We had the good fortune of connecting with Socratis Christoforou and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Socratis, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Honestly, it started because Breathwork and cold plunges changed my life. I felt better, clearer, stronger—and I thought, if this helped me, I know it can help others too. I didn’t overthink it. I just knew I wanted to create a space where people could feel that same shift. So I built it with my partners people who also believed in the mission.

Our thought process was simple—do what works, make it fun, and help as many people as possible.

What should our readers know about your business?
We’re a community-based wellness business focused on helping people become the best version of themselves through Cold Plunge, Breathwork, Red Light Therapy, and Sauna. What sets us apart is the community, we plunge together, sauna together, grow together. It’s not about doing it alone. It’s about doing it with others, side by side. That connection makes all the difference.

I’m most proud of the lives we’ve already impacted and excited about the millions more we will. Watching someone walk in stressed and walk out empowered never gets old.

How did I get here? By believing in myself. By setting 10X goals that scare me. By surrounding myself with a strong team and doing the work every day. It wasn’t easy but I never gave up. I faced every challenge with the mindset that there’s always a solution. And I always do what I say I’m going to do. That’s how you build trust with yourself and others.

What I want the world to know about our brand is simple: we’re here to wake people up. To help them feel again. To remind them of their power. Our story isn’t about cold water, it’s about transformation. This is The Space where lives change.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Day 1
We’re starting the trip with a sunrise on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Cold plunge in the ocean, light stretch, then breakfast. Workout at Rise.Fitness or CrossFit Fort Lauderdale. At night, we’re eating at Takato best vibe and sushi in town. We’ll wrap it up with live music and drinks at Tin Roof.

Day 2
We’ll hit the beach again, then cruise over to Healthy Glow Aesthetics for facials and massages. Afternoon walk on Las Olas, maybe grab a smoothie or juice. Dinner at Miso and live music at Culture Room to finish the night.

Day 3

Day 6
We’ll visit Flamingo Gardens or the Stranahan House to get a little nature or history in. Then hit the sauna, get some beach time in, and catch live music at the beachfront Sound Waves series if it’s running.

Day 7
Final morning walk on the beach. Cold plunge. Quick workout. Brunch at 15th Street Fisheries before the goodbye hugs. Maybe sneak in one last sauna session before you head out.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Absolutely. I owe a huge part of my growth to the 10X community and Grant Cardone, his book The 10X Rule changed how I think and act. I’ve also learned a lot from my mentors, Grant himself, Dan Fleyshman, and Maryl Celizpaz. I have to thank my parents for showing me what persistence looks like, and my wife for always standing by me and believing in the vision. None of this happens without their love and support.
