Membership + Spa Experience FAQs


Spa Experience operates at multiple locations across the UK.

Wherever you’re based, this membership gives you inclusive access to any facilities nationwide. View the full list of locations or simply enter your postcode to find your nearest Better spa.


Thermal spa facilities vary by location but typically include a sauna, hammam (heated seating), and a relaxation area. They also tend to offer other facilities like hydrotherapy pools and monsoon showers. See the full range of thermal spa therapies for more information.

Please note that thermal spa facilities are separate to the Health Suite saunas and steam rooms at the leisure centres. Only Spa Experience membership holders or pre-paid spa access can use the thermal spa.


With access to any leisure and spa facilities across the UK, along with a range of treatment and product discounts, we’d say that the UK-Wide + Spa Experience membership is definitely worth it.

As well as improving your own health and wellbeing, your monthly membership contributes to the community initiatives of our social enterprise. Take a look at our community stories to find out more.


A Gym + Spa membership is recommended for anyone looking for flexible access to all types of Better facilities with the additional use of Spa Experience*. As this membership option includes all Better centres across the UK, it’s also ideal for those who work or travel across the country.

*Spa Experience locations are available at 10 locations across the UK.


When signing up for this membership online, you can either choose a monthly membership or annual single payment at your chosen leisure centre. Gym + Spa membership is also available for employers and employees as a corporate membership .

We also offer other spa and gym membership types e.g. Multi-Centre (regional) and Off-Peak Spa memberships. These options are available as part of the Monthly membership + Spa Experience which includes facility access at specific centres or regions only.


Regular use of spa facilities can complement your gym workouts well. Here are a few examples of how time in the spa can benefit your training:

  • Pre-workout: Soaking in a hot pool, steam room, or sauna can help increase blood flow to muscles and raise your core body temperature ahead of a workout.
  • Post-workout: Using the spa after your gym session can improve circulation to help oxygen reach your muscles, aiding in recovery and relaxation.
  • Rest day: Scheduling a spa visit in your weekly workout plan gives your body time to recover and treatments like massages and facials can help you unwind even more.
  • General: Studies show that regular sauna and spa use can improve overall cardiovascular health, reduce temporary muscle soreness, and lower stress levels.
    Whether you visit the spa pre-workout, post-workout, or on rest days, within weeks you will start to feel the mental and physical benefits of spending time in the spa.
