Hot + cold plunge
Unveil the science-backed benefits of cold plunges. Research has shown that exposure to cold water can significantly reduce post-exercise muscle soreness, inflammation, and oxidative stress (Prestes et al., 2017). Our cold plunges are carefully calibrated to provide the optimal temperature and duration, ensuring you reap the full rewards of this therapy.
