RECOVERY ROOM

Our recovery room features a big, traditional hot sauna outfitted with LED mood lighting and high-output speakers to set the soundscape, paired with two Polar Plunge cold tubs. Designed for contrast therapy and post-training reset, it’s a clean, intentional space to slow down, recharge, and feel ready for whatever’s next.

What Is Contrast Therapy?

Contrast therapy is the practice of alternating between hot and cold exposure to promote recovery, reduce inflammation, and boost circulation. At MVMT Studio, our recovery room pairs a traditional hot sauna with two Polar Plunge cold tubs, giving you the full contrast therapy experience in one dedicated space. This method has been used by athletes and wellness practitioners worldwide to accelerate muscle recovery, improve mood, and support immune function.

Benefits of Our Recovery Room

• Faster muscle recovery: Alternating between heat and cold helps reduce delayed onset muscle soreness after intense workouts, allowing you to train more consistently.

• Improved circulation: The hot-cold cycle stimulates blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles while flushing out metabolic waste.

• Mental clarity and stress relief: The sauna and cold plunge combination triggers the release of endorphins and norepinephrine, leaving you feeling alert, calm, and focused.

• Better sleep quality: Regular contrast therapy sessions have been shown to improve sleep patterns and help with overall relaxation.

• Immune system support: Cold exposure in particular has been linked to increased white blood cell production and enhanced immune response.
