Whole Body Cryotherapy

A whole-body cryosauna session exposing the body to extreme sub-zero temperatures reaching minus 150 degrees Celsius for two to three minutes. The rapid cold stimulus triggers a cascade of physiological responses including vasoconstriction, endorphin release, and activation of anti-inflammatory pathways. Sessions include protective gear, a safety briefing, and supervised exposure within the nitrogen-cooled chamber.

Cryo Fit's whole-body cryotherapy session uses a cryosauna chamber that surrounds the body in nitrogen-cooled air at temperatures reaching minus 150 degrees Celsius. The active cold exposure lasts between two and three minutes, during which skin surface temperature drops rapidly while core body temperature remains stable. This temperature differential is the trigger for the therapeutic response. When the nervous system detects the extreme surface cold, it initiates a survival-mode circulatory shift. Blood is redirected from the periphery toward the core organs, becoming enriched with oxygen and nutrients along the way. Upon exiting the chamber and returning to ambient temperature, peripheral blood vessels dilate and this enriched blood flushes back through muscle tissue, joints, and skin. The process promotes the release of endorphins and norepinephrine, producing the elevated mood and mental clarity that most users report immediately after a session. The anti-inflammatory response is driven by cold-induced changes in cytokine profiles. Studies on whole-body cryotherapy have observed reductions in pro-inflammatory markers including interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha following repeated sessions. While individual responses vary, many regular cryotherapy users report reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness, improved joint comfort, better sleep onset, and a sustained sense of physical and mental freshness. At Cryo Fit, first-time visitors receive a health screening questionnaire to confirm suitability for extreme cold exposure. Contraindications include uncontrolled hypertension, recent cardiac events, Raynaud's disease, and pregnancy. Protective gear is provided including gloves, socks, and ear coverings to shield extremities during the session. A trained operator supervises every session from outside the chamber, monitoring the client's comfort level and adjusting timing if needed. The total appointment takes approximately 15 minutes including changing time, the safety briefing for new clients, the two-to-three-minute active exposure, and a brief recovery period. Most clients are ready to resume normal activities immediately after the session. The facility's location within Evolve MMA makes it particularly convenient for athletes to add cryotherapy to their post-training routine, though sessions are open to anyone regardless of fitness background or gym membership.
