Step 01 of 06 — Recovery Vision
What Are You Building?

Select the recovery infrastructure that fits your mission. This shapes every question that follows.

Cold Plunge
Precision cold water immersion. Engineered for performance recovery, mental resilience, and physiological adaptation.
🔥
Sauna
Heat therapy and recovery. Traditional Finnish, infrared, or steam — configured for your facility and user load.
Combined Unit
Sauna and cold plunge in a single integrated system. The MCR flagship — contrast therapy at full capability.
MCR Flagship
📦
Deployable Container Unit
Full recovery infrastructure in a standard 10', 20', or 40' shipping container. Field-ready. Mission-ready. Any Clime and Place.
Field Deployment
— Cold Plunge Configuration Installation Type
Above Ground
Freestanding unit sitting on the floor. Flexible placement, no structural modification required.
In-Ground / Recessed
Basin set into the floor. Seamless deck-level finish. Requires structural rough-in.
Semi-Recessed
Partially set into the floor. Compromise between aesthetics and installation complexity.
Simultaneous User Capacity
1 Person
Single-person plunge. Standard for most residential and boutique installs.
2 – 3 People
Duo or small group. Popular for athlete recovery and partner training facilities.
4 – 6 People
Group plunge. Ideal for team recovery, military units, and community wellness.
7+ People
Communal scale. High-throughput facilities and large group deployments.
Estimated Daily Sessions
1 – 10
Residential or small private group.
11 – 30
Boutique studio or small facility.
31 – 75
Mid-volume commercial facility.
76 – 150
High-throughput facility or multi-unit deployment.
150+
Flagship or large-scale operational deployment.
Target Water Temperature Range
33° – 40°F
Elite performance recovery. Maximum physiological adaptation.
40° – 50°F
High performance standard. Most common for athletic and veteran recovery.
50° – 60°F
Moderate cold. Accessible for general wellness and introductory protocols.
Adjustable Range
Variable temperature control for multi-protocol or mixed-user environments.
Cold Plunge Details
Grounded copper is our recommendation for antimicrobial properties and longevity.
— Sauna Configuration Sauna Type
Traditional / Finnish
Wood-burning or electric. High heat, low humidity. The gold standard of heat therapy.
Infrared
Lower ambient temp, deeper tissue penetration. Popular for recovery and medical contexts.
Steam
High humidity environment. Ideal for respiratory benefit and spa-focused facilities.
Combination
Two or more modalities in a single unit. Select which systems you'd like combined below.
Sauna Details
How many people will use the sauna simultaneously?
Primary interior wood species for the sauna bench and walls. Each species has distinct thermal, aromatic, and aesthetic properties.
Western Red Cedar
Aromatic, naturally antimicrobial, and highly rot-resistant. The classic sauna choice.
Hemlock
Smooth, light, and odor-neutral. Ideal for those sensitive to cedar's aroma.
Nordic Spruce
Traditional Scandinavian sauna wood. Light tone, tight grain, excellent heat response.
Alder
Soft, even grain with a warm reddish tone. Low resin, comfortable to the touch at high temps.
Aspen
Light, nearly white wood. Hypoallergenic and odorless — excellent for medical and wellness contexts.
Thermo-Aspen
Heat-treated aspen with enhanced stability and moisture resistance. Premium finish, stays cool to the touch.
Combination
Mix species for different surfaces — e.g. cedar benches with hemlock walls. We'll discuss options at consultation.
Help Me Decide
Not sure which wood is right for your build? We'll walk you through the options based on your environment and goals.
— Container Configuration Container Size
10' Container
Most compact deployable unit. Rapid deployment, minimal footprint. Capacity confirmed during consultation.
20' Standard
Mid-scale mobile recovery suite. Expanded capacity with full mechanical room and support systems.
40' Extended
Full recovery infrastructure. Multiple stations, locker space, and expanded mechanical room.
Interior Configuration
Cold Plunge Only
Dedicated cold water immersion with full chiller and filtration system.
Sauna Only
Heat therapy with ventilation and bench configuration.
Combined Unit
Full contrast therapy — sauna and cold plunge in a single container.
Deployment Type
Permanent Installation
Set once, stays in place. Utility connections made on site.
Semi-Permanent
Relocatable but not frequently moved. Seasonal or multi-year deployments.
Fully Mobile
Regular relocation. Trailer-mounted or containerized for rapid deployment.
Field Conditions
Available power supply at the deployment site. Self-contained units include onboard power generation — no external source required.
Primary operating environment for the unit.
How many container units are needed for this deployment?
Type of organization requesting the deployment.

Step 02 of 06 — Facility
Facility Type & Usage

The environment and daily user load shape every engineering decision — from chiller capacity to filtration cycle rate.

Facility Type
Military / Base Gym
Active-duty installation, base fitness facility, or SOCOM unit.
VA / Veteran Org
VA center, veteran-serving non-profit, or transition program.
Athletic / Performance
Commercial gym, sports team facility, or recovery clinic.
Spa / Wellness
Hotel, resort, day spa, or wellness center.
Private / Residential
Personal installation for home or private use.
Other / Mixed Use
Multi-purpose or unique environment.
Step 03 of 06 — Space & Footprint
Space & Footprint

Rough dimensions are all we need at this stage. A formal site assessment follows before any specs are finalized.

Approximate floor length at the intended install location.
Approximate floor width at the intended install location.
Installation Environment
Fully Indoor
Climate-controlled interior space.
Covered Outdoor
Covered patio, awning, or open-air structure.
Open Outdoor
Fully exposed — weatherized build required.
Step 04 of 06 — Timeline & Consultation
Timeline & Next Steps

How MCR Approaches Project Cost

We don't take orders. We ask the right questions, understand your mission, and engineer a solution that fits. This brief starts that conversation.

Due to the complexity and range of configurations we offer — across materials, capacity, site conditions, modalities, and deployment environments — project cost is provided following your consultation. Every proposal reflects the precision of your specific build.

Your MCR consultation is not a sales call. It is an engineering conversation. We arrive prepared, ask the right questions, and leave with everything we need to deliver an accurate, detailed proposal.

Constraints, existing infrastructure, partners involved, or project context.

Additional Notes
A Note on Scope, Timeline & Cost

The selections you've made here form the foundation of your project brief. Once confirmed and signed, your choices drive every engineering decision, material order, and build schedule that follows.

Scope changes after confirmation — including modifications to capacity, materials, configuration, or site conditions — require revised engineering, updated documentation, and in some cases new permitting. This can meaningfully extend your timeline and increase project costs.

MCR will provide a formal timeline and cost proposal only after your selections have been finalized and confirmed in writing. By submitting this brief, you acknowledge that you've reviewed your selections and understand that changes following confirmation are subject to additional time and cost.

We're committed to delivering your project on time and on budget. That commitment works best when we move through the process together — clearly and decisively.
