Each session is booked for 30 minutes.

You can spend this time in a combination of the Baths and Sauna or just in one of them.  You don't need to get in an Ice Bath.

Your first cold plunge might last only a minute or less. There's little extra value gained after 10 minutes in the Ice Baths.  You can build the time up and reduce the temperature as your body adapts.

Always listen to your body - this is not a competition, but a personal wellness journey.

Our Ice Baths are chilled to between 3 and 7 degrees yet warm a little through the day.  You can make them colder by using ice from our 300Kg ice store at Kelham.

Ice baths have numerous benefits, including aiding in muscle recovery, improving circulation, boosting your immune system & metabolism, enhancing mood, promoting better sleep, and improving skin and hair health.

Yes, certain health conditions like cardiovascular diseases, more severe Raynaud's disease (it could help with less severe Raynaud's, pregnancy, and respiratory conditions, among others, may make it unsafe for you. We advise you to consult with a healthcare provider if you have any of these conditions or any other health concerns.

If you cancel within 3 hours of your scheduled session, it will count as a session being used. We recommend rescheduling your session in advance to avoid this.  You can easily can and re schedule using our App.

While we don't provide constant supervision during your ice bath session, we always have a member of staff in the building for your safety. For first-time users or those who prefer additional support, we recommend bringing a friend to spot you or join you in the tub.
