Alpha Cryo

Overview

Alpha Cryo is a premier wellness spa in the DC area specializing in infrared saunas enhanced with Himalayan salt therapy, alongside whole body cryotherapy (WBC) and NormaTec compression therapy. The facility offers a modern, spa-like environment focused on recovery, pain relief, detoxification, and performance optimization.

• Facility Type: State-of-the-art infrared sauna rooms combined with cryotherapy chambers and compression therapy stations, creating a comprehensive recovery center rather than a traditional hot sauna.
• Atmosphere and Experience: Relaxing and invigorating with sun-filled treatment rooms providing maximum privacy, Wi-Fi-connected smart TVs, and a professional, safe setting. Clients enjoy quick sessions (2-3 minutes for cryo, 30 minutes for sauna/compression) that promote deep relaxation, mood enhancement, and post-session energy boosts. The dry, controlled cold/heat experiences feel comfortable, with no moisture or extreme discomfort.
