About us

Polar Plunge began as a passion project, driven by Yang's personal journey toward health and mental clarity. Initially seeking ways to manage anxiety, Yang found himself drawn to the practice of cold plunging. His fascination grew after listening to the Joe Rogan podcast, where he first learned about the transformative effects of cold exposure and breathwork. This led him to study the teachings of Wim Hof, a pioneer in cold therapy and breathing techniques. Inspired by these insights, Yang decided to try it for himself. He started with ice baths in a simple plastic tub, which he quickly found beneficial but cumbersome for daily use.

While this practice brought him closer to the sense of well-being he was seeking, Yang noticed a gap in the market. At the time, there was no dedicated ice bath or cold plunge solution available in Malaysia. The lack of convenient and reliable products made it difficult for enthusiasts like him to regularly experience the benefits of cold plunging. That’s when the idea for Polar Plunge was born. Yang envisioned creating a product that was not only functional but also convenient, aiming to bring the benefits of cold therapy to people’s homes and lives.

Yang wasn’t alone on this journey. He teamed up with his friend and co-founder, Steven, whose expertise and shared passion complemented Yang’s vision. Steven, also inspired by the health benefits of cold plunging, brought a wealth of experience in product development and business operations to the table. Together, they spent countless hours researching, designing, and testing their product, ensuring it embodied a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and sleek design. Their efforts were not just about building a product but pioneering a wellness movement in Malaysia.

A year later, Polar Plunge launched its first product, becoming the first dedicated cold plunge system in the country. They filled the void that had long existed in Malaysia, offering a solution for athletes, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an easy and effective way to integrate cold therapy into their lives. As the company grew, they introduced innovative models like the Polar Pro (2) and the space-conscious Polar Mini, expanding their reach and catering to various lifestyles.

Today, Polar Plunge is not only a pioneer in the Malaysian market but also a prominent name across Southeast Asia. With their mission to help others find clarity and recovery through the power of cold therapy, they now deliver their products to most Southeast Asian countries, making cold plunging accessible and convenient for many. Polar Plunge stands as a testament to Yang and Steven’s vision, transforming an individual quest for well-being into a thriving business that inspires others to embrace the benefits of cold therapy.
