Coming Soon!


Recover Faster. Reduce Inflammation. Feel Energized in Just 1 to 3 Minutes.

Whole-body cryotherapy at MINT is a science-backed recovery therapy designed to reduce soreness, decrease inflammation, boost circulation, and elevate mood — all in just 1–3 minutes.

Using advanced electric cold air technology (not liquid nitrogen), MINT’s cryotherapy safely chills the air inside a private chamber to stimulate your body’s natural recovery response. It is fast, efficient, and remarkably comfortable.

Cryotherapy is one of the building blocks of longevity and quality health span — not just living longer, but living better.

What Is Whole-Body Cryotherapy?

Whole-body cryotherapy exposes your body to sub-zero temperatures for a short, controlled period (1–3 minutes). This rapid cooling triggers your natural fight-or-flight response.

  • Minute 1: Your body adjusts to the cold
  • Minute 2: Blood shifts toward your core
  • Minute 3: Freshly oxygenated blood circulates back through your body

This process supports:

  • Faster muscle recovery
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Endorphin release
  • Improved circulation
  • Energy and mood boost

Why Electric Cryotherapy Is Safer and More Comfortable

MINT uses 100% electric cold air technology — not nitrogen.

Electric cryotherapy:

  • Does not use liquid nitrogen
  • Eliminates nitrogen leak risk
  • Is clean, odor-free, and dry
  • Is considered safer than nitrogen-based chambers

Cold air exposure is dry and controlled, unlike wet immersion methods like cold plunges. It delivers rapid systemic benefits without prolonged discomfort.

Cryotherapy Benefits

Members use cryotherapy to:

✔ Reduce muscle soreness after workouts
✔ Decrease inflammation and joint stiffness
✔ Boost circulation and oxygen delivery
✔ Support immune activation
✔ Improve mood and mental clarity
✔ Increase energy
✔ Promote better sleep

Professional sports teams, elite athletes, and wellness leaders now use cryotherapy as a core recovery tool.

At MINT, it’s part of your gym experience.

Cryotherapy vs. Cold Plunge

Whole-body cryotherapy delivers:

  • 1–3 minute sessions
  • Rapid systemic anti-inflammatory response
  • Strong central nervous system stimulation
  • Immediate energy boost

Cold plunges:

  • Require 15–30 minutes
  • Provide local numbness relief
  • Deliver slower systemic effects

Cryotherapy is efficient, dry, and easy to fit into your day.

What to Expect During a Cryotherapy Session

Your session takes less than 5 minutes total.

  1. You’ll wear provided protective gear (socks, gloves, earmuffs).
  2. Step inside the private chamber.
  3. The session lasts up to 3 minutes.
  4. You exit feeling energized and refreshed.

Most members describe it as invigorating rather than painful.

Is Cryotherapy Safe?

Cryotherapy is considered a wellness service (not a medical device). It is non-invasive and does not require certification to operate.

However, it may not be appropriate for individuals with:

  • Certain heart conditions
  • Pregnancy
  • Uncontrolled hypertension

If unsure, consult your physician.
