Memberships and pricing

What is XtraClubs?

XtraClubs is a wellness center offering sauna, ice, and steam facilities, promoting holistic health in convenient, community-focused locations.

What are Peak hours?

All weekly memberships include unlimited off-peak sessions as well as at least 1 peak session.

Peak hours are as follows:

  • Monday – Friday: 4pm – 9pm
  • Saturday: 9am – 6pm
  • Sunday: 12pm – 8pm
How do the weekly memberships work?

All weekly memberships include unlimited off-peak sessions as well as at least one peak session. Peak-hour access, session length and club access then step up with the tier.

Every membership is priced per week, and you choose the term. The rolling term has no lock-in and cancels on 28 days notice with no exit fee. An annual membership runs a 12-month term in exchange for the lower rate.

Current rates are on the memberships page.

Will I be able to go to all locations with my membership?

Elevate and Thrive memberships allow access to all locations. Flow and Essentials memberships are for one club only. If you would like to transfer your membership from one club to another please contact us.

Can I pause my membership?

Yes, members can pause their membership for up to 4 weeks per calendar year at no cost. To pause, open the app, click on your account icon, click membership details and press pause.

How do I cancel?

You can cancel any time in the members app.

A rolling membership needs 28 days notice, and you keep full access for all of it. There is no exit fee — you only pay for the days of that notice period you have not already paid for.

An annual membership runs a 12-month term in exchange for the lower rate. Once the term is up you can cancel with no notice period at all.

See the refund policy for the full terms.

Casual visits

Do I need to know what I'm doing?

No. There's no experience required and no right way to use the space. Move between them in whatever order suits you, stay as long as feels good, and leave whenever you have had enough.

Can I visit alone?

Yes, absolutely! Many of our guests visit by themselves. It's a great way to enjoy the experience at your own pace, and you'll be in warm, welcoming company the entire time.

Do I need swimmers or a towel?

Yes, appropriate swimwear is mandatory, as is towel use throughout the clubs. We offer convenient towel rentals if you need one.

Do I need to bring a water bottle?

No, although we recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated, we also have a drinks fridge for beverage purchases and water fountains available in the club.

Is there a recommended way to use XtraClubs?

There's no right or wrong answer but most people begin with the sauna to warm up, then move to the ice when they're ready. It's a lovely rhythm to follow, but feel free to find your own. Plenty of members finish in the steam room.

What is included in a session?

Your session includes access to all of our facilities, including Finnish Sauna, Infrared Sauna, Ice Baths and Steam Room. You can move freely between each throughout your session.

Do I have to use everything?

Not at all. Everything is available, but you choose what you want to experience. Spending your whole session in the sauna is a complete visit, and so is skipping the ice.

Can I talk during a Social Sauna session?

Absolutely. In fact, it is encouraged. Our Social Sauna events are specifically designed for conversation, connection, and music. It is the perfect environment to catch up with friends or meet new people while you enjoy the heat.

Is there alcohol served at the Social Sauna Events?

No, XtraClubs is an alcohol-free space. Our Social Saunas are about the “night out” vibe without the hangover. Instead of alcohol, we provide complimentary mocktail-style drinks in eskies around the club to keep you hydrated and feeling good.

Do I need to book to attend?

Yes, you will need to book your spot in advance via the XtraClubs app.

Do these sessions cost extra?

Not at all. These experiences are the same price as booking a standard visit. You can access them using your existing membership, or by purchasing a single session.

Can I talk during a Guided Session?

Guided Sessions are intended as a meditative and immersive experience, so we ask that you remain silent to allow everyone to focus on the breathwork and heat.

What if the heat gets too intense during a Guided Session?

Your comfort is always the priority. While our Guided Sessions are designed to challenge you slightly with heat variations, you are free to step out at any moment. If you need a break, simply exit the sauna quietly to cool down and re-join us when you feel ready.

Bookings and the app

How do I access XtraClubs when I arrive?

When you arrive, open the app and press the “Start Session” button. Please note that you can only start your session during your designated 30-minute reservation start time.

How do I know when my session has ended?

When you start your session, please take note of your session “end time.” You are required to finish by this time. Upon departure, end your session using the XtraClubs App; overstay fees may apply.

What if I need to cancel or change my reservation?

You can cancel your session up to 30 minutes before the start time. If you arrive early or late, you may shift your session by one time slot (30 minutes), subject to availability.

Can I book a session for friends?

Yes, we allow group bookings for up to 16 people. See group bookings for how it works.

Do I need to book the infrared sauna?

No, you just need to book a session and then you can move freely between the different facilities throughout your session.

Locations and access

When are you open?

We are open daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

Is there staff at the Club to assist me?

How is XtraClubs introducing Aufguss to the Australian wellness space?

We are blending authentic European tradition with the modern Australian lifestyle. While traditional Aufguss ceremonies can be long events, we have reimagined them as concise 10-minute Guided Sessions that fit easily into your day.

We honour the ritual by using essential oils, the sauna ladle, and expert heat circulation techniques, but we deliver it in a format that is accessible and consistent. It is about making this powerful thermal therapy a regular habit rather than a one-off occasion.
