Cold Chamber
Experience the natural power of the cold up close. At -85°C in our state-of-the-art cold chamber.
"It's not the cold that makes us sick, it's its absence."
What is a cold chamber?
Man and the cold have always coexisted, and over the course of our evolution we have developed effective systems for temperature regulation. If these systems are not used, they degenerate.
Our state-of-the-art Mecotec cold chamber offers full-body cold applications that expose your body to an extremely dry cold stimulus at -85°C for just three minutes, reactivate ancient switches in your DNA and train your body's adaptability.

FAQ
How does whole body cold work?
Whole-body cold applications exert a short-term extreme cold stimulus on the entire skin surface, trigger reactions in deeper tissues and organs, lead to adaptation processes in our body with repeated application and in this way contribute to recovery or to the restoration of a homeostatic state.
You can find a more detailed description of the active components in the standard work on whole-body cold applications by Prof. Dr. medical Winfried Papenfuss: The power from the cold - whole body cold therapy at -85 °C to -130 °C Clinic, prevention, sport and wellness. 5th edition, ed. K, 2022, ISBN 978-3-938912-11-9. A reference copy of this book is available in our studio library.
What do I have to consider before, during and after the cold application?
BEFORE THE SESSION
Clothing
- The application works better the more skin is in contact with the cold. It is best to enter the cold chamber with a bikini/sports bra/short swimming trunks or in underwear and stockings.
- We will provide you with gloves, a hat, Crocs and a mouth and nose mask. You are welcome to bring the latter yourself.
Important
- No metal objects directly on the skin (jewellery, watches, rings, glasses, ...).
- We recommend removing contact lenses.
- No open wounds.
- Remove visible piercings etc. or cover them with tape if necessary.
- Implants that are on the skin surface can be taped.
- Skin (do not apply lotion beforehand) and hair must be completely dry.
DURING THE SESSION
- Let the cold affect your body as extensively as possible.
- Breathe calmly and shallowly and not too deeply at first (the air is almost twice as dense).
- Cold spots on the body can be warmed up again by gently laying your hands on them (do not rub quickly).
- Enjoy the beneficial power of the cold simply by standing relaxed or moving slowly.
- The running time or remaining running time of your refrigeration aisle is indicated by the blue LED lighting on the door.
AFTER THE SESSION
- Enjoy the soothing and tingling feeling full of freshness and energy. Use the effect according to your wishes, e.g. for relaxation or sleep or start your Reformer Pilates or yoga session
What kind of cold chamber is used?
For the whole-body cold application, we use the high-performance electric cold chamber cryo:one+ from MECOTEC . It is 100% Made in Germany and PED - TÜV certified. Enjoy -85 °C with complete freedom of movement and an unobstructed view through the heated glass door.
Can you catch a cold in the cold chamber?
Associating cold with a cold is like associating sauna with burns.
Man and the cold have always coexisted and we have developed effective systems for temperature regulation that also perform other functions in the body. The direct exposure to cold in the cold chamber affects and lowers only the surface temperature of the body for a rapid body response.
