Recovery has quietly become its own category here, and it splits into two kinds: the hot-and-cold rooms attached to gyms, and standalone studios doing bodywork, light therapy and breathwork. Bondi being Bondi, several of them will also sell you the ocean as the cold plunge, which is free and open all year.
5 of these 8 publish a casual visit, drop-in class or trial, so you can use them while visiting without joining anything.
