A cold plunge (also known as an ice bath) is a practice where the body is briefly submerged in cold water (typically between 4–10°C) to trigger a range of physiological and mental responses.

 

Our Chill Tubs Lite is a professional-grade, temperature-controlled tub designed for safe, clean, and consistent cold water immersion.

 

Cold plunging activates the body’s natural stress response and many people report better energy, sharper focus, and a boosted sense of wellbeing following cold exposure.

​​

Cold plunge pairs especially well with floatation tank sessions, in a similar manner to traditional contrast therapy (cold plunge and sauna). Doing a cold plunge beforehand stimulates the nervous system and boosts the release of brain chemicals (such as noradrenaline, dopamine and endorphins), helping you enter the float tank in a more grounded, alert state. The contrast between cold and warm environments enhances body awareness, deepens relaxation, and may even amplify the meditative effects of floating.

 

For many, this sequence results in a stronger mental reset, a more profound drop into stillness, and longer-lasting benefits from both therapies.

​

In the colder winter months (November - February), our tub will be heated to over 37°C for a relaxing, warm plunge experience (like a hot tub without the bubbles).
