Start your journey towards recovery and relaxation at the Relax N Revive wellness center
8What started out as a camping trip during the pandemic soon became a discovery of what dipping yourself in cold water can do to your body.
Isar Castaneda faced his fear of cold water during that camping trip in Montauk and took a dip in the ocean with his friend leading them into the journey of taking a cold plunge every day, even during the winter months.
"I did it, and it was absolutely amazing," said Castaneda.
While Castaneda and his friend did this throughout the winter, they thought it would be even better if after they took a cold plunge to walk into a sauna right after.
That's when the idea of Relax N Revive came to Castaneda.
Castaneda wanted to share his newfound love of cold plunging along with other wellness entities with the Long Island community.
"It ranges from the cold plunge to saunas, to full-body LED lights, to massage, and meditation," said Castaneda, who is a licensed massage therapist.
"We want to offer tools and different knowledge to help people on their wellness journey," said Castaneda.
The two cold plunge tubs are placed next to each other, in case you want to bring a friend to try it with you.
One of the tubs, named after 'Lake George' is between 52 and 54 degrees.
The other tub, which they are still looking for a name, is slightly chillier kept below 50 degrees even dipping into the 40s.
"I recommend everybody should do it," said Alexis D’amico, who attends the CrossFit gym next door.
"It’s good for like the whole mind, body, and soul kind of situation. It teaches you how to breathe properly throughout your whole body, target injuries, and it just feels good," said D’amico.
