A typical session might follow this cycle:

SAUNA (approx. 15–20 minutes)

COLD PLUNGE (1–3 minutes)

RELAX in lounge area with health elixir and water (10 minutes)
Go at your own rhythm — hot, cold, repeat. There’s no “wrong” way to cold plunge–just listen to your body.

At Contrast Therapy, the health and safety of our guests is our top priority. Our cold plunge uses an advanced filtration system and the tub is drained every night. To ensure our cold plunge and sauna facilities meet Health Canada standards equipment is cleaned and maintained daily.

Please bring a bathing suit and a water bottle (no glass). We provide a towel, an over-sized thick, plush, highly absorbent 100% cotton terry cloth bathrobe, and shower amenities. Day-use lockers are available.
To maintain a clean environment, Contrast Therapy is a no outdoor-shoes space beyond the changerooms. If you prefer to cover your feet, please bring indoor footwear.

In our private hot-cold recovery lounge, you’ll flow between a far-infrared sauna and a cold plunge pool — a ritual rooted in Nordic tradition and designed to support circulation, nervous system regulation, and overall wellbeing.

Our lounge includes a far-infrared sauna, a cold plunge, robes and towels provided, and filtered water for drinking are included in the session.

Beauty and health elixirs are available for purchase for an enhanced self-care experience.

You can talk, laugh, and relax —this is your private space. Just bear in mind that yoga classes are happening nearby. Phones should stay tucked away during your session.

Contrast Therapy at 280 Fort Street has 2 hour free parking in the north lot, against the north facing wall of the building. There is paid parking on the street and in the southern lot.

Our cold plunge ranges from approximately 0 °C to 4 °C, and our far-infrared sauna ranges 60º–100º c.

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before joining, especially if you have heart or blood pressure concerns. Take it slow, stay hydrated, and pause if you need to. Although our team prioritizes your safety, participation is at your own risk, and Contrast Therapy cannot be held responsible for any health-related incidents.

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before booking, as both sauna heat and cold immersion can affect circulation and body temperature. Most health authorities, including Health Canada–aligned sources, advise limiting sauna time to around 10–15 minutes and avoiding overheating, especially during early pregnancy. Cold plunging research is limited, so shorter immersions at milder temperatures are recommended.

Participation during pregnancy is entirely at your own discretion and should only be done with prior medical approval.

If you’re not feeling your best, we encourage you to rest and reschedule your session for another day. Taking care of yourself helps keep our community well, too.

Participants must be 18 years or older to use Contrast Therapy.

To prevent heat damage, please remove glasses before your session.
