Can’t decide if you like these warmer days, or the cold ones? We get it. Now Contrast also has choices – we’ll be running our tubs at a couple different temperatures and you decide how cold you want to go!
Want to take it a little easy and focus on reducing muscle soreness and inflammation? Try our 50-degree tubs. This temperature will improve blood circulation as the body responds to the cold by constricting blood vessels and then dilating them as it warms, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles. Additionally, this moderate cold exposure can stimulate the release of endorphins, promoting a sense of well-being and reducing stress.
Feeling bold? We’ll also have tubs running close to 40 degrees, and if you have the gumption, the benefits extend beyond muscle recovery. More extreme cold exposure activates brown adipose tissue (brown fat), which boosts metabolism and assists with calorie burning, potentially aiding in weight management. Immersing in colder temperatures can also promote a heightened state of mental resilience, as the initial shock of the cold helps train the nervous system to manage stress more effectively.
At Contrast, we are a community focused on wellness, health and comradery. Whether in our communal space with friends or in our private rooms by yourself or with a partner, we are your Hot + Cold recovery solution. We offer a range of Memberships depending on your needs, or Join Us for a discounted first visit.
