Swimming Pool, Sauna, Steam Room & Jacuzzi — Tiptree
Four dedicated wellness facilities available to Atlantis members, designed for recovery, relaxation and a healthier approach to daily life.
Swimming Pool
Enjoy low-impact exercise, recovery sessions or peaceful leisure swimming in our pool. Ideal for all ages and fitness levels, and a popular choice for members looking to complement their gym training with low-impact cardiovascular exercise.
Sauna
Our sauna is one of the most popular facilities at Atlantis — used for post-workout recovery, stress relief and general wellbeing. Regular sauna use is associated with improved circulation, reduced muscle tension and lower cortisol levels, making it a genuine health benefit rather than a luxury add-on.
Steam Room
Step into a calming steam environment designed to ease tension, open airways and support skin health. The steam room is a favourite for members looking to unwind after training or simply enjoy a moment of calm in a warm, therapeutic space.
Jacuzzi
Soak away muscle tension and recharge in our jacuzzi — a popular spot after a training session or as part of a longer spa visit. Combined with the sauna and steam room, the jacuzzi forms part of a full contrast wellness circuit that members return to again and again.
A Wellness Club Built Around Balance
Atlantis has been at the heart of the Tiptree community since 2005 — a family-run gym and spa that has always put people over profit and atmosphere over scale. It's the kind of place where everyone knows your name, and where coming in to relax feels as natural as coming in to train.
Members consistently tell us that the atmosphere at Atlantis is what keeps them coming back. There are no queues, no intimidating crowd and no sense that you need to justify spending an hour in the sauna rather than on the gym floor. Wellbeing here means the whole picture.
Whether you use the spa to complement your fitness routine, to manage stress or simply to carve out some time for yourself each week, Atlantis provides a genuinely welcoming space to do it — something increasingly hard to find at larger clubs and leisure centres in the Colchester area.
Recovery & Wellbeing After Exercise
Recovery is where fitness progress is actually made — and Atlantis is one of the few gyms near Colchester that gives it the proper space and facilities it deserves. Our spa is designed to work alongside your training, not as an afterthought.
Post-workout sauna use helps flush lactic acid, reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and accelerate recovery between sessions. The steam room supports respiratory health and skin circulation. The pool allows continued low-impact movement without joint stress. And the jacuzzi does what nothing else quite does after a hard session.
Members who integrate regular spa use into their routine consistently report better sleep, lower perceived stress levels and improved overall energy. It's not an indulgence — it's a smarter way to train.
The Benefits of Regular Spa Use at Atlantis
Stress Relief & Mental Clarity
Regular sauna and steam room use is clinically shown to reduce cortisol levels, ease mental tension and promote a sense of calm — helping you leave feeling genuinely restored.
Muscle Recovery
Heat therapy improves blood flow to tired muscles, reduces DOMS and accelerates recovery between training sessions — so you can train harder, more consistently.
Circulation & Cardiovascular Health
Sauna use has been linked to improved cardiovascular function, lower blood pressure and better circulation — benefits that compound with regular use over time.
Low-Impact Exercise
Our pool provides a gentle, joint-friendly way to stay active — ideal for injury recovery, older members or anyone looking to complement high-intensity training with something easier on the body.
Skin Health
The steam room opens pores, improves skin circulation and helps the body eliminate toxins through sweat — a natural glow-up that no skincare product quite replicates.
A Healthier Routine
Having access to pool, sauna, steam and jacuzzi as part of your membership makes it genuinely easier to build recovery and relaxation into your week — not as a treat, but as a habit.
Combine Spa Access with Beauty Treatments
Atlantis offers a full menu of professional beauty and wellness treatments alongside the spa facilities — facials, massage, lash lift & tint, waxing, shellac nails, Perfector non-surgical facelift therapy and bespoke spa days. Many guests combine a beauty treatment with a full afternoon in the pool, sauna and jacuzzi for a complete wellness experience near Colchester.
