when implementing such modalities into your wellness routine:
Better muscle recovery and blood circulation

Healthier sleeping habits
Improved respiratory health and higher white blood cell count
Not to mention the essential personal time [you read that right, SWTHZ offers 100% private luxury contrast therapy suites] and relaxation.
Below are further Q&As that could help determine if contrast therapy is for you!
What is an Infrared Sauna?
Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas use infrared lamps –
electromagnetic waves – to warm your body directly. Because of this, an infrared
sauna can operate at a lower temperature (between 120 ̊F and 140 ̊F) leading to
a longer exposure and more comfort.
Why the Cold Plunge?
Including cold water immersion in your recovery and wellness efforts, like the
cold plunge at SweatHouz, comes with its own host of mental and physical
benefits, including decreased muscle soreness, an upregulation of
neurotransmitters like epinephrine and dopamine to elevate your mood and a
short-term increase in metabolism.
I’ve heard of Cryotherapy... is Cold Plunge the same thing?
Cold Plunge and Cryotherapy are similar concepts with different modalities.
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen in a specialized chamber. Like cold water
immersion, Cryotherapy will lower core body temperature, cause vasoconstriction
and redistribution of blood flow, and can provide temporary pain relief. However,
a Cold Plunge session at SWTHZ is customizable, hassle-free, accessible, and
safer.
Do I have to be an Athlete to use Contrast Therapy?
Reaping the benefits of contrast therapy has no criteria, especially in physical
attributes. Contrast therapy can be used as preventative care, or an overall
wellness tool providing long-term health benefits.
How often should I use the Sauna & Cold Plunge?
Both heat therapy and cold therapy have clear recommendations for weekly
volume goals. SWTHZ [and the science] recommends 90 minutes a week in the
infrared sauna at 140o. Subsequently, cold exposure therapy should be 11
minutes per week, broken up into 2-4 sessions. A temperature between 48-55 ̊F
is both safe and efficient in experiencing all the benefits of deliberate cold
exposure.
How do I prepare for my first Contrast Therapy session?
Dress for comfort and come ready to sweat! It is recommended that you hydrate
before, during, and after your session. Transition from the sauna to the cold
plunge or you can alternate between modalities in shorter increments throughout
your session before ending with a vitamin-c-infused shower – all in the privacy of
your own luxury suite.
Where can I book my first Contrast Therapy session?
There are many facilities that offer cold plunge and sauna access, some fitness
studios may have variations of these modalities available in their locker rooms,
but if you prefer a more elite experience, SWTHZ is the place for you. A
fresh-designed luxury contrast therapy studio where clients have exclusive
access to their own private suite equipped with an infrared sauna, cold plunge tub, and vitamin-C shower. SWTHZ offers memberships ranging from 4-visits-a-month
