Discover the best places to cold plunge near you. Based on reviews and research done by Dakota Ennis, Founder, The Cold Plunge Store
Why you can trust this guide
I run a national cold plunge retail brand and spend a lot of time testing recovery spots across the U.S. For this roundup, I focused on places you can actually visit today, prioritizing chains or multi-city venues with reliable cold plunge access, not just cryo or cold showers. I verified amenities and location finders from each brand’s own pages and recent press. Amenities can vary by location, so always check the local page before you go.
How I chose the “near me” winners
- Multi-city footprint (easier to find one near you)
- Amenity clarity (explicit cold plunges or cold pools)
- Booking and locator UX (fast, mobile-friendly)
- Community and experience (private vs. social options)
- Reputation and press (recent coverage or brand transparency)
The Top 10 "Cold Plunge Near Me" Chains
1) SweatHouz (SWTHZ), private contrast therapy suites 
Why it stands out: Private room with infrared sauna, true cold plunge, vitamin C shower, easy online booking, and a growing U.S. footprint.
Find a studio: sweathouz.com/locations.
My take: When I want a focused recovery block with zero distractions, private suites beat the social scene. Temps have been consistent, and the turnover is solid.
2) Life Time, big club access with new plunge rollouts
Why it stands out: The national operator announced cold plunge installs at 70+ clubs beginning in 2025. Use the club map, then check the amenities page for your location.
Find a club: lifetime.life/locations-map.
My take: If you already lift or swim at Life Time, adding a plunge before or after training is clutch. One membership, one parking spot.
3) Equinox (select clubs), premium pool decks with hot and cold plunges
Why it stands out: Some clubs list Cold / Hot Plunge directly on amenities (e.g., Rittenhouse).
Find a club: equinox.com/clubs (verify amenities on each club page).
My take: Great when you want a full premium spa vibe after a heavy session. I always double-check the club page before I go because amenities vary.
4) Remedy Place, social wellness clubs with guided ice baths
Why it stands out: Group ice bath experiences, “social self-care” concept with multiple U.S. clubs, and active expansion.
Locations: remedyplace.com (see “Locations”)
My take: On days I want community energy, guided breathwork, and plunge hits different. It’s a great bring-a-friend option.
5) Othership, ritual-driven sauna and ice bath (NYC and Toronto)
Why it stands out: Structured classes, big saunas, and true ice baths. Strong NYC presence with expanding locations.
Locations: othership.us/locations.
My take: Think “fitness class meets plunge ritual.” If you feed off coaching and group momentum, this is your spot.

My first-person checklist for a great session
- Temperature: I like 45–50°F for 2–3 minutes, repeat for 2–3 rounds. (Bathhouse publicly lists 45°F/50°F for reference.)
- Turnover & clarity: Ask staff how often water’s filtered and turned—clean water matters as much as temp.
- Workflow: Sauna → plunge → breathe → repeat. If I’m fried from training, I finish warmer; if I want a nervous-system reset, I end cold.
- Private vs. social: I choose private suites when I need focus; social settings when I want energy and breath coaching.
- Recovery stack: On heavy days, I pair plunges with light sauna, electrolyte water, and a 5-minute walk before getting back to work.
FAQs: Cold Plunge Near Me
How long should I stay in?
For most healthy adults, 2–5 minutes per round at ~39–55°F is a practical range (listen to your body and consult your doc if you have cardiac concerns). (General best-practice range aligns with temperatures and session flows published by venues like Bathhouse.)
Are these temps the same everywhere?
No—verify the local page before you go. Clubs and spas can change or rotate amenities. (Equinox and Life Time list amenities per club.)
What if I can’t find one near me?
Start with the SweatHouz locator, then check Pause Studio and Sauna House—they’re adding cities. If you already belong to Life Time or Equinox, check your club page; many are adding plunges this year.
