A new social wellness destination is opening Liverpool city centre. Located on David Lewis Street within the Prestige building, Attis Bathing Club is designed as a "premium, community-minded alternative to the traditional night out".

Attis will provide a space for people to connect, complete with a 30-capacity Finnish sauna, filtered ice baths and dedicated red-light therapy. Specialising in guided contrast therapy, a practice which involves alternating between extreme hot and cold environments to boost metabolism, circulation and mental clarity, Attis will offer bookable sessions, led by trained experts.

Classes will range from breath-work and sound baths to dopamine and sleep resets. Attis will also offer traditional Aufguss, a multi-sensory ritual where sauna masters use aromatic steam and choreographed towel movements to create an immersive, meditative heat experience.

The concept comes from Liverpool couple, Jennifer Gledhill and Lewis Boardman. Jennifer said: "We’re so excited to bring this unique experience to our hometown.

"As people place more value on real connection and wellbeing, we’re proud to make guided contrast therapy classes and traditional Aufguss part of everyday life."

The wellness space will also include a lounge-style cafe for socialising in between hot and cold cycles, serving healthy beverages and nourishing snacks, alongside full shower and changing facilities.

On weekends, visitors can experience 'Club Attis’ sessions, which will feature DJs and community events, with further information to follow. Attis opens on September 19.
