WHO VISITS FROM HALE

Hale clients at RE:UP

Bowdon RUFC

Altrincham Velo

Cyclists from Altrincham Velo use the cold plunge on rest days and post-sportive. The contrast session (cold plunge + sauna) is well matched to the recovery demands of long-distance cycling.

THE ICE BATH

Two cold plunge baths at 4–7°C

RE:UP runs two commercial cold plunge baths, both maintained at 4–7°C using a chiller system. Temperature is monitored daily to keep it consistent throughout sessions. Having two baths means there is no queue — if one is occupied, the second is available. Both are included in every recovery session with no additional charge.

Many clients combine the cold plunge with the Finnish or sauna in alternating rounds — a practice known as contrast therapy. You do not have to follow a set routine. You can spend the full session in the cold plunge if that is what you came for.
