PRML is Calgary’s Newest Social Sauna and Cold Plunge Facility

PRML (pronounced Primal) is the newest hot and cold therapy facility in Calgary and is great for anyone looking for a place to wind down, recover after a workout, or just spend quality time with friends somewhere beyond the bar and restaurant scene on 17th Avenue S.W.

PRML is a sister brand to Rumble Boxing Studio and is located on the second level of Rumble’s 17th Avenue S.W. location. The sauna can host approximately 35 people, plus there are four individual cold plunge tanks (each tank can accommodate two people), a lounge area, and soon, breathwork and guided meditation classes. Swimsuits are required in the PRML facilities and guests can use the shared Rumble change rooms. Towels and water cups are provided, or you can bring your own non-glass water bottle with you. Tea and sparkling water are available from vending machines down below in Rumble.

Cissy Chen, founder and CEO of Rumble, says PRML is a more economical alternative to traditional spas, and is focused more on community.

“You feel comfortable, you know you can do your own thing, or you can connect with other people,” says Chen.

There’s no one way to flow — you can alternate between the hot sauna or cold plunge at your own pace. But for the newly initiated, you can also follow PRML’s recommendation of starting with 15 minutes in the sauna, followed by a quick shower rinse, then one to three minutes in the cold plunge (maximum of five minutes), a rest period in the tea lounge for five to 10 minutes where you’ll hydrate, and then repeat.

All visits are self-guided, one-hour sessions. There are drop-in passes and membership options available, some of which are combined with Rumble offerings and classes, making PRML an easy recovery option after any workout.
