An individual only needs 11 minutes of Cold Exposure and 57 minutes of Heat Exposure, per week, to receive the physical and mental benefits of Contrast Therapy. 

It is recommended that an individual break up the above mentioned times by completing multiple sessions per week of Contrast Therapy.

For example: 

Polar Room: 2-3 minutes of Cold Exposure and 10-15 minutes of Heat Exposure per session - recommend 4-5 sessions per week.

Vitality Room: multiple rounds of 3-4 minutes Cold Exposure and 10-15 minutes Heat Exposure per session - recommend 1-3 sessions per week.

We use a mechanical filter and ozone to filter and sanitize the water in both the Cold Plunges and Hot Spring Mineral Soak tubs.  

The mechanical filter removes larger particles from the water, including dirt, debris and hair.

Ozone is injected directly into the water and sanitizes by breaking down body oils and destroying most of the bacteria and viruses that may be present in the water.

Both the Hot Spring Mineral Soak tubs are filled with Dead Sea salt, giving these tubs a saltwater sanitation system where pH levels are balanced naturally instead of using chemicals, like chlorine.

Due to the above items and the size of pumps used to siphon, the water in each tub is filtered, sanitized and exchanged every 20 minutes. Additionally, we completely drain, disinfect and refill the Cold Plunges and Hot Spring Mineral Soak tubs frequently to keep them fresh and pristine. 

Our staff will enter a session every 15-20 minutes to ensure the safety and comfort of our customers.  

Additionally, information is provided on temperatures, time usage of each product and general observations of effects of heat/cold exposure on the body, in an effort to educate our customers.

• Swimsuits are REQUIRED and must be worn in the Cold Plunges, Hot Spring Soaks and Saunas.
• Wearable devices to track your heartrate are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED but not required. This allows you to keep track of your heartrate while using the Saunas and Cold Plunges in an effort to help alleviate any unwanted side effects when completing your Contrast Therapy session. 
• Bringing a re-usable water bottle is recommended to stay hydrated during your session. We have refillable water stations in both the Polar and Vitality Room. 

We offer a variety of packages for the Polar Room and Vitality Room. Please see the Sessions tab at the top for more information.

We are open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 6pm. We are closed on Sundays.
