Archimedes Banya
After a hard week of training, I spend 90 minutes here cycling between the hot room and the cold plunge. My legs recover faster than they do from any other single intervention.
Russian banya with real heat, real cold, and a culture built around contrast therapy. The best recovery protocol in the city short of the Dolphin Club.
