How It Works
Embrace The Chill
Step into our CEO Cold Plunge (often between 37-45°F or 3-7°C) for a period ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on tolerance, individual limitations and health considerations.
Activate and Energize
Cold exposure triggers a surge of adrenaline and endorphins. Your metabolism accelerates, blood circulation improves, and your body is invigorated.
Revitalize and Renew
Exiting the cold water brings a rush of blood back to the skin’s surface. This oxygenates tissues, aids in recovery, and releases endorphins, leaving you revitalized and uplifted.

Safety and Considerations
Cold plunges might not be suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as heart problems, hypertension, or Raynaud’s disease, should consult with a medical professional before attempting. Prolonged exposure can lead to hypothermia. – It’s crucial to listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or staying in the cold water for too long.
CONTRAST THERAPY:
CEO Sauna & Cold Plunge Experience
Vasoconstriction: Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict (narrow), which can reduce swelling and tissue breakdown.
Reduction in Metabolic Rate: The cold slows down physiological processes, which can minimize tissue damage post-exercise.
Nervous System Stimulation*: Cold exposure stimulates the nervous system, potentially increasing alertness and clarity.

Walk Me Through This
Warm-up in Sauna
Begin by spending around 10–20 minutes in the sauna. This will allow your body to heat up, promote sweating, and induce vasodilation (expansion of blood vessels).
If you’re new to saunas or sensitive to heat, start with shorter durations and work your way up. Breathe deeply and relax. Listen to your body, and if you start to feel too hot or dizzy, it’s time to step out.
First Cold Plunge
After your initial sauna session, immerse yourself in the cold plunge pool for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. This will cause vasoconstriction (constriction of blood vessels), pushing blood towards your core.
If you’re new to cold plunges, start with shorter durations.
Repeat
You can alternate between the sauna and cold plunge multiple times, depending on your comfort level. Typically, 2–4 cycles are recommended for optimal benefits.
Gradually, you can increase the time you spend in the sauna and cold plunge as you become more accustomed to the temperature shifts.
Cool Down and Hydrate
After your last cold plunge, give your body time to cool down and stabilize. Rest for 5–10 minutes.
Drink water or an electrolyte drink to replenish fluids lost during sweating and to rehydrate. We offer Alkaline water for purchase at the front desk.
Combined Benefits
Safety and Considerations
- Always start slowly, especially if new to either practice, to see how your body reacts.
- It’s essential to hydrate before, during, and after this regimen because both sauna and cold plunge can be dehydrating.
- Prolonged exposure to either extreme can have adverse effects, such as overheating or hypothermia. It’s crucial to listen to your body and take breaks as needed.
- People with certain medical conditions or those on specific medications should consult a healthcare professional before attempting this combination. The contrasting experiences of a sauna and cold plunge can be invigorating and offer numerous health benefits. However, as with all wellness practices, they should be approached with awareness and in a manner that respects individual limits and health considerations.
