Recovery Zone Upgrade

Recharge, Recover, Repeat: Why NARC’s Recovery Zone Is a Game-Changer

Whether you’re smashing out a HIIT session, pushing through a strength circuit, or just getting back into movement, recovery is the key to staying consistent and injury-free. At Northcote Aquatic & Recreation Centre (NARC), recovery isn’t just an afterthought—it’s a full experience.

Here’s why you’ll want to make the Recovery Zone your new favourite spot.

💺 Massage Chairs: Relaxation Meets Restoration

Available to all gym users, NARC’s massage chairs are designed to:

  • Reduce muscle tension after workouts
  • Improve circulation to help flush out lactic acid
  • Promote relaxation, which supports mental recovery too

All massage chair sessions must be booked in advance via the NARC Member App to ensure fair access.

🦵 Compression Boots: Your Legs Will Thank You

Compression boots are a favourite among athletes for a reason. At NARC, they offer:

  • Targeted pressure to reduce swelling and muscle soreness
  • Improved blood flow, speeding up recovery
  • Support for post-training fatigue, especially after leg-heavy sessions

These are exclusively available to Zone 4 members and must be booked in advance via the NARC Member App. Lower-tier memberships won’t be able to view or book these in the app.

💪 Massage Guns: Precision Recovery

Massage guns deliver deep tissue relief with pinpoint accuracy. They help:

  • Break up muscle knots
  • Accelerate recovery by stimulating blood flow
  • Relieve tension in hard-to-reach areas

Like the compression boots, massage guns are only available to Zone 4 members and require advance booking through the app.

How to Book Your Recovery Session

All recovery tools—massage chairs, compression boots, and massage guns—require advance booking via the NARC Member App. For step-by-step instructions, check out:
