What Is Cold Plunge Therapy?
Cold plunge therapy (also called cold water therapy or cold tub therapy) involves immersing your body in water cooled to 45–55°F for short periods of time (2-10 minutes typically). This controlled exposure to cold stimulates circulation, reduces swelling, and activates endorphins—leaving you refreshed, recovered, and re-energized.

Cold Plunge Therapy Testimonials
“I’ve been really kicking ass, man. In addition to exercise, I’m doing six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I’ve lost over 70 pounds, and plan on losing another 100+.”
"Two minutes in the cold tub and I feel like I’ve had a full cup of coffee—without the crash."
"I train hard several days a week, and soreness used to slow me down. Since adding cold plunge sessions, I notice way less inflammation and I’m able to hit my workouts with more consistency. It’s become a critical part of my training routine."
"I’ll be honest, the first plunge was tough—I almost talked myself out of it. But once I pushed past the shock of the cold, I realized how incredible it felt afterward. Not only does my body recover faster, but mentally I feel more disciplined and grounded. It’s given me a new confidence that if I can handle the cold tub, I can handle just about anything life throws at me."
"As someone with a stressful job, I carry a lot of tension. After cold plunge therapy, my body feels lighter, and my mind feels calmer. The biggest surprise? I’ve been sleeping so much deeper since starting regular sessions. It’s the reset I didn’t know I needed."
"I used to think cold water therapy was just another wellness trend. But after hearing about the science, I decided to give it a shot—and I’m so glad I did. I struggle with joint pain from years of sports injuries, and the cold plunge has made a noticeable difference. The pain isn’t gone, but it’s so much more manageable. On top of that, my energy levels are higher, and I feel sharper mentally. It’s one of those things you don’t fully appreciate until you experience it yourself, and now I tell all my friends they need to try it."
Frequently Asked Questions
About Cold Plunge Therapy
How cold is the water?
Our cold tub is maintained between 45–55°F, the optimal range for effective, therapeutic benefits. This level induces the cold shock response without being overly extreme.
How long should I stay in the cold tub?
Most sessions last between 2–5 minutes, and our team can help guide you based on your comfort and goals. For beginners, start with 60-90 seconds and gradually work up to 3-5 minutes per session. The ideal duration depends on your tolerance and goals. Shorter, 1-3 minute sessions are often sufficient for benefits like alertness and inflammation reduction, while longer sessions are better to enhance recovery. Avoid exceeding 10 minutes to prevent risks like hypothermia, and always listen to your body regardless of the length you’re going for.
Is cold plunging safe for everyone?
Cold plunging is generally safe for healthy adults but not suitable for everyone. It’s not recommended for those with heart conditions, hypothyroidism, high stress, or certain illnesses, as it can strain the body and potentially lower metabolism or exacerbate issues. Pregnant individuals, children, or those with circulatory problems should consult a doctor first. Drawbacks include potential interference with muscle growth if done immediately post-workout and risks like frostbite if overdone.
How often should I do cold plunges?
Although a single plunge can leave you feeling refreshed, consistency is key for optimal therapeutic results. Aim for 2-4 sessions per week for optimal benefits without overtaxing the body. Daily plunges are possible for experienced users but may lead to adaptation or fatigue. For exercise recovery, wait at least 1.5-2 hours after workouts to avoid blunting muscle growth.
Will it help with weight loss?
Cold exposure can increase energy expenditure through shivering and boosted metabolism via brown fat activation. While there’s no clinical evidence that supports cold therapy as a standalone solution for weight loss, it’s an effective complementary tool alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to increase calorie burn and support a healthy metabolism.
Can cold plunge therapy improve sleep?
Yes, many patients report deeper, more restorative sleep after regular sessions thanks to reduced stress and nervous system reset.
Does it hurt?
The initial shock can be intense, but it subsides within 30–60 seconds. Most people describe the feeling after as invigorating and addictive.
What's the difference between a cold plunge and an ice bath?
Unlike DIY ice baths, our professional cold tub maintains a consistent temperature, is more hygienic, and offers 24/7 availability for Fix RED members. Both provide similar immersion benefits, but plunges are more convenient and consistent in temperature control.
Who shouldn’t do cold plunge therapy?
Those with certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or who are pregnant should consult their doctor first.
Can I combine cold plunge therapy with other treatments at FIX?
Absolutely! Cold plunges pair especially well with Red Light Therapy, PEMF, chiropractic care, and rehab—all available under one roof.
