FIRE & ICE

Restore. Heal. Invigorate.

Get all the benefits from detoxing and relaxing in the infrared sauna to lowering inflammation and boosting immunity in the cold plunge. Two separate therapies, combined, into one exhilarating treatment to stimulate overall wellness.

what is Fire & Ice?

Fire & Ice Therapy, also known as contrast therapy, is an invigorating experience that combines the deep, penetrating heat of a full-spectrum infrared sauna with the invigorating chill of a cold plunge to revitalize both body and mind.

The infrared sauna promotes circulation, detoxifies the body, and relaxes muscles, while the cold plunge reduces inflammation, tightens skin, and boosts immune response. Alternating between these two extremes for 45 minutes, accelerates recovery, provides effective pain relief, and rejuvenates the body.

Let’s not forget the added benefit of built-in red light therapy to treat skin issues and boost collagen production.

HEAT. COOL. REPEAT.

Fire & Ice Therapy improves circulation, reduces soreness, relieves pain, and enhances mental clarity, supporting optimal physical and mental balance. This dynamic practice is an essential tool for achieving holistic wellness and resilience.

what to expect

You will have a Fire & Ice private room for 45 minutes where you can interchangeably go from an infrared sauna to a cold plunge tub.

We recommend you start with 15 minutes in the sauna to relax and warm up. Then jump into the cold plunge (30 seconds – 2.5 minutes is optimal) causing your body to further increase its heart rate, constricting blood vessels, and inducing an incredible rush of adrenaline and endorphins.

Alternate between the two for the duration of your session.

reccomended frequency

Practicing Fire & Ice 2-3 times a month offers a balanced wellness routine, enhancing immune health, circulation, and recovery without intense commitment. Ideal for those managing moderate physical demands or stress. Explore our 2x/Month Fire & Ice Membership for steady benefits.

A weekly session amplifies recovery, resilience, and mental clarity, perfect for athletes and those with high physical demands. This routine supports stress management, muscle relief, and improved sleep. Check out our Weekly Fire & Ice Membership for consistent wellness and recovery.

BENEFITS OF Fire & Ice

Anti-aging

Alternating heat and cold therapy stimulates collagen production, boosts circulation, and promotes cellular renewal, helping to maintain youthful skin, enhance elasticity, and support natural rejuvenation.

Pain Relief

Contrast therapy effectively reduces inflammation, soothes sore muscles, and alleviates joint pain by improving blood flow and releasing tension, offering a natural solution for chronic discomfort.

Relaxation

Engage your body's relaxation response through thermal contrast, which calms the nervous system, reduces stress hormones, and helps release endorphins for a profound sense of calm and well-being.

Athletic Recovery

Improve recovery time after physical activity by reducing muscle soreness, flushing out lactic acid, and increasing oxygen flow to tissues, ensuring faster healing and improved athletic performance.

Mental Health

Enhance focus and cognitive function by stimulating blood flow to the brain, reducing mental fatigue, and boosting endorphins, which provide clarity, elevate mood, and improve productivity.

detox

Promote natural detoxification by stimulating the lymphatic system, increasing sweat production, and improving circulation, which helps the body eliminate toxins and maintain optimal health.

heart health

Boost cardiovascular health by improving blood vessel elasticity, enhancing circulation, and reducing stress on the heart, which promotes long-term vascular and overall heart wellness.

weight loss

Support weight management by activating metabolism, promoting the use of brown fat for energy, and stimulating calorie burning, making it an effective addition to a healthy lifestyle.

immunity

Strengthen the immune system by activating adaptive responses that help the body fight off infections, reduce inflammation, and build resilience against external stressors.

Fire & Ice FAQs

Infrared light is part of the invisible light spectrum emitted by the sun and penetrates our body at varying levels based on the length of waves of light. We feel this as warmth. Scientists have established that these infrared waves are beneficial to the human body without any of the harmful UV waves of sunlight. Each of these wavelengths has different health benefits with our industry leading Clearlight saunas covering the full spectrum without any of the high EMF’s associated with other saunas. Read more about the benefits and research Clearlight Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas have done on sauna use.

A cold plunge involves immersing your body in cold water to help reduce inflammation and swelling, relieve muscle soreness, and promote recovery. Cold therapies stimulate blood circulation and boost your immune system, so you can leave feeling energized and refreshed. 

We provide everything you need, including towels, slippers, robes (if you are doing a float as well), shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. 

You may wear a swimsuit or choose to go nude. The room is entirely private, so you are free to wear whatever makes you feel the most comfortable.

You will have 45 minutes for your session.

For most people, Fire and Ice Therapy is safe and beneficial. However, if you have certain medical conditions, such as cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, or sensitivity to extreme temperatures, you should consult with your healthcare provider before trying these therapies.

High body temperatures can increase the risk of complications or birth defects so it is best to avoid the sauna during pregnancy. However, it is safe to use the cold plunge while pregnant.

We clean and sanitize all touch points of the room between every client. Our Cold Plunge tank water is tested daily and kept between 40-100 ppm of peroxide that when combined with the UV light, 5 micron filtration and ozone make an experience that you can truly relax into.

Our infrared sauna stays between 140° and 145° Fahrenheit and the cold plunge 47° and 52° Fahrenheit. 

The recommended time of cold exposure for maximum benefits is 30 seconds to 2.5 minutes. Staying in beyond 6 minutes will not provide greater benefit. 

The Fire & Ice therapy involves high temperatures, so we suggest children under the age of 8 should not participate. Children above the age of 8 years old can enjoy both the sauna and the cold plunge. However, the younger the child is, the shorter their time should be in the cold plunge and the sauna. We recommend children should never plunge for longer than 2 minutes, and we recommend children spend only 5-10 minutes in the sauna at a time. Before trying, we also recommend parents consult with their pediatrician. 

It’s a good idea to hydrate beforehand. We recommend drinking 12-20 oz of water 30-60 minutes before your appointment. It’s best to avoid heavy meals or alcohol before your session but a light snack is fine.
