If the January grind has got you feeling stressed out then we’ve got the perfect thing for you – a ‘smash room’. The concept is simple, you take a weapon of your choice and smash the shit out of some inanimate objects to relieve your tension. TemperTank is Manchester’s first smash room and the premise behind it is all about improving mental health, by letting people work through their emotions via the medium of smashing.
You can choose between weapons like baseball bats and sledgehammers and get creative, all to the playlist of your choice – I’m pretty sure some speed metal would accompany this nicely. A TemperTank spokesman said:“The concept came about as we know how satisfying it would be to be able to break items from our daily routines. We believe this will positively contribute to mental health by providing an environment to express pent up emotions partnered with stress and anxiety.”
You’ll be given the choice of three different packages, with each one deciding the items you will be presented with to destroy. A session is 30 minutes long, and you can find out more information on their website here.
