Luke S.
My name is Luke and I am the founder of Tucson Cold Plunge. I started learning about the benefits of cold water exposure about 3 years ago from “Own the Day” by Aubrey Marcus. After a little research and accomplishing my first plunge, I was hooked. As a jiu jitsu enthusiast, the recovery benefits were very appealing not only for the physical, but for mental training as well. I began making my own ice baths at home with a plastic tub from Home Depot, eventually graduating to a large tin horse trough. I fell in love with this experience and sharing it with friends.
Plunging has made me a better, more resilient human and that’s why I’m passionate about sharing it with the Tucson community. The plunge is challenging but the feelings of accomplishment, strength, and resiliency are well worth the small amount of work. Stay cold Tucson!
Luke B.
Two Lukes are better than one! I'm a Tucson native and U of A alumni currently serving in the Air Force. I first heard of cold therapy from Wim Hoff and was impressed by his ability to spend over 60 minutes in an ice bath. I began implementing the Wim Hoff Method breathing, cold showers, and soaks in natural cold pools to sharpen my mind, increase resilience, and decrease stress.

I'm passionate about cold plunges because in just a few minutes, you can completely reset, recharge, and be ready to engage the next challenge. The cold is a brutal teacher that has helped me tune into my inner wisdom and given me the courage to do what is right, not what is easy. Getting into the cold water is now something that I crave and helps me slow down from the busy chaos of life as a modern human. Much love, stay frosty!

VANESSA D.
My name is Vanessa. The passion for care that exists within this community is truly unencumbered. Personally, I found that really living meant giving what I had to offer to others. However, I realized performing acts of service could easily be removed by an inability to do so. Life is funny like that, forcing us to slow down, shed false ego and find balance. That’s when I began investing in my own health, in order to advocate for others.
For me, cold plunging came at a time in my life when I was overcoming PTSD. I fell in love with the clarity I gained and the focus that helped me in meditation and performance of Bhakti yoga. Mentally, the cold was all I could ask for. There was so much I could share, so suddenly. Sometime after this discovery, I was hit with another shock from reality. After nearly losing my life in a car wreck by a drunk driver, the sobering sensation that cold plunging provided was completely profound in my recovery and still is.
Bhagavad-Gita 6.7
For one who has conquered the mind, the Supersoul is already reached, for he has attained tranquillity. To such a man happiness and distress, heat and cold, honor and dishonor are all the same.

This experience is truly special and I hope to see you share it with your loved ones.
