COLD PLUNGE MEMBERSHIPS
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Memberships and appointments are exclusively made online, through our member app through Gym Master
Our plunge is self-serve during business hours. Our members may access the plunge room on their own. For first timers, we recommend a guided plunge with one of our staff. Simply request this at checkout or message us online
Memberships are billed monthly. Choose from 5, 10, 15, or 30 plunges per month. Sessions do not roll over if unused. Cancel anytime before 24 hours ahead of your next billing cycle
Plunge sessions are 15 minutes in length. We recommend starting with 2 minutes and slowly work your way up to 8 minutes
Our plunge is maintained with spa-quality chlorine, and kept at constant pH and alkalinity levels and cleaned regularly. Our water is constantly circulated and filtered down to 20 microns for a crystal clear and clean plunge
Add a Buddy- We allow ONE additional person to be added to your plunge session. Everyone must sign a waiver to utilize these services. All waivers must be signed PRIOR to appointment.

Before you plunge, visualize the process of getting in deliberately and in a controlled manner. Don’t move too fast, or too slow, just right
Please bring a set of dry clothes and your own towel to dry off after your plunge
