Cold Cowboy Club has been doing wellness pop ups for the past three years, and now has a physical space located inside Latah Chiro. I discovered them as a neighbor on The Bench during one of the pop ups they were doing in their parking lot.
First off, going up to a bunch of strangers who like to sit in extreme hot and cold is intimidating in and of itself, however, the entire staff is nothing but incredibly friendly and cordial, and they welcomed me when I came up to try the contrast for myself. That first day, I used their mobile setup of ice baths and sweat tents, but Dr. John offered me a quick tour of the facility and explained that they have drop in rates as well as membership packages. I told him that I would go for a month trial, and wanted to see if there would be any positive results.
That was three weeks ago. Having an unlimited membership, I have gone 6 days a week since signing up. The online portal is incredibly easy to use, and I book a 45 minute session based on availability. My days off, I go in as early as I can to start my day energized, and on my work days I choose to end the day relaxing in a sauna.
I haven't slept this good in years. I feel physically amazing, my mental health has genuinely been lifted, and I love having a dedicated 45 minutes a day to not be on my phone and focus on mindfulness and meditation. The cold plunge is pretty intense at first, as they keep the temperature around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, but the sauna has easy controls on the front to change from an average of 180, up to my personal preference of 195. It takes a few days to get used to the intensity, but now I feel the difference on the days I don't go.
With how densely populated the bench has become, it's hard to justify spending 20k on a setup for home use, so the unlimited membership is a no brainer for anyone interested in contrast therapy. My first month trial is almost over, but I'm excited for my next month's renewal. read more
