Experience the Power of Cold
Refresh. Recharge. Recover.
Discover an invigorating wellness experience with whole-body cryotherapy at Ft Hunt Health and Wellness Center in Alexandria, Virginia.
Whole-body cryotherapy uses a specialized cryotherapy chamber to expose the body to extremely cold, dry air for a brief period of time. The experience is fast, refreshing and has become popular among athletes, active individuals and wellness enthusiasts looking to incorporate cold exposure into their recovery and self-care routines.
Whether you are training hard, living an active lifestyle or simply looking for a unique way to refresh your body and mind, our goal is to provide a professional, carefully supervised cryotherapy experience in a comfortable wellness environment.
What Is Whole-Body Cryotherapy?
Whole-body cryotherapy is a short-duration cold exposure performed inside a specialized cryotherapy chamber.
Unlike an ice bath, which surrounds the body with cold water, whole-body cryotherapy uses extremely cold, dry air for a brief session.
Because the exposure is short, many guests find cryotherapy an exciting and convenient addition to their overall wellness routine.
Why Do People Choose Cryotherapy?
People commonly explore whole-body cryotherapy as part of their fitness, recovery and wellness routines.
Guests may choose cryotherapy when they are looking for:
A refreshing post-workout wellness experience
A convenient alternative to traditional cold-water exposure
A way to complement an active lifestyle
A brief and invigorating whole-body experience
An additional component of a broader recovery routine
A unique wellness experience that can be combined with other Ft Hunt services
Individual experiences vary, and whole-body cryotherapy should be considered a complementary wellness service rather than a treatment or cure for a medical condition.
Cryotherapy for Active Lifestyles
From recreational exercisers to serious athletes, recovery is an important part of maintaining an active lifestyle.
Whole-body cryotherapy has become popular in fitness and sports communities as a cold-exposure recovery practice. Some people report enjoying the refreshed feeling that follows a session and incorporate cryotherapy into their regular wellness routine.
Scientific research into whole-body cryotherapy and exercise recovery is still developing, however, and results should not be guaranteed.
Our philosophy is simple: provide a high-quality cryotherapy experience while being transparent about what the science does—and does not—currently establish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a cryotherapy session take?
Whole-body cryotherapy involves only a brief period of cold exposure. Your complete appointment will take additional time for preparation, safety instructions and changing. Time setting can be between 1-3 minutes and temperature can be set as low as -200F.
Our staff will explain the specific session protocol before your treatment.
Is whole-body cryotherapy the same as an ice bath?
No. An ice bath uses cold water to cool the body, while whole-body cryotherapy exposes the body to extremely cold, dry air inside a specialized chamber.
What should I wear during cryotherapy?
Proper clothing and protective equipment are important during extreme cold exposure. Our staff will explain exactly what to wear and provide instructions before your session.
How often can I use cryotherapy?
There is no single schedule that is appropriate for everyone. Frequency depends on your goals, health status and individual circumstances.
Our team can explain our available packages, but cryotherapy should not replace medical care or a recovery program recommended by your healthcare professional.
Is cryotherapy appropriate for everyone?
No. Extreme cold exposure is not appropriate for everyone.
Certain medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, circulation problems, reduced sensitivity to temperature and other circumstances may make cryotherapy inappropriate. Guests should disclose relevant health information during screening, and anyone with questions about whether cryotherapy is appropriate for them should consult their healthcare professional before participating.
