Where are you located?

Is there parking? 

Soul plunge has a small parking lot for customers only. There is also street parking along Girard and in the surrounding neighborhoods.  

What do I wear? 

For the cold plunge, you can wear whatever you feel most comfortable in! Some ideas are a bathing suit, sports bra & shorts or athletic wear. We also recommend bringing dry clothes to change into after your plunge. For yoga, we recommend clothes that you are okay sweating in. For breathwork, wear comfortable clothes & layers. Breathwork can cause fluctuations in body temperature. 

I’m nervous, can you help? 

Absolutely, we got you! Let a staff member know that you’d like some support in the cold plunge & we will guide you through the entire experience. We also recommend attending our “Signature Soul Plunge” class for the full guided experience of breathwork, cold plunge & sauna. 

Tell me about the cold plunges

We set our cold plunges to 47 degrees. We find this temperate to be the best balance for first timers as well as experienced plungers. Our cold plunges have built in filtration and sanitization, they work just like hot tubs...but cold! You are required to rinse off in our shower before entering the plunge to remove any sweat, lotion, deodorant, etc from your body. Soul plunge is not responsible for any damage to clothes or jewelry so please be mindful of your belongings. No food or glass is allowed in the plunge area.

Tell me about the sauna

This isn’t your average infrared sauna. Unlike many infrared saunas, this gets up to 165 degrees! A guaranteed sweat. Infrared wavelengths penetrate the skin, targeting deep tissues and water molecules to stimulate cellular function and enhance blood flow.

Our sauna is uniquely customized with:
  • 85 Himalayan Salt Panels: Purify the air and create a therapeutic environment.
  • Wall-to-Wall Carbon Rods: When heated, emit mid-infrared wavelengths that penetrate deeply to support cellular repair.
  • 420 Jade Stones: Traditionally used in Eastern medicine for organ detoxification.
  • 7 Chromolight Therapy Settings: Red light is the most common, though each color has its benefits. These different nanometer wavelengths support various aspects of physical and mental health.

Please note: We require you to sit on a towel while using the sauna to help keep the space clean. You can bring your own, rent a towel ($3) or buy one of our awesome merch towels in the lobby. 

Contraindications for Cold Plunging & Sauna

Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. We do not recommend contrast therapy for individuals with cardiovascular conditions (including heart disease or high blood pressure), those who are pregnant, have a history of respiratory issues, suffer from Raynaud’s disease or other circulatory disorders, are experiencing any type of infection or illness, or have open wounds or skin conditions. Please consult with your healthcare provider before engaging in contrast therapy, especially if you have any medical conditions or concerns. 

Are pets allowed? 

Dogs are the best. However, it would be pretty wild if we let everyone bring their pets. For the safety of all beings & the sanitization of the studio, please keep your furry friends at home. Service animals are welcome. If you miss your dog too much while you’re here, you may be lucky enough to pet Nala, our owner's Psychiatric Support Dog who sometimes hangs out at the studio.
