At Heim Regenerative Medicine Center, our state-of-the-art saunas take these benefits to new heights. Built from Western Red Cedar, our barrel saunas are visually stunning and provide a naturally calming environment.

How Does the Fresh Start System Work?

The EMRJ Fresh Start system revolutionizes traditional cold plunge therapy. Here’s how:

Rapid Replenishment

Each pod is emptied and refilled with fresh, clean, temperature-ready water in under eight minutes. This ensures a pristine experience every time.

Oxygen Infusion

The water is continuously oxygenated with advanced GO2 technology, delivering over 100% more oxygen than standard tap water.

Nanobubble and Microbubble Technology

These ultra-fine bubbles penetrate the skin’s surface, promoting deep healing and hydration.

Dual Purification

The water undergoes industrial-strength filtration and ozone sanitization to eliminate impurities and bacteria.

The Science Behind Cold Plunge Therapy

Cold plunge therapy triggers a range of physiological responses that promote healing and recovery. Here’s how it works:

Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation

The cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing inflammation and swelling. When you exit the plunge, the vessels dilate, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery.

Endorphin Release

Exposure to cold stimulates the release of endorphins, improving mood and reducing stress. Studies show a 200% increase in the mood boosting neurotransmitter dopamine after cold exposure.

Enhanced Recovery

The therapy accelerates muscle recovery by flushing out metabolic waste and reducing soreness.

Immune System Boost

Regular cold exposure has been shown to enhance the production of white blood cells, bolstering your body’s defenses.

With crystal-clear, oxygen-infused water, these benefits are amplified, creating an ideal environment for healing and rejuvenation.

The Power of Oxygenated Water

Our cold plunge therapy isn’t just about the temperature; it’s about the water itself. With GO2 Advanced Oxygenated Water technology, every session delivers unparalleled hydration and healing benefits:

Kills Bacteria

The oxygen-rich water provides a sterile environment.

Promotes Skin Cell Growth

Microbubbles and nanobubbles stimulate the skin, encouraging collagen production and rejuvenation.

Energizes Cells

Oxygen penetrates deep into tissues, energizing cells for optimal performance.

Stimulates the Immune System

Enhanced oxygen levels support immune function and overall vitality.

This unique approach combines the benefits of cryotherapy with those of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, all while ensuring crystal-clear clean water every session.

Common Questions About Cold Plunge Therapy

What Should I Wear During the Therapy?

We suggest wearing a swimsuit or snug athletic wear—something you're comfortable moving in and that exposes as much skin as possible for full benefit. The more direct contact your skin has with the chilled water, the more effective the plunge will be. Avoid baggy or loose clothing, as it may trap water and reduce the therapy’s cooling efficiency. If you’re unsure, just ask our team when you arrive—we’re always happy to guide you through it.

How Often Should I Do Cold Plunge Therapy?

This really depends on your goals and how your body responds. For general wellness, 2 to 3 sessions per week are ideal to see consistent benefits like reduced inflammation, better mood, and stronger immunity. If you're an athlete or working on faster muscle recovery, you might benefit from more frequent sessions. With our knowledgeable Frost and Fire sauna and cold plunge leaders, we can help tailor a schedule that fits your lifestyle and your body’s needs.

Can I Eat Before a Cold Plunge Session?

It’s perfectly fine to eat before your session, but we recommend keeping it light. A snack or small meal about an hour before you arrive is a great balance—enough fuel without making you feel sluggish or uncomfortable in the cold water. Avoid heavy or greasy meals before plunging, as they may make you feel nauseous during your session. If you’re not sure what to eat, our team can share some helpful tips.

What Should I Do After the Session?

After your cold plunge, we encourage you to let your body warm up naturally. Our outdoor space is designed for exactly that. You can stretch, take a walk, or enjoy the warm sun in our outdoor space. Avoid hot showers immediately after, as the contrast can be a bit too intense. Instead, let the body adapt and cool down naturally—you’ll feel the benefits longer that way.

How Long Should I Stay in the Cold Plunge?

We’ll help you determine the right duration for your body and your experience level. If it’s your first time, you’ll probably start with 1 to 2 minutes. As your tolerance builds, you can work your way up to 3 - 5 minutes depending on the temperature of the water. Water temperature matters too—our state-of-the-art tubs use the EMRJ Fresh Start system to keep water cold, clean, and oxygen-rich. Generally, the colder the water, the shorter your stay needs to be to get the full benefit. You’ll never be left guessing—our team will guide you every step of the way.

Can Cold Plunge Therapy Help with Sleep?

Yes—many of our clients in Tampa have told us they sleep better after a session. Cold exposure triggers the release of endorphins and helps lower cortisol levels, both of which contribute to deeper, more restful sleep. It can also regulate your internal body temperature, which supports your natural circadian rhythm. Finally, cold exposure helps to down regulate your nervous system and improve your HRV (heart rate variability) which can also improve sleep quality. If you struggle with falling or staying asleep, cold plunge therapy could be a game-changer.

Is Cold Plunge Therapy Safe for Beginners?

Absolutely. We make sure every new guest is fully informed and comfortable before stepping into the plunge. If it’s your first time, we’ll start slow, walk you through the process, and stay nearby in case you have any concerns. Our Tampa team is experienced and supportive, and our equipment is top-of-the-line. You’re never left alone to figure it out—we’ll be with you the whole way.

What Makes Your Cold Plunge Experience Different?

At Heim Regenerative Medicine Center, we’ve invested in the best technology to make every plunge safe, effective, and enjoyable. Our Fresh Start system uses microbubbles and nanobubbles for enhanced hydration and healing. The oxygenated water energizes your cells while remaining crystal-clear and sanitized. Combine that with our beautiful tubs, our beautiful outdoor space, and supportive staff—and you’ve got an experience you won’t find anywhere else in Tampa.

Who Should Avoid Cold Plunge Therapy?

While cold plunge therapy is safe for most people, there are a few situations where we might recommend checking with your doctor first. If you have cardiovascular issues, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or any condition that affects your circulation or nervous system, it’s best to talk to a healthcare provider before trying it. We’ll always do a quick check-in and make sure you’re good to go before your session, but safety is always our top priority.
