Here is what our community is saying about why they love Cold Plunge —
We are deeply intrigued by the many reasons people try cold plunge for the first time, and why they stick with it. For some it’s a healthy and fun social activity, for others a tool for both mental and physical wellness.
“I do it for the recovery benefits, it makes my sore muscles feel so good as well as my skin. Try and do it whenever I have a chance, I play about 5 games of baseball a week and this really helps in keeping my muscles in good shape and not over fatigued.”
“There is nothing quite as effective to calm and reset my central nervous system. As someone who does not have a lot of time to slow down and be present, a cold plunge does exactly that. As a bonus, my best sleeps are always after a cold plunge. I encourage anyone (even those scared of cold water) to try! It is also so rewarding knowing that you did it!”
“It makes me feel more energized — and it helps with muscle aches.”
“It makes me feel less anxious, clears my head and helps my sore muscles.”
“I like the sensation of jumping back into warm! I like being present and not thinking of anything but how cold/warm I feel. It makes me soooo relaxed after, I have the best sleeps and my nervous system is happy, which says a lot!”“It makes me feel less anxious, clears my head and helps my sore muscles.”
“Cold plunging is amazing for hormonal health and menopause, to eliminate brain fog, and to gain focus, energy and motivation. I try to plunge in the ocean once a week and I shower in cold almost daily. I love hot/cold circuits and am glad to see more and more opportunity to participate in this amazing natural therapy.”
“I love to do it because it makes me feel ALIVE! It starts my day off right, making me feel invigorated and at peace. There’s usually a group of us, and I also love the feeling of community that we get from it.”
