Contrast therapy is a scientifically-backed approach to recovery, alternating between hot and cold temperatures for optimal physical performance and wellness. Sauna and ice baths are both great tools for recovery and overall health. Saunas are proven to improve blood circulation, boost immunity, relieve stress and benefit cardiovascular & skin health, while ice baths have been shown to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation. Heat first, cold last.

Typical Contrast Cycle:

1. Red Light Therapy or Normatec for 5-15 min (optional)
2. Sauna or Hot Tub for 10-15 min
3. Cold Plunge - 2-5 min
4. Repeat cycle

We encourage guests to dress up or down to their comfort level by wearing clean workout clothes or a swimsuit. Sandals, slippers or slides are preferred. We do recommend bringing loose fitting clothing to wear after your session. Changing rooms are available for all guests.

We believe in the power of community and have built the studio to reflect as such. We can accomodate up to 20 adults at once utilizing the amenities, with additional space for yoga and stretching.

A traditional sauna uses a source of heat to heat the air within the sauna while infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit radiant heat that penetrates your muscles and body directly. Despite similar benefits, infrared saunas for some are preferred due to their lower temperature.
