Kohler Ice Bath
Flips Script on Hot
Tub Formula
Designed in collaboration with
Remedy Place, the high-tech solution
features full control over lighting and
temperature and even acts as an
automated guide for plunge sessions.

EVER TAKE a cold plunge?
It's a favorite among many
top athletes and many
health and wellness gurus
will swear by it as a recovery
method - provided
you make it past the initial
shock. Well, leave it to
Kohler to capture that idea
and turn it into a hi-tech
soak tub that comes with
integrated lights and an
interface for guided meditation.
The
Ice Bath is part of
a collaboration between
Kohler and Remedy Place
Founder Dr. Jonathan Leary
and is said to be the first in
a series of self-care products
the company is developing.
Founded in 2019,
Remedy Place bills itself
as the " world's first Social
Wellness Club " and has
locations in New York and
Los Angeles with ambitions
on global expansion.
" Remedy Place's passion
for designing to heal and
Kohler's advanced engineering
and quality craftmanship
came together to create a
sophisticated ice bath that
transcends the at-home
self-care category, " says Dr.
Leary.
" We're excited to bring
the Remedy Place experience
and cold therapy benefits
into people's homes.
Our partnership with Kohler
embodies a deep appreciation
for world-class design
and innovation, with the
shared goal of delivering
breakthrough products and
elevated self-care experiences
to make people feel
better. "
Starting at $15,000
MSRP, the Kohler Ice Bath
runs close to the same
price point as its other
wellness bath, the Stillness
Smart Tub. The design of
the tub is meant to put its
own standalone spin on
plunge pools, albeit with a
lot more high-tech controls

Users draw water from 38 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit while
ambient lighting surrounds the underside.
to really dial in the perfect
experience.
Precision temperature
control lets users draw
water from 38 to 104
degrees Fahrenheit while
ambient lighting surrounds
the underside of the Ice
Bath to add an additional
sensory touch to the whole
experience. A digital remote
serves as a controller.
This includes the guided
breathing timer, which helps
users perfect the soak as is
usually experienced at Remedy
Place. Users need only
punch in the desired session
length and the breath light
interface on the inside of
the bath helps guide them
the entire duration.
It's not even limited to
the bathroom either, as the
Kohler Ice Bath is built to
be able to withstand the
outdoors and even comes
with an all-weather cover
for when not in use. The
bath also comes with a
secondary drain option, in
the event of an outdoor
installation. There's even a
UV and micron filter to keep
things clean when spending
long hours immersed in the
experience.
Alternatively, it can be
hooked up to the main
plumbing line for filling and
draining in the home.
Over the years Kohler
has developed a variety
of bathroom fixtures that
would not seem out of
place in a modern smart
home installation. From
the Numi 2.0 smart toilet
to the Anthem showerhead,
Kohler has long
been experimenting with
ways to advance its classic
bathroom fixtures into the
modern era through the
incorporation of sophisticated
technology.
