Thinking about home?
Unlimited here is about $200 a month, or about $2,400 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.
