Stepping Into the Cold: How Cryotherapy Ignites Strength and Resilience

At Icebox, we believe wellness isn’t just about recovery—it’s about rediscovering your strength, clarity, and confidence in every season of life. And sometimes, that journey starts in a chamber nearly -200°F cold.

One of our incredible clients, Yanira Puy—Wellness Strategist, Keynote Speaker, and Latina Empowerment Advocate—recently experienced cryotherapy for the very first time. Her story captures exactly what Icebox is all about: choosing growth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Here’s what she shared:

“Yesterday, I did cryotherapy for the very first time.
If you’ve never done it, imagine this: you step into a chamber that’s nearly -200°F and stand there for three minutes while freezing air wraps around your body.

Sounds intense, right?
It is.
And it’s exactly why I did it.”

Yanira chose her song—Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen—to carry her through the3 minute session. It was more than just background music. It was a reminder to herself: You’ve got this. You can do hard things. And you can even have fun doing them.

When she stepped out of the Icebox, she didn’t just feel less inflamed or more energized (though those benefits came too). She felt alive, clear, and strong reminded of who she is at her core:

• A woman who embraces growth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
• A coach who guides others through transformation.
• A speaker who knows real change often requires stepping into the unknown.

Her words reflect what we see every day at Icebox: cryotherapy is more than a wellness treatment—it’s a mindset. It’s about proving to yourself that discomfort can lead to breakthrough, that resilience is built in the cold, and that your body is capable of more than you imagine.

As Yanira beautifully put it:

“Life will always bring discomfort. But you get to choose what it means.
Does it mean you stop?
Or does it mean you’re being stretched into the next version of yourself?”

At Icebox, we choose the second one—and we invite you to do the same.

Whether you’re looking to reduce inflammation, boost in recovery, sharpen your focus, or simply challenge yourself in a new way, cryotherapy is more than just a session—it’s an experience.

Are you ready to step into the cold and get out of your comfort zone?

Come see us at Icebox and find out just how strong, clear, and alive you can feel.
