The process for guests from Schelklingen

How it works!

To make the trip from Schelklingen 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: Longevity

Longevity in Schelklingen: cold as a building block for healthy ageing

Longevity isn't just about getting older, it's about staying healthy and capable for longer. Short, strong stimuli – heat, cold, exercise, fasting – are among the tools that keep the body adaptable. Whole-body cryotherapy delivers exactly that kind of stimulus in concentrated form: three minutes, the whole body, a measurable circulatory response. For people from Schelklingen who deliberately invest in their healthspan, the chamber is therefore often the weekly fixed point alongside strength and endurance training. With around 74 km to travel from Schelklingen, the effort stays manageable – and the monthly unlimited pass makes several sessions a month easy to plan too.

First visit from Schelklingen? Allow about 30 minutes on site including the briefing. Guests from Schelklingen report: Schelklingen liegt rund 74 km von der Kältekammer in der Kempterstraße entfernt – die Fahrt dauert etwa 58 Minuten. Many guests from Alb-Donau-Kreis combine the appointment with shopping or a doctor's visit in Memmingen. 74 kilometres lie between Schelklingen and Memmingen – über die A7 Richtung Kempten plan 58 minutes each way. Main focus for guests from Alb-Donau-Kreis: Recovery after sport and training.

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

  • Monthly unlimited pass with unlimited sessions (Mon–Sat)
  • A hormetic stimulus for cells and blood vessels
  • Consistency beats intensity
  • Combines with strength and endurance training

For guests from Schelklingen

What the cold treatment can do

Whether someone from Schelklingen comes for back pain, for their figure, or simply for more energy: the stimulus is the same, but the focus isn't. These four areas sum up what cold can do.

Many from Schelklingen start with a single session and switch to a package once they've found their rhythm.

In spring, guests from Alb-Donau-Kreis like to combine the session with getting back into training. Booking as a pair from Schelklingen gets you two consecutive slots. Unlike a cold shower at home in Schelklingen, 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 Schelklingen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Schelklingen

For a start from Schelklingen, 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 Schelklingen, 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 Schelklingen: 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: Pain & Joints

Cold therapy for joint and back pain – for guests from Schelklingen

Back pain, stiff joints, rheumatic complaints or tension after long working days are among the most common reasons guests from Schelklingen and Alb-Donau-Kreis try whole-body cryotherapy. The dry cold at -110 °C dampens the transmission of pain signals and has an anti-inflammatory effect – without medication, without side effects in the classic sense. Many describe a noticeably lighter body feeling and greater freedom of movement after the session, which, depending on the starting point, can last several hours to days. Important: the cold chamber does not replace medical treatment, it complements it. If you have an existing condition, please talk to your doctor first.

In Alb-Donau-Kreis teams and training groups book together too – that cuts the travel effort per person from Schelklingen.

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

  • More mobility in everyday life
  • A sensible addition to physiotherapy
  • Can be planned as a series for chronic complaints too
  • Pain relief without medication
