The process for guests from Buchenberg
How it works!
The process is identical for all guests – including those from Buchenberg – 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.
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.

Duration

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 Buchenberg visit the cold chamber
Especially during the damp, cold months in Oberallgäu 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 Buchenberg 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 Oberallgäu district combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen. From Buchenberg the route runs über die B12 Richtung Memmingen; after 30 minutes and 32 kilometres you're at the door. Questions about the trip from Buchenberg or about appointments? A quick call is enough. Locally speaking: Aus dem Buchenberger Hochtal ist die A7 schnell erreicht. Main focus for guests from Oberallgäu district: Recovery after mountain tours.
A fixed rhythm pays off more than single visits, especially from Buchenberg: 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

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 Buchenberg
How to plan your sessions
Rhythm for Buchenberg
For a start from Buchenberg, 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?
Many people in Buchenberg start a series in autumn to get through the infection season well, and continue in spring for reasons of shape and skin. The chamber works regardless of weather and season.
Cold Chamber, ice bath or sauna?
There are lakes, streams and, in winter, plenty of cold around Buchenberg – yet the chamber is something different. Cold water cools the body's core and needs a long time to get used to. The dry cold at -110 °C works within three minutes through the skin's receptors, without the core cooling down. The stimulus is stronger, and the strain on circulation is shorter and more controlled.
Focus: Work & Physical Strain
A physically demanding job? Cold chamber recovery for Buchenberg
Trades, care work, farming, production, shift work: many people in Oberallgäu 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 Buchenberg it's only around 30 minutes – including changing and the session, you're done in about 30 minutes.

How often should I come to the cold chamber from Buchenberg?
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?
The dry cold only cools the outermost layer of skin, not the body's core. With protection for ears, hands and feet and expert guidance, the session is well tolerated – except in certain pre-existing conditions.
What do I need to bring from Buchenberg?
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 Buchenberg?

Is the cold chamber worth it in summer for guests from Buchenberg?
Yes. The chamber works with dry cold, completely independent of the weather in Buchenberg. Especially on hot days, many guests find the three minutes particularly refreshing and sleep-promoting.
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 Buchenberg find it more bearable.
Can I also give the session from Buchenberg as a gift?
Yes – vouchers are available for single sessions and for packages. They're a popular gift in Oberallgäu district and can be requested directly at an appointment or by phone.

Founder
Helga Maria Freitag
Behind Cold Chamber Memmingen isn't an anonymous studio, but a health expert with almost 40 years of professional experience. Guests from Buchenberg are also cared for and briefed in person.
For Buchenberg that means: booking twice a week, most people notice the difference by the third week – with 30 minutes' travel the effort stays manageable.
Helga Maria Freitag – known to many simply as Marie – has been working with people for almost 40 years. Her professional roots lie in medical foot care; she has been a state-certified podologist since July 2025 and, since March 2026, also a sectoral non-medical practitioner for podology.
Her daily work with mobility, pain and well-being sparked her interest in cryotherapy. With Cold Chamber Memmingen she has created a place where modern whole-body cold therapy is offered in a personal atmosphere – for people who want to do something good for their body as well as for active athletes.
Everyone brings different conditions, strains and goals. That is why personal support, a responsible approach to health and a suitable application always come first. "Growing old in good health" is her personal credo.
