Recovery
COLDPLUNGE.
Cold water immersion in the recovery area — less soreness, faster recovery, more alertness.
What it is
COLDWATER.
The recovery area at Extreme Fitness includes a cold plunge. The gym lists reduced muscle soreness, faster recovery, improved circulation, increased alertness, better mood and reduced stress among the reasons members use it.
It is a simple addition to a training day: train, recover, and get back to your week. If you are new to cold water, start with what feels manageable and ask the team.
