FAQs
Our chamber utilizes an electrically based cooling mechanism to achieve temperatures that range between about -115°F to -135°F, and can drop as low as -141°F. No nitrogen gas is involved in the process.
WBC is typically safe and, if done properly, has minimal risks or side effects. Our team is thoroughly trained to protect you, your experience, mitigate risk, and ensure an atmosphere of safety at all times.
Potential risks could include: anxiety, claustrophobia, frostbite or cold burns, allergic skin reactions, lightheadedness, fluctuations in blood pressure or respiratory rate, and difficulty breathing.
Contraindicated conditions can include, but are not limited to: uncontrolled hypertension, heart disease, seizure disorders, anemia, metal implants, severe asthma or COPD, Raynaud’s Syndrome (we have Raynaud's clients who are still able to use cryotherapy with use of extra protective gear), blood clots or DVT, healing/open wounds, active infections, pregnancy, fever, and extreme claustrophobia. You are also prohibited from entering the chamber with wet/damp skin or hair.
All clients must have a current waiver on file prior to utilizing services. Local cryotherapy sessions can be an alternative for these health related concerns.
The time in the chamber itself lasts a maximum of 4 minutes. Your WBC visit with us will also include compression therapy, localized cryotherapy, and the infrared sauna*. We recommend giving yourself about 30 minutes to fully enjoy your visit.
*WBC Groupon purchases only include up to 4 minutes in the chamber and 5 minutes in the infrared sauna. Upgrades to your Groupon can be made upon check-in if you wish to experience the rest.

Cryo: After a single visit, most people notice an increase in energy, better sleep, and a decrease in overall soreness. On average, most of our clients begin seeing increased results after 3 sessions done in close proximity and even greater changes after 5-10.
Bodywork: Most people will feel differences in their pain/stiffness/muscle fatigue in the days following their session. How long these results last is dependent on your activity/stress level, daily routines, and how often you receive bodywork.
Because everyone is different, our team will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for whatever your goals may be.
