The freedom to easily plunge as much of your body as you desire, even to the point of complete immersion, is a distinctive feature that’s surprisingly overlooked until you actually try different types of cold plunges for yourself.

One thing to note is that you won’t need to fill it up all the way with water as you’ll displace a lot of it due to your body’s volume when submerged, and you’ll end up losing all that precious ice you put in to help cool the water down. The cold plunge experience If you’re looking to invest in a cold plunge, look no further,” says one customer. “This was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made all year. As someone who is very physically active — yoga, weight training, running — having this at home is true therapy.” This cold plunge’s barrel shape makes it ideal for smaller spaces, but that’s where the similarities to the cold plunges of old end. The Viking comes with all the luxuries of a more elaborate system, like an integrated chiller, multi-stage sanitization, and filtration systems, so your water stays clean and cold. The sloped floor design makes cleaning and draining the Viking easy, though we should mention that there is no ledge to sit on inside of the cold plunge. This is pretty pricey, so if you don’t plan on moving it often, you might be better off buying a non-inflatable product.For me, the Ice Barrel experience continues to be transformative, bringing both physical benefits and valuable mental resilience. It’s a practice I’ll continue, exploring further the icy depths of this intriguing wellness practice.
