A typical studio session lasts two to ten minutes at water temperatures between 45°F and 59°F. The first thirty seconds are the most challenging — an intense cold shock and strong urge to exit — which subsides as breathing normalizes and the body adjusts. Most people notice a sustained energy lift and sense of calm within minutes of finishing.

Cold plunge, also called cold-water immersion, involves submerging the body in cold water — typically between 45°F and 59°F (7–15°C) — for a set duration ranging from two to fifteen minutes. Practiced for centuries and widely popularized by researchers and athletes, it has become a staple at recovery studios across the US.
