I recently visited Elements for a contrast therapy session with a group of guys, and it was an unforgettable experience. The venue itself is fantastic, with a beautifully designed sauna that provides the perfect space to warm up and unwind. The cold baths were equally impressive, delivering the ideal level of refreshment and rejuvenation after the heat. It made for an excellent team-building and bonding activity—there’s nothing like sharing that initial cold shock and the subsequent warmth with good friends. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, guiding us through the process with ease and ensuring we made the most out of the experience. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do, and it made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. Overall, I’d highly recommend Elements for anyone looking for a unique and invigorating way to spend time with friends or colleagues. It’s a solid 10 out of 10!

I took part a week ago to the Contrast Therapy at Saint Michael's Recovery and Retreat as part of an event organized by St. Joseph Realty Team. After prayers and reflections, we cycled through open air ice bath and sauna for three hours, ending with a delicious dinner and friendly discussions. This experience was deeply impactful and allowed me to re-center myself. I can only recommend to anyone looking for healing and a deeper sense of focus and love to visit Saint Michael's Recovery and Retreat. You won't be disappointed!

If your looking for comradery, self reflection, support and getting out of your comfort zone I can definitely say you'll leave this place grounded and your cup filled outside of the superficial. My experience was something I will now want and need again and again and again. I belive this is one of the things in today's the world we are lacking and missing. Bonding is so important. Do yourself a favor and please check it out.

We booked a session at Elements for a group of men from our church for some bonding and experience some healthy 'suffering' with hot-cold (contrast) therapy. This was exactly what we were looking for and we will be going again. The facilities are fantastic as is the hospitality of the hosts. We left feeling rejuvenated after this unique experience! Thank you!

Highly recommending an experience at elements… Great people and great community. The contrast therapy is very hot to very cold. Personally on my first time I could only last up to 30 seconds in the ice bath at a time. Now, I really want to train my body to last longer and get that natural high.
