What are the benefits?

Faster Recovery
by reducing muscle damage and promoting quicker healing

Improve Circulation
Exposure to cold water can stimulate blood flow and improve circulation. This can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to different parts of the body

Reduce Muscle Inflammation and Soreness
Cold water immersion can help alleviate muscle inflammation and soreness, particularly after intense physical activity.

Enhanced Mood and Mental Well-being
Cold exposure can stimulate the release of endorphins, which are neurotransmitters associated with improved mood and reduced stress.

Boosted Immune System
Some studies suggest that regular exposure to cold water may stimulate the production of white blood cells and other immune system components.

Increased Metabolism and Fat Burning
Cold exposure can activate brown adipose tissue, which plays a role in thermogensis (heat production) and may contribute to increased calorie burning and fat loss.

Improved Sleep Quality
Cold water immersion has been reported by many individuals to promote better sleep.

Stress Reduction
Cold exposure is believed to activate the body's stress response, leading to adaptations that may help individuals better cope with stress over time. This can contribute to an increased tolerance to stressors.

How does the session work?

Attire

Participants are recommended to wear a bathing suit or comfortable swimwear during the cold plunge. We will supply a towel.

Duration

The cold plunge session is for 15 minutes but the duration is going to be dependent on the person. Remind yourself to breathe and focus on relaxing while in the plunge. You can slowly acclimate yourself to the cold – try 60 seconds at first and then eventually build up to 5+ mins over time. Remember, we can control the temperature, so perhaps it’s better to start at 60 degrees and over time work yourself down to a colder temperature.

Dry Off or Pair

How refreshing! Feel free to use the locker room shower or pair your session with either the Normatec Compression Sleeves or the Infrared Sauna for a deeper recovery!

Pricing

1 session/15 minutes = $35
Fit Loft and Profunctional Clients: $25 per 1 session/15 minutes
