Chill Out, Literally
Looking for a way to relax? Meet SweatHouz (SWTHZ), the ultimate hot-and-cold reset. SWTHZ is a private cold plunge and sauna studio located in the heart of Northern Liberties, with additional locations nearby, including Marlton, coming soon.
If you are into fitness, you already know that recovery is just as important as the workout itself. SWTHZ combines hot and cold techniques to help you feel better and perform at your best. You put in the work, now it’s time to relax.
My 60-minute session included a 170°F infrared sauna with red light therapy, a vitamin C shower & 48-55°F cold plunge. The idea is to rotate between each for up to an hour. Starting with 10-20 minutes in the sauna, rinsing off in the vitamin C-infused shower to cool down, then 2-3 minutes in the cold plunge.
The private suite also allows you to customize the lighting and entertainment. Towels, water and small amenities are also provided. I definitely recommend keeping the lights dim and the music soft so you can truly disconnect and make the most of the experience.
As a big fan of red light therapy, the sauna was easily my favorite part. The cold plunge, however, was a first for me and although the first few seconds of entering the freezing water were the hardest, the refreshing feeling afterwards made it all worth it.
Give yourself an hour of SWTHZ and indulge in the simple pleasure of slowing down and unwinding. Your body needs it.
