Centurion Ice Bath

Best For: High-performance athletes, wellness centers, and home users who want a top-tier, upright plunge tub with commercial-grade quality.

With precise temperature control (from 3°C to 42°C), a sleek stainless-steel finish, and powerful chilling capacity, it delivers a fully immersive cold therapy experience suitable for professionals and serious recovery enthusiasts alike.
