Overview
​​Estimated temperature range: 150–195°F
Our hot tubs are designed with both comfort and recovery in mind. A state-of-the-art overflow filtration system ensures water is continuously refreshed, maintaining the highest standard of cleanliness for every soak.
​
Each tub is lined with natural megranite stone, valued for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties. Combined with warm, circulating water and targeted jets, this environment helps increase blood flow, relieve muscular tension, and support faster recovery after exercise or long days of physical strain. The steady warmth loosens stiff joints and relaxes tight muscles, while the buoyancy of the water reduces pressure on the body, providing relief and promoting a greater range of motion.
​
Whether you’re an athlete seeking post-training recovery, managing chronic stiffness, or simply looking for a way to ease daily stress, a 15–20 minute session can help restore balance, reduce discomfort, and leave you feeling lighter and more relaxed.
History
The practice of soaking in warm water is as old as civilization itself. From the communal onsen of Japan and thermae of ancient Rome to the mineral springs cherished by indigenous cultures, hot water bathing has long been valued for its ability to relax the body, soothe the mind, and foster connection. These early rituals recognized what modern science now confirms: warm water immersion offers measurable benefits for both physical recovery and overall wellbeing.
Today, research into hydrotherapy shows that regular hot tub use can improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and relieve joint stiffness. The combination of heat, buoyancy, and water pressure promotes better blood flow, delivers oxygen to muscles, and reduces inflammation—accelerating recovery after physical exertion or injury.
Studies have also linked hot water immersion to lower blood pressure, improved vascular health, and enhanced sleep quality through deeper relaxation and more efficient thermoregulation.

Our cold plunges are designed to deliver a rejuvenating and restorative hydrotherapy experience. A state-of-the-art overflow filtration system ensures crystal-clear water with every plunge, while natural megranite stone linings enhance the experience with subtle anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties.
​
The invigorating chill of the water rapidly stimulates circulation, tightens muscles, and reduces inflammation, making it a powerful tool for recovery and revitalization. The buoyancy and cooling effect relieve pressure on joints and muscles, helping the body feel lighter and more refreshed.
Whether you’re seeking faster post-workout recovery, a way to reduce inflammation and soreness, or simply a refreshing reset for the mind and body, a brief session in the cold plunge delivers immediate invigoration and lasting benefits.
History
The practice of cold water immersion stretches back thousands of years, rooted in cultures across the world. In ancient Greece and Rome, athletes and philosophers alike used frigid baths in gymnasiums and thermae to invigorate the body and sharpen the mind. In Japan, the ritual of misogi—a form of cold-water purification—has been practiced for centuries as a way to renew both body and spirit. Nordic cultures embraced icy lakes and plunge pools after sauna sessions, a tradition that continues today as part of Scandinavian wellness culture.
From faster muscle recovery to improved circulation and mental clarity, even brief sessions can support both physical resilience and emotional balance.
-
Cold water immersion has been extensively studied for its effects on the body and mind. Short, controlled plunges activate the sympathetic nervous system, causing blood vessels to constrict and then dilate once the body begins to warm. This process improves circulatory efficiency, promotes oxygen delivery to muscles, and reduces inflammation—key factors in muscle recovery and joint relief.
-
Exposure to cold water also stimulates the release of norepinephrine and dopamine, neurotransmitters linked to increased focus, improved mood, and reduced stress. Regular immersion has been associated with greater resilience to physical and mental stressors, as well as potential support for immune function.
-
Additionally, the cooling effect helps lower core body temperature, which can improve sleep quality by supporting the body’s natural thermoregulation cycle. When combined with other recovery practices, such as stretching or contrast therapy, cold plunges serve as a scientifically supported method to enhance both physical recovery and mental clarity.
