The process for guests from Benningen

How it works!

Many first-time guests from Benningen 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.

Arrival & briefing

Arrive relaxed

We calmly explain the process and answer all your questions before your first session.

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: Stress & Sleep

Winding down after work – cold therapy for guests from Benningen

Constant stress keeps the body on high alert. The cold chamber radically interrupts that pattern: three minutes at -110 °C demand full attention, followed by a deep relaxation that many describe as a "reset". The release of endorphins noticeably lifts mood, while many guests from Benningen report calmer, deeper sleep the night after. Coming from work in Benningen, plan on about an hour in total for travel, the session and the rest period afterwards – it's around 9 minutes each way.

Anyone coming regularly from Benningen saves noticeably with a package. Benningen liegt praktisch vor der Haustür der Kältekammer – ideal für 2–3 Sitzungen pro Woche. That makes the appointment especially practical for Benningen. For working people from Benningen, the session fits nicely into an extended lunch break. It's 6 kilometres from Benningen to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen, a drive of about 9 minutes über die Kreisstraße MN 33. Guests from Benningen usually name regular short sessions without travel stress as their reason.

In Unterallgäu district many combine the session with fresh-air movement – a walk or easy ride afterwards extends the feeling of warmth.

  • Interrupting stress patterns
  • More calm in everyday life
  • Compact: three minutes instead of a long wellness session
  • An endorphin kick and a clear head

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 Benningen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Benningen

Bundling trips is worthwhile from Benningen: many guests combine the session with shopping, a doctor's appointment or training in Memmingen. That way, the 6 km trip becomes not an extra errand but a fixed part of the weekly rhythm.

Summer or winter?

In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Benningen, 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 Benningen: 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: Sport & Recovery

Recover faster – the cold chamber for athletes from Benningen

Anyone in Benningen who plays football or handball, cycles, runs or trains with weights knows the problem: there's often too little time for real recovery between two sessions. Three minutes at -110 °C act like a turbo boost for recovery: the extreme dry cold constricts blood vessels, reduces signal transmission in the pain fibres and slows inflammatory processes after intense exertion. Once you step out, the vessels widen again and oxygen-rich blood floods the worked muscles. Many active people from Unterallgäu district schedule the session straight after training or the day after competing – with around 9 minutes' drive from Benningen, that fits easily into a weekly routine.

Demand from Benningen peaks between October and March; booking early is worthwhile then.

Feedback from Benningen mostly revolves around less stiffness in the morning. From Benningen the quickest route runs über die Kreisstraße MN 33 towards Memmingen. Those coming from Benningen have often already tried physiotherapy or sauna and are looking for an extra stimulus.

  • Combines well with physiotherapy and strength training
  • Less muscle soreness after tough sessions
  • Shorter breaks between two training sessions
  • Support for irritation in tendons and joints
