What is a cold plunge, and why is everyone trying it?

A cold plunge is a short dip in cold water, also called an ice bath or cold water therapy. Fans use it to feel refreshed and energized, support post-workout recovery, and reset both body and mind. It pairs especially well with a warm infrared sauna for a contrast experience, which is exactly why we are adding it to our Robinson location.

Why people love it

The cold plunge reset

Here is what draws so many people to the cold.

Post-workout recovery

A popular way to feel refreshed and support recovery after training.

Energy & alertness

Love the invigorating rush and clear-headed feeling a cold dip brings.

Mood & mindset

A few cold minutes can leave you feeling calm, focused and accomplished.

The contrast experience

Alternate warm and cold for the ultimate reset. Infrared sauna is here today.

Cold water immersion is a wellness experience, not a medical treatment. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and results vary. Cold exposure is not right for everyone; if you are pregnant or have a heart condition, high blood pressure or other health concerns, talk with your doctor first and always follow staff guidance.

Hot meets cold

1. Heat up

2. Cold plunge
