Looking for a way to recharge both body and mind without leaving home? Our outdoor cold plunge tubs are designed to bring that post-sauna refresh straight to your backyard. Whether it’s after a tough workout or a long day, an ice bath can reset your system and help you feel balanced again.
What Is a Cold Plunge?
A cold plunge is the act of submerging your body in cold water — usually somewhere between 0.5°C and 15°C. Done right, it’s more than just a shock to the system — it’s a therapy.
Most cold plunge sessions follow a 15/20 approach: fifteen minutes of heat (like a sauna) followed by 30 seconds to 5 minutes in the cold. This shift from hot to cold is called contrast therapy, and it’s been used for centuries to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellbeing.
The alternating temperature hits your blood vessels like a reset button — heat opens them, cold constricts them — which gets blood moving, fast. That flow brings oxygen, flushes out waste, and may ease issues like joint stiffness, swelling, and even muscle spasms.
When Should You Use a Cold Plunge?
Interestingly, timing matters. Cold plunges are great for recovery — but not always right after a workout. After training, inflammation is part of how the body grows stronger. If you cool down too fast, you might actually slow down progress.
That said, if you’re in competition mode — like during tournaments or fight weeks — post-exertion plunges can speed up recovery. They’re also a solid option before training, to help you feel energized without adding load to your system.
So in short:
- Before training – Good for prep
- After training – Use only when fast recovery is priority
- On rest days – Great for general recovery
Why People Are Turning to Cold Water Therapy
Cold water immersion is getting attention not just for how it feels, but for what it might actually do inside your body.
The benefits may include:
- Reduced inflammation and muscle soreness
- Improved circulation and lower blood pressure
- Faster post-exercise recovery
- Immune system stimulation
- Sharper focus and reduced stress
- Better sleep, especially when combined with hot soaking
It’s not just physical either. That jolt of cold helps trigger a rush of endorphins and increases dopamine receptor density. Some people describe it as nature’s version of hitting the reset button on their brain.
Is Cold Plunging Safe?
Cold plunging is a long-standing practice in Nordic countries, and millions swear by it. Still, it’s not for everyone.
We always recommend speaking with a healthcare provider first — especially if you have heart issues, diabetes, are pregnant, or have other conditions. Safety first.
And if you’re new to cold exposure, start slow. Begin with 30 seconds, then gradually build up. Your body needs time to adapt.
