❄️ My Recovery Experience at O-Studio
After the ride, I went straight into O-Studio Queenstown for a drop-in recovery session:
- Communal Sauna & Ice Bath – $40
- Float Therapy – $95
I started with three rounds of sauna and ice bath:
- 1-minute plunge – instant shock, but felt alive
- 2-minute round – body adjusted, energy kicking in
- 5-minute final round – pure adrenaline and mental reset
Then I jumped into the Salt Float for 45 minutes.
- First 10 mins, I couldn’t switch off — thinking about work, car keys, and dinner
- Then the lights went out, and I felt like I’d been taken by an alien
- Finally, I sank into deep, weightless relaxation, and every worry vanished
I walked out feeling recharged, calm, and lighter than air.
💧 Why It Works
- Cold Water / Ice Bath: Reduces muscle soreness, boosts circulation, and releases endorphins
- Sauna: Relaxes tight muscles, sweats out tension, and speeds up recovery
- Salt Float Therapy: Relieves joint pain, clears mental fog, and leaves you deeply relaxed
The combo of heat, cold, and float therapy is the ultimate post-adventure reset for biking, hiking, or skiing.
🍴 Refuel & Return
Before heading back, swing by Meat Preachers around the corner.
Their banging pulled pork sandwich is the perfect post-sauna reward.
Then cruise back along the Frankton Trail. Our high-performance e-bikes have plenty of battery to get you back feeling refreshed, happy, and ready for the evening.
Adventure, recovery, and relaxation — all in one perfect Queenstown half-day.
