It turns chill to thrill.
Despite cold plunging and at-home contrast therapy having a moment, I’m not a cold-plunge person. I tried two years ago to really get into it when I tested the Ice Barrel, which, I admit, did help soothe my achy joints in the few weeks I tested it. But if I’m being honest, I never really liked doing the act of cold plunging itself. Did I feel great after? Yeah. But did I feel like a miserable popsicle on the verge of hypothermia during my dip? Yep, sure did. Sorry, Wim Hof.
So when I was offered the opportunity to test Hydragun’s fancy-schmancy new Superplunge Plunge Tub ($2,999), I didn’t exactly jump at the chance. After a season of skiing, my knees were hurting me again and I knew the reported benefits—improved immunity, reduced cortisol levels, less inflammation—were probably worth the pain. But the thought of climbing into icy cold water to shiver for the sake of a story was less than appealing. Still, I accepted the challenge and am proud to report that I, a self-proclaimed non-cold-plunge person am now a cold-plunge evangelist. For that, I have Hydragyun to thank.
About the Hydragun Superplunge
The Supertub offers a luxurious and rejuvenating experience right in the comfort of your home. The tub itself utilizes a sturdy yet lightweight inflatable design that makes assembly and plunging easy. Its chilliness is powered by an advanced Permafrost(image) chiller that maintains the perfect temperature (between 37°F and 108°F, depending on your preference) and circulates the water, so you’re always ready to plunge into a revitalizing oasis whenever you need it.
