Recovery Benefits

Cold plunges help reduce inflammation which can shorten your recovery window. This is why athletes use cold immersion after intense training days.


Mood and Focus

Exposure to cold increases norepinephrine which supports focus, alertness, and mood regulation. Many people describe it as a mental reset button.


Metabolism Support

Cold exposure activates brown fat which helps your body burn a little more energy throughout the day. It won’t replace training but it does complement it.


Sauna vs Cold Plunge

Doing sauna first warms your tissues and relaxes your nervous system. Ending with a plunge gives an energizing kick. Reversing the order gives a more recovery focused effect.

🔥 Member favorite combo: Sauna 10 minutes then a 1 to 3 minute plunge.
