Cold Plunges have been know to help revitalizes our bodies, boosts circulation, and ignite energy. It can also help increase your metabolism during and a short time after the plunge, release happy hormones to improve mood, and decrease inflammation in your body. A regular cold plunge will show you the best results (we suggest multiple times a week!)

We recommend releasing into our cold waters for 2-minutes, although students who have been doing this longer will find that a slightly longer time of 5-minutes may be desired. Over time, you'll build up more of a tolerance and resilience in your adaptation for these cold temperatures.

We highly recommend at least 1x a week to maintain a baseline of diminished inflammation. If you are able do experience 3+ times a week, you'll more clearly feel the results.

• Bathing suit (all humans will wear a bathing suit in the Fire + Ice room; no sports bras, no underwear, no activewear of any kind will be allowed)

• Reusable water bottle

• Journal + pen (if desired)

We'll provide you with a towel

Medical Considerations 
Individuals suffering from obesity or with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before use. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow, potentially raising the heart rate by 30 beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.- Those using prescription drugs should seek medical advice, as some medications may induce drowsiness or affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. Certain drugs may impair the body's natural heat loss mechanisms or predispose individuals to heat-related conditions.-

Alcohol and drug use
Before a sauna session is not advisable, as intoxication impairs judgment and increases heart rate, heightening the risk of unconsciousness.

Elderly individuals
Should operate at lower temperatures for no more than 15 minutes at a time due to decreased circulatory function and sweat gland activity.

Children
Core body temperature rises faster than adults, so when using with a child, operate at lower temperatures for no more than 15 minutes.-

Chronic conditions
Such as multiple sclerosis, central nervous system tumors, and diabetes with neuropathy are associated with impaired sweating; consult a physician. Avoid infrared saunas if predisposed to bleeding, have a fever, or insensitivity to heat.
