The process for guests from Gestratz

How it works!

Many first-time guests from Gestratz 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: Work & Physical Strain

A physically demanding job? Cold chamber recovery for Gestratz

Trades, care work, farming, production, shift work: many people in Lindau 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 Gestratz it's only around 52 minutes – including changing and the session, you're done in about 30 minutes.

The most common reason in Gestratz: Skin appearance, skin tightening and anti-aging. For working people from Gestratz, the session fits nicely into an extended lunch break. It's 60 kilometres from Gestratz to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen, a drive of about 52 minutes über die A96 Richtung Memmingen. Appointments from Gestratz can be booked online; questions are answered by phone beforehand. Zwischen Gestratz und Memmingen liegen rund 60 Kilometer – gut planbar für regelmäßige Sitzungen. Many then plan another quiet half hour.

  • Relief for back, shoulders and knees

For guests from Gestratz

What the cold treatment can do

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

Guests from Lindau district often ask about the best time of day – mornings feel activating, evenings more calming.

First-time bookers from Gestratz receive a short checklist by message beforehand. If you already use a sauna in Gestratz, you can combine both: heat and cold complement each other well. After the holidays many from Gestratz use the chamber as a restart for their own rhythm.

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 Gestratz

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Gestratz

Bundling trips is worthwhile from Gestratz: many guests combine the session with shopping, a doctor's appointment or training in Memmingen. That way, the 60 km trip becomes not an extra errand but a fixed part of the weekly rhythm.

Summer or winter?

Many people in Gestratz 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 Gestratz – 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: Metabolism & Shape

Boost your metabolism: the cold chamber as support for weight loss in Gestratz

In the cold chamber, the body works to warm itself against -110 °C – and burns energy in the process. For guests from Gestratz, the chamber is therefore often part of a bigger plan involving exercise, diet and recovery. The cold stimulus activates brown fat tissue, which turns energy directly into heat, and noticeably gets circulation going. A single visit doesn't replace a calorie deficit – but 2 to 3 sessions a week over several weeks set off a metabolic impulse that many describe as more everyday energy and fewer cravings. Guests from Lindau district who come regularly get the best value with the 10-session or 10-session package.

Coming after work from Gestratz, plan realistically around 134 minutes for travel, session and rest.

From Gestratz we often hear that muscle soreness is far milder the next day. The drive from Gestratz takes about 52 minutes without traffic. Those coming from Gestratz have often already tried physiotherapy or sauna and are looking for an extra stimulus.

  • More motivation for sport and exercise
  • Ideal as part of a change in diet
  • Activation of brown fat tissue
  • Increased energy expenditure after the session
