Um what inspired you Greg to to launch the vibe? So I was going through launch the vibe? So I was going through launch the vibe? So I was going through some stuff in 2023

04:00

some stuff in 2023 some stuff in 2023 and this I found contrast therapy is and this I found contrast therapy is and this I found contrast therapy is really the only way to calm my mind really the only way to calm my mind really the only way to calm my mind and know that I have a mind that thinks and know that I have a mind that thinks and know that I have a mind that thinks on lots of different subjects at all on lots of different subjects at all on lots of different subjects at all times. And this particular is the one times. And this particular is the one times. And this particular is the one thing that I can be present in the thing that I can be present in the thing that I can be present in the moment and focused. And so it was like moment and focused. And so it was like moment and focused. And so it was like it was a no-brainer for me because I it was a no-brainer for me because I it was a no-brainer for me because I want to bring this to other people as an want to bring this to other people as an want to bring this to other people as an art science to content that no longer. >> Wow. >> Wow. By the way, I'm not going to lie, this By the way, I'm not going to lie, this By the way, I'm not going to lie, this is hard to concentrate on this, but I is hard to concentrate on this, but I is hard to concentrate on this, but I I'm glad I'm glad we're doing this in I'm glad I'm glad we're doing this in I'm glad I'm glad we're doing this in real time. And it's also I got to tell real time. And it's also I got to tell real time. And it's also I got to tell my audience here, normally I have my my audience here, normally I have my my audience here, normally I have my questions in front of me with a questions in front of me with a questions in front of me with a teleprompter, but this is why I'm teleprompter, but this is why I'm teleprompter, but this is why I'm holding a phone and I am very very cold. holding a phone and I am very very cold. holding a phone and I am very very cold. Now, Greg, you didn't come from the Now, Greg, you didn't come from the Now, Greg, you didn't come from the wellness industry. You came from the wellness industry. You came from the wellness industry. You came from the automotive industry. So, what made you automotive industry. So, what made you automotive industry. So, what made you pivot from the automotive to to this

05:00

pivot from the automotive to to this pivot from the automotive to to this industry? Uh industry? Uh industry? Uh like I said, I found contra therapy is like I said, I found contra therapy is like I said, I found contra therapy is something that helped me get my monkey something that helped me get my monkey something that helped me get my monkey way. But then also coming from an way. But then also coming from an way. But then also coming from an engineering background, I wanted to engineering background, I wanted to engineering background, I wanted to really engineer the best place possible really engineer the best place possible really engineer the best place possible for people. So our saw was engineered in for people. So our saw was engineered in for people. So our saw was engineered in with airflow in mind. Um the way that with airflow in mind. Um the way that with airflow in mind. Um the way that the building is structured, we don't the building is structured, we don't the building is structured, we don't have any have any have any hallways. Got one very small hallway. We hallways. Got one very small hallway. We hallways. Got one very small hallway. We don't have doors. So it's a very open don't have doors. So it's a very open don't have doors. So it's a very open concept. You can see everything from the concept. You can see everything from the concept. You can see everything from the sauna. So I wanted to bring that design sauna. So I wanted to bring that design sauna. So I wanted to bring that design philosophy of cars or or luxury philosophy of cars or or luxury philosophy of cars or or luxury automotive into this and that's really automotive into this and that's really automotive into this and that's really why I decided to pivot. So purely why I decided to pivot. So purely why I decided to pivot. So purely selfishly selfishly selfishly it helped me. I wanted to help other it helped me. I wanted to help other it helped me. I wanted to help other people. I'm always up for a challenge. people. I'm always up for a challenge. people. I'm always up for a challenge. I'm always up for doing something new I'm always up for doing something new I'm always up for doing something new and this has just been a really great and this has just been a really great and this has just been a really great thing to do and so that's that's the thing to do and so that's that's the thing to do and so that's that's the reason for the pivots. Now, throughout reason for the pivots. Now, throughout reason for the pivots. Now, throughout the interview, we've been showing the interview, we've been showing the interview, we've been showing location and visual. You've been giving

location and visual. You've been giving location and visual. You've been giving a a good tour. This was built from the a a good tour. This was built from the a a good tour. This was built from the ground up. What makes this layout ground up. What makes this layout ground up. What makes this layout different? different? different? >> Um, brilliant question. >> Um, brilliant question. >> Um, brilliant question. Really, what makes this different is we Really, what makes this different is we Really, what makes this different is we have a fully functioning coffee shop. We have a fully functioning coffee shop. We have a fully functioning coffee shop. We have a treatment room that is a standard have a treatment room that is a standard have a treatment room that is a standard size treatment for physio, cardioology, size treatment for physio, cardioology, size treatment for physio, cardioology, and all sorts of other treatments. Our and all sorts of other treatments. Our and all sorts of other treatments. Our sauna is designed like a stadium and sauna is designed like a stadium and sauna is designed like a stadium and you'll feel that when you go into the you'll feel that when you go into the you'll feel that when you go into the sauna in a little while. sauna in a little while. sauna in a little while. And here our tubs are actually at And here our tubs are actually at And here our tubs are actually at different temperatures. So what your different temperatures. So what your different temperatures. So what your listeners may not know is you're listeners may not know is you're listeners may not know is you're actually in our warmest time. >> And so we um we have different >> And so we um we have different temperatures of tubs. Um temperatures of tubs. Um temperatures of tubs. Um and that's what makes us very very and that's what makes us very very and that's what makes us very very unique in this space. unique in this space. unique in this space. >> Why did you choose contrast? uh therapy >> Why did you choose contrast? uh therapy >> Why did you choose contrast? uh therapy as a whole experience. And by the way, as a whole experience. And by the way, as a whole experience. And by the way, I'm going to add this as context. Some I'm going to add this as context. Some I'm going to add this as context. Some of the questions that I ask you, you of the questions that I ask you, you of the questions that I ask you, you might have answered, but I'm I'm

might have answered, but I'm I'm might have answered, but I'm I'm purposely asking again and again because purposely asking again and again because purposely asking again and again because I really want to expand on certain I really want to expand on certain I really want to expand on certain things. things. things. >> I apologize to my audience and you in >> I apologize to my audience and you in >> I apologize to my audience and you in advance, but I just like to really advance, but I just like to really advance, but I just like to really emphasize certain things. But why did emphasize certain things. But why did emphasize certain things. But why did you choose contrast therapy as a core you choose contrast therapy as a core you choose contrast therapy as a core experience? experience? experience? Because this for me of every therapy Because this for me of every therapy Because this for me of every therapy that you do and I I I marathon run, I I that you do and I I I marathon run, I I that you do and I I I marathon run, I I cycle, I don't try to work out. Of every cycle, I don't try to work out. Of every cycle, I don't try to work out. Of every therapy that I can think of physically, therapy that I can think of physically, therapy that I can think of physically, this is the only one that you absolutely this is the only one that you absolutely this is the only one that you absolutely have to be present. There's no there's have to be present. There's no there's have to be present. There's no there's no error. There's no margin for error no error. There's no margin for error no error. There's no margin for error here. You have to be in yourself. You here. You have to be in yourself. You here. You have to be in yourself. You have to be in your body. You have to be have to be in your body. You have to be have to be in your body. You have to be focused. And that's why contrast therapy focused. And that's why contrast therapy focused. And that's why contrast therapy is so amazing. And it's completely drug is so amazing. And it's completely drug is so amazing. And it's completely drug free. You have everything inside your free. You have everything inside your free. You have everything inside your body to come and do this and we're built body to come and do this and we're built body to come and do this and we're built for this. for this. for this. >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> that's why I love it. >> that's why I love it. >> that's why I love it. >> Can you walk us through the science >> Can you walk us through the science >> Can you walk us through the science behind the hot cold exposure and why behind the hot cold exposure and why behind the hot cold exposure and why it's effective like sauna, the shower, it's effective like sauna, the shower,

08:00

it's effective like sauna, the shower, like you know the whole science of the like you know the whole science of the like you know the whole science of the different levels. different levels. different levels. >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So, um when you >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So, um when you >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So, um when you get in your when you get in the sauna, get in your when you get in the sauna, get in your when you get in the sauna, you activate your sympathetic nervous you activate your sympathetic nervous you activate your sympathetic nervous system, which is kind of your rest and system, which is kind of your rest and system, which is kind of your rest and digest. It's your relaxation. digest. It's your relaxation. digest. It's your relaxation. And what we're doing is we're getting And what we're doing is we're getting And what we're doing is we're getting that we're getting you then that we're getting you then that we're getting you then overly kind of stimulated in that hot overly kind of stimulated in that hot overly kind of stimulated in that hot environment. And that's when your body environment. And that's when your body environment. And that's when your body starts to panic. It starts to excrete starts to panic. It starts to excrete starts to panic. It starts to excrete all the toxins and that's happening all the toxins and that's happening all the toxins and that's happening through sweat. And then when you come through sweat. And then when you come through sweat. And then when you come into here, we activate your into here, we activate your into here, we activate your parasympathetic nervous system, your parasympathetic nervous system, your parasympathetic nervous system, your flight or fight scenario. And your brain flight or fight scenario. And your brain flight or fight scenario. And your brain is in panic. Your brain is flooding the is in panic. Your brain is flooding the is in panic. Your brain is flooding the body with epinephrine, with cortisol, body with epinephrine, with cortisol, body with epinephrine, with cortisol, with your stress hormone. And then when with your stress hormone. And then when with your stress hormone. And then when your brain relaxes, your brain should your brain relaxes, your brain should your brain relaxes, your brain should have started to relax from hopefully have started to relax from hopefully have started to relax from hopefully that re-uptake. And what we're doing is that re-uptake. And what we're doing is that re-uptake. And what we're doing is we're teaching the body with its own we're teaching the body with its own we're teaching the body with its own mechanisms to deal with stress. So

09:00

mechanisms to deal with stress. So mechanisms to deal with stress. So anybody that's having a stressful time anybody that's having a stressful time anybody that's having a stressful time or wants to recover physically, this is or wants to recover physically, this is or wants to recover physically, this is the thing you do. the thing you do. the thing you do. So elevator us feel why specifically the So elevator us feel why specifically the So elevator us feel why specifically the five temperature. five temperature. five temperature. >> So we know from all of the studies and >> So we know from all of the studies and >> So we know from all of the studies and one of our pillars is is based in one of our pillars is is based in one of our pillars is is based in science. We know from the studies that science. We know from the studies that science. We know from the studies that uh extended exposure especially for uh extended exposure especially for uh extended exposure especially for women in super cold temperatures is not women in super cold temperatures is not women in super cold temperatures is not good for them certainly through their good for them certainly through their good for them certainly through their industrial phases. industrial phases. industrial phases. So we set our temperatures, we set our So we set our temperatures, we set our So we set our temperatures, we set our temperatures differently depending temperatures differently depending temperatures differently depending mainly for women's health but also for mainly for women's health but also for mainly for women's health but also for mental health and for mental reset. We mental health and for mental reset. We mental health and for mental reset. We don't need to be up. 15° is absolutely don't need to be up. 15° is absolutely don't need to be up. 15° is absolutely okay and we want this to become part of okay and we want this to become part of okay and we want this to become part of people's lifestyle not a thing that they people's lifestyle not a thing that they people's lifestyle not a thing that they do because it's a fact. This is do because it's a fact. This is do because it's a fact. This is genuinely genuinely genuinely if you think in contrast there's roots

10:00

if you think in contrast there's roots if you think in contrast there's roots back to the Greeks 3000 BC humans have back to the Greeks 3000 BC humans have back to the Greeks 3000 BC humans have been doing this for 5,000 years using been doing this for 5,000 years using been doing this for 5,000 years using hot car as a therapy. It was only now hot car as a therapy. It was only now hot car as a therapy. It was only now just becoming understood what's going on just becoming understood what's going on just becoming understood what's going on in the body and that's the beauty of in the body and that's the beauty of in the body and that's the beauty of this. this. this. >> You segue perfectly into my next >> You segue perfectly into my next >> You segue perfectly into my next question. Some people think cold punches question. Some people think cold punches question. Some people think cold punches are bad. What is your take on that? Like are bad. What is your take on that? Like are bad. What is your take on that? Like honestly my take is and people people honestly my take is and people people honestly my take is and people people have often said to me you know what are have often said to me you know what are have often said to me you know what are you doing that's new and different and you doing that's new and different and you doing that's new and different and the answer quite simply is the way we the answer quite simply is the way we the answer quite simply is the way we deliver this yes there's something new deliver this yes there's something new deliver this yes there's something new about it with the different temperatures about it with the different temperatures about it with the different temperatures of tubs our guidance and our team of tubs our guidance and our team of tubs our guidance and our team absolutely amazing here the ability for absolutely amazing here the ability for absolutely amazing here the ability for us to do one-on-one sessions with us to do one-on-one sessions with us to do one-on-one sessions with customers and clients that's also unique customers and clients that's also unique customers and clients that's also unique but contrast therapy is thousands of but contrast therapy is thousands of but contrast therapy is thousands of years old and humans have been getting years old and humans have been getting years old and humans have been getting in cold water for centuries or or in cold water for centuries or or in cold water for centuries or or millennia. millennia. millennia. Here's a fun fact, boy.

11:00

Here's a fun fact, boy. Here's a fun fact, boy. It's no wonder that babies are born and It's no wonder that babies are born and It's no wonder that babies are born and they can swim, but they can't run they can swim, but they can't run they can swim, but they can't run because to avoid predators, humans used because to avoid predators, humans used because to avoid predators, humans used to give birth in running water before to give birth in running water before to give birth in running water before hospitals. So, we're built we're built hospitals. So, we're built we're built hospitals. So, we're built we're built for cold run water. for cold run water. for cold run water. That's just in our DNA. That's just in That's just in our DNA. That's just in That's just in our DNA. That's just in our nature. So, this we're just going our nature. So, this we're just going our nature. So, this we're just going back to where we were. It's brilliant. back to where we were. It's brilliant. back to where we were. It's brilliant. >> Wow. By the way, I I am getting a little >> Wow. By the way, I I am getting a little >> Wow. By the way, I I am getting a little bit used to this, but it's still full of bit used to this, but it's still full of bit used to this, but it's still full of empty Frankie. Um, empty Frankie.

Let's Let's pip it. >> Yeah, why not? Let's Let's pip it. >> Yeah, why not? Let's Let's pip it. >> So, you you have said you should get out >> So, you you have said you should get out >> So, you you have said you should get out of the tub to do a sauna. What's the of the tub to do a sauna. What's the of the tub to do a sauna. What's the process now? process now? process now? >> Yeah. Yeah. So, really, the best thing >> Yeah. Yeah. So, really, the best thing >> Yeah. Yeah. So, really, the best thing to do when getting out of the getting to do when getting out of the getting to do when getting out of the getting out of the tubs is to let your body warm out of the tubs is to let your body warm out of the tubs is to let your body warm itself up. Remember we said this is itself up. Remember we said this is itself up. Remember we said this is about biohacking. So what we really want about biohacking. So what we really want about biohacking. So what we really want to do is we want to now allow our body's to do is we want to now allow our body's to do is we want to now allow our body's natural systems to take place. Right? So natural systems to take place. Right? So natural systems to take place. Right? So what you'll start to feel is it'll be

12:00

what you'll start to feel is it'll be what you'll start to feel is it'll be bit crampy in your legs. It'll feel bit crampy in your legs. It'll feel bit crampy in your legs. It'll feel chilly. It'll feel cold. Your body is chilly. It'll feel cold. Your body is chilly. It'll feel cold. Your body is now firing itself up burning brown fat. now firing itself up burning brown fat. now firing itself up burning brown fat. And now it is your oven. Your internal And now it is your oven. Your internal And now it is your oven. Your internal oven is on. And that's what you want to oven is on. And that's what you want to oven is on. And that's what you want to do. So we want to always take that rest do. So we want to always take that rest do. So we want to always take that rest between and not rush between and not rush between and not rush >> between hot and cold. So now for us it's >> between hot and cold. So now for us it's >> between hot and cold. So now for us it's not rushing, taking our time. That's why not rushing, taking our time. That's why not rushing, taking our time. That's why your skin's a bit pink. So and that's your skin's a bit pink. So and that's your skin's a bit pink. So and that's absolutely normal. That's that's normal absolutely normal.

In a world increasingly focused on wellness and longevity, contrast therapy emerges as a powerful tool for recovery and mental clarity. This innovative approach involves alternating between hot and cold temperatures, a practice rooted in ancient traditions yet supported by modern science. By engaging in this ritual, individuals can cultivate resilience, enhance their physical recovery, and foster a sense of equilibrium in their lives.

At the forefront of this movement is Greg Aguilera, founder of Revive Wellness Club. Transitioning from the automotive industry to wellness, Greg has engineered a unique sanctuary that prioritizes both the science and experience of contrast therapy. With five temperature-controlled tubs and a community-centric approach, Revive offers an intentional space for guests to explore the myriad benefits of this therapeutic practice.

This is the only one that you absolutely have to be present. There's no margin for error here.

20 Number of planned Revive locations across Canada. 75 Minutes required for effective contrast therapy sessions. 2 Days of stress regulation benefits from a single session.

Introduction to Contrast Therapy

Contrast therapy is an ancient practice that has been utilized for thousands of years, dating back to the Greeks in 3000 BC. This method involves alternating exposure to hot and cold environments, which activates different physiological responses in the body.

When you immerse yourself in a sauna, your sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, promoting relaxation and detoxification through sweating. Conversely, transitioning to a cold plunge activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering a flood of stress hormones like epinephrine and cortisol. This dynamic interplay teaches the body how to manage stress effectively, leading to improved mental clarity and physical recovery.

Research indicates that just one session of contrast therapy can provide stress regulation benefits for up to two days. This makes it a valuable addition to any wellness routine. "Contrast therapy doesn't need to be arduous. It doesn't need to be a pain." — Greg Aguilera

Greg's Journey to Wellness

Greg Aguilera's path to founding Revive Wellness Club is both personal and transformative. After experiencing his own struggles with stress and mental clarity, he discovered the profound effects of contrast therapy.

As he explains, "I found contrast therapy is really the only way to calm my mind... it was a no-brainer for me because I want to bring this to other people." His engineering background informed the design of Revive, which emphasizes open spaces and airflow, creating a sanctuary where guests can feel at ease. Greg's vision is not just about physical recovery; it is about fostering a community that supports mental and emotional well-being.

Benefits of Contrast Therapy

The benefits of contrast therapy extend beyond mere relaxation. Engaging in this practice can lead to enhanced physical performance, reduced muscle tension, and improved overall resilience to stress.

As Greg notes, "What we are doing is quite extreme... but contrast therapy helps in both physical and mental." This duality is essential; the therapy not only aids athletes in recovery but also provides everyday individuals with tools to manage daily stressors. With only 75 minutes required for a session, the time investment yields significant returns, making it a practical choice for those seeking to enhance their longevity and quality of life.

Community and Experience

At Revive, community plays a vital role in the overall experience. The design of the facility encourages social interaction, allowing guests to connect with one another in a supportive environment.

Greg emphasizes the importance of this connection, stating, "We have connection with other people in the sauna... there’s no space for problems or stress in here." This communal aspect enhances the therapeutic experience, making it not just about individual recovery but also about fostering a sense of belonging. The addition of a coffee bar further enriches the experience, providing a space for guests to integrate their therapy and enjoy a moment of stillness after their session.

Future of Revive

Looking ahead, Greg envisions expanding Revive Wellness Club to 20 locations across Canada, with aspirations to create a mountain retreat that embodies the principles of contrast therapy.

Your body is now firing itself up burning brown fat. And now it is your oven. Your internal oven is on.

He dreams of building the world's first contrast therapy studio in a natural mountain setting, further enhancing the connection between nature and wellness. As he articulates, "We want to have 20 Revives across Canada... and build the world's first contrast therapy studio in a mountain site." This ambition reflects a commitment to not only advancing the practice of contrast therapy but also making it accessible to a broader audience.

Words Worth Hearing
