A commercial cryotherapy chamber costs $25,000–30,000 for an entry electric cryosauna, $65,000–100,000 for a single-guest whole-body chamber and $150,000–280,000 for a multi-guest or multi-room suite. Used units sell for $5,000–65,000. Our walk-in Cryo X1 is $69,900, published below, with delivery, installation and training included.
The purchase price is only half the story. A cheap nitrogen unit can cost more over five years than an electric chamber three times its price. This guide covers both numbers.
Cryotherapy chamber cost by tier
These bands come from our research across commercial manufacturers and resellers in 2026. Most premium brands do not publish prices, so treat the ranges as what buyers are actually quoted.
| Tier | What you get | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Used / pre-owned | Older cryosaunas and chambers, varied condition and warranty | $5,000–65,000 |
| Entry | Single-guest cryosauna, head out, electric or nitrogen | $20,000–35,000 |
| Mid-range | Single-guest walk-in chamber, head in, electric | $65,000–100,000 |
| Flagship | Two- to four-guest chambers, multi-room suites with an anteroom | $150,000–280,000 |
The jump from entry to mid-range is mostly about format. A cryosauna cools the body with the head outside. A walk-in chamber takes the whole guest inside at a colder, more stable temperature, and needs a bigger refrigeration system to do it. Our cryosauna vs cryotherapy chamber guide explains the difference in detail.

What drives the price of a cryotherapy machine
Electric vs nitrogen cooling
This is the biggest single factor, and it pulls in two directions. Nitrogen units are cheaper to build because the cold comes from a tank of liquid nitrogen, not a refrigeration system. Electric units need cascade compressors, heat exchangers and controls, so they cost more upfront. Then the running costs flip: nitrogen runs $3,000–5,000 a month at clinic volume, while a single-guest electric chamber like our X1 runs about $140–200. See electric vs nitrogen cryotherapy for the 5-year numbers.
Head-in vs head-out
A cryosauna (head out) cools a smaller volume and usually reaches −90 °C (−130 °F) on electric or colder vapour on nitrogen. A walk-in chamber (head in) holds the whole cabin at around −110 °C (−166 °F) with the guest fully inside. More cold volume, more insulation and more safety systems mean a higher price.
Guests per session
A single-guest chamber serves up to about 10 guests an hour. Larger multi-guest chambers on the market often add a pre-chamber and more cooling capacity. The price goes up, but so does capacity per hour.
Installation and site work
Delivery, rigging and commissioning can add $3,000–15,000 when a supplier does not include them. Larger chambers ship as modules and may need a crane, a wider door or a floor check. We include standard install in the contiguous US and quote unusual access separately. See installation.
Freight
Chambers ship by LTL or dedicated truck. Outside the contiguous US, expect freight, import duty and a technician travel charge on top. Always ask whether a quote is ex-works or delivered.
Warranty and service
Warranties range from 1 year on budget imports to 3 years on flagship suites. A longer parts-and-labour warranty with a local technician network is worth real money, because a chamber that is down is a service you are not selling. Our terms are on service and warranty.
Hidden costs to budget for
These are the costs we see buyers miss most often. Budget them before you compare sticker prices.
| Cost | Electric chamber | Nitrogen cryosauna | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical work | Dedicated three-phase circuit for walk-in chambers | Standard outlet | $0–8,000 |
| Ventilation and O₂ monitoring | O₂ monitor included on walk-in chambers | Room ventilation plus wall-mounted O₂ monitor required | $500–6,000 |
| Nitrogen supply contract | Not needed | Dewar rental, delivery fees, liquid nitrogen | $3,000–5,000 / month |
| Insurance | Equipment and liability cover | Same, sometimes with a nitrogen-storage rider | $100–400 / month |
| Staff | Trained operator for each session | Same, plus nitrogen handling | Part of existing wages or $15–25 / hour |
| Room fit-out | Flooring, lighting, changing area | Same, plus dewar storage | $2,000–20,000 |
Electrical work
Walk-in electric chambers need a dedicated three-phase commercial supply. Many commercial units already have one; if yours does not, an upgrade can cost several thousand dollars. We send an electrical spec to your electrician before you order so the number is known. Details are in room and power requirements.
Ventilation and oxygen monitoring for nitrogen
Nitrogen displaces oxygen. A nitrogen cryosauna room needs air exchange and a wall-mounted oxygen monitor with an alarm. Some sites also need a separate ventilated area for the dewar. Whoever supplies the unit should specify the monitor and ventilation, but your contractor does the ductwork. See cryotherapy chamber safety.
Nitrogen contract
Liquid nitrogen is a monthly bill, not a one-off. Suppliers charge for the gas, delivery, and often dewar rental. Some product also boils off while it sits in storage, even on days you run few sessions. That is why a nitrogen unit bought for about $25,000 can cost $180,000–300,000 in nitrogen alone over five years.
Insurance and staff
Your insurer will want to know about the equipment, your operating procedures and your staff training. Every session needs a trained operator present. In most spas and gyms this is an existing team member, but budget the hours.
Financing and lease payments
Most operators finance. Equipment leases and loans spread the cost over 36–60 months, and the chamber can start earning in the first month. Estimated monthly payment:
| Model | Price | Lease est. |
|---|---|---|
| Cryo X1 | $69,900 | ≈$1,450/mo |
Estimates assume a typical 60-month term and good business credit. Your rate depends on the lender, term, down payment and your credit profile. US businesses may be able to use Section 179 to deduct equipment purchases; ask your accountant. More on financing.
Compare that with nitrogen. A $25,000 nitrogen cryosauna might lease for around $500 a month, but its nitrogen bill is $3,000–5,000 a month. The X1 lease plus electricity is roughly $1,600–1,650 a month in total. Monthly, the more expensive chamber is often the cheaper one to own.
ROI summary
Operators commonly charge $40–90 per session and report $15,000–25,000 a month in cryo revenue, with payback in 6–14 months. The biggest levers are:
- Bookings per day. Most operators run 15–40 sessions a day on a single-guest chamber.
- Session price and memberships. Monthly unlimited plans smooth revenue and raise visit frequency.
- Running cost. Nitrogen can take $3,000–5,000 a month off the top. A single-guest electric chamber takes a few hundred dollars at most.
As an illustrative example with round numbers: 20 sessions a day at $50, 26 days a month, is $26,000 in gross revenue. On an X1, subtracting a $1,450 lease, about $200 in electricity and other operating costs, the chamber could pay for itself well inside the market’s 6–14 month range. Your figures will differ. The operating cost and ROI guide has a full breakdown and a calculator you can run with your own numbers.
