Whole-Body Cryotherapy in Las Cruces
Experience the science of recovery. Bionic Barbell is the only gym in Las Cruces with a whole-body cryotherapy chamber. Immerse yourself in sub-zero temperatures for 3 minutes and feel the immediate difference in recovery, energy, and performance.
What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a cutting-edge recovery technique that uses extreme cold exposure to accelerate healing and enhance performance. At Bionic Barbell in Las Cruces, we use a state-of-the-art whole-body cryotherapy chamber that reaches temperatures below -200°F.
The Science Behind Las Cruces' Only Cryotherapy Chamber
When your body is exposed to extreme cold, several physiological responses occur simultaneously. Blood vessels constrict, pushing nutrient-rich blood toward your core organs. Once you exit the chamber, the warming process triggers vasodilation — blood rushes back to your muscles, delivering oxygen and removing metabolic waste at an accelerated rate.
This rapid circulation boost is what makes cryotherapy so powerful for recovery in Las Cruces. The process is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and produces measurable results in as little as 3 minutes.

Why Athletes & Fitness Enthusiasts Love Cryotherapy
At Bionic Barbell in Las Cruces, our cryotherapy members report noticeable improvements within days. Here's what the science says.
Reduces Inflammation
Extreme cold constricts blood vessels and reduces inflammatory response throughout your body. Perfect after intense workouts.
Accelerates Muscle Recovery
Enhanced circulation pushes nutrient-rich blood to recovering muscles, clearing metabolic waste and speeding repair at the cellular level.
Boosts Metabolism
Cryotherapy triggers thermogenesis — your body burns extra calories generating heat after the session, increasing metabolic rate for hours.
Improves Sleep Quality
Regular cryotherapy sessions improve sleep architecture and help you wake feeling more refreshed. Better sleep = better recovery.
Enhances Mood & Energy
Cold exposure triggers endorphin release — the "feel-good" chemicals that improve mood, reduce stress, and boost mental clarity.
Skin Rejuvenation
Enhanced circulation and collagen production mean healthier, more vibrant skin. Anti-aging benefits that show in the mirror.

Cryotherapy FAQs
Is cryotherapy safe?
Yes. Whole-body cryotherapy is non-invasive and has been used safely by elite athletes and medical facilities worldwide for years. The extreme cold triggers natural, beneficial physiological responses. Sessions are brief (3 minutes), and our staff guides you through the entire process. Most users experience no adverse effects. However, individuals with severe cold sensitivity, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or certain heart conditions should consult a doctor first.
How cold does the chamber get?
The cryotherapy chamber at Bionic Barbell in Las Cruces reaches temperatures below -200°F (-120°C). This extreme cold is safe because the session lasts only 3 minutes, and your body adapts quickly. You'll feel the cold immediately, but it's invigorating rather than painful. Many clients describe it as "intense but energizing."
How often should I do cryotherapy?
For optimal results in Las Cruces, most clients use cryotherapy 2-3 times per week, though frequency depends on your training intensity and recovery needs. Elite athletes may use it daily. VIP members at Bionic Barbell enjoy unlimited access, so you can cryotherapy as often as you'd like. Start with 1-2 sessions per week and adjust based on how you feel and your recovery goals.
What should I wear during a cryotherapy session?
We provide shorts and a sports bra for comfort. You'll also wear gloves (to protect your hands) and socks (to protect your feet). Minimal clothing is ideal because the cold therapy works on exposed skin. Remove any metal jewelry before entering the chamber, as metal conducts cold and can become uncomfortable.
Can seniors do cryotherapy?
Absolutely. Many seniors in Las Cruces use cryotherapy to manage joint pain, arthritis, and general soreness from daily activities. The anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting benefits are especially valuable for aging joints. However, seniors with certain heart conditions or blood pressure issues should check with their doctor first. Our staff at Bionic Barbell can answer specific questions about your health situation.
