Cold water therapy helps your muscles bounce back more quickly by easing inflammation and flushing out waste. It's ideal for athletes and anyone into fitness, as it helps reduce soreness and speeds up recovery.
-
A dip in cold water narrows your blood vessels, which cuts down swelling and inflammation. This can ease pain and discomfort, helping you heal faster after a tough workout or intense physical activity.
-
Cold water immersion triggers the release of endorphins, which reduces stress and anxiety while giving your mood a lift. You'll feel more awake and focused, with a clearer mind and a brighter outlook.
-
Cold water therapy helps regulate your body temperature and balance your nervous system, leading to deeper, more restful sleep. Say goodbye to tossing and turning, and wake up feeling refreshed.
-
A cold plunge wakes up your body, giving you a surge of energy. It’s a great way to start your day, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes your way.

Cold water immersion can lead to long-lasting benefits for your immune system, lymphatic system, and circulation by increasing the number of white blood cells in your body.

FAQs
-
The Recovery MAX™ has been built on the success of our original Recovery Pod™, but bigger and better!
The Recovery MAX™ is 100mm wider, and now incorporates 5x thermal insulated TPE layers, which works even better at keeping your water at the right temperature for longer.
We also include the UFO Thermo lid, the All Weather Cover and Rolltop Drybag as standard!
-
Yes, it does!
The Recovery Pod MAX includes both the Thermo lid and Rain Cover, all as a complete package.
-
Yes, its fine to add Epsom Salt to your ice bath, there are some really good reasons why you would want to!
Espom salts are safe to use, and may have health benefits by supplementing your magnesium levels, but chloride salts (e.g., table salt, road salt) are not safe to use.
-
Always keep the lid on when not in use, to help prevent any debris falling in!
We recommend changing the water once per week without any additives.
When you drain the water from your Pod, to extend the life of your next fill, we recommend washing the inside surfaces with warm soapy water.
-
Yes you can!
If you'd like the water to last longer, using Bromine tablets or powder should extend the usable time up to 1 month.
Bromine is more skin-friendly and lasts longer than Chlorine in cold water and you'll need very little to be effective.
-
We've designed our bath to fit all sizes up to 2.1m tall (6' 7"), whilst minimising water and cooling requirements.
-
Super easy! Simply use a hose-pipe, a bucket or container, and add room temperature water. Once filled to approximately 70% full, you'll be ready for your first dip!
Later, we recommend adding ice or ice packs to reduce the temperature further. Our Pods are insulated top, bottom and sides, so will maintain the water temperature for longer than you'd expect!
-
Our Recovery Pod MAX is integrated with 5x thermal insulated TPE layers, a Thermo Lid, and Rain Cover to lengthen the time at a given temperature.
We recommend deploying your Pod MAX outside, under shade, to maximise the passive overnight cooling effect, and then adding ice or ice blocks as needed.
-
The Pod packs down into a small box, with an included carry handle.
-
ALWAYS consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health issues!
DO NOT USE if you are: - pregnant, have heart disease or high blood pressure, have diabetes, complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, you wear a pacemaker, history of frostbite, have an open wound, had recent surgery, epilepsy or any other health concerns or risks.
Using an ice bath can dramatically decrease your body core temperature. The immersion in cold water constricts blood vessels and slows the flow of blood around the body, which combined with health complications, can cause your blood pressure to rise and give you a higher chance of cardiac arrest or stroke.
Side effects
The most noticeable side effect of an ice bath is feeling intense cold, but other side effects of staying in an ice bath for too long are: - hypothermia, frostbite, tachycardia (fast heart beat), arrhythmias (abnormal heart beat), and anaphylactic shock.
Our recommendation
Despite the potential side effects and warnings, using an ice bath correctly actually has many health benefits! We will always recommend you begin by spending no more than a few minutes in the ice bath, and slowly working you way up to the recommended time, never push your body beyond its limits.
