ABOUT ELITE
Built by someone who needed it first.
What Elite BioRecovery is
We design private recovery environments — sauna, cold plunge and light — and we specify them to the room rather than to a catalogue. Every brand here is sold under a signed dealer agreement with its manufacturer. Nothing is drop-shipped grey-market and nothing is resold from a marketplace. Some lines are listed openly on this site; some are only specified on a design call.
What we will not do is sell you a room with no heat in it, or a tub that does not chill, and call it a recovery suite.
A PERSONAL STAKE
I live with type 1 diabetes. Recovery isn't optional for me.
Type 1 diabetes doesn't sleep. It doesn't take weekends off. For most of my career I managed it well enough to keep going, not well enough to actually feel good — long days, a lot of entertaining, recovery nowhere in the plan. The body keeps score quietly.
Three years ago I changed that. I got deliberate about how I was treating myself — sleep, food, what I put in my body, and actually building recovery into the week instead of hoping for it. Around the same time my first granddaughter was born, with a grandson on the way. The math on the back nine of life looks different when you're someone's grandfather, and I intend to be there for it.
I learned what daily access does the way most people do — by losing it. For a stretch I had a sauna, a cold plunge, and weekly compression within reach every day, and I felt better than I had in years. Then I moved, lost the access, and missed it — not as a nice-to-have, as a real daily need. Two weeks running contrast therapy every morning at my brother's place settled it: the missing piece was having it under one roof, on my own schedule.
For years I'd bought the parts piecemeal — a sauna here, a plunge there, a light panel two years later. Different brands, different installers, different warranties, sized wrong for the space. Things that didn't talk to each other. The parts don't add up to a system.
So I'm building the Suite I wish I'd been sold the first time — heat, cold and light, designed once, sized to the room, the household, and the daily rhythm of the person using it. Mine is going in right now, in my own home, on a founder's budget, as I can afford it, and I'm documenting it as it comes together. I'm not selling you something I read about. I'm building it for myself at the same time I'm building it for you.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Four principles. Non-negotiable.
We sell complete things
A room with no heat is not a sauna. A tub that doesn't chill is not a plunge. Both rules are built into the checkout, not just into the copy — we would rather lose the sale than ship half a system.
The room decides
We start with the space, the electrical, and how the household will actually use it — then work backwards to equipment. The configuration follows the room, not the other way round.
No grey market
Every brand we carry is sold under a signed dealer agreement with its manufacturer. If we can't get a line properly, with parts and a warranty channel behind it, we don't sell it.
Say the hard part out loud
What's included, what isn't, and what your electrician still has to do. Nobody should be learning the real scope of their project on delivery day.
WHAT MAKES ELITE DIFFERENT
Most companies sell you equipment. We design environments.
The recovery industry is full of brands selling you a product. A sauna. A plunge. A panel. They make a margin on the box, ship it on a pallet, and you work out the rest. Sizing is your problem. Integration is your problem. Finding somebody to put it together is your problem.
That's the model we're not running.
A Recovery Suite is specified the way an architect specifies a kitchen — to the room, the user, and the way it actually gets used. We start with how you train, sleep and travel. Then we build backwards: what equipment, in what configuration, in what space, on what electrical service.
You leave with a system. Not a shopping list.
OUR PROCESS
From conversation to delivery.
01 — Discovery
A 30-minute call. We understand the space, the household, the goals, the timeline.
02 — Design
We return a Suite specification: equipment, layout, the electrical service it needs, and how it gets delivered.
03 — Order & Freight
We place the orders, track the freight, and tell you where things stand before you have to ask. Curbside delivery with liftgate to the lower 48 is included in the price you see.
04 — Assembly & Electrical
Professional assembly is available through a vetted national install partner — you get a quote before you commit to anything. Electrical stays with your licensed electrician, and we give you the spec in writing so that visit is one visit.
Design your Suite.
A 30-minute call. No pressure, no sales tactics. We'll tell you what's possible in your space and your range — and what isn't.
