Contrast Therapy

Sweat Equity is one of the only places in Central Texas offering contrast therapy in a private suite. We understand that not everyone wants to experience this type of therapy in front of other customers for many potential reasons. Our contrast therapy suite allows  you to have a private experience without any unwanted attention. The only time you will have someone with you will be during your initial visit with us, and only when going into the cold plunge after the sauna. This allows us to walk you through some very important breathwork and protocols. After your initial visit, you may continue to have us guide you through the cold plunge or experience it all to yourself.

Although clothing is optional in the infrared sauna, we do require that you transition to wearing a bathing suit inside the cold plunge. We’ll have plenty of towels available to help you transition. Additionally, you can be confident the water is cleaned and purified with our non-stop filtration, infusion of ozone, and use of silver ions via a mineral stick at the bottom of the plunge.

Everyone’s experience will be different and times may vary, but a contrast therapy session typically follows these steps:

• Step 1: Spend up to 30 minutes inside our two-seater infrared sauna where your blood flow will increase as your body heats up and you’ll have detoxifying sweat; ridding your body of unwanted toxins.
• Step 2: Exit the sauna, pause for mindfulness, and put on your bathing suit. Once ready, you will ring the bell (required for first-time visit) and one of our staff members will guide you through entering the cold plunge.
• Step 3:  Once inside the cold plunge, your body will route blood from your extremities to your core. You will focus on your breathing and spend anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes immersed in our cold plunge.
• Step 4:  You will carefully exit the cold plunge, dry off and pause for mindfulness before transitioning out of the private suite; refreshed, refocused, and present.
