Below is our visitor guide to Empire Performance Centre: how the facilities work, what a typical session looks like, what it costs, how to get there and which saunas are nearby if you want to compare options.

The traditional sauna at Empire Performance Centre is the stove-and-stones kind, which heats the air of the whole room. It feels hotter and more enveloping than infrared, so it suits people who enjoy a strong sweat and a proper cool-down between rounds. If you are new to it, sit lower down, where the air is cooler, and build up gradually.

Empire Performance Centre lists an ice bath, the colder end of contrast therapy. Ice baths are usually kept between about 0 and 5°C, so they are far more intense than a standard plunge pool. Short immersions of 30 seconds to two minutes are typical; focus on slow, steady breathing and never stay in longer than feels safe.

Empire Performance Centre combines training facilities with a sauna, which makes it easy to build heat into your regular routine. Expect shared facilities, gym etiquette (towel on the bench, rinse before entering) and peak-hour crowds before and after work. If you are visiting for the sauna alone, ask whether a recovery-only or casual pass is available.

Listed prices at Empire Performance Centre start from about $20 (30-minute sauna; ice bath $20). That is below the typical starting price of around $37 across the Perth saunas we list with published prices. Popular times, such as early mornings, evenings and weekends, fill up first, so book online where possible. Prices and session times change, so confirm the current rates directly with the venue before you go.

• Heat rises, so the top bench of a traditional sauna is noticeably hotter than the bottom one. Choose your level accordingly.
• Keep your first ice bath short: 30 seconds to a minute is plenty. Breathe slowly through the cold shock.
• Drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and leave the heat straight away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
• Check what Empire Performance Centre provides, such as towels, robes, lockers and toiletries, so you know what to pack.

Saunas and cold water are not for everyone. If you are pregnant or have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure or another medical condition, ask your doctor first.
