Cryotherapy in Thornton

What is Cryotherapy?

Our gym is excited to offer individual whole-body cryotherapy sessions to our members. During cryotherapy, your body will be enclosed in a chamber from the neck down. The cryotherapy session, which lasts about 3 minutes, will begin with liquid nitrogen being pumped into the chamber. As the nitrogen hits the air, it turns into a harmless vapor and drops the temperature inside the chamber to between -100°F and -230°F. 

When the cryotherapy session is complete, you’ll exit the chamber and can start to reap its benefits in the hours and days ahead.

Some of the many benefits of cryotherapy include:

• Relieving muscle and joint pain

• Healing muscle tissue and cell damage

• Losing weight

• Reducing inflammation

• Younger-looking skin

• Improving mood

• Boosting energy

Cryotherapy is used to treat a host of conditions, such as:

 • Arthritis

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Migraine headaches

• Dementia 

• Eczema

• Multiple sclerosis

 

Many people, including professional athletes, credit regular cryotherapy sessions with helping them recover more quickly after physical exertion. For more information about using our Cryotherapy chamber at our gym, speak to any member of our staff. We’re happy to assist you!

Why Do People Go to the Gym?

Walking into a gym, you’ll meet a diverse array of people, each with their own unique reasons why they’re there.

Everyone’s motivations for hitting the gym are as varied as the individuals themselves. Some are driven by a desire to shed a few pounds and reclaim their health, while others are on a quest for physical strength and endurance. For many, the gym serves as a sanctuary—a place to escape the stresses of work and life, if only for an hour or two. And then there are those chasing after the elusive endorphin rush, seeking that addictive high that comes from pushing their bodies to the limit.

Yet, regardless of the multitude of reasons driving people through those gym doors, there’s a common thread that unites them all: their “why.”

Why is this important? Because, in moments of wavering motivation, when the allure of the couch threatens to overpower your will to exercise, having a clear understanding of your “why” can be a powerful tool. It serves as a beacon, guiding you back on track when the journey toward your fitness goals feels overwhelming.

So, as we discuss the many reasons why people choose to go to the gym, remember to take a moment to reflect on your own motivations. Whether it’s to reclaim your health, sculpt your physique, or simply find a moment of peace in a hectic world, understanding your “why” is the first step on the path to a healthier, happier you at AFAC gym in Thornton, Colorado.
