About saunas with ice bath
An ice bath is cold water chilled to roughly 0–5°C. It is the most intense form of cold exposure you will find at saunas and recovery studios, and immersions are kept short, usually 30 seconds to two minutes.
Ice baths are popular with athletes and contrast-therapy regulars. Enter slowly, keep your breathing slow and controlled, never hold your breath, and get out if you feel numb or light-headed. People with heart conditions should seek medical advice first.
SaunaFindr currently lists 49 venues under ice bath, with starting prices from $20.

How long should you stay in an ice bath?
