This is not a backyard ice bath. Our cold plunge features two single-person tubs – one calibrated for men, one for women – precision-chilled to as cold as 37°F. When you step out, most people describe the feeling within 20 minutes as sharper focus, elevated mood, and a full-body calm that no cup of coffee has ever produced.
Cold plunge works by triggering a powerful physiological response: blood vessels constrict, inflammation drops, and as you exit, fresh oxygenated blood floods back through your muscles and joints. The result is faster recovery, less soreness, and a mental clarity that carries you through the rest of your day.
Whether you’re an athlete chasing faster recovery, a professional managing daily stress, or someone cold-curious and ready to try something that actually works, our staff is with you every step of the way.
Our staff guides every first session from start to finish. There's no pressure to stay longer than you're comfortable - sessions start at 30 seconds and build toward 2–3 minutes as your body adapts. Most first-timers are surprised by how manageable it is.
The first few seconds are the hardest. Controlled breathing is the key - slow, steady inhales and exhales help your nervous system regulate and let the cold do its work. Our staff stays present throughout to coach your breathing and keep you grounded. Most people are in a calm, controlled state within 60 seconds.
As you exit, blood rushes back to your skin and muscles - a wave of warmth and energy most members describe as the best they've felt all day. You'll be wrapped in a warm robe, towels provided. The effects - reduced soreness, sharper focus, elevated mood - can last hours.
Swimwear is recommended. Towels and a warm robe are provided post-session.

The most popular sequence in recovery science. Alternating between heat and cold amplifies the circulatory benefits of both – the sauna opens blood vessels and loosens muscle tissue, the cold plunge drives a powerful constriction and rebound. The result is greater inflammation reduction, deeper muscle recovery, and a mental shift that neither delivers alone. Start warm, end cold.
Cold immersion reduces inflammation systemically; compression therapy targets the lymphatic system locally, flushing out waste and accelerating fluid return. Together they create a complete post-training recovery sequence especially effective after long runs, heavy leg days, or extended time on your feet.
Percussion before the plunge loosens target muscle groups and increases blood flow to specific areas, making the cold immersion more effective where it counts. A focused pre-plunge percussive session followed by 3–5 minutes in the tub is one of the fastest recovery protocols available.
