Portable Ice Baths

Are Portable Ice Baths Worth Buying?

Ice baths have had a wave of popularity in the past decade. The benefits of sitting 3 to 8 minutes within freezing waters are more widely known, and access to portable ice baths is also easier, thanks to online stores.

Why Portable Ice Baths Aren’t Great

As with any imitation of a true experience, portable ice baths are often a quick solution to experiencing cold therapy, leaving most people dissatisfied in the long run.

This is mostly because filling the portable ice bath for every use becomes a costly endeavour. Think about it. First, you need to drive to the service station. Then, you’ll need at least two big bags of 5kg ice. That’s around $10 or more for each use of your portable ice bath. Factor in that two to three uses of ice baths per week is an ideal aim for those looking to recover from frequent exercise, and all of a sudden, the cheap at home experience, ain’t so cheap.

As well, consider these two factors before adding to the portable ice bath to your online cart:

The majority of portable ice baths are created from polyester, nylon and PVC plastics.

You likely can’t store this portable ice bath within your house, as it demands its own space away from electronics and other indoor hazards.

As such, these portable ice baths will likely live outside, and the flimsy materials they’re built with will be exposed to the sun. This will not only degrade the material over time, but the portable ice bath will also be a haven for odours and bacteria.

What Sets Us Apart?

Our cutting-edge wellness centre proudly boasts premium built, brick and tile ice baths, meticulously managed to maintain temperatures between 4 to 10 degrees Celsius. Unlike conventional ice baths or the flimsy portable ice baths you’ll find online, our facilities provide a luxurious and comfortable setting to embark on your wellness journey.

The Benefits of Quality-Built Ice Baths

Ice baths at XtraClubs are sturdy, built from bricks and tiles. Unlike portable ice baths, our baths are clinically cleaned by our sanitisation team every day to ensure an experience where instead of testing your immunity, instead you’re building it via the natural benefits of cold plunges.

Perhaps the most significant difference you’ll notice between XtraClubs ice baths and portable ice baths however, is the regulated temperature! We know that a consistent temperature between 4 to 10 degrees is incredibly important to our members, and why so many have sworn away from using portable ice baths again.

Within the walls of XtraClubs, you will also be aided and monitored by our friendly staff. This is so that in the event of an emergency, our team is able to assist your exit from the ice bath. Your use of a portable ice bath at home will likely be unattended, which can be a dangerous experience if you’re a novice to low-temperature recovery.

Ease Yourself into a Routine, Not Store Bought Ice

Wellness is described by the National Wellness Institute, a respected agency promoting well-being across all cultures, as “an active process”. We’ve taken great pride in adopting this notion at XtraClubs, as it is the belief that persons must invest in themselves frequently and to the best of their ability, in order to earn positive results.

With these rewards being wellness in both body and mind, people should also take comfort in knowing that there are no barriers to wellness, under the notion that it’s an active process. Meaning, every person can set goals towards becoming the best version of themselves.

Why are we mentioning this now? Well, setting benchmarks in order to reach a goal, naturally creates a routine. Within XtraClubs, you will find routines to be a joy, thanks to the uplifting environment we promote. You will benefit from our community who like you, share the goal of wellness and are using ice baths to help achieve that. You have the opportunity, unlike sitting at home in a portable ice bath with store-bought ice, to connect with others and share your achievements. East step along the way of this active process, will be a reflection of your strengthened discipline and commitment to becoming the best version of yourself.

Not to mention, you don’t just have access to ice at XtraClubs, but there’s sauna and steam too! These facilities will combine to further benefit your approach to wellness and enjoyment of the active process. Get a comprehensive introduction to sauna, by reading the different health benefits between using traditional and infrared saunas.

Ditch the Flimsy Portable Ice Bath and Trial a Premium Cold Plunge Experience at Our Inaugural Location

It’s official, in 2024 XtraClubs’ first location will be in Bondi Junction, at Oxford St Mall! We’re so excited to be bringing a sauna, steam and ice culture that is accessible to every person in Sydney. At this location, there will be 8 ice baths adjusted at temperatures between 4 to 10 degrees, giving you the chance to compare the difference between a premium cold plunge to using flimsy portable ice baths.

This is one the better opportunities to access affordable ice bath therapy in Sydney, as our Starter Package at $27.95/week is more than half the typical cost of other wellness centres (plus, way cheaper than a portable ice bath). You will also be invited to use the XtraClubs app to track the progress of your wellness goals in real time.

Additionally, this app will feature advice from our team of wellness experts, sharing their years of experience through video and written tips on how you can maximise your time inside and away from XtraClubs. There will soon be wellness workshops focused on ice/cold water therapy and using the ice baths within XtraClubs.

A Variety of Health Benefits at Great Value

You have read about the health benefits that traditional and infrared saunas can provide you. Now, it’s about actually stepping into these saunas and starting or improving your path to true wellness.

Where you will do that, is within XtraClubs. As mentioned, we’re new to Sydney, and we’re affordable. $27.95 a week, affordable. That’s right, we’re not just exclusive to those with deep pockets or with a promising athletic career. We cater our equipment, staff support, locations and free coaching and workshops available on the XtraClubs app to everyone who wants to feel like the best version of themselves.

XtraClubs’ traditional and infrared saunas will be tremendously helpful towards your achievement of this goal, but consider that there are also steam rooms and ice baths across each of our centres! Combined services like these at other Sydney physical and wellness centres will likely cost you more than double XtraClubs’ $23.95 a week package!

The Home of Ice Baths and More

Now that you know some of the benefits of frequent ice bath therapy, you’re likely thinking – well, what will this all cost me?

In the past, Sydney recovery and wellness centres have locked access to their ice baths behind expensive memberships or one-time costs. Some businesses still charge their members over $40 per week, making the therapy unachievable for many.

Seeing this entry cost as an unacceptable barrier to what should be entitled therapy for all Sydneysiders, the founders of XtraClubs are providing affordable access to ice baths, saunas and steam rooms. Starting at $27.95 per week, XtraClubs is your best way to benefit from ice bath therapy.
