Cold Forge started with two young French founders, Tanguy and Shailesh, who met in the United States after both going through injury and rehab.
What began as recovery became a friendship. Far from home, both speaking French, both trying to get back to training — and both frustrated by how complicated real recovery had become.
We built Cold Forge for athletes, founders, and high-performers who want something simple, powerful, and ready at home — no friction, no compromises.
“We didn’t want another ice bath. We wanted something we would actually use every day.”
