to 85% water, fat, cholesterol, acids, salt, ammonia, and heavy metals like lead – cadmium – nickel – copper.

Flush out with water at all times – drink enough water before and after each session.

Did you know that using an infrared sauna

1 Improves the immune system

2 Reduces cellulite

3 Reduces weight

4 Helps skin conditions like – acne, eczema, psoriasis etc

5 Improves vitality

6 Helps with stress

7 Helps the cardio-vascular system and blood pressure

8 Excellent for pain relief – joints, aches and pains, gout, arthritis etc.

9 A more effective detox as already discussed – helps yeast infections like candidia

10 Helps with cholesterol levels

11 Helps with lung conditions like bronchitis

Infrared heat is a completely safe form of naturally occurring energy that travels 2 to 3 inches deep, unlike a conventional sauna. Infrared sauna therapy allows increased blood circulation to carry greater amounts of nutrients and oxygen to every cell in the body. Safer for the more mature folks than a conventional sauna.
