The process for guests from Öpfingen

How it works!

To make the trip from Öpfingen worthwhile, here's the essentials about the technology and process: -110 °C, dry air, eddy-current cooling, three minutes. The overview below shows what happens in 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.

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: Immune System

Strengthening the immune system – why people from Öpfingen 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 Öpfingen 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.

From Öpfingen the route runs über die A7 Richtung Kempten; after 50 minutes and 62 kilometres you're at the door. In Öpfingen, sore muscles and faster recovery tops the list. First visit from Öpfingen? Allow about 30 minutes on site including the briefing. Guests from Öpfingen report: Viele Gäste aus Öpfingen verbinden die Sitzung mit Erledigungen in Memmingen. Many guests from Alb-Donau-Kreis combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen.

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

  • 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 Öpfingen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Öpfingen

Guests travelling from Öpfingen 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?

Whether it's a heatwave or snowfall in Alb-Donau-Kreis: the chamber is a constant -110 °C. Especially on hot summer days, guests from Öpfingen find the three minutes particularly pleasant.

Cold Chamber, ice bath or sauna?

Sauna and cold chamber aren't opposites, but two sides of the same principle: short, strong stimuli that the body responds to with adaptation. Many guests from Öpfingen combine both – sauna for relaxation, the cold chamber for recovery, immunity and metabolism.

Focus: Work & Physical Strain

A physically demanding job? Cold chamber recovery for Öpfingen

Trades, care work, farming, production, shift work: many people in Alb-Donau-Kreis 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 Öpfingen it's only around 50 minutes – including changing and the session, you're done in about 30 minutes.

For beginners from Öpfingen the visit starts with a short briefing; the time in the chamber itself stays at three minutes.

Travelling from Öpfingen means well-built roads without chaotic through-town traffic. From Öpfingen we often hear from club athletes who take recovery seriously. Guests from Öpfingen report better sleep above all in the night after the appointment.
