COLD

Helix ice baths and cryotherapy — for home and facility

Cold is the most in-demand recovery modality in the UK, and the Helix Cold range covers every way to deliver it — from a home ice bath in the garden to whole-body cryotherapy chambers and local cryotherapy for commercial sites. Whether you are building a cold habit at home or fitting out a gym, recovery studio, physiotherapy clinic or elite performance facility, the mechanism is the same. Only the scale changes.

Cryotherapy chambers vs ice baths

Whole-body cryotherapy exposes the body to extreme cold air for two to three minutes. Helix offers electric chambers — such as the Cryo Hybrid and Cryo Q ONE, which reach a perceived −110°C with no nitrogen — and nitrogen chambers like the Cryo Total for sites that want the deepest cold. Ice baths deliver cold-water immersion at 3–10°C with built-in chilling and filtration: the Helix Ice Bath comes round or oval, suits indoor or outdoor use, and works as well in a garden as it does on a gym floor.

Which cold system is right for you?

At home, an ice bath is the natural starting point — buy online, install indoors or out, and train daily. For facilities, boutique studios and clinics often begin with an ice bath or a local cryotherapy unit, then add a chamber as demand proves out; high-throughput gyms and performance centres favour electric chambers for fast turnaround and nitrogen-free operation. Every Helix cold system is built to daily-duty standards, with the filtration, chilling and reliability repeated use demands.
