A Hot Place To ChillWhole Body Cryotherapy in New Buffalo
Whole body cryotherapy is about 3 minutes standing in very cold, dry air. It is cold air, not a plunge, so you stay dry and can get on with your day.
Many guests report they walk out feeling refreshed and looser, and some people find it may help them feel less sore after a long drive, a round of golf, or a workout.
What is a visit like?
- You check in at the front desk and change. Robes are available so you can move between services easily.
- You step into the cryotherapy chamber for a timed 3-minute session. The air is very cold and dry. Most people find the first minute the hardest.
- When the timer ends, you step out, warm up, and move on to heat, light, or compression if you are doing a full visit.
How long does it take?
3 minutes in the chamber. A full visit with heat, light, and compression is about an hour.
How much does it cost?
This is one of our core services. It is part of the Day Pass ($67): one visit with cold air, heat, light, and compression, about an hour. Visitors staying longer can choose the Week Pass ($99) or Month Pass ($200). Locals can choose Monthly All Access ($175 a month) or Longevity Paid in Full ($1,750 a year).

Questions guests ask
Is your cryotherapy a plunge?
No. Our cryotherapy is very cold, dry air, not a plunge. You do not get wet.
How long is a cryotherapy session?
A session at our studio is 3 minutes. Many guests pair it with heat, light, and compression for a visit of about an hour.
What should I do before cryotherapy?
Make sure your skin is completely dry. Damp skin or damp clothing raises the risk of cold injury. If you have been sweating, dry off fully first.
Does cryotherapy help with soreness?
Some people find it may help them feel less sore for a while, and many guests report feeling refreshed. Research on cold-air cryotherapy is small, so we do not promise results. It does not replace care from your doctor.
Who should not do cryotherapy?
Please talk to your doctor first if you have heart, blood pressure, circulation, or lung problems, Raynaud's, nerve damage, or allergy symptoms triggered by cold, or if you are pregnant.
