Customer reviews

What our customers say

I recently purchased a Shym Union 125 Sauna with a Harvia Wall heater and I could not be more pleased with the entire experience. From my very first enquiry in August through to delivery and installation in late October, the Shym team was consistently professional, responsive, and genuinely customer focused.

We purchased a summit sauna and love it. We were unsure if we wanted an electric or wood fire heater. We ended up going the wood fire Harvia m3 and so happy with this decision. Plus as an added bonus the pallet it came with was free fire wood for about 15 sauna sessions. The team at Shym sauna were very helpful and easy to work with.

I recently bought and built a Patio S sauna supplied by Shym saunas, together with a Humm Hive woodfired stove. I couldn't be happier with the end result. The whole process with the team at Shym was amazing, all the questions I had were answered promptly, from lighting, building and shipping questions to the mundane.. "what sealant should I use" I enjoyed building it too! Like a really big IKEA kit but way better quality!

Frequently asked questions

What temperature should an ice bath be?

Most cold plunge protocols recommend 10–15°C for general wellness and 5–10°C for athletic recovery. Start at a comfortable level and reduce gradually as tolerance builds.

How long should I stay in an ice bath?

Beginners should start with 1–3 minutes and work up to 10–15 minutes. Always listen to your body and consult a health professional if you have any medical conditions.

Are portable ice baths effective?

Yes. Portable ice baths are just as effective as permanent cold plunge tubs for achieving the benefits of cold water immersion, provided you reach the target temperature.

Can I use a cold plunge tub outdoors year-round in Australia?

Absolutely. In cooler months, outdoor temperatures help maintain cold water naturally. In summer, you'll need more ice or a cooling unit to maintain optimal temperatures.

What is the difference between an ice bath and a cold plunge tub?

An ice bath typically uses a standard tub filled with cold water and ice. A cold plunge tub is a purpose-built vessel with better insulation and ergonomic depth for full-body immersion.
