The process for guests from Balzheim
How it works!
Many first-time guests from Balzheim underestimate how uncomplicated a session is. No long preparation, no wet towel, no warm-up phase: you go in dry and come out dry. Here's what the process looks like in detail.
Getting ready
Change & get ready
Swimwear, hat, gloves, socks and a face mask – your skin stays dry and free of creams.
3 minutes at -110 °C
Into the cold
Dry cold down to -110 °C, evenly distributed by our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon).
Step out & feel it
Done. Now feel it.
Warmth, tingling, freshness: many feel the effect right after the very first session.
Chamber temperature
-110 °C
Duration
03:00 MIN
Good to know
Session lasting 3 minutes of dry cold at -110°C.
The difference: whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon) that circulates the cold air evenly around the body.
The cold penetrates about 1mm into the skin and stimulates the nerve endings – including the vagus nerve, which runs along the cervical spine, is positively stimulated by the cold.
The stimulus on the skin travels to the brain and can trigger the positive effects.
Dry cold in general triggers the release of adrenaline and the happiness hormone dopamine, as well as corticoids, for regeneration.
Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides can gradually normalize.
Even after the very first session you feel better, more at ease – a true mood booster. Already inside the cold chamber you can sense something happening in your body, and afterwards you feel reborn – an indescribable tingling on the skin, a feeling of warmth and a wonderful sense of relaxation follow.
You are professionally supervised throughout the session: we discuss your health situation beforehand, explain the process and stay in visual and verbal contact. We recommend 2–3 sessions per week.
Focus: Pain & Joints
Cold therapy for joint and back pain – for guests from Balzheim
Back pain, stiff joints, rheumatic complaints or tension after long working days are among the most common reasons guests from Balzheim and Alb-Donau-Kreis try whole-body cryotherapy. The dry cold at -110 °C dampens the transmission of pain signals and has an anti-inflammatory effect – without medication, without side effects in the classic sense. Many describe a noticeably lighter body feeling and greater freedom of movement after the session, which, depending on the starting point, can last several hours to days. Important: the cold chamber does not replace medical treatment, it complements it. If you have an existing condition, please talk to your doctor first.
Getting here from Balzheim is simple: über die Illertalstraße, 28 kilometres, roughly 27 minutes. Anyone coming regularly from Balzheim saves noticeably with a package. Balzheim liegt im Illertal auf württembergischer Seite. That makes the short trip to Memmingen doubly worthwhile. What brings people from Balzheim here is above all back and posture. Guests from Alb-Donau-Kreis often come during their lunch break or straight after work.
Demand from Balzheim peaks between October and March; booking early is worthwhile then.
- An anti-inflammatory impulse throughout the whole body
- More mobility in everyday life
- A sensible addition to physiotherapy
- Can be planned as a series for chronic complaints too

Your visit
How a visit at Kempterstraße runs
We schedule every appointment so that you can arrive calmly. On a first visit we take extra time for a short conversation, answer open questions and show you the chamber before you step in. You then decide whether to use the full three minutes.
During the session one of us stays in visual contact and talks to you through the intercom. Afterwards we recommend movement – a few minutes on the bike or a short walk is enough to get your circulation going again.
Arriving
About ten minutes early – changing room, short briefing, questions answered.
In the chamber
Up to three minutes, stoppable at any time, always supervised.
Afterwards
Movement, a warm drink and a short chat about how it felt.
Practical tips for Balzheim
How to plan your sessions
Rhythm for Balzheim
Guests travelling from Balzheim usually schedule two fixed appointments a week – often Tuesday and Friday. This rhythm has proven itself: enough stimulus for adaptation, enough spacing for recovery. In intense phases (competition, training camps, acute complaints), three to four sessions a week are also possible.
Summer or winter?
In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Balzheim, while in summer it's a recovery tool after cycling, running and hiking trips. The cold stimulus itself stays identical all year round: -110 °C, dry, three minutes.
Cold Chamber, ice bath or sauna?
Ice bath, cold shower or cold chamber? Water conducts heat roughly 25 times faster than air – an ice bath at 4 °C therefore feels harsher than -110 °C dry air. The key difference for guests from Balzheim: in the chamber, only the outermost layer of skin is cooled extremely, while the body's core stays warm. That makes the session safe, short and noticeably more pleasant than jumping into the river Iller.
Focus: Immune System
Strengthening the immune system – why people from Balzheim visit the cold chamber
Especially during the damp, cold months in Alb-Donau-Kreis, infections tend to pile up. The short, controlled cold stimulus at -110 °C acts as a training impulse for the body: circulation, blood vessels and the immune system are all challenged, without the body actually cooling down the way it would in an ice bath, because the cold is dry and lasts only three minutes. Many guests from Balzheim therefore use the chamber as a fixed routine over the winter, often twice a week. The effect builds up over a series; individual sessions are more of an experience than a training stimulus.
For Balzheim that means: booking twice a week, most people notice the difference by the third week – with 27 minutes' travel the effort stays manageable.
The most common feedback from Balzheim: the mind feels noticeably clearer after the session. From Balzheim the quickest route runs über die Illertalstraße towards Memmingen. Guests from Balzheim are mixed: from their early twenties to well over seventy, with very different goals.
- More alertness right after the chamber
- A complement to exercise in the fresh air
- A cold stimulus that trains vessels and defences
- Dry cold – no cooling down like in an ice bath

How often should I come to the cold chamber from Balzheim?
Two fixed appointments a week have proven effective; in intense phases, more sessions are possible too – the monthly unlimited pass covers unlimited sessions Monday to Saturday.
Is Cryotherapy at -110 °C dangerous?
No – the cold is dry, the session lasts only three minutes and is supervised throughout. Ears, hands, feet and mouth are protected. However, the session isn't suitable for certain pre-existing conditions; all contraindications can be found on the Notices page.
What do I need to bring from Balzheim?
Swimwear – we provide protection for ears, hands, feet and mouth. Please come into the chamber dry, without creams or jewellery; we'll explain the details calmly before your first session.
Can I do cryotherapy directly in Balzheim?
There's no whole-body cold chamber with -110 °C and Cyclon eddy-current cooling in Balzheim. The nearest address is Memmingen – at 28 km or around 27 minutes' drive, one of the shortest journeys in Alb-Donau-Kreis.
Who is the cold chamber particularly interesting for in Balzheim?
Guests from Balzheim come especially often because of back and posture. Athletes, people with joint or back complaints, and anyone wanting to improve sleep, skin and energy levels also use the session regularly.
Can I also give the session from Balzheim as a gift?
Yes – vouchers are available for single sessions and for packages. They're a popular gift in Alb-Donau-Kreis and can be requested directly at an appointment or by phone.
What's the difference between a cold chamber and an ice bath?
An ice bath works with wet cold around 4 to 10 °C and quickly becomes uncomfortable. In the chamber, dry cold of -110 °C prevails – the stimulus is far stronger, but it only affects the outermost layer of skin and most guests from Balzheim find it more bearable.
You can find all contraindications under Notices.
