Cryotherapy
How cold is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
The chamber operates at extremely cold temperatures, but sessions only last approximately three minutes.

That depends on your goals. Some clients visit occasionally while others include cryotherapy in their weekly recovery routine.
Can I exercise afterward?
Yes. Most clients immediately return to normal activities.
Is cryotherapy better than an ice bath?
