Top Pick: In The Zone Cryo (Overland Park)
In The Zone Cryo. The cold side here is whole-body cryotherapy rather than a tub of water. You step into a cryochamber cooled with nitrogen vapor to between -200°F and -220°F for about three minutes, a trained technician stays with you the whole session, and the studio provides gloves, socks and slippers. Pair it with the infrared sauna and red light therapy for heat, then finish with NormaTec compression. Cold laser therapy is on the menu too.
As of November 2026, its website lists a first session for new clients at about $29 and a regular single session at about $39 (cryo, sauna and red light are interchangeable), NormaTec at $19, and an unlimited sauna, compression and cryo membership at $299 a month. It's open Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm and weekends 11am to 4pm, at 7102 College Blvd, and it's rated 5.0 across 284 Google reviews, the most-reviewed studio on this list. One honest note: there's no cold plunge tub here, so if you specifically want cold water, pair it with a plunge studio below. In The Zone Cryo is a Featured studio on Contrast Therapy Finder, which means it pays for a premium listing with us.
Cryotherapy or Cold Plunge?
Both are cold exposure, but they feel different. Cryotherapy is dry, very cold air for a few minutes, and you stay dry. A cold plunge is water, usually somewhere in the 40s or 50s °F, for a few minutes at a time, and you get wet. If you hate the idea of getting into icy water, cryo is the easier first step. If you want the classic hot-then-cold contrast routine, a sauna and plunge studio is the better fit. New to all of it? Read sauna before or after a cold plunge.
How Much Does a Sauna and Cold Plunge Cost in Kansas City?
