Cold-Plunges

Open Contrast Therapy starts in the Medical Saunas™ Spa 9 Infrared Dry Sauna set 150°F that can fit 10-12 people comfortably. Regular sauna use is at least 20 minutes, 2-4 times a week. Those new to hot sauna may need to gradually reach 20 minutes over time. Enjoy a chilled or moist towel infused with essential oils after your sauna before starting the second part of your Contrast Therapy.

Next head to the Tub Room which is equipped with Frozen 9™ cold-water plunge tubs. COLD PLUNGES ARE NOT ICE BATHS! Our Frozen 9™ tubs are set at 55°F which allows for longer cold-water immersion to reach the goal of at least 2 minutes in a plunge. Those new to cold-plunge may not be able to meet the 2-minute mark, and that's okay. It takes time to build up your stamina. Our Frozen 9™ tubs are constantly filtering with a Separated Double Filtration and Water Purification Systems. Water passes through an initial filtration and then filtered down to 20 Microns before passing through a UV Light Sterilization Tube and then through an Ozone Water Cycle Sterilization component. Our daily testing and regular full water replacement ensures our tub water is crystal clear and properly pH balanced.

Contrast Therapy does not require water temperatures to be in the 30s or 40s°F to achieve the same health benefits, and that's the difference with Firefly's moderate approach to Contrast Therapy.

The Private Contrast Therapy Room is equipped with the Medical Saunas™ Spa 3 and your own Frozen 9™ cold-water plunge tub but requires an appointment, so drop-ins are based on room availability only. Guests are always free of charge!
