Hot + cold recovery
Pair infrared sauna with whole body cryotherapy
NOLA Chill offers both sides of a simple hot-cold visit: infrared sauna first, then whole body cryotherapy in the electric Trident chamber. New clients can book their first whole body cryotherapy session for $25.
If you are deciding between cryotherapy and infrared sauna, the easiest answer is this: book cryotherapy first when you want the fastest full-body reset, and book infrared sauna first when you want a longer heat-based recovery session. Both can fit into a real routine at NOLA Chill, but they solve slightly different problems.
For many first-time clients, the real choice comes down to time, body feel, and what type of session sounds easier to stick with. Cryotherapy is short and efficient. Infrared sauna is slower, warmer, and more decompressing. Neither one has to be overcomplicated.
When Cryotherapy Is the Better First Booking
Cryotherapy is usually the better first booking when soreness is general, your week is busy, or you want the fastest recovery option available. A whole body cryotherapy session at NOLA Chill usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes, which is why a lot of people choose it before work, after training, or between errands.
If you like the idea of a short session that helps you feel reset without blocking off much time, cryotherapy is usually the easier place to start.
When Infrared Sauna Is the Better First Booking
Infrared sauna is usually the better first booking when you want heat, decompression, and a longer session. It is a strong fit when you feel tight, worn down, or mentally overloaded and want something that feels less abrupt than cold exposure.
For some first-time clients, sauna feels more approachable because it is slower and easier to settle into. If that is the kind of recovery session you are more likely to actually use consistently, sauna may be the better first choice.
How to Decide If You Are Still Unsure
If your main goal is speed, choose cryotherapy. If your main goal is heat and a longer session, choose infrared sauna. If one body part is the main issue rather than general soreness, localized cryotherapy may be a better fit than either one as a first booking.
Some clients eventually use both services at different times, but most first-time guests do better when they start with one clear option and see how it fits their routine.
Which One Fits NOLA Chill Best?
NOLA Chill works well for this comparison because the studio offers both services in one place. That means you do not have to guess on your own and hope you picked the right place. You can compare pricing, book the option that feels most useful, and adjust from there if your needs change.
