There are many whole body cryotherapy businesses popping up everywhere. Most of them use walk-in chambers that perform anywhere from -110°F to -166°F. Our machines get significantly colder and can run up to -240°F. This makes a big difference!
Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses very cold temperatures either locally and in a highly-targeted way, or in a whole-body cryotherapy chamber for a therapeutic, healing effect.
When it comes to whole body cryotherapy the efficacy of the treatment is determined by temperature rather than time spent in the chamber. As temperature gets colder than -240F, we notice a dramatic increase in anti-inflammatory response. When it comes to whole body cryotherapy, skin temperature and the temperature of the chamber, not time spent in the chamber are the determining factors for efficacy. You can get the same skin temperature from an ice bath, or a cold plunge after a certain amount of time, but the physiological response of your body is very different. The key is to rapidly ‘flash freeze’ the body with extremely cold temperatures. Real whole body therapy at -220°F to -240°F is an extremely potent anti-inflammatory treatment.

Cryotherapy triggers anti-inflammatory responses in the body to keep your core warm. Because of this response, where blood concentrates toward the center of your body and outer tissues become constricted, cryotherapy is commonly used to reduce inflammation and pain. The benefits don’t stop there, either. Athletes have used cryotherapy for ages as a part of their sports medicine regimen to reduce muscle soreness. This use of freezing or near-freezing temperatures has also been used in weight-loss & anti-aging programs, mood enhancement, or even as an immunity boost.
A Total-Body Rush That Regenerates: Regardless of whether it is your first time experiencing cryotherapy, or your tenth time, as our client, you’ll receive top treatment and answers to all your questions along the way. We are certain you will receive one of the coldest freezes in Chicago. To your left, you will see a photo of 3000 liters of nitrogen that we have connected to our Cryo Chamber which gets it down to -240°F.
More Information: Our Whole Body Cryo is a 2-3 minute session. We will provide you with socks, gloves and a robe for your treatment. Once you step into our chamber you will remove your robe. After the session most clients feel an endorphin rush & pain relief. Cryo will take down inflammation and help with joint pain. It is also known to boost metabolism and promote sleep quality. The Cryo Chamber has a 350lb weight limit.

"So pleased with the service I received from the ladies today. I was totally stressed out, in need of some good endorphins. I was accommodated to the NEO bed and a cryo session no questions asked. I had no appointment. I know that wouldn’t be possible all the time but it really appreciated it today. They are always there to help me. Thanks again"!!!

"Let me just start off by saying Racie is a true boss on the massage table! I had a knot so big in my shoulder she was calling it my little brother lol. Not only was she easy to communicate with she was very intuitive as to what it was I was experiencing and able to take the right approach to get things feeling better. I did deep tissue and boy oh boy does she have hands the Vikings would respect. Let me tell you it was a good hurt though if you know how that goes. Never felt as if she was doing more damage than good and when it came to certain areas of current or past injuries she kindly eased up upon request. The atmosphere itself was one I had never experienced either. Not only did they have a perfect temped bed/room, the music was relaxingly enjoyable, and they also had this cool lighting that made it look like you were lost in the universe. Truly great experience with Racie!!!! Highly recommend!! Now as far as the rest of the place goes it was nothing short of top notch customer service. Anne, Brittany, and Sampson were all very accommodating and definitely made me feel very comfortable. They have many services that I had never experienced before and at no point did I feel pressured or rushed during each one. Each of them took the time to answer any questions or concerns that I may have had, making feel like I was in good hands. My Chicago CryoSpa visit was definitely one I won’t forget and my little brother is basically gone now!! Thanks again Racie"

"The rush after getting out of their cryotherapy machine was insane. Can’t think of a better way to start your day. It’s also way colder and seems more effective than other labs in the area. My number 1 pick in the Chicagoland area"!

"Absolutely love coming here! Ann and Staff are so friendly and create an atmosphere where I feel welcomed, comforted, and relaxed as soon as I walk in the door. They are a one-stop shop for all regenerative services. I regularly use both their NEO light bed and cryotherapy services and can honestly tell a difference right away with how I feel and look after each treatment. The CryoFacial is next level! I also really appreciate the individual care I receive as a client. The staff understands my specific wellness goals and suggests treatments that align with my individual needs. No pushy staff trying to sell you on another service while you’re just trying to relax and enjoy the service you already purchased. Speaks volumes about the Spa and the services you receive".

"Fantastic experience. I went there with a friend of mine. It was the first time for me. I was slightly anxious, but Sampson found the right words to make me feel at ease and professionally walked me through all the positive effects CryoSpa has on the body. We will be back for both the Cryo but mostly notably, for the staff's hospitality".

"Chicago CryoSpa is always a must-do on my weekly list! Sometimes even three times a week! There are a lot of Cryospas...but Jim Karas’ CryoSpa is the only one with a big Cryo tank. Cryo reduces my inflammation and is a definite mood enhancer. Directly after doing the Cryo tank I head right over to the infra-red bed. Advanced technology, clean, easy parking, and most of all a great staff make this the best CryoSpa in Chicago!”

"CryoSpa is just that. A Spa! From getting froze in the tube (yes it is different than stepping out into Chicago winters) to regenerating in red light therapy and freezing my face with some natural Botox with the cryo facial… the team goes above and beyond to understand and cater to your needs! Had a wonderful experience with the CryoSpa family"!

The welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and state-of-the-art cryotherapy treatments exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped in, the staff made me feel comfortable and guided me through the process with genuine care. Sampson did an amazing job in explaining the benefits and made the freezing process humorous and comfortable for the 3 minutes in the chamber. The spa's clean and modern facilities added to the overall positive experience. The cryotherapy session left me feeling rejuvenated, energized, and ready to conquer the day. Chicago CryoSpa is truly a gem, providing not just a service but a revitalizing journey for mind and body. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking wellness and a boost in overall well-being"

"Ann provided top notch service. Every aspect of the cryo procedure was explained and she made us feel like family from the second we walked in. Now for the treatment, if you live a busy lifestyle and the everyday aches and pains creep up on you then this is for you. I instantly felt better physically, my mood was great, and I had zero pain. This is a must for everyone to do. Make sure you visit Chicago cryo spa, you won’t regret it. Thank you".
Nathalie H
"I’ve been visiting the Chicago CryoSpa for almost a year now. The staff is super friendly and always very considerate of my needs. I used the Cryotherapy tank multiple times of week. I feel awesome when I’m done with a three minute session. It lifts my spirits. I recently started the Cryo T Shock treatments on my face. It does work as advertised. I’m super impressed. Who knew. Thanks to the lovely Ann for helping me make that decision".

I never thought I'd be such a fan of cold exposure therapy...(Literally planning a move out of Chicago because I hate the cold so much!) That said - I'm hooked on cryotherapy after being first introduced to it at CryoSpa. I was nursing a running injury leading up to the Chicago Marathon. Someone recommended I try cryotherapy. My response? "That sounds expensive..." (Turns out - it's much cheaper than acupuncture). Since getting regular cryotherapy, I've noticed lower inflammation, better digestion, and a HUGE endorphin boost! But why this location in particular? Because their owner Jim and their director Ann have high standards. And you can tell. Everything from the robes they give you to the equipment of the cryo chamber, the heat from the infrared sauna, and their new LED bed (I could write a whole review on that alone) - it's the best. I can't recommend this place enough.

I started w/a Groupon to treat a SLAP tear in my shoulder & for random sprains from sand v-ball. Tried the full body, then after Kendall explained the benefits of targeted cryo, tried that next. You feel some immediate relief post, but it was how amazing I felt post activity the following day that surprised me. It reduces recovery time. My shoulder & neck felt almost injury-free Ended up receiving gift cards for Xmas since I loved it so much. They run promotions frequently, I just bought a 50 pack. Ask for Kendall, she’s there on the weekends. She’s so knowledgeable & thoroughly explains the process.

An LET treatment with Stephanie is a master class in health and wellness. Her knowledge of the body and anatomy and especially, how critical the lymphatic system is to optimum health is fascinating—and life changing. I felt the changes in my body right away and the next day, couldn’t believe the change in my face! Thank you, Jim Karas for your expertise and taste and vision in giving us Stephanie and her LET treatments. From the incomparable Ann and the best staff in town to greet you, Chicago CryoSpa is a Chicago treasure!

Such friendly, informed and helpful staff made my visit to the CryoSpa amazing! Whenever I'm in Chicago, a quick freeze helps me recharge.

I had my first experience at Cryospa yesterday, directly following a 95 mile bike ride. As an avid cyclist and weight lifter, I'm always looking for new ways to apologize to my poor joints and muscles, so the concept of putting myself in a subzero tank for three minutes was both intriguing and exciting. I have to say, after being "frozen", and having some compression therapy, I woke up the next morning and my normally tired and achy legs felt amazing. One of the benefits of the cold therapy is rapid muscle recovery.

Ashley A
My mom and I were very impressed! We had such a great experience at Chicago CryoSpa! Great staff! Super clean and welcoming facility! Top notch equipment, and the first cryo center in Chicago! The founder is extremely knowledgeable around health and wellness and not only practices what he preaches, he writes books as well! My mom bought one and can’t put it down. We will 100% be back!!

They supply everything and the infrared helped me feel brand new. I usually just get a massage when I feel sore, but this was a great option when I couldn't get in to see my therapist. Clean, modern and helpful staff. They have a rainfall shower with shower gel and simple amenities, it was nice!

I can say that I have A LOT More energy for 24 hours after treatments. I also think that I am less sore the following day after a workout

Very friendly staff, clean space, and warm. Informative for first-time users and keep you company while in the WBC machine. Definitely keeps your mind off of the cold. You have my recommendation!
Heather W
The Cryo T-Shock is truly amazing! The T-Shock is the real deal! I did the full 5 treatments on my stomach and started to notice that my little pouch looked a bit tighter after my 3rd session... so I kept going.
Linda P
Great service! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Had hip replacement and the localized treatment helped immensely with after surgery pain. Whole body cryo great for my arthritis!
Anthony M
This is by far the best cryotherapy spa I've been to. Because of their large capacity liquid nitrogen tanks, CryoSpa is able to achieve really cold temperatures that makes the whole difference! Very highly recommended

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do Whole Body Cryo and the Infrared Sauna back to back?
Combining cryotherapy and infrared sauna therapy can enhance recovery and overall wellness. Cryotherapy reduces inflammation and pain through cold exposure, while infrared sauna therapy promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and aids detoxification with deep heat. Using cryotherapy to address acute issues and infrared sauna therapy for ongoing relaxation and muscle recovery can be a powerful combination.
How does whole body cryotherapy compare to other forms of cold therapy, such as ice baths?
Whole body cryotherapy uses much colder temperatures and shorter exposure times compared to ice baths. It aims to achieve similar anti-inflammatory and recovery benefits but in a more controlled and convenient manner.
Can whole body cryotherapy be used in conjunction with other treatments?
Yes, whole body cryotherapy can often be used alongside other treatments and therapies. It’s commonly combined with physical therapy, massage, and fitness regimens. Always inform your healthcare provider about all treatments you are undergoing.
How many cryotherapy sessions do I need? Will just one session help?
Yes, one session is enough to boost your energy, endorphins and adrenaline so you feel more energetic and focused. But we do recommend several sessions to ensure you continue to receive the full benefits.
Benefits of even a single Whole-Body Cryotherapy session include:
- Extra calories burned during and after treatment
- Boost in mood and energy levels
- Relief of pain and inflammation
- Enhanced sports recovery from hard workouts or competition
What should I expect in my first cryotherapy session?
You change into a cozy robe, fresh socks, slippers and warm gloves.
Women do not need to wear anything under the robe, but if you'd like to wear a bra, make sure it doesn't have an underwire. MEN MUST WEAR BOXERS OR BRIEFS.
You'll also remove or cover any piercings or jewelry.
Is cryotherapy actually safe?
Whole Body Cryotherapy has been used successfully for over forty years to boost the body's anti-inflammatory responses through brief exposure to ultra-low temperatures. Your head and neck remain exposed to room-temperature air. Only your body below the neck is exposed to cryotherapy's super-cooled vapors.
Trained CryoSpa Staff administer your treatment and remain present throughout.
The cryotherapy chamber does not lock. You're free to step out of it at any time.
HUGE end of year deal! 50% off all Cryotherapy Packages (excludes the one month unlimited). Available for purchase at special rate until 12/31/24. Sessions will never expire! $35 for your first Cryotherapy Session. Cryo packages can be used for Whole Body Cryo, Local Cryo and the CryoFacial.
