About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
Kove Studio East Village is New York City's first everyday recovery studio, offering a protocol-based approach centered on contrast therapy. The spa provides clean infrared saunas and multiple cold plunge tubs, with guests consistently highlighting the exceptional quality of the cold plunge as the best in Manhattan. Each cold plunge tub features its own power filter, and spa-goers appreciate the option of different temperature settings. The infrared saunas are noted for being brand new and are cleaned after each use. The core experience allows for a quick and efficient recovery session, combining sauna and cold plunge, with some guests opting for packages like the Bondi, which includes sauna, cold plunge, and Normatec compression sleeves.

The vibe is no-frills, focused on effective recovery, and provides a tranquil escape from the busy city.

Additional Amenities
Beyond the core contrast therapy, the studio offers several recovery-focused amenities. These include Normatec compression sleeves, recliners with cozy fleece blankets, and red light therapy masks and panels for skin benefits and injury recovery. A post-plunge slushie is also noted as a must-have. Attention to detail is evident in offerings like disposable bags for wet swimsuits and places to secure phones during sessions.
