## Overview

Contrast Hot + Cold is a dedicated River West studio at 738 N Milwaukee Ave built only for heat and cold. Book the social community room when you want a communal pace, or a private suite with its own shower when you want a locked door. Infrared heat runs around 150F; plunges typically land in the 45 to 55F range and can go colder. Communal singles publish around $39 and private suites around $59, with membership ladders from about $99/mo (communal 4x) to $239/mo (private unlimited). The vibe skews athlete and run-club. Appointments are recommended. Published hours are 7am to 12pm and 3pm to 8pm Monday through Friday, and 9am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday; confirm live windows on the studio site before you go.
