Fire & Ice
A private sauna and cold plunge, all yours for 45 minutes. Unwind in the heat. Recharge in the cold. Walk out in a state of calm you actually earned.
The Comfort Zone
Climate-controlled car. Climate-controlled office. Climate-controlled couch. We engineered away the hard edges from our lives, and our bodies have noticed.
But despite all that comfort and convenience, our stress didn't go anywhere. It just hums in the background as tight shoulders, a short fuse, and a brain that won't power down.
Fire & Ice is an antidote to this modern malaise. It's a voluntary dose of hormetic stress. You do the hard thing on purpose, and something powerful and primal in you comes back online.
How it works
Fire & Ice is contrast therapy: a cedar sauna up to 190°F and a 45–50°F cold plunge in your own private suite, with showers and a changing area.
The magic is in hormetic stress (or hormesis), a biological process where a short, mild dose of stress challenges the body and triggers cellular repair, making you more resilient. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
You move in rounds. The sauna tests you while asking you to slow down. The plunge pushes you further with deeper breaths, total focus, then a deep calm.
Rinse, breathe, repeat. Heat opens you up. Cold brings you alive. Together they make a reset you can feel from your scalp to your toes.

Many guests report these effects. Individual results vary; this is wellness, not medical advice.
Heat and cold are not right for everyone. If you have heart, blood pressure, circulation, or fainting concerns, or you're pregnant, check with your healthcare provider first. Exit any time you feel dizzy or unsafe.
Reviews
“Just finished a wonderful fire & ice (sauna & cold plunge) private session with my wife. I surprised my wife for date night. We had a wonderful time connecting in the private room, going from the sauna to the cold plunge at our leisure.
True North has a very friendly, relaxed and open vibe to it. Coming from Los Angeles I've been to a few of these float places and I'm very impressed with True North!
Friendly staff, clean and welcoming. Highly recommend it!”
“Wow! The minute I walked in the door I knew this was going to be incredible experience!
The staff was extremely informative and went out of their way to explain the process and be welcoming!
I was able to enjoy the Fire and Ice experience. It was an amazing blend of luxury and challenge! The facility is as comfortable as it is beautiful and healing!
I could not recommend it more and look forward to trying more of their services!”
“We went in for a fire/ice session followed by a 60 minute float and it was such a special experience. The art is thoughtfully curated, the lounge is comfortable and warm, and the space is spotlessly clean without feeling sterile. The fire/ice session primed me both mentally and physically for the float tank. In previous floats I've been unable to break through my mental chatter, but that wasn't the case at all this time. The time, energy and love that has been poured into the space is apparent, and Christian's knowledge and recommendations are so valuable. He's an amazing resource and truly takes the time to understand what you want to get out of the float and what he and the space can offer to help you achieve it.”
“This is by far the nicest float center I've visited. The owner definitely has put a lot of attention to every detail of the center. The tanks are extremely spacious, silent and modern, making for a relaxing, expansive experience. Great place to wind down and let your muscles recover. I also highly recommend using the nordic spa. The water in the tub is constantly circulating keeping the temperature cold. The sauna makes for a great place to alternate and heat back up (or relax in the whole time, if the cold isn't your thing). Great tool to have in town, I'll be back for more recovery days for sure!”
“Truly LOVE this place. Fire and Ice is my favorite and the space they have is unique and special. It is a very clean, peaceful atmosphere with intention in every aspect. The staff is helpful and friendly. True North is on a mission to help each person on their own journey and it is evident in the space they've created and the experiences they offer. I always leave feeling fantastic. Thank you TN for your commitment to health, healing and finding peace.”
“I love coming here with my bestie we do the couples fire and ice and it is just an awesome experience each time. I like doing with someone else because it helps me push my limits when we encourage each other. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming you will not be disappointed in the services they have to offer and they are opened until 10pm and that really helps with my schedule.”
“Even upon entering the front door, your overwhelmed with a sense of peace. It's calming before you even begin a session.
I was greeted with a beautiful smile by Siri and treated kind and had an engaging conversation. A fire and ice session takes definite mental calming, but it's so worth the benefits. I look forward to going back to try a float!”
“Amazing experience every time. I workout 5-6 times a week, so the Fire and Ice is just terrific for my body. The staff are always so kind and relaxed, and help provide a peaceful atmosphere. Although they are a business, they are doing a service to the community.”
“True North is the absolute best catalyst for rest and healing. No where else have I been able to soften enough to allow what needs to come through in the capacity that I have here in these floats. This space is truly a gift. The tanks are beautifully designed, spacious enough to really stretch, move and unwind unlike anywhere else. Then, Fire & Ice is always the refreshing jolt I need. I don't know of anywhere else like it... I love this place and everyone in it, THANK YOU!!!”
“Fantastic experience! My partner and I tried the Fire and Ice session! We both loved how nice this facility is! The staff member working was absolutely amazing! We felt rejuvenated, refreshed, and pampered after! I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique experience, top quality customer care, and excellent accommodations!”
“The hospitality is incredible, the cleanliness is top notch, and the services are unlike anything else in town. As someone who've very active at the gym and outdoors, The fire & ice is a must try! Highly recommend True North!”
“A beautiful, transformative experience. I highly recommend the float to reach your inner child, and the fire+ice to feel invigorated. It gave me presence in this body and left me feeling deeply grateful. Thank you 🙏”
“My husband and I were passing thru Saint George and booked a wellness day together at True North. First of all it's a beautiful and clean space with incredible art! We loved the fire & ice experience trying a cold tub + cozy hot sauna back and forth. Then we did a couples float that truly relaxed our bodies and brains. What a wonderful place! I absolutely recommend a visit to True North for some relaxing tranquility while in southern Utah.”

I highly recommend trying the fire and ice feature as it's a great way to recharge and leaves you feeling revitalized.”
“This place is THE PLACE! The ambiance has a stellar zen vibe and the services are unmatched. They have an open concept float room if you feel like you would be claustrophobic in a pod. The fire and ice sessions are magical for sore muscles and a host of other benefits. If you've been hearing about the hype, check it out. True North Float nailed it! Grateful to have this facility in St. George 🙏🏻”
“There are no words to accurately portray how I felt after my time at true north. I did fire and ice and a 90 min float and it was absolutely incredible from the second I walked in to the second I left. Amber was amazing at answering my questions and showing me around. I can't wait to go back!”
“My husband and I did the Fire and Ice and we loved it! The facility is very clean, and the staff was so nice. Definitely will be going back, and want to try the float next!”
