Let’s take a closer look at what makes The Pod Company’s products the new gold standard in recovery, performance, and well-being.

1. The Ice Pod: Your Cold Therapy Companion

First up is the Ice Pod, available in two intelligently designed formats the Ice Pod Pro and the Long Pod. Both are engineered for comfort, portability, and performance, accommodating a wide range of body types and fitness goals.

The Ice Pod Pro holds up to 110 gallons of water and comfortably fits individuals up to 6'7" (201cm) and 280–320 lbs (125–150kg). At just 8 lbs (4kg) when empty, it’s lightweight and easy to move, yet sturdy enough to provide a stable and immersive cold plunge experience. For those who want even more room to stretch out, the Long Pod is the perfect solution. It holds 126 gallons, with a wider and longer profile, making it ideal for users up to 6'9" (205cm) and 400 lbs (180kg). Despite its size, it weighs just 17 lbs (8kg) empty and folds up for easy storage.

These pods are more than just a tub they’re your gateway to powerful physiological benefits. Cold water therapy is proven to help reduce inflammation, ease muscle soreness, enhance immune function, and even elevate your mood. That post-ice bath high? It’s real and it’s backed by science. Regular cold immersion has been shown to raise dopamine levels, which helps boost your overall mood and lower anxiety.

2. The Chillers: Dial in the Perfect Chill

What’s an ice bath without the ice? That’s where The Pod Company’s chillers come in. You can choose between the Standard Chiller and the Pro Chiller, depending on your needs.

The Standard Chiller is ideal for most users, featuring a 1/3 hp compressor, 280W power consumption, and an ultra-quiet operation at 39–45 decibels about the same as your kitchen fridge. It cools water down to 5°C (41°F) and is incredibly compact, measuring just 12x12x13 inches. Weighing only 39 lbs (18kg), it's perfect for home use and easy to move when needed.

For more advanced users or those who want that extra frosty edge, the Pro Chiller steps it up with a 1/2 hp compressor, 500W power consumption, and a slightly higher noise level at ∼55 decibels comparable to a quiet dishwasher. It cools water down to a brisk 3°C (39°F) and remains compact at 13x13x14.5 inches. Even with more power, it only weighs 49 lbs (22kg).

Both chillers are plug-and-play with a standard 110V plug, making them simple to integrate into your current setup. Say goodbye to buying bags of ice and hello to on-demand cold immersion, any time of day.

3. The Sauna Pod: Heat Therapy on Your Terms

Now let’s talk heat. The Sauna Pod by The Pod Company is the world’s first portable hot air sauna capable of reaching temperatures up to 185°F (85°C). It’s not just a luxury it’s a necessity for anyone serious about recovery and mental wellness.

This one-person sauna has an interior height of 67 inches (170 cm) and an external diameter of 37 inches (95 cm). It’s designed to comfortably fit users up to 6'7" (2.1m) and folds away easily when not in use. At just 31 lbs (14kg), it’s lightweight and portable, meaning you can bring the spa experience into your home, garden, or even on the road.

Sauna use is proven to support detoxification, cardiovascular health, relaxation, and sleep quality. The intense heat helps calm the nervous system, reduce cortisol (your stress hormone), and soothe sore muscles after a workout. Combine this with cold therapy, and you’ve got a powerful one-two punch that elevates physical performance and mental resilience.

Contrast Therapy: Why It Works

So, what makes combining cold and hot therapy so effective? It’s called contrast therapy, and it’s been used for centuries to promote healing, circulation, and recovery. The rapid transition between hot and cold helps flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and stimulate blood flow key to faster recovery and improved performance.

The cold immersion constricts blood vessels and lowers tissue temperature, while the heat from the sauna dilates those vessels and encourages fresh, oxygen-rich blood to flood your muscles and joints. The result? Less soreness, faster muscle repair, and better mobility.

It also helps with mental clarity, stress relief, and mood enhancement. The cold triggers a release of dopamine, while the heat relaxes your muscles and calms your nervous system. Use it daily or several times a week, and you’ll notice better sleep quality, energy levels, and an overall sense of well-being.
