WHY IT WORKS?

Your body and brain run better when they’re not clogged with stress, inflammation, or yesterday’s effort. Our sauna + cold plunge combo clears the noise and reboots the system – flushing waste, firing up circulation, and dialing in that calm focus you crave.

HEAT (SAUNA, 200-205°F)

This isn’t just warmth – it’s a controlled hormetic stressor. Blood vessels dilate, mimicking moderate cardio, while heat-shock proteins surge to repair misfolded proteins and protect cells. Your muscles loosen, tension drains, and your vagus nerve gets a gentle nudge toward parasympathetic calm.

COLD (PLUNGE, 40–45°F)

The shock isn’t punishment – it’s a neurochemical upgrade. Vasoconstriction forces blood to your core, then norepinephrine spikes 530% in minutes, sharpening dopamine pathways for sustained focus and mood lift. Inflammation gets flushed, pain signals quiet down, and you walk out with that rare “quiet mind, alive body” feeling.

REPEAT 3-4x

Creates a vascular pump that clears metabolic waste 3x faster, cuts soreness by up to 40%, and trains your autonomic nervous system to toggle between stress and recovery. The result? You’re not just less sore—you’re more resilient, clear-headed, and ready for whatever’s next.

Fire and Ice Contrast Therapy FAQs

What is contrast therapy or fire and ice therapy? +
Contrast therapy involves alternating exposure to hot and cold temperatures to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. It combines a sauna or hot bath (the "fire") with a cold plunge (the "ice"). This "fire and ice" approach triggers vasodilation (blood vessels expanding in heat) and vasoconstriction (narrowing in cold), creating a pumping effect that flushes out metabolic waste and delivers nutrients to tissues. It's popular among athletes for post-workout recovery and general wellness enthusiasts for stress relief and optimization.
What are the benefits of contrast therapy? +
The main perks include reduced muscle soreness and inflammation, faster workout recovery, improved circulation, boosted metabolism, enhanced mood and energy, better sleep, and immune support. It can also decrease lactic acid buildup, increase range of motion, and promote relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Studies show athletes using it gain more muscle power and strength compared to passive recovery.
Is contrast therapy safe for beginners? +
Yes, for most healthy adults, but start slow to build tolerance. Begin with shorter durations (e.g., 10 minutes hot, 1 minute cold). Consult a doctor if you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, or are pregnant. It's generally low-risk when done properly, but listen to your body to avoid overexertion.
Who should avoid contrast therapy? +
Avoid it if you're pregnant (due to risks of elevated body temperature), have heart disease, recent heart attack, angina, severe hypertension, Raynaud's syndrome, open wounds, epilepsy, or are under the influence of alcohol/drugs. Also skip if you have impaired circulation, cold hypersensitivity, or recent tattoos. Elderly individuals or those prone to heatstroke should get medical clearance first.
Should you start contrast therapy with hot or cold? +
Both are good for various reasons. You can start with heat (sauna for 10-15 minutes) to open blood vessels, then switch to cold (1-2 minutes) for constriction—this maximizes the "pumping" effect for recovery. Repeat 2-3 cycles, ending on cold for anti-inflammatory and weight loss benefits. Experiment based on your goals (e.g., start cold for an energizing shock).
What temperatures are ideal for fire and ice therapy? +
Hot: 150-200°F in a sauna. Cold: 40-45°F in a plunge. We prefer and have traditional saunas vs infrared saunas that run cooler (around 120-140°F).
How long should a contrast therapy session last? +
We offer two session times based on your needs: either a 45min or 60min session. 10-15 minutes hot, 1-3 minutes cold, repeated 2-4 times. Limit cold exposure to 5 minutes max to avoid diminishing returns or risks like hypothermia. Total time depends on tolerance and if you bring a friend.
How often should you do contrast therapy? +
2-3 times per week is ideal for recovery benefits, but beginners can start with 1-2 sessions. Frequency varies by goals: daily for stress relief, post-workout for athletes. Allow recovery days to prevent overstress, and pair with hydration.
What are the risks of cold plunge in contrast therapy? +
Main risks include hypothermia (if too cold/long), frostbite, or cardiovascular strain from sudden temperature shifts. Those with heart issues may experience shortness of breath or irregular heartbeat. Mitigate by acclimating gradually over 4-6 weeks and monitoring symptoms.
How does contrast therapy help with muscle recovery and pain relief? +
By alternating temperatures, it reduces swelling, flushes lactic acid, and improves blood flow—leading to less soreness and faster healing. It's especially effective for strains, with studies showing improved strength and power post-session.
What's the difference between infrared saunas and traditional saunas in contrast therapy? +
Infrared saunas heat the body directly at lower temps (120-140°F), while traditional ones (the saunas we have) heat the air (up to 200°F+) via rocks. Both aid contrast therapy, but infrared is not as well studied or as hot.
Is contrast therapy better than cryotherapy? +
Many prefer contrast therapy since you can go into your own private suite and do not need a staff member to join you. It also adds heat benefits for full recovery.
How should you prepare for a contrast therapy session? +
Hydrate with 12-20 oz of water 30-60 minutes before, avoid heavy meals, and wear workout clothes or a bathing suit. Bring a towel and hairbrush if needed. Start with light breathing to ease in.
How is cleanliness maintained? +
Tanks use UV filtration, hydrogen peroxide, and constant circulation for sanitation. Rooms are wiped with disinfectants between sessions, with exhaust fans for fresh air.
Can contrast therapy help with mental health, like reducing stress or anxiety? +
Yes, the cold shock boosts endorphins and norepinephrine for mood elevation, while heat promotes deep relaxation. It activates the "rest and digest" system, reducing anxiety over time with regular use.
