The process for guests from Biessenhofen

How it works!

The process is identical for all guests – including those from Biessenhofen – and deliberately kept simple: arrive, change, a short briefing, three minutes in the chamber, rest afterwards. The technology behind it is a Cyclon eddy-current cooling system that guides dry cold evenly around the body.

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.

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: Immune System

Strengthening the immune system – why people from Biessenhofen visit the cold chamber

Especially during the damp, cold months in Ostallgäu district, 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 Biessenhofen 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.

Many guests from Ostallgäu district combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen. 45 kilometres lie between Biessenhofen and Memmingen – über die B16 und B18 plan 38 minutes each way. Main focus for guests from Ostallgäu district: Ice hockey and team sports. First visit from Biessenhofen? Allow about 30 minutes on site including the briefing. Biessenhofen bei Kaufbeuren ist über die B16 gut angebunden.

A fixed rhythm pays off more than single visits, especially from Biessenhofen: the body adapts to the cold stimulus and responds faster.

  • A fixed winter routine with 2 sessions a week
  • More alertness right after the chamber
  • A complement to exercise in the fresh air
  • A cold stimulus that trains vessels and defences

For guests from Biessenhofen

What the cold treatment can do

Whole-body cryotherapy doesn't work on a single spot but on the whole organism. Guests from Biessenhofen therefore come with very different goals – from post-sport recovery to skin and sleep.

Anyone coming from Ostallgäu district with a pre-existing condition should check with a doctor first; we advise on the procedure by phone.

Demand from Ostallgäu district peaks between October and March – booking early pays off. Booking as a pair from Biessenhofen gets you two consecutive slots. Unlike a cold shower at home in Biessenhofen, the chamber reaches a depth the body answers quite differently.

Please note: we cannot promise any cure – every body responds differently to cold therapy. Results also depend on regular sessions of at least 2–3 times a week over a longer period.

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 Biessenhofen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Biessenhofen

For a start from Biessenhofen, we recommend a series of 10 sessions within four to five weeks. During this time the body gets used to the stimulus, and the effects on sleep, energy and complaints become more noticeable. After that, many guests maintain the level with one session a week.

Summer or winter?

In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Biessenhofen, 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 Biessenhofen: 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: Work & Physical Strain

A physically demanding job? Cold chamber recovery for Biessenhofen

Trades, care work, farming, production, shift work: many people in Ostallgäu district work physically – or spend the day sitting at a desk in a forced posture. Both leave their mark on muscles and joints. Whole-body cryotherapy provides a short, highly effective recovery impulse that fits easily into your evening without much time investment. From Biessenhofen it's only around 38 minutes – including changing and the session, you're done in about 30 minutes.

The effect lasts hours to days depending on your situation – so fixed weekdays suit guests from Biessenhofen better than spontaneous visits.

Travelling from Biessenhofen means well-built roads without chaotic through-town traffic. Guests from Biessenhofen report better sleep above all in the night after the appointment. Noticeably many couples and families from Biessenhofen book their appointments together.

  • A clear head after your shift
  • Easy scheduling via online booking
  • Packages for regular sessions
  • A short break without using half a day off
