A private far-infrared sauna and cold plunge, side by side — contrast therapy to speed recovery, sharpen your focus, and build resilience in the Canary District.
Contrast therapy is one of the oldest recovery tools there is, and one of the most effective. Alternating time in a hot sauna with a cold plunge helps flush out fatigue, ease sore muscles, and leave you feeling clear-headed and calm.
At Elit Care in Toronto's Canary District, your session is completely private — one person at a time, in your own space. Step into a far-infrared sauna kept at 55–65°C, then into a cold plunge held at 5–10°C, and move between hot and cold at your own pace. Book a single drop-in, or buy a package and make recovery part of your routine.
A far-infrared sauna (55–65°C) paired with a cold plunge (5–10°C) to boost circulation, recovery, and energy — the real thing, not a novelty.
Your own space, one person at a time — no crowds, no sharing. New to it? There's a short instructional video before your first visit.
Add it to a massage, physio session, or training day and feel the difference.
Reserve a private sauna and cold plunge session online in a couple of minutes.
We'll walk you through the hot-cold cycle — how long in the sauna, how cold the plunge, and how to get the most from it.
Come back regularly — packages of 4, 8, or 12 sessions make it easy, and the benefits compound with consistency.
Book directly with any of our registered practitioners — or browse the full team.
You alternate between the heat of the sauna and a cold plunge. The hot-cold cycle stimulates circulation and helps your body recover, which many people feel as reduced soreness, more energy, and a calmer, clearer head.
If you're looking for an ice bath or cryotherapy in Toronto, our cold plunge gives you what you're really after — intense, whole-body cold that speeds recovery and builds resilience — in a clean, private setup. Paired with the sauna, it's true contrast therapy.
Drop-ins are $35 for 45 minutes or $40 for 60 minutes, plus HST — private and single-person. Packages bring the price down: 45-minute packages are $135 / $225 / $300 for 4 / 8 / 12 sessions, and 60-minute packages are $150 / $260 / $310. Full details at elit.care/contrast.
Your session is completely private — just you. Your room has a private infrared sauna, a cold plunge tub, a rinse shower, and a Bluetooth speaker for your own music or podcast, plus hooks, a jewelry dish, and a biodegradable bag for wet clothes. Bring a towel, water bottle, and swimwear — we'll walk you through the hot-cold cycle (there's a short instructional video too) and take care of the rest.
It varies by person and goal — many people come 1–3 times a week. We'll help you find a rhythm that fits your recovery and schedule.
We're in the Canary District at 412 Front St E, in east downtown Toronto — steps from the Cooper Koo YMCA and minutes from the Distillery District and Corktown.

I've gone to a few different massage therapists for running-related maintenance. My experience with Michael has been fantastic and is the reason I've stayed with Elit for the last 2 years.
Always a great experience with all of the staff from Elit Care! Hands down the best clinic I've ever gone to. I would absolutely recommend with no hesitation.
I can't say enough good things about the massages I've received from Margo at Elit Care. She has helped me with my back so many times, and every session is truly incredible.
Jade is a thorough RMT who pays so much attention to detail and to the client's comfort level. Elit Care is a highly reputable facility.
Brenda is an excellent RMT — I always leave feeling better than when I walked in.
