How Does Whole Body Cryotherapy Work?
Whole body cryotherapy exposes your skin to dry, cold air as low as −195°C for just two to three minutes. The rapid cold triggers vasoconstriction — your blood vessels narrow and blood concentrates around your core. When you step out and warm up, that oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood floods back through your tissues, which is what supports reduced inflammation, faster recovery and the energising, mood-lifting effect most Downsviewclients notice right away. Your head stays above the chamber the whole time, so you never breathe the cold vapour.
Step In
Enter our medical-grade cryosauna in minimal clothing with protective gloves, socks and slippers provided at our North York centre.
2–3 Minutes of Cold
Dry cold at −195°C surrounds your body, triggering vasoconstriction and your natural anti-inflammatory response.
Recover & Recharge
As you warm up, circulation rebounds and you leave feeling refreshed — no downtime, ready to get on with your day.
What Are the Benefits for Downsview Residents?
Downsview clients come to us for a range of goals. The most consistently reported benefits of whole body cryotherapy are:
- Muscle recovery: Ease post-training soreness and DOMS so you can train again sooner.
- Natural pain relief: A drug-free option for managing joint pain, arthritis and chronic aches.
- Reduced inflammation: A whole-body anti-inflammatory response after each short session.
- Energy & mood: A reliable lift in alertness and mood from the cold-triggered endorphin release.
- Better sleep: Many clients report deeper, more restful sleep on session days.
- Skin & recovery add-ons: Pair with a cryofacial or localized cryotherapy for targeted goals.
What Should Downsview First-Timers Expect?
Your first visit from Downsview starts with a short consultation — we review your goals and any health considerations, then walk you through the session step by step. The cold itself lasts only two to three minutes and feels brisk and dry rather than the shock of an ice bath. There is no recovery period afterward, so most clients head straight back to work, the gym or errands. First-time clients pay just $40, which includes that consultation, and packages never expire — so once you know cryotherapy works for you, it is easy to keep a regular routine when the studio is only minutes from Downsview.

Cryotherapy for Downsview First-Timers: Straight Answers
With so much new housing around Sheppard West and Wilson, plenty of Downsview residents are hearing about cryotherapy for the first time. If you are thinking about whole body cryotherapy from Downsview, these are the questions first-timers usually ask before booking.
Will I breathe the cold vapour?
No. Our nitrogen-vapour cryosauna is open-top, and your head stays above the cabin for the whole session.
Is it like jumping into a cold lake?
Not really. The cold is dry, and your skin needs to be dry before you step in. Temperatures sit between −110°C and −195°C, and sessions last two to three minutes, capped at three.
Will someone be with me?
Yes. A trained technician is present for every whole body session, from the moment you step in until you step out.
What do I wear?
- Underwear, plus a sports bra for women
- Thermal gloves, socks and slippers, which we provide
- Ear protection, also provided
Is anyone not a good fit?
Yes, and we take screening seriously. Pregnancy, uncontrolled high blood pressure, several heart conditions, Raynaud's, severe claustrophobia and a range of other conditions rule it out. If you have a fever or an acute respiratory illness, please reschedule. Your free consultation reviews all of this, and the full list is on our contraindications page.
Does it actually help?
Many clients find that regular cold sessions ease muscle soreness and joint pain, whether that comes from weekend sports, long walks in Downsview Park or a desk job. Research is still limited and responses vary, so we treat your first few sessions as a trial. Our guide to whole body cryotherapy benefits sets out what is and is not well supported, and our safety guide covers possible side effects.
What if I only have one problem area?
Then a targeted session may suit you better. Localized cryotherapy focuses cold air on one zone, such as a knee or shoulder, from a $35 intro session plus HST.
