WellnessSpace Brands, recently rebranded from HydroMassage, has opened pre-orders for its CryoLounge+ chair – a new hot and cold therapy and compression solution for wellness and fitness facilities.
Users sit fully-clothed on the unit for a recommended 15-minute session to target specific areas of the body with cold or heat.
“Anyone who has experienced an ice bath or cryotherapy chamber knows how invigorating the experience can be, although the drawback is that your entire body is typically shivering and numb from the cold after a few minutes,” said Paul Lunter, founder and CEO of WellnessSpace Brands.
“By contrast, the CryoLounge+ provides a unique, ‘comfortable cold’ experience. Users receive targeted cold therapy to specific muscle groups (calves, hamstrings, glutes, back, shoulders, etc), and use heat in other areas to offset the cold. This keeps the body completely comfortable throughout the session.”
Additional features for recovery include a compression feature for calf massages, an auxiliary pad to target hard-to-reach areas (such as shoulders and knees), and a contrast feature to switch the cold and heated areas.
“Today’s typical gym workout is no longer limited to lifting weights or running on the treadmill, it now often incorporates stretching, cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage, percussive therapy or a mix of it all,” said Lunter.
“We have seen firsthand the increase in popularity of our water massage lounges and beds, and CryoLounge+ has been received equally well by fitness operators. We see all clubs needing wellness spaces to accommodate member needs.”
The chair costs £23,000 (US$26,200) and the first units will be available in the UK from February 2023.
