20 studios across the Chicago area
What to expect: You’ll alternate between hot (infrared sauna at 130–150°F) and cold (cold plunge at 39–50°F) in timed intervals — typically 3–5 rounds of 3 minutes hot, 1–2 minutes cold. The contrast triggers a cardiovascular flush that accelerates recovery and leaves you feeling electric. Sessions take 30–45 minutes total. Available at studios that offer both sauna and cold plunge — look for the “multi-modality” studios in our directory.
