Cold Plunge or Cryotherapy
- Cold Plunge at 39°F or Cryo up to –220°F
- Recovery & Inflammation Relief
- Energizing Reset
Enhances blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles for faster repair and reduced stiffness. This helps flush out toxins like lactic acid, speeding up post-workout recovery. Reduces muscle soreness by balancing inflammation and relaxation. The heat soothes tight muscles, while the cold minimizes swelling and prevents excessive tissue damage.
Cold plunges constrict blood vessels, reducing swelling and numbing pain from sore muscles or injuries. This helps manage conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and chronic inflammation. Infrared heat relaxes muscles and improves flexibility, making movement easier and more comfortable. The increased circulation also delivers healing nutrients to damaged tissues.
Heat expands blood vessels (vasodilation), increasing oxygen flow throughout the body. This helps lower blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular function. Cold contracts blood vessels (vasoconstriction), training them to become more efficient. Over time, this improves circulation, strengthens the heart, and enhances vascular resilience.
Cold exposure triggers norepinephrine production, boosting energy and mental sharpness. This helps with focus, alertness, and reducing brain fog. Heat therapy lowers cortisol, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. This calms the nervous system, improving mood and overall mental well-being.
Heat exposure stimulates white blood cell production, helping the body fight off infections. Regular use of infrared saunas has been linked to a lower risk of colds and other illnesses. Cold therapy activates the body’s stress response, strengthening immune resilience. Over time, this helps the body adapt to stressors and improves overall immunity.
Cold exposure activates brown fat, which burns calories to generate heat. This process increases metabolic rate and can support weight management. Heat promotes detoxification and metabolic efficiency by raising core temperature. Sweating helps eliminate toxins, while the increased heart rate mimics the effects of light exercise.
Contrast Therapy alternates deep sauna heat with cold exposure — either Cold Plunge or Cryotherapy — to create rapid vascular changes, boost circulation, and accelerate whole-body recovery.
Compression Therapy: After completing your Contrast Therapy session, we recommend following up with Compression Therapy using Normatec. Once your body has experienced the thermal stimulation of hot and cold exposure, compression therapy helps enhance circulation, reduce residual swelling, and flush out metabolic waste. The combination supports faster muscle recovery, decreased inflammation, and an overall feeling of rejuvenation — making it one of the best post-contrast add-ons at ReEnergized.

★★★★★Rotating between the sauna and plunge is unlike anything else. I leave feeling clear, calm, and physically loose in a way that regular workouts don't touch.
Sydney Gills
★★★★★Contrast Therapy has become my weekly reset. The team makes it approachable and the setup at ReEnergized is dialed — heat, cold, quiet space to recover between rounds.
Melissa Smith
★★★★★Best recovery hour I spend all week. Two or three rounds and I sleep better, wake up sharper, and feel less inflamed after big training weeks.
Cold exposure is a discipline as much as a therapy — a way to build resilience against the noise of daily life. Here's how contrast rounds train the mind and body.
