Before your first visit
Do I need to do jiu-jitsu?
No. The Retreat is open to anyone with a recovery pass or membership. Buying a pass makes you a member. If you do train with us, the BJJ member add-on is the better deal.
Do I need to book?
No. There are no appointments. Once you've joined and signed the waiver, walk in whenever the Vault is open.
What should I bring?
A swimsuit or shorts, flip-flops and water. Towels are on us.
Is there a time limit?
No set time limits. Most people last a few minutes in the plunge, and that's plenty.
Which cold plunges do you have?
Three, at three temperatures, so you can pick your cold. Beginner: a BlueCube Elite at 55°F. Intermediate: a BlueCube at 40°F. Experienced: a Morozko Forge at 34°F. Both BlueCube plunges have river mode, which keeps the water flowing. First time? Start with the 55°F plunge and work down when you're ready.
Do I need a waiver?
Yes. Everyone signs the recovery waiver once, before their first visit.
