How Re-Surge Works at CrossFit Surge in Burlington, NJ

Re-Surge Services can be added onto a member's monthly membership for unlimited use or a member can access and utilize Re-Surge Services one session at a time.

What Re-Surge Services are Available

Cold Plunge - Cold plunging, or immersing the body in cold water after exercise, is a powerful tool for fitness recovery because it helps reduce muscle soreness, inflammation, and fatigue while promoting faster healing. The cold constricts blood vessels, which limits swelling and flushes out metabolic waste, and when the body rewarms, circulation increases, delivering fresh oxygen and nutrients to muscles. This process not only speeds up recovery but can also enhance resilience, improve mental toughness, and support a more consistent training routine by reducing downtime between workouts.

Sauna - Using a sauna after exercise supports fitness recovery by increasing circulation, relaxing muscles, and promoting the removal of metabolic waste through sweating. The heat causes blood vessels to dilate, improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles, which can accelerate repair and reduce stiffness. Saunas also help relax the nervous system, lowering stress and enhancing sleep quality both essential for recovery and performance. Additionally, regular sauna use has been linked to improved cardiovascular health, making it a valuable complement to training and overall well-being.

Other Re-Surge Services available by appointment only.  

Soft Tissue Release - Soft tissue release aids fitness recovery by reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, and accelerating the repair of microtears caused by intense training. By breaking up adhesions and stimulating blood flow, release delivers oxygen and nutrients to the muscles more efficiently while helping remove metabolic waste that contributes to soreness and stiffness. This not only decreases recovery time but also enhances flexibility, mobility, and overall muscle function. Additionally, soft tissue release can calm the nervous system and lower stress, supporting both physical recovery and mental readiness for the next workout.

Cupping - Cupping therapy supports fitness recovery by improving blood flow, loosening tight muscles, and promoting faster healing of soft tissues. The suction created by the cups helps draw fresh, oxygen-rich blood to the targeted area while stimulating lymphatic drainage to remove metabolic waste and reduce inflammation. This can relieve soreness, improve flexibility, and release deep muscular tension that builds up from intense training. Beyond the physical benefits, cupping can promote relaxation and stress relief, supporting overall recovery and readiness for the next workout.

Normatec Compression Therapy - NormaTec compression therapy enhances fitness recovery by using dynamic air pressure to massage the legs, hips, or arms, promoting circulation and accelerating the removal of metabolic waste like lactic acid.  By improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage, NormaTec helps athletes recover faster, maintain higher training intensity, and reduce downtime between workouts, making it a valuable tool for both performance and overall recovery.
