From Lahore Summers to -150°C 🥶 My Cryotherapy Wild Ride in Munich

Let's be real, if you're from Lahore like me, Munich winters are already a massive shock. Forget 45-50 degrees, we're talking about below zero here! After eight years in Germany, I was feeling like a pro at handling the cold... until I stumbled upon cryotherapy.

Imagine this: willingly stepping into a chamber with temperatures between -110°C and -180°C. Why? Apparently, it does wonders like speeding up muscle recovery and burning crazy calories. Top athletes swear by it, and I figured, hey, if I can handle Munich winters, this is a breeze, right? 😅

As my CryoPoint appointment got closer, that initial excitement started to turn into straight-up nerves. I was glued to YouTube videos and safety articles – talk about fueling the fire!

The day finally came, and let's just say the registration form did NOT help my anxiety. Heart problems? Check. Sensitive lungs? Check. Plus, the staff wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. But hey, it was go-time!

Socks, gloves, hat – I was ready to rumble. Then I stepped into that icy chamber... and HOLY FREEZE it was COLD -150°C 🥶. My body went from normal to popsicle in seconds flat. Three minutes felt like an eternity, and the loud music meant to be motivating was mostly just distracting.

Once I was back in the land of warmth, I barely felt a thing. But a few hours later, the exhaustion hit hard. Turns out, freezing yourself burns major calories! 😅 Honestly, I was so proud of myself for trying this wild experience.

My verdict? Cryotherapy is a must-try (at least once!). It's intense, refreshing, and maybe even a little bit life-changing. Just be prepared for the cold...and the cost!
