What a cold plunge costs in New York

Published prices by studio

What the headline price leaves out

Membership tiers, pack sizes, and what a session actually includes vary more than the top-line numbers suggest. Where a studio publishes the detail, it is here.

• AIRE Ancient Baths New York · Tribeca

  No price could be traced to a capturable page. AIRE publishes its experiences and prices through a client-rendered booking application, so no figure on it can be quoted or mechanically rechecked. Its published bath temperatures could not be located on any page of its site either.

• AIRE Ancient Baths New York · Upper East Side

  No price could be traced to a capturable page: AIRE renders its experiences and prices through a client-rendered booking application. A "$245 + TAX" special-price banner is a promotion, not a standing rate.

• Akari Sauna (Greenpoint)

  Membership-only: no drop-in, no trial visit and no walk-ins. Greenpoint tiers as published: Daytime $165/month (Mon–Fri 8am–4:30pm, 4pm last entry); Unlimited is waitlist-only with no published price. A Summer Pass sells 10 visit credits for $315, but every credit expires on a fixed date — 31 August — so it is not recorded as a standing pack; Akari publishes no other Greenpoint pack. Guests must arrive and leave with a member and pay $35 plus tax. No initiation or cancellation fees; billing is month-to-month with a 30-day cancellation notice.

• Bathhouse Atlantic Ave

  No day-pass price is recorded. The venue publishes only "Starts at $29" with "Prices vary based on the day and time you choose", and its booking host shows "From US$29.00" — a floor, not a rate, and the real day-and-time grid appears only inside the booking flow. A floor cannot be published as a price here: it would sit in a comparison column beside venues that charge a knowable fixed rate and read as one. The pass has no time limit and no re-entry. Its $145 5-Pack and $250 10-Pack are both a limited summer promotion ending 1 September, with credits expiring two months after purchase, so neither is recorded as a standing pack; the standing multi-visit product is a $225 quarterly 5-Pack. Memberships are brand-wide and valid at all locations: Starter $145/mo for 3 Day Pass credits, Standard $225/mo for 5. Other published room temperatures: hot pools 104°F, neutral 98°F, steam room 115°F. The Event Sauna and infrared sauna are stated inconsistently across the venue's own pages (175°F vs 185°F, and 160°F vs 170°F) and are therefore not recorded.

• Bathhouse Flatiron

  No day-pass price is recorded: the venue's own pages disagree. The Flatiron location page and the brand Day Pass page both say "Starts at $39", while the homepage location list and the Flatiron booking host both say $29. Conflicting sources mean unknown. The pass has no time limit and no re-entry. Packs are brand-wide and MONDAY TO FRIDAY only — 5 credits $225 per quarter, 10 credits $390 — a narrower right than the memberships, whose credits are valid any day. Memberships are brand-wide and valid at all locations: Starter $145/mo (3 credits), Standard $225/mo (5). Other published temperatures: hot pools 104°F, neutral and salt pools 98°F, steam room 115°F, infrared sauna up to 135°F. Treatments are separate: massage from $195, hammam scrub from $130.

• Bathhouse Williamsburg

  No day-pass price is recorded. The venue publishes only "Starts at $39. Prices vary based on the day & time you choose" — a floor, not a rate, and a floor would read as a fixed price in any comparison. No time limit, no re-entry. Packs are brand-wide and MONDAY TO FRIDAY only — 5 credits $225 per quarter, 10 credits $390 — which is a narrower right than the memberships, whose credits are valid any day. Memberships are brand-wide and valid at all locations: Starter $145/mo (3 credits), Standard $225/mo (5). Rooftop lounge chairs ($69) and daybeds ($148) are separate add-ons that include a day pass, not the pass itself. Other published temperatures: hot pools 104°F, neutral 98°F, tropical sauna up to 185°F, steam room 115°F. The Event Sauna, dry sauna and rooftop pool are stated inconsistently between the venue's own pages and are not recorded. This location has no infrared sauna, unlike the company's other two.

• Brooklyn Banya

  Adult day pass $60. The venue caps weekend visits at five hours and states no limit on weekdays. A $40 Monday and Wednesday rate and a $25 venik are advertised in places we could not verify against the current site, so neither is recorded. No membership or online booking is published.

• Brooklyn Bathhouse

  The Standard Day Pass is $50 for four hours of amenity use; despite the name, no all-day product is sold. Time-restricted single entries are cheaper: $38 early-bird or night-owl passes on weekdays and $48 weekend variants. The Weekend Day Pass is $65 for four hours, sold Friday after 3:30pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. No multi-visit soak pack is currently published. No membership is published.

• Elahni

  Reset (30-minute, self-guided) $39 per seat; Signature (70-minute, hosted) $65 per seat; the whole private Signature room is $260 for up to four guests. Memberships, plus tax: Reset four per month $119 or eight per month $199; Signature four per month $189 or eight per month $349. Session packs are priced inside the booking widget and cannot be quoted. The Reset carries a six-hour cancellation window; the Signature 24 hours.

• Forest Hills Spa

  General admission is a flat $50 ($35 for children), with a 5-pack at $225. A separate $80 Swimming Day Pass buys six hours and is a distinct product from general admission. No monthly membership is published — longer terms are sold only as six-month and annual options.

• Great Jones Spa

  Water Lounge admission is $60 on weekdays and $70 at weekends and holidays. Admission is also included with treatments, but the venue states the condition inconsistently — its Water Lounge page requires a service of "$125 or more" while its FAQ and policies pages say any service — so no threshold is recorded. Guests receiving a treatment get two hours of Water Lounge access. No membership, pack or guest rate is published.

• HeavenLee Float Spa

  A 30-minute infrared sauna session is $30 and a 60-minute session $50. Floats are $80 for 60 minutes and $100 for 90; a three-float package is $199. No membership, day pass or guest rate is published.

• HOTWORX - Staten Island (Charleston)

  The Sweat Elite membership is $99 per month plus taxes and fees; the Sweat Basic tier is still listed but its monthly rate is no longer displayed, only a start-up fee. No drop-in, day pass or class pack is sold. A first session is free during staffed hours, and a guest may be scheduled free of charge during staffed hours.

• Ice Cold Club

  A single plunge is $20 and the published membership is $120 per month. Bookings only — no walk-ins. The plunge operates inside a partner fitness studio rather than a standalone facility.

• Kove Studio East Village

  No price could be traced to a capturable page identifying this location. The studio's site is a client-rendered application whose marketing copy covers more than one Kove location and a sibling brand, so its advertised figures are not attributable to East Village and cannot be mechanically rechecked.

• Live Hydration Spa Long Island City

  The venue publishes a full price list, but only as a downloadable PDF menu that cannot be mechanically rechecked, so no figure is recorded as a sourced field. As published there: a 60-minute private sauna and cold plunge suite is $100 ($80 for members), a standalone 15-minute cold plunge $30 ($24), a ten-pack $500 ($400), and the cheapest monthly membership $165. Members bring one guest free.

• Lore Bathing Club

  The club states its dry sauna "reaches heats of up to 190°" — a maximum rather than an operating setpoint, so no temperature field is recorded. No single-session rate is recorded either: the club prices one visit three different ways across its own pages ($65 peak, $35 off-peak, and $55 in its FAQ), all under an "Early access pricing" label. Membership is $250/month, currently sold out with a waitlist, also at early-access pricing. A three-session pack is $149 and credits expire 45 days after purchase. Guests are $35. No day pass is sold.

• New York Spa & Sauna

  Admission is $40 ($25 for children under five), with ten entries for $350. Admission includes a towel and a colour-coded uniform. No memberships or day passes are published, and reservations are not taken by phone.

• Othership Flatiron

  A two-week intro is $135. Class and membership prices are rendered by a third-party booking widget and appear nowhere in the served page, so no standing session or membership rate is recorded. The brand publishes sauna temperatures, but its own Flatiron page attributes them to Toronto, so none is attributable to this location.

• Othership Williamsburg

  A two-week intro and a three-class intro pack are both $135. Class and membership prices are rendered by a third-party booking widget and appear nowhere in the served page, so no standing session or membership rate is recorded. The brand's published sauna temperatures and ice-bath counts are attributed to its Toronto location on this very page, so none is attributable here. A $45 fee applies to a late cancellation on an intro membership.

• Recovery Mode

  No price could be traced to a capturable page: the studio's rates live inside its third-party booking script rather than in page text. Two corrections worth recording for a future pass — the $35 previously carried here is the sauna-only rate rather than a general drop-in, and the $30 is a Monday-to-Thursday promotion rather than a standing day pass. The studio also states three different cold-plunge ranges for the same tub depending on which product page you read, so no temperature is recorded.

• Remedy Place Flatiron

  No price could be traced to a capturable page: none of the club's published pages carries a dollar figure, and its booking application does not serve prices as text. Membership terms are also stated inconsistently — one page says a three-month commitment, another an annual one.

• Remedy Place SoHo

  No price could be traced to a capturable page: the club's membership page is now an enquiry form carrying no figures, and its booking application does not serve prices as text.

• Russian & Turkish Baths

  Admission is $60, with five admissions for $250 (valid for one person). A robe, slippers and towels are included at no extra charge. Massages are $65 for 30 minutes, $90 for 45 and $110 for 60. Walk-in only — no reservations are accepted for baths admission.

• Spa Castle New York

  Adult admission is $85 Monday to Thursday and $110 Friday through Sunday and on public holidays — note that Friday is charged at the higher rate; minors are $55 and $65, and infants are free. Admission is unlimited-stay with no re-entry. Memberships are $350 and $1,000 per month, requiring one month upfront to activate; members receive 50% off a guest's admission rather than a flat guest rate. No operating temperature is published for any sauna, bath or pool.

• The Keylin Experience Spa

  A 60-minute "Sauna Exercise Membership" session is $210. Other services include the infrared sauna only as a component: a Clean Slate Wrap is $99 for 60 minutes and Keylin Make It Hot is $175 for 90. Separate facial-only membership tiers ($99/$189/$329 per month) carry no thermal access.

• The Rockaway Hotel + Spa

  No admission price could be traced to a capturable page. Hotel guests pay a mandatory $55 nightly amenity fee that bundles sauna access; a seasonal day pass is advertised through a third-party reservation platform whose page could not be captured or rechecked.

• Wall Street Bath & Spa 88

  Admission is $65 Monday–Friday and $70 at weekends and holidays, both before tax and service fee. Ten-day and twenty-day admission cards are $500 and $900. Towels, slippers and lockers are included, and there is no re-entry on a single visit. A Russian banya platza ritual is $60 for 15 minutes. The private VIP room is $350 for three hours, or $450 with a private sauna for up to six people. The jacuzzi runs 102–104°F; no sauna or steam-room temperature is published.

• World Spa

  Admission is $99 and buys unlimited all-day access rather than a timed session; weekend and holiday rates differ. Memberships are sold as 3-, 6- and 12-month terms ($1,700, $3,000 and $5,000) rather than monthly, so no monthly rate is recorded. The venue publishes per-room temperatures for its saunas and banyas on its site, but only inside interactive elements that cannot be captured or mechanically rechecked, so only the cold plunge range is recorded here.

Cold plunge prices in New York: FAQ

How much does a cold plunge cost in New York?

The cheapest published single visit in New York, NY is $20 at Ice Cold Club. 13 of the 34 studios we track publish a drop-in or day-pass price at all; the rest either sell only memberships or publish no price, and we do not estimate one for them.

What is the cheapest way to plunge weekly in New York?

The lowest published monthly membership is $79 at HOTWORX - Staten Island (Charleston), though tiers differ in how many sessions they include — check the studio's own page, which every price here links to. Comparing a membership against drop-ins depends entirely on how often you actually go, so we publish both figures rather than declaring one better value.

Why do some New York studios show no price?

Because they do not publish one. Hotel spas and treatment-led day spas in particular price recovery access as part of a booked service rather than as a standalone rate. We record a price only when the studio states it on its own site or booking page, and we link to that page. A blank here means "not published", never "free" and never "unknown to us".
