The Crane Premium Ice Bath will be arriving in Aldi stores this weekend as part of the newest SpecialBuy refresh. On offer for £149.99, customers can bring home a tub that claims to be big enough for two people to use.
What's in the set?
The £150 set, available later this week, includes the bath itself as well as a pump, filter pump with lid, carry bag and repair patch. Previously, Aldi sold a single Ice Bath for £24.99 - so this new option serves as an upgrade for those who take their ice baths seriously.
Describing the bath online, Aldi said: "Refresh your body. Refocus your mind. Experience the power of cold water immersion." The discount supermarket claims that the bath is "suitable for two people" and is "perfect for a winter ice bath".
Benefits and risks of ice baths
Ice baths offer a way for people to practice cold water immersion. According to health experts at Bupa, plunging into water that is colder than 15°C has been linked to easing sore muscles, lowering swelling, speeding up physical recovery after hard exercise, and boosting mental alertness by releasing endorphins.
People should be aware that cold water immersion can trigger some dangerous side effects, such as cold water shock, arrhythmias (heart rhythm disorders) and hypothermia. It is important for anyone wanting to include this in their health and wellness routine to build up sessions gradually to help the body adapt to the cold and lessen the risk.
Cold water therapy won’t be suitable for everybody, despite what the internet may claim. If you’re concerned about how cold water therapy may affect you, discuss it with your GP before trying it.
