Do something hard with good people.
Hot & Cold Club is a small gathering hosted in a private backyard near the beach. We breathe together, sit in the heat, step into cold water and leave more awake than we arrived.
There is no charge and no experience required—just a willingness to be present, respect your own limits and share the hour with a few new people.

Here’s how the
hour unfolds.
Every session is guided from start to finish. You are encouraged to explore your edge, but never pressured to override your body.
About 5 minutes
Breath & heat
Three guided sauna rounds at approximately 175°F, with steam, aromatic scents and distinct breathwork practices.
Move to cold
Transition out of the sauna, slow the breath and prepare for a supported two-person plunge.
Guided plunge
Up to three minutes at approximately 45°F, with steady cues to help you stay present and regulated.
Return & close
Come back to the sauna for a final five-minute breath practice and a grounded close together.

Hosted by Brad
A club built for fun, community and connection.
“I created Hot & Cold Club because breath, heat and cold help people become present—and shared challenges make it surprisingly easy to connect.”
This is a personal community gathering, not a commercial spa. Sessions are hosted at a private residence in La Jolla Shores, and the exact address is sent only to confirmed attendees.
Good to know
Questions before you plunge?
Every attendee completes a waiver during booking. The experience is intended for adults who can safely participate in sauna, breathwork and cold-water immersion.
No. The entire hour is guided, and first-timers are welcome. You may modify or skip any part of the session.
Yes. Hot & Cold Club is currently hosted for fun and community. Please reserve only when you genuinely intend to attend.
The gathering takes place at a private home in La Jolla Shores. The exact address, parking notes and entry instructions are included in your confirmation.
Three minutes is an invitation, not a requirement. You may exit the plunge at any time, and the host will guide you without pressure.
Sauna, intensive breathwork and cold immersion may not be appropriate for everyone. Review the waiver and consult a qualified healthcare professional when you have medical concerns or are unsure whether participation is appropriate.
