Annacloy, Co. Down · Opening Saturday 31 October
Recovery for the body. Reset for the mind. Infrared sauna, compression boots and contrast therapy — a dedicated recovery lounge in Annacloy, County Down.
01 — The lounge
Recovery used to mean a long drive. Now it's on your doorstep.
Baseline Recovery is a modern recovery and wellbeing space built for the people who actually train — GAA and football clubs, runners, cyclists, CrossFitters, swimmers, and anyone who finishes the week stiff and wrecked.
Science-backed, properly equipped and deliberately unclinical. Dark, warm and quiet inside — somewhere to spend an hour that isn't the pub.
02 — Services
Deep, dry infrared heat that works on the muscle rather than just the air around you. The easiest way to end a hard week.
Sit back, boots on, legs flushed. The one every runner and footballer asks for after a hard session or a match.
Ice bath and jacuzzi, alternating between the two. Hot, cold, repeat — the sharpest reset we do, and the one people get hooked on.
Recovery is the part of training nearly everyone skips. Done properly and regularly, here's what it's for.
Back up training sessions and matches without carrying last week's legs into them.
A consistent recovery routine keeps niggles from turning into weeks on the sideline.
Phone away, heat on, nothing to do. An hour that genuinely switches you off.
Heat, compression and cold all move blood — useful whether you're 22 or 72.
Choosing the cold on purpose makes everything else feel a bit more manageable.
A social space built around feeling well, rather than around a bar.
03 — Book a session

Book the full circuitPost-match recovery for GAA, football, rugby and running clubs. Saunas, boots, ice bath and jacuzzi, plus massage guns and foam rollers. Priced to suit the size of your group — get in touch to arrange a club night.
Unlimited sessions — sauna, compression boots and contrast therapy, any time we're open. Worth it from around five visits a month, so it pays for itself if you're training through the week. Sign up on the booking page.
04 — How it works
Choose one, two or all three services and pick a time that suits.
Changing area and toilets on site. Bring shorts or swimwear and a towel.
Conán will talk you through the order and timings for what you're training for.
Loose, clear-headed and ready for whatever's on tomorrow.
05 — The founder
I'm Conán Hynds. Sport has always been a big part of my life — playing GAA and football, then coaching, then digging into the science behind performance.
Baseline Recovery is the next step: bringing proper recovery kit to County Down so people don't have to travel for it. Every protocol here is based on what actually gets used by athletes, not what sounds good on a price list.
Afternoons and evenings through the week, early doors at the weekend.
