Why Are We Doing All This?
Ice baths and cold plunges are surging in popularity. It's easy to see why: They benefit physical recovery and mental well-being and can be prescribed as a medical necessity for a range of health concerns.
But, let's face it:
Ice packs are not it. They're already costing you more money, not counting the time and effort.
DIY is a big compromise, work, not convenient (and admit it, not only your wife hates it).
95% of solutions on the market are ineffective and made to sell; not to delight you or be a lifetime investment.
... Then there's the sharing, the $50-100 per procedure at spas, the $6K+ chillers, the $15K systems and so on...
These are the reasons why we worked our plunges off and reinvented what a cold plunge at home should be.
The results?
Better engineering, better service, and overall a significantly better plunge-at-home experience...
How We're Different
THE EASIEST, MOST CONVENIENT COLD PLUNGE
Say goodbye to the hassle and costs of ice packs, installation with handymen, repairs, or waiting hours for your plunge.
... Ultimately not plunging as often as you'd like.
Instead, experience:
The fastest cooling/heating plunges have seen.
10-minute, 1-person installation with no tools or drilling.
Easy maintenance – just change the water every 2/4 weeks and a filter that takes a minute every 1/2 months.
Any-weather resilience and any-space compatibility
Smartphone control, pre-schedule, Consistent temperatures.
... or the closest it gets to the perfect plunge.
BUILT TO LAST, BUILT TO PERFORM: BUILT DIFFERENT.
Most other chillers on the market are clunky, don't perform, leak and don't last.
They'll try to lure you with looks or fakes. But they remain structurally different and you won't be nearly as thrilled once you learn what's behind the hood (or just behind a Plunge...).
We've taken a whole different approach here. We:
Test and innovate products 5+ times a year; our competitors do it once every year at best.
Design for core function, and performance shows.
Use military-grade tech and components; they make it look nice or "similar".
Listen to our customers actively.
... which brings to you the toughest, best-performing cold plunge chillers and ice baths on the market.
IT'S PERSONAL
Everyone has one thing they can get lost in.
For some, it's getting better at gardening; for others, it's becoming internet famous. For you, it's becoming the best version of yourself and optimizing your health.
For us, it's always been that + making the best cold plunge ever.
But it's also personal, and here's why:
We're a small team of obsessed engineers, designers, and health enthusiasts—and will always remain personal to every customer, request, order, and detail.
We double and triple-test every product.
We offer continuous support beyond timelines.
We're the only company that doesn't charge "restocking fees" (normally 15-30%)—that's how confident we are in our products.
Our main "Performance Indicator" is a Happy Customer, someone we helped, a kindred spirit.
Our Journey
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY.
Arctic Warriors was born in 2021, during a time when the pandemic forced the world to pause, and Stan's karate training, gym, and health coaching had to shut down.
Stan had been competing in Karate since the age of seven and practiced cold therapy and cold and contrast showers for over a decade before he built his first "DIY" cold plunge in 2017... a large stock tank in his garage to fill with ice bags (and previously just a freezer...)
Over the next years, this evolved to include a custom-built water chiller with the help of George, a young engineering student (and later Co-Founder of Arctic Warriors). George realized he could reverse-engineer home heating and cooling systems specifically for cold plunging.
As they both found themselves tweaking the design over and over, and as the pandemic had struck and had their backs against the wall, it all made sense. They saw a gap and wanted to create the world's best water chiller for cold plunging.
But at first, it wasn't a commercial solution. It worked well, but also required maintenance, patience and skill to operate safely. After all, it still was something they had built in their garages.
FIRST, WE ASKED QUESTIONS
To create a production-ready design, Stan and George knew they had to step up.
Driven by customer feedback and rigorous comparisons to existing market solutions, they went through dozens of prototypes and iterations.
The issues with other systems were clear:
Too Heavy: Many existing solutions were cumbersome and difficult to handle.
Difficult to Set Up and Operate: Complicated installation and operation processes made them user-unfriendly.
Cheap Materials: Many systems sacrificed longevity and performance by using inferior materials.
Looks Over Function: Some prioritized aesthetics over functionality, often at an exorbitant price.
... and above all, these systems would often fail to chill water quickly and consistently in hotter climates or even overall.
NEXT, WE WORKED SUPER HARD ON OUR PRODUCTS
After identifying the main shortcomings of existing water chillers and plunge systems, we implemented a series of significant improvements to our designs.
Most notably, our chillers feature the ArcticFlow™ Rapid Cooling system: an innovative technology that enhances air exchange and water flow efficiency by up to 50%. By integrating the latest compressors and chipsets, technology and refining numerous individual components and materials, we've achieved a remarkable performance boost.
Key Innovations Include:
The Latest Dual-Compatible Compressors (R420 and R32): Tested to perform up to 40% better and last 60% longer than conventional compressors.
Titanium Heat Exchangers: Ensure maximum heat transfer, longevity, and resistance to corrosion.
L-Shaped Condensers: Reduce loss, improve efficiency, and decrease maintenance requirements.
Reinforced Hoses, Wheels, and Extra Handles: Enhance durability and ease of use.
Higher-Quality Inner Components: Utilize superior materials for better performance and longevity.
Powder-Coated Finish: Reduces scratches and maintains a pristine appearance.
TO GET THINGS RIGHT, WE HAD TO FOCUS ON WHAT'S RIGHT
We could've had a bigger, fancier office... We could've aimed to be big, hire staff and big managers, open more physical stores and showrooms and what not...
But we don't and won't.
Our direct-to-consumer model eliminates unnecessary costsassociated with traditional retail, such as physical store overheads, rent, and inflated taxes and salaries. We don’t use middlemen.
These savings are then passed directly to you, the customer, and allow you to avoid the way higher price we'd have to put on our products to afford the luxury of performance and quality.
The Arctic Warrior is only built to be the #1 solution for cold plunging at home. No compromises.
A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDERS
"In my quest to push my body beyond its limits, I discovered the transformative powers of ice baths for quicker physical and mental recovery. With George's help, we brought it to the world.
It is a dream come true for both of us to bring Arctic Warriors to the brand and community that it is today. We faced challenges, sceptics, and countless iterations. But our passion transformed the concept of cold plunge at home. We've reimagined it into something that's not just elite but also effortlessly practical, efficient and affordable. Thank you, everyone—partners, experts, team, and community of Arctic Warriors—for the love and trust."
