ANTHONY JOSHUA, PROFESSIONAL BOXER
“For me, ice baths are about mental resilience as much as they are physical recovery. Monk is a wellness innovation that helps me be a better athlete and human. I’ve witnessed the evolution of Monk firsthand, and I stand by them – not just as an investor, but as a true believer in their mission to become the world leaders in cold water therapy.“
Ruby Wax, Comedian & Actress
"I’m freezing my ass off to ward of depression.
Mentally saved by having my Monk ice baths. Thank you so much again and again"
JAMES WATT, CO-FOUNDER BREWDOG
"Cold exposure has had the biggest impact on my mental clarity and my mindset. It's helped me to make better business decisions at BrewDog, and I've been using Monk before important meetings and most mornings. Unquestionably, Monk is leading the seismic shift in health."
Backed by athletes, leaders, and people who carry pressure
Calm is your edge.
For the founder walking into a difficult meeting. The parent running on four hours' sleep. The athlete under pressure. The person with too much on their plate and not enough space to think.
Life doesn't always give you the option to remove the pressure. But you can get better at how you meet it.
That's what we train at Monk. Not tolerance for colder water. Resilience for everything outside it.
ACCESS AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
your cold water therapy coach
Plunge to guided sessions – breathwork, soundscapes, coaching – built to put you in control. Explore our progressive acclimatisation programme, or 'drop-in' plunges for muscle recovery, morning awakening, anxiety reset, and more.
Each is expertly crafted using evidence based techniques including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and visualisation, to help you rewire, reframe, and experience true transformation.
TRACK YOUR SLEEP, HEART RATE & HRV
You can’t manage what you can’t measure. Monk integrates with your wearables, like Whoop, Oura, and many more, so that you can see how cold exposure impacts important health metrics over time, like heart rate, HRV and sleep, all in the Monk dashboard.
TRACK YOUR MENTAL STATE
Not only does Monk track your quantitative metrics like plunge frequency, time and duration - you can also self report of mental health metrics pre and post plunge.
Track your motivation, focus, happiness, stress and see how cold water therapy impacts your mood.
Schedule your plunges
Your life, your schedule. You can schedule your plunges in advance, and Monk will be at the temperature you want, when you want it. Afternoon triathlon recovery on Wednesdays, and a colder morning wake-up on Thursday? Monk’s got you covered. Plus, you can add it to your calendar for added accountability.
THE SCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN BENEFITS OF COLD WATER THERAPY
Mental Health
Depression, anxiety, and stress have been closely linked to chronic inflammation. Not only is anti-inflammation one of CWT’s most profound physiological responses, it’s also proven to stimulate the vagus nerve. On a biochemical level, CWT created a euphoric explosion of neurotransmitters, and has been proven to increase dopamine by 250%.
Immunity
Cold water immersion has been shown to provide long-lasting positive changes to our immune, lymphatic, and circulatory systems, which underpin our immunity and ability to deal with disease and infection.
Find out more on how CWT increases disease-fighting white blood cells, boosts natural killer cells that are related to tumour immunity, and increases glutathione, an antioxidant that’s vital for detoxing and combating oxidative stress in the body.
Fat loss + Metabolism
When you cold plunge, your body goes into overdrive to stay warm. To cope, it burns stored white fat (aka “the bad fat”) which aids weight loss, activates brown adipose tissue (aka “the good fat”), and has been proven to boost metabolism by 350%.
Cold exposure has been shown to improve leptin sensitivity (one of the most important regulators of body mass). Learn more about brown fat, hypothyroidism, leptin, and thermogenesis.
Muscle Recovery
There’s a reason elite athletes and sports teams have used ice baths as an integral part of their recovery protocols for decades. Predominantly, cold immersion causes blood vessels to tighten (vasoconstriction) which stems inflammation, helps the lymph nodes move lactic acid and other toxins out of the body, increases blood flow and speeds circulation, and delivers much needed oxygen and nutrients to the muscles which aid their recovery.
Learn more about lactic acid, lowering inflammation, what training styles benefit most, and exertional hyperthermia.
Neuroprotection
Cold therapy activates cold shock proteins, which have been found to play a role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and acute and age-related diseases including cancer, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, atherosclerosis, chronic liver disease, and asthma.
Learn more about RMB3, the cold shock protein making waves in healthcare, and all things neurogenesis, the role of dopamine, neuroplasticity, and more.
