Start the 3-step sign-up → Questions people ask us What are the membership terms?All memberships have a 3-month minimum term and require 1 month's written notice to cancel. Payments come out on the 10th of each month via GoCardless. After the minimum term, your membership continues monthly until you give written notice. How do session packs work?Buy a concession token pack — credits load to your account automatically. When you book, select "Use credit" at checkout and one credit deducts. Use a 5-pack within 3 months, 10-pack within 6 months. When can I use my sessions?Any session — Sunrise, Lunch Plunge, Golden Hour, Social Sauna — plus the two member-only sessions each week. Book online; members' bookings open 72 hours ahead of the public. Sessions are capped, so book early for Golden Hour and the weekend. Do my plunges count toward Cold Ones?Yes. Every plunge in a booked session gets a tick on the wall. Twenty gets the cap. Can I change my membership tier?Yes. Change your tier at any time — the new rate applies from your next billing cycle. No penalty. Can I pause my membership?Memberships can be paused for up to 2 weeks per calendar year with 7 days' notice. Billing pauses during this time and your end date extends accordingly. Do I need a towel?A towel is required in the sauna. Members can hire one for $5 per session, or bring your own. We recommend two — one for the sauna, one to dry off after. Can I share my membership with someone else?Memberships are personal and non-transferable. But bring a friend for $20 — and if they love it, they can join. Not sure yet? Drop in for $35 first. No commitment. Book a Golden Hour, turn up, see how you feel. Most people come back. Book a drop-in session → Celebrating something?
