Phase 03 The breath
Two guided breaths
before the first plunge
Phase 04 The cold
Four marine-grade steel baths from 4° to 21°. You pick the temperature, a facilitator holds the protocol, and the exhale you just practised carries you in. You'll go in twice this hour — the second time is easier.
One guided hour of heat, breath and cold that returns a wired nervous system to factory settings. Not a spa day. Not a workout. A protocol — and by the end of it, the quietest your head has been in months.
ILO / ee·lo / — Finnish for joy
Ninety degrees opens everything — circulation up, shoulders down, the day sweated out. Then the plunge: a gasp, one long exhale, and a calm you can't fake. Alternating heat and cold three times is a workout for the switch between stress and rest — the one modern life never lets you practise.
It's the protocol ILO runs to stimulate circulation, speed up muscle recovery and clear the head.
A facilitator guides all sixty minutes — you never have to think. The largest sauna in Barcelona — twenty-four of you, silent by minute fifteen — four steel baths from 4° to 21° so you choose your cold, and guided breath before every plunge.
Towels, lockers, showers and water included. No experience needed. Bring a swimsuit — that's the whole list.
Barcelona takes it out of you — sun, streets, late nights, jet lag. The Reset is the counterweight: the morning after you land, the day after the party, the hour before the flight home.
Locals build it into the week the way other cities build in a gym — the morning before work, the evening it all got too loud.
Everyone brings home photos. Bring home a nervous system that works.

A facilitator sets the heat, calls your plunge and walks you back out — at whatever temperature you pick. 247 people have rated that 5.0.
I'm impressed with this beautifully designed concept and had my first guided class today. Loved the experience! There is a very warm community feeling in the space and among the people who attended.
Amazing sessions! Every session is different. All great facilitators. And the interior… wow. Incredible! They really put love and attention in every detail.
What I really loved is the format: you can move at your own pace during the open hours, or join guided sessions where the team leads different practices like breathing exercises and other wellness rituals. They don't just work there — they really help create the whole atmosphere.
Felix is an amazing instructor — warm, knowledgeable and really good at making you feel completely at ease. The class was very well structured and easy to follow, while still feeling effective.
Barcelona needed a place like this so bad and this is perfect! Beautiful place, vibe and community! The guided sessions are the best!
Really good sauna and ice bath spot in bcn. We make a great session with Thommy on energy. The venue is spectacular and the founder present, polite and generous to the guests. 10/10
Such an amazing experience! From the warm welcome and the beautiful place to the incredible coach, I absolutely loved every moment!
So happy I found this place! Facilities are super nice, the people are great, the classes are ideal. I walked out of there feeling great. I look forward to working my way to the coldest bath.
I just did an amazing session. The place is beautifully done and the experience is exceptional. I am so energised. I have done sauna before, but nothing like this. It is a real sensory experience.
Just walked out of ILO Studio and I am still on a high! Seriously, if you're coming to Barcelona, make this the very first thing you do the day you land. It is the absolute ultimate cure for jet lag.
First of all the place, the interior and the staff are amazing, it's a gorgeous studio with all the facilities that you need! The staff are attentive and very friendly too!
Amazing experience, we went to the Saturday social, great chats, atmosphere and music with all around good vibes, and we felt fully recharged and detoxed after.
I have never seen this combination before: sauna, ice bath and meditation. I come here sometimes to treat myself. Every time I leave, I feel completely relaxed, which lasts all week.
Great experience and very lovely team. One of a kind in Barcelona. Definitely return back.
Una experiència molt saludable. He gaudit i m'he trobat molt còmode. Les instal·lacions són de 10! Hi tornaré! “A really healthy experience. I enjoyed it and felt very comfortable. The facilities are a 10! I'll be back.”
Amazing experience! The place and the staff are incredibly nice and the space is full of details. I fully recommend the place.
Best experience ever! We're fan :)
