Finding balance on and off the road

At Fire & Ice, we talk a lot about balance – the point where energy meets recovery, and fire meets ice. It’s what our sauna and ice bath sessions in Bristol are all about – helping people find calm, build resilience and feel their best through the power of contrast therapy.

This week, I’ve been testing that same idea of balance in a different setting – on the road. Thanks to our friends at Dick Lovett Bristol, I’ve had the chance to drive the new MINI Countryman John Cooper Works. As someone who spends most of his time surrounded by steam, cold plunges and conversation about wellbeing, it’s been a refreshing change of pace.

Between early-morning cold water therapy sessions, sauna-side meetings and the usual dash between our central Bristol wellness space and home, the MINI has been a surprisingly good fit – practical, energising and fun. A reminder that balance isn’t about slowing down completely – it’s about finding flow in every part of your day.

It’s been great to connect with another local Bristol business that shares our passion for movement, community and a life lived well.
