Generation 5 – Professional Ice Bath
Swedish Cold
Ice baths, or cold plunges, have evolved from a Nordic tradition into one of the most talked-about tools for recovery and well-being. But behind the hype lies a long history, a growing body of research, and a simple principle: controlled cold triggers responses in the body that can strengthen both the body and the mind. Here, we’ll go over what ice baths actually do, what the benefits are, and how to get started safely.
Ice bathing involves immersing your body in cold water—usually between 2 and 12 degrees—for a short period of time. But unlike a cold dip in a lake, a dedicated ice bath tub gives you full control over temperature, hygiene, and duration, making it easier to bathe regularly and safely, all year round.
It’s the regularity that makes all the difference. An ice bath every now and then feels refreshing, but it’s when the cold becomes part of your routine that your body begins to adapt and the long-term effects start to show.
When you immerse yourself in cold water, your body reacts immediately. The blood vessels in your skin and superficial muscles constrict to protect your core body temperature, your breathing quickens, and your heart pumps more forcefully. At the same time, neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine are released, contributing to the characteristic feeling of alertness and energy after a bath.
When you then step out of the water, your blood vessels dilate again and your circulation increases. This alternation between constriction and dilation is part of the reason why many people find ice baths to be both invigorating and revitalizing.
Ice bathing places a significant strain on the body and should be approached with caution. Never bathe alone when you’re just starting out, and always listen to your body’s signals. If you have heart problems, high blood pressure, are pregnant, or have any other underlying medical condition, you should consult a doctor before you begin. Never combine ice bathing with alcohol, and stick to safe, controlled conditions—a dedicated ice bath tub provides that safety.
The Nordic tradition of cold therapy isn’t just a trend for us—it’s part of our culture. With an ice bath at home or at your facility, you’ll have access to the same routine used by elite athletes and wellness clubs, with full control over temperature and hygiene every day of the year. The cold awaits—all you have to do is step right in

Thanks to the built-in filter and cooling system, maintenance is minimal – change the filter and the water according to our guide. A sauna requires virtually no ongoing maintenance.
Sauna bathing is associated with relaxation, better sleep, increased circulation and recovery. Regular sauna bathing has been linked in studies to cardiovascular health. The effects vary between individuals.
An infrared sauna warms the body directly with light at a lower temperature – gentler and easier to sit in for longer. A traditional sauna heats the air to a high temperature for the classic sauna ritual with löyly.
Many people cold plunge 3–7 times a week, 2–5 minutes at a time. Start short and build up at your own pace.
An ice bath, also called a cold plunge, is a tub of cold, temperature-controlled water in which you immerse your body for recovery. Our cold plunge tubs hold a steady temperature thanks to a built-in cooling system and filter.
Regular cold exposure is associated in research with faster recovery, less perceived muscle soreness, better mood and increased energy. Many people also experience sharper focus and better sleep. The effects vary between individuals.
