The CryoBar Blog

Chances are, you’ve already heard about cryotherapy somewhere else on the internet or in the news. Stars like Jennifer Aniston, Mark Wahlberg, and even athletes like Steph Curry have been raving about it. But… What exactly is cryotherapy? How does cryotherapy work? What does cryotherapy do? How cold does cryotherapy get? Of course, you want to know ...

I have been coming to The CryoBar for over 2 years now! I have severe inflammation and swelling from sitting at a desk all day at work. Doing cryotherapy consistently over the last few years has helped me manage this swelling, as well as alleviated any aches and pains I get from my usual Pilates ...

Back in November, I began noticing that I was becoming more lethargic, despite getting enough sleep, eating healthy and exercising.

I’d like to make one thing very clear: I don’t like being cold.  Furthermore, the only place I’ve historically wanted to see billowing plumes of white gas is at the feet of a lead guitarist on a concert stage. However, between regular yoga classes, circuit training, and indoor cycling at SALT Bucktown where I’m training to ...

As an athlete, I run 200+ miles per month and more than 50 races per year. My training and racing schedule can take a toll on my body and actively recovering becomes essential to my training regimen. Cryotherapy is part of my daily recovery routine. It’s a quick and easy way to get the benefits ...

I was a life-long runner until I had a kid. And then I had a second one. It took me a while, but I eventually got back into it. I was working out 6 days a week, finally back into my pre-parenting running routine when SNAP – there went my hamstring. A friend told me to give Cryo a try and I’ve been chilling almost every day since. Not only was I ...

My experience with Cryotherapy began last summer when I was in a pretty awful Vespa accident. Fortunately, there were no broken bones, but my entire right side was bruised and swollen. The day after my accident I could barely walk. I’ll quickly summarize by saying that if it hadn’t been for Cryo, I would not ...

I’ve been an athlete all my life! I played basketball for over 30 years but had to quit a few years ago because of major foot and ankle problems as well as bone spurs and arthritis. I haven’t been able to run in 5 years and I would get cortizone shots in my ankles every ...

I‘ve always been an avid exerciser, even when my body tells me to take it easy. When I learned about cryotherapy, I knew I had to try it for myself. When I was running marathons, I was fairly religious about doing ice baths, so I was aware of the benefits.  As painful as they were, ...

I had been curious about Cryotherapy for some time and am so happy I tried it out! It definitely lives up to the hype! I have been trying to get in shape for my wedding and Cryotherapy has become a part of my regular routine. I truly miss it if I’m not able to fit ...

I am honored to be the July Chiller of the Month. This is one of my proudest moments.  I thought I was “chill” before, but The CryoBar has taken me to a new level.  Since beginning my Cryo journey in January 2018, I’ve been a daily chiller, experiencing consistent reductions in muscle soreness, pain, inflammation ...
