When considering investing in a cryotherapy chamber, there are many things to consider but one of most common questions is how much does a chamber cost? There are quite a few factors that can influence the cost of a cryotherapy chamber but the main one to consider is what kind of chamber youre looking for. For this case we will explore the two main options on the market for whole-body cryotherapy, a nitrogen chamber and an electric chamber. Typically, you will spend more up front with an electric chamber, but the overall cost of ownership will be much higher with a nitrogen cryo system due to the fixed costs of nitrogen. Overall cost of ownership is actually a much more meaningful question when considering cost of a cryotherapy machine and one that can really help to calculate ROI (Return on Investment)
To put it simply, an electric chamber is ran using the power of electricity to cool the chamber and nitrogen is ran using liquid nitrogen to create the cool temperature. The upfront costs of these two types of chambers are usually significantly different. A nitrogen chamber can cost less upfront, averaging around $50,000+ as a rough estimate. Where an electric chamber starting cost is $90,000 and until recently averaged much higher around $180,000. A few important things to note, is while the cost of the nitrogen chamber is much lower, there are also operating costs to consider. With the nitrogen chamber comes the cost of the liquid nitrogen to run the chamber. Nitrogen cryo systems come with fixed costs per session and can significantly negatively affect profit margin. Keep in mind the cost of nitrogen will be an added expense for every session as long as you are operating the chamber. The electric chamber has a higher upfront cost but will cost you much less to run as you only need to consider the additional cost to your electrical bill, which is usually less than $20/day based on 10 hours of daily use of the chamber.There is no true fixed cost per session associated with electric cryotherapy chambers so it allows for easy scalability and increased profit margins as you grow.
Here at CryoBuilt we have been continuously innovating with electric cryotherapy systems and have the most efficient, cost effective, and reliable systems on the market. We have recently come out with a more affordable line of electric whole-body cryotherapy chambers, the EVEREST line. EVEREST is aimed at making electric cryotherapy more available for customers looking to upgrade from nitrogen and get rid of recurring costs as well as residential cryotherapy applications. In addition to the C1 & C4 Recovery Electric cryotherapy units sold through US Cryotherapy and the most commonly used electric chambers in the USA, The EVEREST line offers 3 chamber options with pricing starting at $90,000.
There is the PEAK chamber, the single room unit which is the most affordable electric WBC system on the market. The PINNACLE chamber, the dual room anti-chamber system. And the SUMMIT chamber, the multi chamber system that allows for 2X session capacity. All of these chambers in the EVEREST line achieve true cryo temps, have very low operating costs, and come with the ability to run using an app. The PEAK and PINNACLE system are also modular and allow for easy upgrades in the future.

Cryotherapy machines work to produce dry cold air that can be pushed around users to experience various benefits.
Precision in temperature control is paramount for safe and effective cryotherapy sessions. Contrary to popular belief, experiencing discomfort or pain during a session isnt a reliable indicator of its effectiveness. This is because pain receptors lie deeper within the skin compared to cold receptors, which cease detecting temperatures slightly above freezing at 32°F (0°C). Therefore, assessing treatment success based on pain or discomfort is misleading.
The measure of a successful cryotherapy session lies in carefully reducing skin temperature, typically by 10%, 30%, or 50%.
The key to a successful cryotherapy session is gradually lowering the skin temperature, usually by 10%, 30%, or 50%. Yet, how each person responds to cold varies a lot, not just between individuals but also in different parts of the body. This is why the best machines can target different areas of the body with different temperature in real time [Book a consultation with me to learn more].

Body and localized cryotherapy offer very different experiences, cater to different needs, and come with varying costs.
Whole and full body cryotherapy machines are like giant walk-in freezers that can plunge your entire body into sub-zero temperatures. The intense cold is known to help with muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and leave you feeling energized. These machines are designed to give you a full-body deep freeze, and theyre a great choice for people who want a powerful and invigorating treatment.
Whole-body and full-body cryotherapy machines typically cost between $30,000 and $280,000. Youll often find them in wellness centers, sports facilities, and dedicated cryotherapy clinics.
Localized cryotherapy machines, on the other hand, target specific areas of the body that need attention. They deliver a more gentle and personalized treatment, focusing on localized concerns without subjecting the entire body to extreme cold.
If youre looking for a targeted approach to address specific areas of pain or inflammation, localized cryotherapy is a good option. Instead of stepping into a chamber, you can receive treatment directly on the problem area. Localized cryotherapy machines can provide relief for sore joints, aching muscles, and nagging injuries.
Localized cryotherapy machines are typically more affordable than whole-body machines, with prices starting at around $7,500.
Choosing between electric and nitrogen doesnt matter for localized cryotherapy machines as they are fairly similar in terms of pricing and efficiency. But when it comes to whole-body and full-body machines, the decision ultimately boils down to two key factors: the ability to tailor the temperature to individual users and, of course, budget.
We like to distinguish 3 types of machines:
Nitrogen cryo machines deliver a powerful blast of cold, reaching temperatures as low as -196°C. While this extreme cold might seem appealing, maintaining precise temperature control can be challenging due to the rapid expansion of nitrogen gas within these machines. Additionally, managing the nitrogen supply, often stored in large 220-liter tanks, can be labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Pros:
Cons:
Electric machines with active cooling take a different approach, offering real-time temperature adjustment based on the users skin temperature. They create a bone-chilling experience by chilling the chamber to around -4°F (-20°C)and utilizing powerful blowers to deliver the sensation of cold.
Pros:
Cons:
Designed specifically for businesses or teams accommodating multiple users simultaneously, electric machines without active cooling maintain a stable temperature range, usually around -130°F to -166°F (-90°C to -110°C). They offer a highly safe environment for users and can handle multiple individuals during a single session. However, they come with their own set of challenges, including a complex installation process, lengthy cooldown times, and high reliance on the manufacturer for repairs and maintenance.
Pros:
Cons:
Cryotherapy machine cost from $7,000 to $280,000, depending on the model, brand, features, and technology incorporated.
Let me save you some time with the following table that shows what you can afford based on your budget. I took in consideration the average cost of installation and the potentially required renovations/fittings to install machines.
