Michael Saunders beside his Vitalis 3

My players recover faster, train harder, and complain less. We used to rig up cooler boxes with ice from 7-Eleven and it was a joke. The Vitalis is always at temperature, always clean, and my players actually use it every single session now. The difference in next-day readiness is dramatic. It paid for itself in the first month — I’ve since added a second unit at my Bukit Timah club.

Michael coaches competitive tennis players across three clubs in Singapore.

Allyson's morning routine with her Vitalis 3

I didn’t expect to love it this much. I thought I’d dread the cold every morning but now it’s genuinely the highlight of my day. Three minutes in and I walk out with sharper focus, better mood, and this calm that carries me through back-to-back meetings. It replaced my second coffee. My husband now fights me for the tub — we might need a second one.

Allyson is a tech executive who bought the Vitalis as a stress management experiment.

Vitalis 3 units in CAVO Fitness

Members ask about the cold plunge before they ask about the weights. It’s become our signature offering. We installed two Vitalis units and they run 24/7 — the Flow Controller keeps the water consistently clean between monthly resets, which was our biggest concern with high-volume use. Members now book plunge slots in advance, and our retention has improved since we added them. We’re the gym with the plunge, and that’s a competitive edge.

Daniel with his Vitalis 3 in his home garden

Cool Bionic has been tremendous ever since I bought my Vitalis a year ago. The unit has worked perfectly the whole time — it’s a very high quality product. The chiller still hits 3 degrees every morning in Singapore heat, monthly maintenance takes me 30 minutes, and my chronic shoulder pain is basically gone. Jit has been a huge help and been very patient with all my questions along my ice bathing journey. Highly recommended.

Daniel has used his Vitalis daily for over a year.

Sarah and James Wong with their Vitalis 3

Best thing we’ve done in a long time. Jit is super helpful with setup and support, and the benefits are felt almost immediately. It goes way beyond the physical aspect of cold water dipping — the mental clarity carries me through my entire workday, and for Sarah it’s the one thing that consistently calms her anxiety. We do it together every morning before the kids wake up. We’ve recommended it to four couples and two have already bought one.

Sarah and James installed the Vitalis as a shared wellness investment.

Somchai stepping into his Vitalis 3

After sparring I used to be wrecked for two days. My legs would be so inflamed that the next session was survival mode, not progress. Now I do five minutes at 4 degrees after every session and I’m back in the gym the next morning actually performing. My coaches noticed the difference before I did. During fight camp I train twice a day — the Vitalis is the reason I can sustain that volume without breaking down. It’s become my secret weapon.

Somchai is a professional Muay Thai fighter training in Bangkok.

Adrian Goh using his Vitalis 3

I’m 62 with a replaced knee and a bad shoulder. I was skeptical — I didn’t think cold plunging was for someone my age. My physio suggested trying 10 to 12 degrees, nothing extreme. I started with 2 minutes and now I do 5 every morning before breakfast. The chronic stiffness that used to take hours to shake off clears within minutes. It’s given me back the mornings I thought aging had taken from me. I feel ten years younger, genuinely.

Adrian started cold plunging on his physiotherapist’s recommendation.

Rina after a long run preparing to plunge

Marathon training used to wreck my legs for days. I’d limp through rest days dreading the next long run. Since adding post-run plunges my legs recover overnight instead of over three days. I ran a 12-minute personal best at the Jakarta Marathon and I honestly credit the Vitalis with letting me train at higher volume without falling apart. I do 80km weeks now and my body handles it. That wasn’t possible before.

Rachel Lim before sunrise with her Vitalis 3

As a working mum with two kids, I needed something that was just mine. I wake up 15 minutes before anyone else and do three minutes in the plunge. It’s the only thing I’ve ever stuck with — because it resets me completely. I walk into the morning chaos feeling grounded instead of reactive. I’m calmer, more patient, and actually present. My husband noticed the change before I did. He said I seem like a different person in the mornings.

Rachel is a marketing manager with two young children.

Marcus Lee and teammates after recovery

The whole squad uses it now. After Saturday matches we rotate through the plunge and by Monday we’re training at full intensity instead of nursing bruised muscles. The coaching staff say it’s had more impact on mid-week training quality than any conditioning programme change we’ve made. Recovery on Monday is night and day compared to last season. We’re adding a second unit for pre-game warm-up protocols this year.

Marcus plays rugby for SCC in Singapore.

I went from three ibuprofens every night to zero. My chronic back pain has eased up, I sleep a full eight hours, and I wake up feeling like a different person. Should have done this years ago.

Living in Bali, heat is constant. The Vitalis turned my terrace into a personal recovery space. Cold plunge at sunrise, then straight into my workday — I’ve never been this focused.

I train twice a day — swim in the morning, run or bike in the evening. The plunge between sessions cuts my fatigue in half. My splits have actually improved since I started using it.

It’s made me mentally tougher. Two minutes of controlled discomfort every morning has changed how I handle stress at work. The feeling of accomplishment when I step out is incredible.

Marathon training used to wreck my legs for days. Now a post-run plunge brings the inflammation down so fast I can actually enjoy my rest days instead of limping through them.

I teach yoga six days a week and my body was constantly sore. The evening plunge after my last class has completely changed my recovery. I sleep deeper and wake up without stiffness.

I’m 62 with a replaced knee and a bad shoulder. Mornings used to be rough. Now I do five minutes at 10°C before breakfast and the joint pain is manageable for the rest of the day. I feel ten years younger.

I coach CrossFit classes all day and still need to train myself. The plunge lets me compress my recovery so I can actually perform in my own sessions instead of just surviving them.

The support has been incredible. Jit answered every question during setup and still checks in months later. The product is premium but the aftercare is what sets Cool Bionic apart.

We bought the Vitalis for our physio clinic. Patients who do post-session plunges report faster pain relief than ice packs alone. It’s become part of our treatment protocol.
