Convince Your Other Half (That You Need a Monk)

You’re ready. You’ve researched, imagined the setup, even picked your first playlist.

There’s just one thing standing in the way:

Someone else in your life is… not quite there yet.

We’ve seen it hundreds of times.

Here’s how to bring them with you – calmly, lovingly, strategically.

Step 1: Start with the science

This isn’t some bro-bin in the garden. The cold gives you focus, sure.

But that’s just the start.

Here’s what’s happening beneath the surface:

  • Lowers cortisol – your primary stress hormone
  • Increases metabolism by up to 350% – by activating brown fat
  • Builds more white blood cells + NK cells – immune power, daily
  • Improves HRV – a measure of how fast you bounce back from pressure
  • Boosts dopamine by up to 250% – for clean, lasting focus
  • Rewires your nervous system –react less, recover faster
  • Reduces inflammation + balances immunity – fewer colds, fewer crashes
  • Improves sleep quality + depth – so you recover harder, faster, deeper
  • Strengthens your stress response – so you can handle more, and stay grounded while doing it
  • Triggers natural endorphins – for a high that doesn’t crash
  • Creates identity-level change – see yourself as someone who does hard things. Daily.

It’s a training ground for your nervous system, your mindset, your resilience.

And trust us - a regulated you is everyone’s win.

Step 2: You won’t be the only one using it

We hear this all the time:

“I bought it for me - but now my partner uses it more than I do.”

“My wife swore she’d hate it. Now she invites her friends round to plunge.”

One customer paid his teenage kids £5 for every plunge – now they jump in themselves whenever they're grumpy or unfocused.

What starts as your ritual becomes the household ritual.

Because Monk helps at every moment that matters:

  • After the commute that almost broke you

  • Post-bedtime meltdown (yours or theirs)

  • Before the meeting that could’ve been an email

  • The morning after “I’ll just have one glass…”

It becomes part of the household rhythm – like coffee, walks, or wine.

Step 3: You’re modelling more than wellness 

When you choose the cold, you’re showing the people around you what it looks like to do hard things. To choose discomfort. To show up when it’s easier not to.

That’s discipline.
That’s self-respect.
And it’s contagious.

Step 4: Look at the value 

The cost of anything is a commitment.
But the value? That’s where Monk earns its place.

Let’s zoom out…

If you went to a cryotherapy studio in London, at £70 per session, three times a week, that’s roughly £840/month – over £10,000/year – just to rent the cold.

Or maybe there’s a local sauna-and-plunge club near you – around £20 a session.
Sounds cheaper, but it adds up fast: 2 hours there and back, the packing, the queues, the wet kit, and sharing a tub that’s… let’s say, not exactly pristine.

With Monk, you skip the logistics.
No commute. No crowds. No cold car rides home.
Just your ritual, on tap – any time, any day.


The real question?

What’s it worth to have more patience at home, more focus at work, and more strength when life gets loud?

Still unsure? Share this with your partner. Let Monk do the talking.
