ENDORPHINS. ACTIVATED.
COLD THERAPY
Rooted in ancient practice and backed by modern science, cold plunging helps you recover faster, boost immunity, and feel sharper—fast.
Used for over 5,000 years to reduce pain and treat injury, cold water therapy is now proven to lower inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate muscle recovery.
Each plunge triggers vasoconstriction to flush toxins, reduce swelling, and ease sore, tired muscles. It also helps regulate cortisol levels, supporting better sleep, balanced mood, and increased mental clarity.
Cold therapy isn’t just for athletes—it’s for anyone seeking a reset. From muscle recovery to stress relief, the benefits ripple far beyond the water.
Whether you're coming off a hard workout, a long day on your feet, or just need to clear your head, a few minutes in the cold will leave you calm, focused, and recharged.
BACKED BY SCIENCE. USED BY THE BEST.

Being immersed in cold water stimulates leukocytes, the white blood cells that help fight off illnesses. It also causes the lymphatic system to contract, forcing fluid through the lymph nodes. This process aids in detoxing the body and strengthening your immune system. A study has shown to substantially lower upper respiratory tract infections.

Cold plunging has shown the ability to increase your baseline dopamine by 250% for a few hours. Dopamine is the molecule in our brain and body that is linked to motivation. According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, dopamine can enhance our depth of focus and lower our threshold for taking action towards our specific goals.

When you dip into the Plunge, your body triggers the autonomic nervous system. This system is a network of vessels and nerves, split into two parts that control your response to stress. When you begin to control your response to stress, you’ll likely find that you begin to control your relaxation and sleep.
FAQ
-
The first 15–20 seconds of submerging into the plunge are the hardest, as your body hits a natural fight-or-flight response — that’s where your breath becomes everything. Once you settle, the intensity shifts into clarity. Most people feel a full-system reset: grounded, alert, and lifted by a natural dopamine boost that lasts long after they’ve stepped out.

A swimsuit and something cozy to change into. Towels are provided.
-
Proper swimwear is required in our plunge and sauna areas. Underwear of any kind — boxer briefs, bras, compression shorts, or everyday undergarments — isn’t allowed in shared water or heat therapies. Why? Underwear isn’t designed for communal water use and can impact both water quality and the guest experience. We also recommend bringing loose, comfortable clothes to change into.
-
There’s no magic number. Most people start with 1–3 minutes. Leave your ego at the door and listen to your body. Remember: Every plunge is different. Good mood, bad mood, well-rested, stressed, hungry — it all changes how the cold hits.

A little shivering 10–15 minutes after your plunge is normal but you will warm up fast! If you’re cold for an hour or longer, that’s your cue you pushed it. Your body is brilliant — let it do what it’s built to do and bring the heat back.
