Less time than most people expect. If you are new to it, a short first immersion is plenty and you can extend from there across future sessions. Our team will guide your timing on your first visit rather than leaving you to guess.
Cold enough to feel like work, not so cold that you cannot breathe through it. A purpose-built plunge is temperature-controlled, so the water is the same every visit and you can build tolerance in a measured way. Ask our team about the temperature we hold ours at.
Most regular clients plunge two to three times a week, often after training. Start with once and let your body tell you. Frequency you can sustain will always beat an ambitious schedule you abandon.
Rewarm gradually. Dry off, put warm layers on and let your body bring its own temperature back up rather than jumping straight into a hot shower. Sit for a few minutes before heading out. If you have come for contrast therapy, this is usually the point where you return to the sauna.
Cold-water immersion is widely used after training to ease the soreness that follows hard sessions. Constriction and then rewarming affects blood flow through the tissue. It is a recovery ritual rather than a medical treatment, and we make no therapeutic claims for it.
No. It is contraindicated in pregnancy, in some cardiovascular conditions, and where there is relevant health history. If you have any concerns, speak with your GP before booking, and let our team know when you arrive so we can look after you.
