Pack your swimwear or whatever your are comfortable to cold plunge in, sandals, and a water bottle. We provide fresh towels, but you’re welcome to bring your own. If you’d like music during your session, you can connect your phone to our speakers.
A typical session includes 5-15 minutes in the sauna, followed by 2-5 minutes in the cold plunge. The whole circuit takes about 20 minutes, and you can repeat it during your booked time. Check out our Contrast Therapy Circuit.
Check with your doctor first if you have any medical conditions. Pregnant women and those with severe heart conditions should avoid contrast therapy. Always listen to your body and let us know about any health concerns before starting.
Keep it simple – shower before and after the cold plunge, use towels on sauna benches, and leave the space clean for others. Don’t adjust the sauna controls yourself – just ask if you need help.
