ReCovr by OpenBox Athletics
We are excited to launch Recovr by OpenBox Athletics!
Recovr is our program which helps you maximize your physical and mental recovery for all the hours you spend outside the gym (which is the majority!). we believe that your ability to recover from your workouts is just as important as your ability to recover from all of life’s stressors outside of the gym.
Recovr encompasses our yoga program as well as our brand new Recovr Suite, Normatec recovery boot systems, and physical therapy partners which reside in our 1935 Washington Avenue building.
THE RECOVR SUITE IS OPENING TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3rD! Booking will start the week before opening in Mindbody and our branded app!
Welcome to the RECOVR Suite
We designed our ReCovr suite to help you escape the outside world and sink into the relaxing and regenerative power of contrast therapy. The ReCovr suite is the only private recovery room of its kind in the neighborhoods we border, incorporating top of the line cold plunge and infrared sauna technology by ReGen Wellness and Sunlighten Saunas.
Your ReCovr suite session will start with cold therapy in our cold plunge followed by heat therapy in our sauna. We highly recommend allowing your body to adapt naturally to the contrasting temperatures, ie try not to rush straight into the sauna after getting out of the cold plunge.
Prior to starting your ReCovr session, we ask that arrive with your skin clear of sweat, oils, moisturizers, etc. Not only does this help maintain a clean environment for all guests, but it will also allow your skin to be more receptive to the contrasting temperatures.
The ReCovr room features a cold plunge that has industry leading, three stage filtration. The room also features sound dampening materials, a Brilliant light switch to control lighting and Sonos music, and a dedicated air purification system. We want you to be able to escape the outside world as much as possible when you come in, despite being just off a major thoroughfare in Philadelphia!
PLEASE NOTE - 25 minute sessions are booked in a 30 minute window and 50 minute sessions are booked in a 60 minute window

Welcome to the World of Cold Plunges
Discover the rejuvenating power of cold plunges—a time-honored practice that invigorates both body and mind. OpenBox Athletics is thrilled to provide a high-quality cold plunge solution designed to enhance your wellness routine and promote overall health.
What is a Cold Plunge?
A cold plunge involves immersing your body in cold water, typically between 45°F to 55°F (7°C to 13°C), for a short duration. This practice has been used for centuries in various cultures around the world for its therapeutic benefits.
Benefits of Cold Plunges:
1. Muscle Recovery: Cold plunges help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness after intense physical activity, making them popular among athletes.
2. Improved Circulation: The cold water stimulates blood flow, which can enhance circulation and promote cardiovascular health.
3. Mental Clarity: Many users report feeling more alert and focused after a cold plunge, attributed to the release of endorphins and increased oxygen intake.
4. Stress Relief: The shock of cold water triggers a natural stress response, leading to a reduction in stress hormones like cortisol.
5. Immune Boost: Regular cold plunges may strengthen the immune system by activating white blood cells and improving lymphatic circulation.
Welcome to the Healing Power of Infrared Saunas
Discover the therapeutic benefits of infrared saunas at OpenBox Athletics. We have partnered with Sunlighten Saunas, a family run US company based in the Midwest. Engineered to deliver a personalized wellness experience, the Sunlighten mPulse sauna combines cutting-edge technology with luxurious comfort to support your journey to better health.
What is an Infrared Sauna?
An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit radiant heat, which is absorbed directly into the body without significantly warming the surrounding air. This gentle, soothing heat penetrates deep into tissues, offering a range of health benefits.
The Sunlighten mPulse sauna is not just any sauna; it’s a sophisticated wellness tool designed with your well-being in mind:
· Customizable Therapy: Tailor your sauna session with six wellness programs—each targeting specific health goals such as detoxification, relaxation, pain relief, weight loss, anti-aging, and cardiovascular health.
· Full-Spectrum Infrared Technology: Harness the benefits of near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths for deeper penetration and maximum therapeutic benefits.
· Patented Solocarbon Heating Technology: Experience the healing power of our exclusive heating technology, which emits ultra-low EMF (electromagnetic fields) and achieves optimal infrared output for safe, effective detoxification and relaxation.
· Smartphone Integration: Control your sauna session seamlessly with our Android-powered tablet, allowing you to adjust settings, track progress, and even enjoy your favorite music or podcasts during your session.
Benefits of the Sunlighten mPulse Sauna:
1. Detoxification: Sweating in an mPulse sauna promotes the elimination of toxins, heavy metals, and other impurities from the body.
2. Pain Relief: Infrared heat penetrates deep into tissues, soothing muscles, and joints to alleviate pain and stiffness.
3. Stress Reduction: Relax and unwind as infrared heat calms the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting better sleep.
4. Skin Rejuvenation: Improved circulation and detoxification can enhance skin tone, reduce signs of aging, and promote a healthy glow.
5. Enhanced Cardiovascular Function: Infrared therapy may support heart health by improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.
