Overview

The Helix Ice Bath is a precision cold-water immersion system, engineered for daily use at the temperature, capacity and reliability serious recovery demands. Available in Round and Oval forms, wood-clad in heat-treated Thermowood for indoor or outdoor use, at home or in commercial facilities. It chills to a true 3°C and heats to 40°C — cold immersion or warm contrast therapy, all year round.

The outcomes

What it delivers

Cold water is the most direct intervention in wellness: there's no easing into it, no faking it, and no mistaking how you feel when you climb out. A few minutes at three degrees and the body floods with the chemistry of focus and drive while the aches of hard training quietly switch off — and the people who build it into their week stop calling it discipline and start calling it the best part of their day. The Helix Ice Bath exists to make that repeatable: a true, stable cold every single morning, at home or on the gym floor, without the faff that makes most people quit.

Capabilities

Engineered to perform

Every system in Helix Ice Bath — Round and Oval works together to deliver measurable, repeatable results for your clients.

01

Chills to a true 3°C

A precision chiller holds the water at 3°C — cold enough to drive a meaningful noradrenaline and dopamine response, and stable enough to repeat every day.

02

Heat or cool, 3–40°C

Integrated heating and cooling spans the full range, so one system delivers cold immersion or warm contrast therapy all year round.

03

Ergonomic immersion

A built-in seat places your chest and shoulders fully submerged, so you can sit, breathe and stay — rather than brace and fight the vessel.

04

10,000 L/h filtration

Water circulates through a filter at 10,000 litres per hour, keeping it clean and clear between sessions with minimal maintenance.

05

Thermowood, indoor or out

A food-grade polypropylene shell inside, clad in heat-treated Thermowood — naturally resistant to UK weather, UV and moisture.

06

Plug-and-play install

Runs from a standard 13 A socket and arrives complete with bath, steps, lid, pipes, fittings, chiller and pump — professionally installed by the Helix team.

Questions, answered

Good to know

How cold does it actually get?+
Down to a true 3°C, held stable by a precision chiller. That's the point of a proper ice bath over a tub of ice: the temperature is consistent and repeatable every day, rather than a one-off shock that fades as the ice melts.
Can it heat as well as cool?+
Yes. Integrated heating and cooling spans 3–40°C, so the same unit delivers cold immersion or warm contrast therapy all year round — useful in the UK, where an unheated outdoor bath is unpleasant for months at a time.
What's involved in installing one?+
Very little. It runs from a standard 13 A socket and arrives complete with the bath, steps, lid, pipes, fittings, chiller and pump. Our team installs it professionally, so it's genuinely plug-and-play.
How do I keep the water clean?+
Water circulates through a filter at 10,000 litres per hour, keeping it clear between sessions with minimal maintenance — so you're not draining and refilling constantly.
Can it live outdoors?+
Yes. The food-grade polypropylene shell is clad in heat-treated Thermowood, which is naturally resistant to UK weather, UV and moisture, so it's rated for indoor or outdoor placement.
What's the difference between Round and Oval?+
The Round holds 500 L at 105 cm diameter and 105 cm tall; the Oval holds 450 L at 76 cm wide by 105 cm long. Choose by the space you have and the immersion posture you prefer — both share the same chiller, filtration and build.
Is it suitable for home or commercial use?+
Both. It's built for daily home recovery and robust enough for commercial gym and facility use, with the same reliability either way.
Is cold-water immersion safe for everyone?+
Most healthy adults tolerate it well, but it isn't for everyone — heart conditions, high blood pressure and pregnancy are common cautions. Ease in gradually, never immerse alone if you're unsure, and seek medical advice if any condition applies. We provide usage guidance.
