But ... WHY?!

Let me guess:

You've heard about the benefits, but HAAATE the cold. 

Plot twist - ME TOO! Yes, me, the person casually resting on an icy recliner. And that's exactly why this thing works.

When we challenge our fears and confront things we don't like, a sense of joy and confidence greets you on the other side. Instant empowerment mode. 

By folding in activities that stimulate the vagus nerve, you're effectively reprogramming your entire stress response.

We're talking increased stress tolerance, emotional resilience, and a long-lasting sense of ease that builds with practice!

Who's gonna be there? 

I'm Katie Tomaszewski, Integrative Health + Fitness Coach, and I'm your Chicago Cold Club host! In 2018, I (reluctantly) started embracing my fear of the cold, using that energy to supercharge all areas of my life. I began hosting cold exposure events and workshops the very next year and haven't looked back. 

Anyone is welcome to join! There is an emphasis on smart and safe group participation. So, we strongly encourage and assume you will use careful judgment and consult with your trusted healthcare professionals before joining us.

Those with cardiovascular concerns, epilepsy, and those who are pregnant or trying to conceive should take extra precautions when exposing themselves to the cold.

When + where?

We'll meet regularly and leave room to get spontaneous when we can!

The plan is to gather every Saturday but the time will vary, and sometimes the day will, too. Winter is full of surprises.

Events will be announced weekly by email, so it's essential to be on our list for updates. To attend, a waiver + participation agreement will be sent by email and signature will be required prior to joining us.
