Deep warmth.

WHY MAKE TIME FOR FIRE + ICE?

Unwind after exertion

Give the hour after a demanding workout or a long day on your feet a different purpose. Settle into sustained infrared warmth, followed by a brief, refreshing plunge and a return to the sauna.

Trade sluggish for invigorated

The shift from sauna heat to cold water is immediate and unmistakable. Choose a cold finish when you want a crisp, wakeful sensation at the end of your visit.

Choose your finish

Prefer to leave on a quieter note? Skip the final plunge and finish in the sauna. The same appointment offers a choice between a bracing ending and lingering warmth.

THE CYCLE

Start with full-spectrum infrared warmth.

Begin inside the mPulse full-spectrum infrared sauna, allowing your body to gradually warm before transitioning to cold-water immersion.

FIRE + ICE CONTRAST THERAPY

PLAN YOUR VISIT

Know before you go.

Allow an hour

Your appointment includes infrared sauna, cold plunge and time to transition between them. Leave room in your day to enjoy the experience without rushing.

Bring swimwear

Choose swimwear or moisture-friendly athletic clothing suitable for both heat and water. Towels and robes are available. Arrive hydrated and avoid a heavy meal immediately beforehand.

First time? Tell us.

Let the team know before you begin. Ask about the current water temperature and appropriate timing for you. Cold exposure is not an endurance test; the suggested sequence is a guide.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO FINISH?

END COLD

Finish Refreshed.

End with a final 2–3 minute plunge when you want the crisp, alert feeling that follows cold-water immersion.

END WARM

Finish Relaxed.

For an evening session—or when relaxation is the goal—you may prefer to skip the final plunge and finish in the sauna.

CONTRAST THERAPY FAQ

Before You Begin.

Fire + Ice combines two very different temperature experiences. Hydration, preparation and listening to your body matter throughout the session.

How long is a contrast session?

A standard contrast session lasts approximately 45–60 minutes, including infrared sauna time, cold-water immersion and transitions between the two.

What is the usual sequence?

A typical sequence is approximately 30 minutes of infrared sauna, followed by a 2–3 minute plunge, about 15 additional minutes of infrared heat and an optional final 2–3 minute plunge.

Do I have to do the second plunge?

No. You can finish with cold or end in the infrared sauna. Guests visiting later in the day may prefer finishing warm for a more relaxed end to the session.

How cold is the plunge?

Ask our team for the current Cryo Plunge temperature before you enter. If you are new to cold immersion, discuss an appropriate starting duration before your session.

What should I wear?

Swimwear or comfortable moisture-friendly athletic clothing works well because you will move between dry infrared heat and water immersion. Towels and robes are available.

How should I prepare?

Arrive well hydrated and avoid a heavy meal immediately beforehand. Give yourself enough time to move through the heat and cold transitions without feeling rushed.
