## FAQ

**Who runs it day to day?** Your existing team. The space is automated and works as an extension of what your staff already do. Contrast Collective trains them and provides manuals.

**Does the space already exist?** Yes, you can experience contrast therapy today in the demo unit in Austin.

**What does my site need?** A prepared pad of 450 sq ft once expanded, plus exterior areas, with power and water connections and the permits for your location. Typical site work starts around $18,000.

**How much can I earn?** It depends on traffic, pricing and membership mix; some venues run it as a guest amenity rather than a paid service. The estimator on the page is an illustration.

**Is the $249,000 price final?** It is the list price, delivered and installed. Site preparation, permits and taxes are separate; software, spare parts and renewals are billed separately.

**What does financing look like?** Arranged through a partner and subject to credit approval; rate and term on the page are estimates until the proposal.

**Can we host a space instead of buying?** For some venues, yes. Partnerships are custom agreements worked through in a conversation.
