Recover · Contrast Therapy

Contrast therapy in Boulder — hot, cold, repeat, all included.

Contrast therapy means alternating heat and cool — and at ONE Boulder Fitness the sauna and the Cool Tub sit side by side, so it’s a five-minute habit instead of a logistics project. Warm through, sit in the Cool Tub at room temperature, repeat two to three rounds, finish cool. All included with membership, downtown on Broadway.

A simple protocol

One routine, three rounds.

01

Warm through

10–15 minutes in the sauna or steam room until properly warm.

02

Cool Tub

1–3 minutes in the Cool Tub at room temperature. Breathe slow.

03

Repeat & finish cold

Two to three rounds; finishing cold leaves you alert and clear-headed.

Because the sauna, steam room and the Cool Tub are one suite ten steps from the floor, contrast therapy is something you’ll actually do — not a plan you mean to get to.
