What is the difference between a cold plunge and contrast therapy?
A cold plunge is a few bracing minutes in cold water on its own. Contrast therapy alternates our Full Spectrum Sauna with the Cold Plunge, so you warm up deeply, take a short cold round, then go back to the heat. Many guests finish contrast therapy feeling relaxed and wide awake at once.
Who books a cold plunge on its own?
Athletes often book it after hard training. Others use it on a slow afternoon to feel switched on again. You only stay in as long as feels right, usually one to a few minutes.
Who books contrast therapy?
It is a favourite for recovery days and for sauna regulars who want something more. People book it for muscle soreness after training, or simply to feel refreshed and clear.
Is the cold plunge okay for beginners?
Yes. Plenty of first-timers love it. You get a quick primer on how to breathe through the first seconds, and you set the pace from there.
Most guests warm back up naturally within a few minutes and feel bright and alert.
Which one should I book first?
If the cold sounds like a lot, start with contrast therapy. The sauna warms you through first, and you are guided between rounds at a pace that suits you. If you love a quick jolt, the plunge on its own is a great place to start.
If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or have any other health concerns, check with your doctor before you book.
