Ice Gurus + Pittsburgh TubClub

Visionary leaders in the Pittsburgh wellness community, Pittsburgh Tub Club founders Eric and Tyler join us for early morning ice plunges to awaken your senses and help give you the foundational support of a regulated nervous system to begin your journey with. 


Specializing in cultivating community, Eric is the foundation of TubClub, ensuring operations are running smoothly. While building quick connections with participants to make them feel at home, Eric creates a safe place for people to challenge their own fear responses. As a facilitator, he helps individuals find their breath and gain confidence in their strength through the cold exposure experience. 


Tyler is a health coach specializing in embodiment practices - mindful self-regulation, nervous system awareness, interoception, proprioception, balance, and stress resilience. He has an MS in Health Education. During a typical ice bath experience, Tyler works with participants to co-regulate and help them feel their inner power. He has equipped thousands of people with the tools to improve their quality of life.


What is TubClub?


TubClub is an accessible weekly event designed to give participants a chance to embrace their inner power and share in community with others interested in self-empowerment. Far more than learning theory, participants learn via direct experience by exposing themselves to the potent sensation of ice water. They rely on their breath to transition themselves from a fight/flight reaction to a calmer state of deep presence. 


Tyler and Eric support you in stepping into your full power as you conquer the ice and embrace all that lies ahead.
