Whittier Fitness Boot Camp & Training Facility, Minneapolis

Committed athletes understand that training—not competition—is the hardest part of their job. The staff at Serial Chillers aims to ease that burden with a selection of recovery-based services. Chief among them is whole-body cryotherapy. Used by professional athletes the world over, this therapy eschews the gruelingly long, sometimes painful process of sitting in an ice bath by exposing the body to super-cooled air. At hundreds of degrees below zero, the body enjoys the same benefits of a 20- or 30-minute ice bath in 3 minutes or fewer. Serial Chillers also offers NormaTec Compression therapy. This innovative system wraps legs in a specialized pressure sleeve that pulses rhythmically. The compression and decompression mimics the body's natural detoxification system, encouraging new, refreshed material to wash into damaged, achy tissues while clearing away the waste. Together, cryotherapy and compression therapy may greatly reduce recovery time so clients can get back to the hard work at hand.
