As a fitness instructor, I really value how fast I recovered using contrast therapy (sauna / cold plunge) My lower back and knee pain were gone for the day, amazing sleep, lots of energy, great mood, better focus, better nervous system regulation. Love it!

I recently had the opportunity to experience what Ice Pass has to offer in both locations, one in Venice, which is the headquarters and the other one in Santa Monica.
I was blown away by how amazing I felt after the contrast therapy they offer, which is sauna followed by a cold plunge, followed by another round of sauna and cold plunge. And what that does to your body is so beneficial, there are a long list of benefits that you get from doing this therapy regularly.
I loved the fact that they have a shower that has vitamin C which is great for your skin and hair and it's free of chlorine and fluoride for you to rinse after the sauna and before anytime you go into the cold plunge.
After doing this contrast therapy, what I experience was a very good night sleep that night, my joints felt great, I am a fitness instructor and I teach six times a week so I absolutely felt the immediate benefits of hot and cold on my knees and lower back, the pain that I usually experience in my joints was all gone!
When I did the cold plunge by itself, first thing in the morning before teaching my fitness classes is like having an espresso drink, it gives you so much energy and stamina, also mental focus, and a great mood immediately, I don't know any other thing that acts that fast.
When I did the sauna and the cold plunge after my workout, I felt very relaxed and pain free and when I did that contrast therapy of sauna and cold plunge before bed, I had one of the best night sleep that I have experience in a long time.
I just recommend to everybody to hydrate properly before going on the sauna and getting your electrolytes and good quality salt to avoid getting too tired, because you will sweat a lot of toxins but also a lot of minerals, you just want to make sure you are properly hydrated before and after to avoid feeling fatigue after.
I cannot recommend this place enough to anybody who's looking to improve their performance at the gym, their mental focus at work, their joint health, their sleep, their mood, their energy. It's truly amazing and on top of everything is outdoors so if you go around midday, you get your vitamin D and a nice tan while drying from the cold plunge. And one of the best things is, that is a great place to socialize, you will meet a lot of cool people, guys and girls that are like-minded, in the sense that they are also looking to improve their health naturally.
I am so glad that Ice Pass is bringing these ancient traditions to a modern world that needs it desperately. We are all surrounded by so much stress, and this really takes care of your nervous system.
As somebody who prioritizes her health, I recommend this place to anybody that feels the same way. I absolutely loved the experience and I will become a regular. read more
