YOU'RE GUESSING.
How often should you cryo? Sauna? Red light? Most studios sell you a door code and hope you figure it out — then wonder why you quit by February.
We score you instead.
The app assesses your starting number, builds your routine, and reassesses. You're not buying access. You're buying a number that gets better.

Sound Familiar?
❌ You pick services by vibe — no baseline, no proof.
❌ Frequency is a guess. Consistency dies by week three.
❌ Other studios sell a door code. You quit by February.
❌ You paid for access. You never bought a result.
The problem isn't willpower. It's that nobody scored you — so you kept guessing.
How It Actually Works
Stop buying hope. Buy a measured loop: test → routine → retest.
STEP 1
WE TEST
Baseline before you use the floor
Get your starting Wellness Score first. No more walking in blind and hoping cryo "feels right."
STEP 2
THE APP BUILDS YOUR ROUTINE
Daily. Adjusts with you.
Your plan isn't a PDF brochure. The app builds the cadence, mixes modalities, and keeps you from winging it.
STEP 3
WE TEST AGAIN
Reassess. Prove the number moved.
Re-score on a schedule. Keep what works. Kill what doesn't. That's how guessing ends.

Wow! Went in for cryotherapy and stayed for red light therapy, full body massage chairs & a spinal stretch table that gave so much relief to my compression. Claire and Sam were very friendly and incredibly helpful in explaining everything. Can’t wait for my next session. Cryo is only 3 minutes so it doesn’t really require an appointment- the chairs and table are are 1st come 1st serve but the other services may need to be booked in advance but I was lucky enough to spend almost 2 hours there as a walk in.

A Hot Place to Chill has been a God send for me! I struggled with a wound that was open and draining post surgery for 3 months that just would not close. I tried red light panel and it was amazing! After 2 weeks the wound stopped draining and closed and began to scab over! For inflammation, pain and muscle recovery check out all of the other wonderful things they have! You will benefit greatly!!

A Hot Place to Chill is a real game changer for my pain management! I use the compression and red light therapy 2 days a week. With each session I have 2 days of being pain free. I highly recommend that you try it for yourself!

AHPTC is exactly what we have been looking for ! Actually it’s been more, Initially we were looking for cryotherapy with compression therapy, I have PSA and have been successfully incorporating cryotherapy into my holistic treatment plan in order to keep PSA from flaring. I needed to find a place a reasonable distance to our new home. With the help and guidance of Matt I have added red light therapy and massage into my plan and so far I am loving it and the facility. It is clean, very appealing to the eye and everyone has been extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend!

This place is awesome! So happy to have all these wellness tools right here in New Buffalo, making it easier to invest even more in my health and longevity!! As 40+ mile/week runner my favs are the leg compression and red light therapies, the infra red sauna, and the cryotherapy!

I wanted to try out A Hot Place to Chill. They were very nice and have me a trial on their infrared sauna. It worked great. The facility was spotless and had a very good feeling.
