How cold does a cryochamber get?
Our cryotherapy chambers can reach temperatures as low as 150°F. Chilly, right? It’s absolutely chilly, but you will only stay in the chamber for a few minutes. This is all the time that’s needed for the cold to impact your blood circulation and recovery. When exposed to this kind of cold for a short period, your body responds positively.

It’s important to remember to listen to the cryotherapy experts during your session because prolonged exposure to these temperatures is extremely dangerous.
