Is The Ocean Lab a bathhouse or a recovery lab?

Recovery lab near UT / Harmon Ave. Choose Ceremony Spa on South Lamar if you want a social bathhouse floor, or cøntrast if you want East Austin communal outdoor contrast.

Thinking about home?

Unlimited here is about $199 a month, or about $2,388 a year. A hard-shell plunge with a chiller runs about $4,990 to $7,990, so daily use pays it back in roughly 2.1 to 3.3 years. Plunge less than a few times a week and the membership usually wins. Compare home cold plunges or home saunas. See national payback math, or start with Plunge vs Ice Barrel and home sauna vs cold plunge.
