If you're ramping up your training—running more, lifting heavier, or stacking in extra workouts—your body takes on more stress. And with that comes soreness, inflammation, and the risk of injury.
But what if your recovery could keep pace with your performance?
At Cryo Fitness Penrith, our clients are finding exactly what they're looking for. Cryotherapy is helping them bounce back faster, move more freely, and stay in the game longer.

What Is Cryotherapy?
Whole-body cryotherapy involves stepping into a chamber cooled to between -110°C and -140°C for just 2–3 minutes. This intense cold exposure triggers a systemic response, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, relieving soreness, and accelerating recovery.
The science is strong, but it’s the real-world results that speak volumes.
Real People. Real Recovery.
Arlene "Angerfist" Blencowe, professional athlete:
“Awesome cryotherapy session! Really helped with my recovery and reduced soreness after training. The staff are great—a game-changer for athletes!”
Aaron Trevarthen came to Cryo Fitness looking for an alternative to manage injuries:
What motivated you to try cryotherapy? “I’ve been struggling with some injuries and wanted to try alternatives to help improve.” How did you feel after your first session?“ Amazing! It’s crazy how the benefits kick in right away.” What changes have you noticed? “Reduced inflammation. Fewer aches. I’m moving more freely, and my injuries have decreased in pain.” How has it helped your fitness routine? “It’s definitely sped up my recovery and been a great extra to my rehab.” Would you recommend it? “Absolutely. It’s already worked wonders for me. Whether it’s for injury, pain relief, or just feeling better—it’s worth it.”
Gina Field and her husband have made cryo part of their weekly routine:
“My husband was limping for months and always complained about his knee. Since going weekly, he doesn’t complain—and he doesn’t limp anymore! I go purely for the invigorating, amazing feeling and the benefits. Clark is such an amazing host—we love going!”
The Science Behind Cryo Recovery
Cryotherapy isn’t a trend—it’s backed by clinical research and supported by user experience:
Reduced Muscle Soreness – Studies show whole-body cryotherapy can significantly reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).
Inflammation Control – The cold exposure constricts blood vessels, slowing inflammatory responses tied to overuse injuries.
Better Sleep, Faster Healing – Cryo stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you sleep deeper, when most recovery happens.

Runners are increasing their weekly mileage
