Cold Plunge Review 2024 - Ditch The Ice Bags And Get A Real Ice Bath For Home
The bees knees of cold plunge tubs is ready for plug-and-plunge with no need for buying bags of ice ever again
The Plunge Cold Plunge tub is one of those bits of gear that can just straight up improve your life. The fitness and wellness space has experienced a huge evolution during covid lockdowns and beyond as people opted for continuing their own exercise and recovery routines at-home and others started experimenting with things like ice baths, sauna blankets and biohacking to maintain their best self during the times, mentally and physically, instead of scrolling Tiktok or Instagram.
The Plunge, or Cold Plunge tub is one of a few ice bath options that have allowed the hardcore, committed folk to continue their cold water immersion practice at home and introduced newbies to a little slice of Wim Hof The Iceman. The Cold Plunge is literally an ice bath tub that you fill with tap water and let the built in chiller unit cool down the tub to your desired temperature for cold plunge.
Many people opt for cheaper options for cold plunge but end up spending a whole lot more on ice bags to chill down the ice bath tub. The Plunge Cold Plunge is way more superior to filling a bin with ice or an inflatable ice bath tub and give you ice cold water whenever you want to cold plunge without the need for buying extra ice.
In our Cold Plunge Review, we will compare a few Cold Plunge alternatives, lay out the cold hard truths about ice baths and cold water immersion benefits, and break down the nuts and guts of what you get when you buy a Cold Plunge.

WTF Is A Cold Plunge?
Cold plunge, ice bath, cold water therapy, cold water immersion and plunge are some of the terms you may hear used to describe this invigorating and energising recovery tool. Basically, cold plunge is the practice of immersing all or some of the body into a tub, bath, lake or pool of ice cold water as cold as one can handle. The optimal amount of time spent doing an ice bath and the optimal temperature are up for debate, but to achieve some degree of benefit from the shock proteins, metabolic response and mental fortitude training we would recommend building to a temperature of 41F-50F (5-10 degrees celcius) for an accumulated time of 10 minutes.

Most likely you already know what is a cold plunge and what the benefits of ice baths are if you are looking at our Cold Plunge Review. We have compared and reviewed a whole bunch of the best ice bath tubs in some of our previous content, but why are we (and some the best athletes in the world) so interested in ice baths for recovery?
Cold plunge as a practice has some pretty epic benefits that can not be overlooked for speeding up recovery time from exercise, for improving sleep quality and reducing the time it takes to fall asleep, affecting mental fortitude and self control, for increasing immune strength, for accessing the rest and digest state, reducing pain and inflammation and many other science backed benefits. Dr. Rhonda Patrick has written a pretty in-depth report into the benefits of shocking the body with cold water, which outlines the benefits of cold exposure on the brain, for weight loss, to reduce inflammation and pain and increase immunity.
Traditionally, cold water immersion was one of a number of activities and treatments that was used by the Ancient Greeks under the teachings and practices of Thermalism.
Now, ice baths have been popularised by the eccentric, world renowned Iceman, Wim Hof, who has championed the powers of the breath, cold and movement as a formidable practice for affecting overall health and performance. Wim Hof has caused a huge revitalisation of both breathing practices and cold water therapy and created a massive market for ice bath tubs for cold plunge at home and in gyms.
Brands like Cold Plunge have capitalised on the opportunity and offer a premium design with cooling and filtration for a fresh ice bath ready to use at a minute's notice, but read on to see if it’s worth the money.
Cold Plunge Specs
The Cold Plunge is a bathtub style ice bath for one person that can be bought in a cold only, hot and cold or pro version. How big is the Cold Plunge and will it even fit in your space? The Cold Plunge comes in the following measurements and dimensions:
49 inches (109cm) wide
67 inches (170cm) long
28 inches (71cm) deep
As for weight, the Cold Plunge & Hot & Cold Plunge tub weighs 165 lbs., the chiller weighs 41 lbs. and all together weigh 1,000 lbs. (453kg) full of water. If you're placing it on a deck or balcony, make sure it can support the weight. The Cold Plunge Pro is even heavier than this so weight and supporting structure is definitely a consideration when buying a Cold Plunge.
What Does The Cold Plunge Include?
It really depends which Cold Plunge tub you purchase that determines what you get with your ice bath. For this article we will focus on the basic Cold Plunge inclusions, and if you are more interested in the Cold Plunge Pro or Hot and Cold varieties of Cold Plunge products you can jump onto their website for more info.
As a basic list, here’s what you get when you buy a Cold Plunge:
The tub - An acrylic design that is simple and sleek to fit in any indoor or outdoor designed space.
Insulated cover - this cover is placed over the Cold Plunge to maintain the temperature when not in use and contributes to the energy efficiency of the Plunge which only cost about $1/day to run on average.
Cell phone holder - this is essential to improve the cold plunge experience and can be affixed overhanging the plunge to play calming music or set your own timer.
Hose filter - this is fitted to the end of the hose you use to fill your cold plunge and filters out any impurities before they enter the Plunge system.
Skimmer net - this is essential for scooping out any leaves, scum and dirt that is floating in the Cold Plunge particularly if you are keeping the same water in the tub for extended periods.
Guided videos - when you buy a Cold Plunge you also get exclusive access to some guided cold plunge videos to assist you through the best protocols and breathing methods to get the most out of your cold therapy practice.
Warranty - Cold Plunge offers a standard 12 month warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee on any Cold Plunge product but also give the option for purchasing an extended 3 or 5 year warranty through Clyde to cover mechanical and electrical breakdown and repair without cost.
Cold Plunge Cost
The price of a Cold Plunge is not for the faint of heart, but neither is dunking your whole body in an ice cold bath for fun. You can get the base model Cold Plunge tub for $4990 or really reach to the moon with your recovery and opt for the Hot/Cold Plunge Pro model for $6490, both with free delivery around some of the US.

Although the cost of a Cold Plunge seems extreme when compared to some other portable ice baths, you have to factor in the added cost to cool your ice bath with ice if you are buying a cold plunge tub with no built in chiller unit. While some people are content with converting a chest freezer to an ice bath, the Plunge Cold Plunge is a high quality purpose built cold plunge tub which is much safer than a chest freezer conversion.
Considering the average ice bath tub for cold plunge requires about 200-500 litres of water to fill you are looking at anywhere from 3 to 6 bags of ice to chill your ice bath to the temperature that you want for the benefits of cold water immersion to be accessible. If each bag of ice costs $4-5 you are looking at a further $15-$24 in costs every time you want to do a cold plunge.
If you have a regular cold therapy practice and are doing cold plunge for recovery 3-4 times a week like the experts like Dr. Rhonda Patrick recommends, you could be trying to fork out another $60+ per week to maintain your cold plunge protocol. Over the course of a year you have almost paid the same amount in ice as you would have spent on a Cold Plunge which has its own chiller unit. In the long run, the Cold Plunge is a far more cost effective way to do a cold plunge if you are a regular ‘plunger’ as it costs roughly $1/day to keep your Cold Plunge running.
Similarly, if you compare the purchase of buying a Cold Plunge to spending money on a weekly membership or casual visit of a wellness or recovery space that does cold plunge, if you are a regular ice bather then buying your own is a smart move. If you pay roughly $50/week to do a few cold plunge session at your local gym or wellness space like we still occasionally do to meet up with some friends, in a little over a year you will have spent the same amount it would have cost to buy your own Cold Plunge for home. This is a no-brainer if you have a space that you know will be able to set up the Cold Plunge and not need to transport regularly.
Cold Plunge Review 2024
The Cold Plunge is a stand alone product in the cold plunge tub market at this stage and this product really took off following its appearance on shark tank.
The first Plunge was created after the Founder, Michael’s, shop was shut down in the infamous covid lockdown of March 2020. Michael grew determined to create a more affordable cold plunge tub with a regular ice bath practice of his own turned into a passion to create an attainable product to service on-demand ice baths. After help from his dad, partnering with Ryan, the guys improved the product, building about 2 dozen Plunges in Michael’s garage, opened a factory in California to grow production and landed Connor Mcgregor in a Cold Plunge which did wonders for the brands popularity.
The unique design, price, energy efficiency, warranty, inclusions and reviews of the Cold Plunge make it not a question of is a Cold Plunge worth it, but, how long will it take you to save for a Cold Plunge tub? Let’s take a dive into why we love the Cold Plunge so much for ice bathing…
Cold Plunge Model Options
The Cold Plunge can be bought in a number of different options depending on the user requirements. Each Plunge has a slightly different size, performance specs and heating/cooling ability. Whether your are buying the Plunge for home, for your gym or for the purpose of both ice baths and hot spa will determine which model is right for you.
The Plunge OG
The original Plunge is for your average home user that is looking for a single person ice bath tub for doing cold plunge at home. The Plunge offers you chilled water whenever you need it and has a built in cooling and filtration system.
The Plunge can be filled up with your standard tap water from home after fitting the filtration nossle to the hose. The Plunge can keep the same water running through for up to 6 months before it needs changing which means the Plunge is perfect for people who want a hassle free, on demand cold plunge pool after training or a big day. This model has a cooling ability of 2.5F per hour which means it can be left overnight and be ice cold on the morning.
Cold Plunge Pro XL
The Cold Plunge Pro XL is much like the Plunge in that it is designed for residential or home use, however it is designed for taller people. If you are someone who is over 6ft tall you may want to consider this model as it provides a more spacious tub for taller people, at 3" taller, 6" longer, and 1.5" wider than the standard Plunge.
The benefit of the Plunge Pro XL model is that it also has a more powerful cooling unit, with the ability to cool water up to 3x faster than the standard model.
This makes the Plunge Pro XL also ideal for a household or small gym that will be offering about 5-10 cold plunge sessions per day or for use in an area that is generally very hot and takes extra cooling power to keep the water chilled. The only downside to this extra power is that the chiller is a little bit more noisy and not ideal for placing close to living spaces like bedrooms or lounge rooms for noise.
Hot and Cold Plunge
Each model Plunge can also be purchased with a Hot and Cold option meaning not only can it be a cold plunge pool, but it can be transformed into a hot spa in a matter of hours. The Hot & Cold Plunge option comes in a little bit more pricey at roughly $500 more on top of the base model Plunge, XL or Commercial but is a two for one deal with being able to have a super cold ice bath during the warmer months and switch to a relaxing hot spa during the winter months if that’s your vibe.
Commercial Plunge Pro
The Commercial Plunge Pro is for you if you are going to use the Plunge in a commercial setting like in a gym or recovery centre. The Commercial Plunge Pro is a far cry from a portable inflatable ice bath tub and comes with all of the bells and whistles you need for a cold plunge tub that is going to be used every day by handfuls of clients. The Commercial model will cost you $6490 in the base model or $7990 in the Hot/Cold model and includes a more robust pump and a commercial warranty.
Cold Plunge Setup
The Cold Plunge offers a Plug-and-Plunge setup for their basic Plunge model and the product can literally be plonked in the desired location and plugged into the wall socket and turned on.
The Cold Plunge setup procedure goes a little something like this:
Feverishly unbox and unwrap your Cold Plunge tub when it arrives for delivery and place it the desired location that it will stay;
Fill your Plunge up with a standard garden hose and be sure to attach the included filtration to your hose before filling;
Plug in your Cold Plunge and set your temperature anywhere down to 39F and let it cool down the water and further filter out any impurities, this takes a couple of hours to cool down the water ready for an ice cold plunge;
When you are finished, place the insulated cover back over the Cold Plunge to keep the energy efficiency high and the water temperature low.
Cold Plunge Protocols
Many people wonder what the best cold plunge protocol is. What ice bath temperature should you set your cold plunge to?
How long should you spend in a cold plunge? How many times per week should you cold plunge? These are all relevant questions and the answers are very much dependant on the individual.
Cold Shower Protocol
Cold plunge should be approached from your own base line tolerance to cold exposure for starters. Someone who is new to ice baths will most likely not be able to calmly and safely tolerate the lowest temperature of The Plunge at 39F.
If you are a beginner, starting out your cold water immersion practice, it may be smart and humble to try 30 days of cold showers in the morning. You could even scale it back further and just finish with 2 minutes of cold blast at the end of your shower to start to build your tolerance and develop an understanding of your own relationship with the cold.
Accumulation Protocol
Those who have taken a few cold plunge sessions here and there for recovery may want to adopt the cold plunge protocol of accumulation. That is, accumulating a certain amount of time, say 10 minutes, in the cold plunge spread out over a number of 2-3 minute rounds in the water.
This cold plunge protocol could even be contrasted with some heat therapy from a sauna or hot tub in between with equal or greater time. Our favourite temp and timing for the ‘accumulation protocol’ is 3 minutes in the cold at 10 degrees followed by 5 minutes in the infrared sauna, repeated for 4 rounds through.
This gives you a total of 12 minutes accumulated in the cold plunge and 20 minutes accumulated in the sauna. For this protocol we recommend finishing on the cold and letting your body reheat naturally to get the optimal benefits for metabolic enhancement.
Wim Hof Protocol
Wim Hof has definitely popularised the combination of breathwork meditation, cold plunge and movement. Put simply, this protocol involves taking approximately 30 quick breaths, then exhaling and keeping your lungs empty as long as possible.
When you feel an intense urge for air, take in a quick breath and hold it for 10 to 15 seconds. Repeat this cycle three or four times. In between rounds you can add in movement in the form of pushup or squats while really trying to extend the exhale to 45 seconds plus.
Following this, immerse yourself in the cold plunge pool for a dedicated amount of time, say 5-10 minutes at a temperature of between 5-10 degrees focussing on quiet and slow breaths with a long exhale.
Cold Plunge Space
Is the Cold Plunge going to fit in your space? The best part about the Cold Plunge is that is an all weather ice bath and can be setup indoors or outdoors. This gives more options for space requirements if you don’t have enough dedicated space inside your house to install the Cold Plunge, you can easily set it up on a deck or patio that has access to a wall plug to run the chiller unit.
We recommend properly measuring your preferred space and comparing it to the measurements outlined in the product specifications of the ice bath. Also, try to choose a space that is reinforced and can withstand a lot of weight as the tub is super heavy when filled with water. The Plunge weighs 150 lbs. empty and 1,000 lbs. full of water. If you're placing it on a deck or balcony, make sure it can support the weight.
Cold Plunge Warranty
As we mentioned earlier on in our Cold Plunge Review, the warranty offered as standard is 12 months. For those who would like a little more protection with such a big purchase, this is completely understandable, and they offer options for extended warranties of 3 or 5 years at an additional cost.
The 3 year warranty comes and cost of $295 and the 5 year warranty or protection plan comes at an additional cost of $589 and both of these options cover your Cold Plunge for mechanical and electrical breakdown and repairs at no extra cost.
These additional cost protection plans seem a little rich for such a high value item and you would almost expect at least a 3 year warranty included, however they do break down into quite a fair price. The 3 year protection plan can be broken down to cost about $100 per year or $0.27 cents per day. This is dirt cheap for an added safety blanket on your prized cold plunge machine - another no-brainer.
Cold Plunge Alternatives
There are loads of Cold Plunge alternatives like the Ice Barrel, Blue Cube, PlusLife and more, but this ice bath really is a stand alone product in the ice bath tub or cold plunge pool market.
In our article, Best Ice Bath Tubs in 2024 we include a number of the best cold plunge tubs for a variety of different budget, portability, size and design requirements. Below is a brief outline of some of the Cold Plunge alternatives worth dropping your money on for ice baths at home or to take away.
The Ice Barrel - Much cheaper than the Cold Plunge but somewhat of a ‘dumb’ ice bath meaning it is simply a large plastic barrel that you fill with ice and water. This is still a great product that we love, but the Cold Plunge has it’s own built in chiller, filtration and lighting with cold plunge on demand and whatever temperature you desire that makes it a premium experience to the Ice Barrel. The Ice Barrel requires regular water changes and cleaning to keep it ready to use for cold plunge and has added cost of buying ice for each use.
PlusLife Ice Bath - The PlusLife Ice Bath certainly rivals the Plunge very closely and is a fantastic option for Australian plungers looking to buy a good, solid, self cooling ice bath without having to pay huge shipping costs for transport from the US to Australia. The PlusLife cold plunge actually gets to a colder temperature than the Cold Plunge at 2.5 degrees celsius and has a super sleek Acrylic design that is suitable for indoor and outdoor use like the Cold Plunge.
Easy Plunge Ice Bath - Many people start with a cost effective, portable and inflatable ice bath tub like our very own cold plunge tub. We created this ice bath as a cheap and transportable option for cold plunge both at home and for taking away to sporting events and games for teams to recovery post activity. It takes about 200L of water and requires about 4-6 bags of ice to get it to a cool 9-10 degrees which is where we love our cold plunge at. Much cheaper to buy than the premium ice bath tubs, but comes at a added cost each use with ice and water.
Blue Cube Ice Bath - The Blue Cube is a super high priced ice bath tub that features some beautiful timber trimmings and is best for someone looking to create a luxury feel recovery space in their home, gym or wellness space. You won’t get much change from $15,000 from one of these, so unless you are very sure about your commitment to cold plunge you may find it more logical to start with something for less than half the price that does the same job like the Cold Plunge.
Cold Plunge vs. Cold Shower
Is a cold shower as good as an ice bath? If you are new to using cold water immersion as a therapy for recovery from exercise or training the mind with the discomfort of cold, then a cold shower is a fantastic place to begin. Not surprisingly, this is where most people start the cold plunge journey.
The good news is, if you’re not living in a tropical area where your tap water sits at a warm temperature, a cold shower will offer some benefit of cold plunge. As a rough guide, if it doesn’t take your breath away just a little bit, it’s not cold enough. If you are looking for the real deal and to get all of the potential out of ice baths, then look to progress your practice into proper icy water from.
A cold shower is a cheap way to start your cold plunge practice too, it costs nothing and also gives you the chance to cycle through hot and cold quite easily for some contrast therapy. Spending 2 minutes under a cold shower every morning for a month is a good chance to wake you up very quickly for one, and to build some tolerance before you move onto a proper ice bath.
After our experience with Wim Hof breathing and attending an ice bath workshop in Sydney, Australia this is when we felt the real potential of using an ice bath like The Plunge for cold therapy. You are floating on a whole new world after the mix of breathing, cold and movement.
Overall, cold showers are a starting point for an absolute beginner, but the Cold Plunge compared to cold showers is a whole different experience and benefits. Cold showers will give you about 59F (15C) of temperature wheras the Cold plunge can get you down to 39F (3.8C) which is where the real gains are at for cold plunge benefits.
Cold Plunge FAQ’s
Is the Cold Plunge worth it?
The Cold Plunge is a large financial commitment and really boils down to the amount of times you will use The Plunge each day or week to determine if it is worth it. Generally, for something you are spending over $5000 for, you would want to be using it 3-4 times per week to make it worth the price. The Cold Plunge is well worth it for being able to access ice cold water and get that post ice bath high without going to a huge effort to fill a tub with a hose, buy the extra ice and wait for it to chill.
If you are someone who loves to cold plunge and find yourself visiting a gym or wellness space a few times a week for recovery or you are someone who actually owns a gym and looking to add a commercial ice bath then the Cold Plunge is 100% worth it. However, if you’re just starting out with ice baths or aren’t sure how often you will cold plunge or if you will even enjoy it, it might be better to go with a less expensive option first like a portable inflatable ice bath before moving onto the Cold Plunge.
How cold does the Cold Plunge get?
The Cold Plunge can drop down to a super chilly 39F or 3.8 degrees C and chills down the water to the minimum temperature after filling over the course of about 4 hours. From there, it is important to keep the insulated cover over the Cold Plunge to maximise the energy efficiency of the Plunge and keep the temperature low without much work from the chiller unit.
Is a Cold Plunge better than a Cold Shower?
Short answer: yes. For the most benefits out of cold water therapy as possible, it is best to build up to a temperature like the Cold Plunge can give you with its built in chiller unit. A cold shower is a great place to start for newbies, and the Cold Plunge or an ice bath chilled with ice bags is a good place to work towards. Cold plunge vs cold shower has a clear winner - The Cold Plunge.
While it depends on where you live, most cold showers from the standard household shower only get down to about 15 degrees C or 55 degrees F and do not cover the whole body with cold water like you can achieve in an ice bath full of water. With the ability to get down to 39F (3.8C) and cover the whole body up to the neck, the benefits of cold plunge will be achieved much easier and faster in The Plunge compared to a cold shower.
How much is a Cold Plunge?
For the cheapest model Cold Plunge you are looking at $4990, which includes free shipping within the US.
The commercial variants of the Cold Plunge are a little more expensive but also offer larger sixes as well as both hot and cold settings so the Cold Plunge can be transformed into a hot spa in a matter of hours. The Cold Plunge Pro XL costs $6,990 while the Hot and Cold Plunge Pro XL costs an icy $7,490. Cold Plunge can also be bought on 0% finance using Klarna or Affirm if the Cold Plunge price is a little to boisterous to cough the whole amount upfront.
How long should you stay in the cold plunge ice bath for?
Cold water therapy is definitely not an exact science, or not yet anyway. The ideal amount of time to spend in an ice bath is dependent on your tolerance and the temperature of the cold plunge.
Most experts recommend spending at least 2 minutes in an ice bath to get any sort of benefit from cold water immersion. When we plunge, we usually try to get our cold plunge tub down to about 45F (7 degree celsius), give or take 2 or 3 degrees and accumulate about 10 minutes worth of time spent in the ice bath.
It is definitely recommended to individualise the amount of time in an ice bath and temperature used, and don’t be embarrassed to start with cold tap water first for say, 2 minute intervals and work yourself up to colder temperatures and more time in the cold. Be aware of your own body temperature and know that it is possible to get hypothermia from cold plunge if you don’t do it mindfully. Know your limits!
Is hot or cold better for recovery?
When conducting exercise recovery, it is important to know what you are recovering from, your recovery time frame and when you are next needing to be performance ready. Heated therapy like sauna and sauna blankets compared to cold therapy like ice baths and cryotherapy for recovery produces different physiological responses, although both can be good. We’ve compared sauna vs cold plunge in other articles and whether to use sauna or ice bath for recovery is definitely not black and white.
As a general rule of thumb, we tend to utilise cold plunge more around endurance based exercise, races, games and recovering from cardio style workouts but avoid ice baths around strength training as it can produce negative results and prolong recovery instead. Heated therapy we use more around both endurance and strength training, Crossfit workouts and olympic lifting days as the science suggests that heat therapy can be beneficial for improving restoration of muscle function, restricting muscle atrophy and decreasing soreness and swelling.
Although there is no clear science behind contrast therapy at this stage, we have also experienced some very beneficial results from combining the ice bath with sauna using 3-5 minutes of cold plunge with 5-10 minutes of sauna and notice marked improvements in sleep, reduced muscle fatigue and soreness, increased state of wellbeing and greater mental clarity.
Is cold plunge safe?
Exposing the body to any extreme temperature, whether it be from the cold of an ice bath or the heat of an infrared sauna, it can be dangerous if done in excess and if pushed too far. Certainly, if you are new to cold water exposure for recovery, we recommend making sure you are fit to do so by consulting a medical practitioner and always know your limits.
When doing an ice bath at home, we try to only do so with a partner and don’t push it to the level of hypothermia (extreme low core body temperature) that is characterised by uncontrollable shivering, fumbling hands, loss of dexterity, unsteady gait, slurred speech, confusion and drowsiness.
Final Word on Cold Plunge
In doing our Cold Plunge Review, we recognise that not a whole lot of people can afford to spend thousands of dollars on a cold plunge tub. It can be daunting for some to spend so much on an ice bath and we would only consider doing so noting we are avid ice bathers and include cold plunge in our recovery practice at least 3-4 times a week making it a worthwhile investment.
The purpose of this Cold Plunge review was to give you some clarity with the Cold Plunge specs, what you get when you buy a Plunge Cold Plunge and if it is right for you. At the end of the day, the Cold Plunge is an investment in your recovery that is going to last you a lifetime being an Acrylic bathtub. If you are setting up a recovery gym or wellness centre, the Cold Plunge is the ideal commercial choice especially considering it can be bought in the XL or Hot/Cold version of the Plunge for versatility.
As with all of our ice bath reviews, we recommend reading into as many of the Cold Plunge product reviews as you can to see if there are any common issues that might make it a deal breaker for you or some common positive appraisals of the ice bath that might encourage you to lock it in. Consider some of the Cold Plunge alternatives if the Plunge price just isn’t for you. If you do take the leap and buy a Cold Plunge for yourself, prepare yourself for how cold this baby gets and we trust that you will enjoy it. A positive of spending a large amount of money on these things is that we always find that when we financially commit to something we always end up using it a whole lot more to make the most of it!
