The process for guests from Rettenberg

How it works!

Before you set off from Rettenberg, it's worth looking at how it works: the session itself takes just three minutes, with changing, a briefing and a short rest period around it. On site we explain every step in person – no one steps into the chamber unprepared.

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.

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: Work & Physical Strain

A physically demanding job? Cold chamber recovery for Rettenberg

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 Rettenberg it's only around 48 minutes – including changing and the session, you're done in about 30 minutes.

Appointments from Rettenberg can be booked online; questions are answered by phone beforehand. Rettenberg am Grünten ist über die A7 gut erreichbar. Many then plan another quiet half hour. What brings people from Rettenberg here is above all strength and endurance. Guests from Oberallgäu district often come during their lunch break or straight after work. Getting here from Rettenberg is simple: über die A7, 58 kilometres, roughly 48 minutes.

Guests from Rettenberg mainly report two effects: a clear head in the evening and calmer sleep the following night.

  • Relief for back, shoulders and knees
  • A clear head after your shift
  • Easy scheduling via online booking
  • Packages for regular sessions

For guests from Rettenberg

What the cold treatment can do

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

Whether the trip from Rettenberg pays off usually becomes clear after three to five sessions – that's how long the body needs to settle into the cold stimulus.

If you already use a sauna in Rettenberg, you can combine both: heat and cold complement each other well. On hot summer days especially, guests from Rettenberg find the three minutes a pleasant cool-down. For first visits from Rettenberg we deliberately allow a little more time.

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 Rettenberg

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Rettenberg

For a start from Rettenberg, 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 Rettenberg 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?

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 Rettenberg: 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: Metabolism & Shape

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

In the cold chamber, the body works to warm itself against -110 °C – and burns energy in the process. For guests from Rettenberg, 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 Oberallgäu district who come regularly get the best value with the 10-session or 10-session package.

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

From Rettenberg we often hear that muscle soreness is far milder the next day. Guests from Rettenberg are mixed: from their early twenties to well over seventy, with very different goals. From Rettenberg the quickest route runs über die A7 towards Memmingen.

  • Ideal as part of a change in diet
  • Activation of brown fat tissue
  • Increased energy expenditure after the session
  • Firmer skin through improved circulation
