I have been coming to District Cryo for 2 months as a last resort to manage my pain, awaiting a hip replacement operation. The pain I was experiencing was extreme and I could not find relief without the probability of resorting to prescription medications. After researching the services District Cryo offers, I tried it and as a result, my inflammation and pain decreased dramatically and I could walk without discomfort. I highly recommend their other services. Every time I go to District Cryo, I leave feeling immediate benefits and a greater sense of well being. The staff is very helpful, friendly and well informed about their services. read more

I was completely misled to sign for 10 sessions. I spoke with one of the managers and he lied to me saying that I can cancel at anytime. After 2 sessions I realize that their "cold treatment" doesn't work at all. I live an hour away and every "manager" keeps hiding to avoid returning my money. I can't keep driving to this place. I have been trying to get my money for 3 month now. Dont waste your money and go anywhere else. read more

Andrew was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the cryotherapy process. He answered all of my questions and put me at ease. Even though I started to shake at -180 degrees, it was surprisingly comfortable and didn't hurt at all. I'm definitely looking forward to trying another session within a week for my shoulder. read more

I had been looking for a good sauna spot and this one fit the bill and then some. Super friendly staff, centrally located (great when the green line is running), good and clean equipment, and moderate prices. I've only used the infrared sauna (they have a small one and a large one) so I can't comment on the cryo services. You might want to research any smart wearables (Garmin, bluetooth headphones, etc) before bringing them in with you, fortunately both sauna options have a TV with sound wired in to help pass the time. Great way to get your heart rate up and burn some calories while doing nothing (maybe obvious to most but this was new to me!) Quick accessibility note: there are steps you have to go up as the saunas are on the second floor. Recommend to anyone looking for sauna services, I'll definitely be back. read more

DistrictCryo - Lobby area - Medical Spas Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I highly recommend everything about this place! I always feel amazing and relaxed after leaving. I've tried the CryoContour, Infrared sauna, Cryo Therapy, and Lymphatic Drainage Massage and want to keep coming back for it all! It's great to combine the treatments too- start with something cold and finish with the sauna. I've noticed a difference in my skin, it feels more glowing. The contour has helped smooth my stomach area. I'm hoping to try their other services as well. Both the DC and Alexandria locations are inviting and clean. The staff is beyond wonderful- so friendly, helpful, and they make you feel comfortable and important. Shout to Sydney! Chu was also very accommodating when the DC location had to close for a few days during the NATO summit and fit me in at the Alexandria location- I'm so thankful for that. Everyone needs to try this place and they will be hooked! read more

A lot of people have reached out to me after posting on social media what my experience was so I have to really be honest that this just wasn't for me. The staff was nice and the cryo experience was interesting but I had zero benefit and possibly caused some harm. I did the intro 2 sessions for $69. DAY 1: 5/27/18 Post-Workout: After 45min Spin Class and 1.5 hour Lower Body Circuit Weight Training (Leg/Calves/Glutes/Abs) 3 min Whole Body Cryotherapy Level 1 30 min Normatec Compression (+$10) *Result: Null. Did not feel anything at all.* DAY 2: 5/28/18 *Woke up extremely sore, more than usual after working out but let's see if day 2 will make a difference.* Pre-Workout: 2 hour Upper Body Circuit Weight Training (Biceps/Back/Triceps/Chest/ShoulderAbs) 3 min Whole Body Cryotherapy Level 2 (was told -30 degrees lower than level 1) 30 min Normatec Compression (+$10) *Result: I was very red and tingly after level 2 which was fine and I was pretty cold the rest of the day, I ended up wearing sweats and a fleece for the remainder of the day.* DAY 3: 5/29/18 *Woke up still very sore, more than usual on day 3 after doing lower and body circuit - odd because usually my split day feels fine/recovered.* VERDICT: It's super cold, worse than I expected and the last 30 seconds feels like a lifetime. They will direct you to sometimes do a 360 turn while in the cryo. The issue right now is that my left nipple literally feels frostbitten - not kidding. I might have to go see a doctor because it's pretty painful. DISCLAIMER: I am in training for a bikini bodybuilding competition and my level of workouts are pretty intense - 30+ cardio sessions/month (45-90 min/day) and 20+ weight lifting sessions/month. I'm well conditioned at this point and cryotherapy and compression therapy did not work on me, perhaps I'm a rare case since other people seem to have had a good experience. I've just never been this uncomfortable or sore in 5 months of training. For $89, it was worth a try for the potential reboot but I think I might have set myself back. read more

Could not be more disappointed to have to update this review. The 'team leader', Chu, caused an injury through operator error and not only could not take responsibility but attempted to blame other staff and poor training. read more

Lilly at District Cryo is amazing. Knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. Great experience, especially if Lilly is there!!

A must for both the pro and weekend warriors. Much better than an ice bath, and the compression therapy is amazing after long runs. read more

Have had excellent experiences so far. Was new to and a little skeptical of Cryo to start, but their team was incredible at explaining the process, benefits and just creating an overall great experience. Highly recommend DistrictCryo. read more

This was my first time trying cryotherapy. As a result of a new workout regiment, my body has been sore for a lot lover than usual which has prevented me from getting back in the gym as quickly as I liked. I decided to give DistrictCryo a try and was thoroughly impressed! First, the atmosphere was amazing. Excellent location, friendly staff, and the ambiance was really nice. It gives off a vibe closer to a fitness "lounge" than a lab. The cryo session: this was the sole purpose of my visit and I can easily say I will be going back again. The owner greeted me hisself and was very helpful in explaining to me the process, the benefits and exactly "how" cryotherapy rejuvenates the body. After being briefed, I entered the chamber and was able to last the full 3 mins. For anyone super nervous about lasting a full session, it's really not that bad. Once I got out, I felt AMAZING. Not only do you get an invigorating rush, I felt my soreness subsided and it was like my body hit a reset button. Wasn't expecting to see the results so quickly. Def recommend this for newbies as well as seasoned cryo users. After the session, I decided to try the normatec sleeves. It was great to set up on the recliners with the TV's going and just relax while the normatec sleeves massaged my muscles. I then decided to try the alterG low gravity treadmill, because I'm a child at heart and thought it looked cool. I wasn't wrong. It felt like what I imagine running on the moon would feel like. Looks like it would be great for runners who wish to reduce impact on their joints but still get a good run. Overall the experience was great and I ended up signing up for a membership. Since the cryo sessions are so quick, this is something I'm gonna try to start doing on my lunch break. Def recommend to experienced users as well as newbies! read more

Love this place and had a great experience with Antwan and his team! Cyrotherapy is the future for overall wellness, injury therapy, and anti-aging! I am so happy that DistrictCyro is conveniently located! You owe it to yourselves to try it! read more

I initially tried cryotherapy because a friend told me he lost 15 lbs. by going to cryotherapy 3-4 times a week over a 5-6 week period. It sounded too good to be true (and may be..time will tell). After researching cryotherapy, I realized weight loss *may* happen but the real benefit is a faster recovery after working out. I have a number of sports/workout related injuries and going to cryotherapy has helped immensely. I'm less sore and less dependent on over the counter anti-inflammatories. My work outs are more intense as a result. Overall, it's been a great addition to my routine. read more

This was my first time with Cryo and I couldn't imagine a better place to start. The staff is relaxed and kind and the multiple experiences they have for the body are superb. I did the Cryo into the Infared Sauna and also the compression treatment...my body felt the benefits immediately and now I've been here three times this week! I recommend this experience for anyone whether you are an athlete or someone that wants their body to rejuvenate and heal. I also recommend the facial! Thanks you District Cryo! read more

Three sessions at DistrictCryo and I'm loving it. The location is pretty convenient (Near Mount Vernon Metro Station) and the staff are very warm and friendly. They really make you feel at home. The Cryo treatments are pretty good. Be prepared to freeze ;-) read more

Been going here a week and have had 5 sessions. Love it! I have seen my tendinitis getting better as well as some weight loss benefits. Overall, I think it is helping me recover faster so I can get back to my normal workout routine. read more

1st class STAFF. 1st class Clinic. Be proactive and not reactive to keeping your body 100%. Good stuff here people.

Great facility and great staff, I've only had 3 sessions but I already feel a difference in some nagging injuries I've had since college. I was on the fence on coming in but glad I did and look forward to many more sessions. read more

What an awesome place with a very attending and caring staff! If you ever want to feel what it is like to put your whole body on ice and keep feeling it throughout the day in order to reduce inflammation, you have found it! I'm in my early 40's with a body that feels 75 on some days, especially after long workout routines or days of exercising. The staff here are knowledgeable, courteous, and very attentive. I get in, receive great service, therapy via top of the line cryo-equipment, and walk home in NOMA. Prayers answered read more

DistrictCryo is amazing! I was visiting DC for the holidays and wanted to give it a try. Initially, I went in to get some work done on my foot to help with tendinitis. The treatment on my foot went so well that I ended up wanting to try the full body cryo. After talking to Antwain, I was convinced to give it a shot. He patiently answered all of my questions and assured me it would feel great. Once my family saw how much I enjoyed the full session they were all convinced to try a full cryo session as well. We all loved it. I'm sure that my family will return. If I lived in the area I would return regularly. All in all it was an excellent experience. The session itself great and the service from Antwain was outstanding. Highly recommend for anyone to try. Thank you District Cryo. My foot already feels 10x better!!! read more

Cold...but awesome experience! I had two whole body sessions and one localized session. I felt the benefits immediately and the pain in my shoulder was greatly reduced. Looking forward to my next session. read more

Their amenities are amazing and the staff is very welcoming. Truly regenerative and relaxing experience, especially if you're an athlete.

After my first month of unlimited cryo sauna usage I am delighted to review this wonderful establishment. I went, on average, 5 times a week. Everyone who works there makes you feel welcome and taken care of. You're in and out in 15 minutes and leave with a smile on your face and a bounce in your walk! My main reason for trying cryotherapy was chronic back pain. I do level 2 (numbing cold) for three minutes, after which the pain disappears completely and is alleviated for around 6 hours. An added benefit is the endorphin rush, giving me a natural high for a couple of hours after the treatment. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a natural boost and some pain relief. read more

I've always wanted to try this, and I am so happy I did! Antoine is a true professional and made the experience a great one. Not only is it good for muscle recovery but it honestly got rid of my hangover too! Highly recommended! read more
