Short answer: the best post-workout visit depends on the experience you want. Choose Whole Body Cryotherapy for a brief cold-air session, NormaTec Compression for a quiet leg-focused session, Infrared Sauna for longer heat and private downtime, or Localized Cryotherapy when you want cold directed at one area. These are optional wellness services, not substitutes for sleep, food, hydration, training adjustments, or medical care.
Start with the basics
Recovery begins with enough sleep, appropriate food and fluids, progressive training, and rest when needed. A studio session can be part of a routine, but NOLA Chill does not promise that it will eliminate soreness, inflammation, fatigue, or injury.
Choose by the session experience
Whole Body Cryotherapy
Choose this when you want the shortest full-body option. The cold-air session is typically about 3 to 5 minutes, with additional time for check-in and staff guidance. See Whole Body Cryotherapy.
NormaTec Compression
Choose this when you want to sit or recline while pneumatic sleeves cycle around the legs. It is common after running, lower-body training, travel, or long standing days. See NormaTec Compression.
Infrared Sauna
Choose this when you want a longer heated-room session and quiet time. Sauna requires more time than cryotherapy and is not marketed as detoxification or a treatment. See Infrared Sauna.
Localized Cryotherapy
Choose this when you want a brief cold-air session directed at one area rather than a full-body chamber session. NOLA Chill does not diagnose the reason an area feels sore. See Localized Cryotherapy.
