Guide to Cold Plunges in Gyms

Cold plunges, also called ice baths, are brief immersions in very cold water, and gyms usually put one next to the sauna so members can alternate heat and cold.

What is a cold plunge?

A cold plunge is a dedicated cold-water tub or pool used for brief immersion.

The water is markedly cold, often somewhere in the 40–60°F range depending on the club, and stays are short. Many people alternate a plunge with a sauna or steam room.

What to look for at a gym

Check that the listing names a cold plunge, since a cool pool or a cold shower is a different amenity. Then check whether the plunge is included with membership, timed, or sold as part of a recovery studio add-on.
