Ice Bath

Guided cold plunge and breathwork, the six minute class that started it all.

$55·30 min·All clubs

The six minute club.

The Ice Bath is the experience Remedy Place is known for. It began at a retreat in 2019, a ten person guided plunge that guests called life changing, and it has been our signature ever since. A coach, a proprietary breathwork soundtrack, and thirty nine degree water add up to the fastest way we know to feel completely different in under ten minutes.

How the class works

Breathe

It opens with our guided breathwork soundtrack, a round of holotropic style breathing that primes the body and quiets the mind.

Rinse

A quick shower keeps the water pristine for everyone in the group.

Plunge

Pick your song, then your coach guides you into thirty nine degree water for up to six minutes. Make it the whole six and you have joined the 6-Minute Club.

Recover

Warm on our heated chocolate travertine beds, designed to draw blood back to your core and lungs, then celebrate together in the lounge.

Why it works

Cold is a controlled stressor. Paired with breath, it teaches your nervous system to stay calm under pressure and floods the body with norepinephrine, the chemistry behind the clarity and mood lift that can last for hours afterward. The breathwork is what makes six minutes possible: it moves you out of fight or flight, so the cold becomes something you ride rather than fight.

Good to know

Do I need any experience?

None. Every class is coached from the first breath to the last second, and first timers are exactly who the coach is there for.

How cold is the water?

Thirty nine degrees Fahrenheit. Cold enough to matter, and very doable once the breathwork settles you in.

How long am I in the water?

Up to six minutes. Stay for all six and you are in the 6-Minute Club, but any amount of time counts.

Is it really social?

Yes. It is our most social experience, done as a group, with time to warm up and celebrate together after.

What should I bring?

Just swimwear. Towels, robes, showers, and everything else are here.
