Short answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry floating and Ice Bath 2.0 turn two well-known applications into a dry format. With dry floating, the user lies fully clothed on a flexible membrane above several hundred liters of warm water. With Ice Bath 2.0, a membrane envelops the body at 4 to 6 \u00b0C without it getting wet. For operators, changing, showering and water hygiene are eliminated. That makes both applications especially well suited to hotels, gyms and companies.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

What are dry floating and Ice Bath 2.0?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both applications come from Zerobody in Italy and share the same principle: a flexible, patented membrane separates the body from the water. With dry floating<\/strong>, the user lies on several hundred liters of temperature-controlled water. The water supports the body and creates a floating, weightless sensation similar to classic floating in salt water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice Bath 2.0<\/strong> applies the same idea to cold. The body is enveloped by a membrane, with water at 4 to 6 \u00b0C beneath it. The cold stimulus occurs without skin or clothes getting wet. According to the manufacturer, both applications can be combined, for example as a cold-and-warm sequence in a recovery area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For your marketing: dry floating and Ice Bath 2.0 are wellness and recovery applications. Avoid phrases such as “scientifically proven” or “most effective method”. Talk about process, calm, and the cold and warmth experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Man
Ice Bath 2.0 in a gym: the body rests in the membrane and stays dry, with controls at the head end.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What does a session look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With dry floating, the guest lies down fully clothed and staff start a program via the intuitive controls. Audio programs, light and, depending on configuration, massage functions deepen relaxation. According to the manufacturer’s page, a session usually lasts 30 minutes to one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice Bath 2.0 is just as simple: lie down, the membrane envelops the body, cold phase, get up. Because nothing needs drying and nobody needs to shower, the room is immediately ready for the next guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
