Your first visit

Book it, tell us you're new, and we'll walk you through every step. Here's exactly what happens, so nothing's a surprise.

The studio entrance at WellSuite on South Lamar, with the Generator sign beside the doors and a woman walking in.
  • Book ahead

    Your booking tells us it's your first visit, so we know to walk you through it and time the cold with you.

  • Bring a swimsuit

    If you're getting in the water. Towels and everything else are here.

  • Come a few minutes early

    Enough time to settle in before the sauna.

  • Free parking on site

    We're inside WellSuite at 2043 South Lamar Boulevard, Suite 2-100.

What happens, step by step

  1. A woman sits along the cedar bench of the infrared sauna, lit red, smiling toward the camera.

    Heat

    Infrared sauna

    You start warm. Thirty minutes of infrared heat opens your blood vessels and loosens you up, so the cold has something to work with.

    30 min

  2. A woman sits on the teak divider between the cold and hot plunge tubs, hugging her knees, brass sconces and the tub signs behind her.

    Contrast

    Cold and hot plunge

    Three minutes cold, three minutes hot, twice through, then a last cold dunk of up to three minutes. Someone times the cold with you, and you can get out whenever you want.

    3 min rounds

  3. A woman laughs as she reclines with her legs in NormaTec compression boots.

    Settle

    Compression, vibration, red light

    Then your body gets to come back down. Sleeves on your legs in the compression lounge, a few minutes on the vibration plate, and red light to finish. You walk out reset.

You're in charge

  • Skip the cold if you want

    Do the sauna and the compression lounge instead. We'd rather you came in and skipped it than didn't come at all.

  • Get out whenever you like

    Most people last less time in the cold on a first visit than they expected to, and that's completely fine.

  • Bring someone

    The sauna seats more than one and the plunges sit side by side. Just tell us when you book that there are two of you.

  • Ask your doctor first if you need to

    If you're pregnant, or you have a heart or blood-pressure condition, talk to your doctor before you plunge.

The man was so chill and friendly, got me in a relaxed state before my first ever cold plunge, and didn't rush me out as there was nobody booked in after me

I was a little nervous cold plunging, but it was SO worth it!

First-visit questions

What is The Protocol?

Our signature visit, and the one we'd book first. Five stations in one booking, in this order - the infrared sauna, the cold and hot plunges, the compression lounge, the vibration plate, then red light. Someone walks you through it.

What should I bring?

A swimsuit, if you're getting in the water. That's it. Towels and everything else are here.

Do I have to do the cold?

No. Tell us it's your first time and we'll time it with you, and you can get out whenever you want. You can also skip it and do the sauna and the compression lounge.

How long is a first visit?

About an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half, all in. About forty-five minutes of that is heat and cold - thirty in the sauna and the plunge rounds after it - then compression, the vibration plate and red light.

How do I book?

Leave your name and number on the booking page and pick a time on the next screen. Booking runs on Mindbody, the same system our members use, and a team member texts you a few minutes later.

Where do I park?

Free on site at WellSuite, 2043 South Lamar Boulevard, Suite 2-100.

Your first visit is The Protocol, guided. Thirty minutes in the infrared sauna, the cold and hot plunges with someone timing the cold for you, then compression, the vibration plate and red light. Bring a swimsuit, come a few minutes early, and tell us you're new. That's all you need to know.

Want the details?

The Protocol has the long version of why the order matters, and the research has what the studies actually show. If you'd rather talk to a person first, ask us anything.

Generator is a recovery studio, not a medical provider. Nothing here diagnoses or treats a condition, and it isn't a substitute for advice from your own clinician. If you're pregnant, or you have a heart or blood-pressure condition, talk to your doctor before you plunge.
