Breathe Degrees opens second San Diego location with cold plunge sessions

Breathe Degrees has opened its second San Diego location in Liberty Station, putting a 42-degree cold plunge, breathwork and sauna sessions under one roof for people who want the recovery ritual without setting up a tub at home. The new site makes the brand’s bundled format more visible in Point Loma, where recovery now fits into the same outing as dinner, errands or a night out.

The Liberty Station studio is built around a guided experience rather than a bare-bones ice bath. Breathe Degrees says the location offers breathwork, yoga, cold plunge, hot plunge and sauna sessions, and that first-time class attendees get science-backed demos and guidance. The Liberty Station listing goes further, describing the site as home to what it calls the world’s largest indoor cold plunge and a stadium-seating sauna, a setup that pushes the concept closer to a full contrast-therapy club than a single plunge tank.

That matters in a neighborhood like Liberty Station, which already draws steady foot traffic as a mixed-use destination in Point Loma. The former Naval Training Center San Diego first welcomed Navy recruits in 1923, then trained about 1.75 million recruits and 1 million A and C school sailors over its 70 years of operation before becoming the community there today. Breathe Degrees is stepping into a place that already has its own sense of movement, history and regular visitation.

The studio has also started leaning into the social side of recovery. A June 26 Breathe After Dark event at Liberty Station was billed as a wellness party with a live DJ, sound healing, handcrafted mocktails, juice shots, cold plunges and sauna sessions. The mix shows how structured cold exposure is being sold in San Diego now: not just as a hard reset for athletes, but as a guided, design-forward experience that can anchor a neighborhood concept and keep people in the room longer.
