What makes US Cryotherapy different

Unlike most cryotherapy studio brands, US Cryotherapy manufactures its own proprietary C1 (small-center) and C4 chambers through a contracted partner in the greater Sacramento area and sells them directly via a "Purchase Equipment" channel separate from the franchise offer — an operator can buy the equipment and run independently, or franchise into the branded system. Whole-body sessions run 2–3.5 minutes at -110°F to -180°F, distinct from the more common -150°F to -250°F nitrogen-chamber format used by many competitors.

US Cryotherapy is a family-owned (Kramer family) cold-therapy studio brand founded in 2011 in Roseville, CA, now headquartered in Davis, CA. It operates and franchises whole-body cryotherapy centers built around proprietary C1/C4 cryo chambers it also manufactures and sells as standalone equipment. The brand offers both a franchise track and direct equipment purchase for independent operators.

Two counts, side by side

The brand's own unit count and Praxium's verified-location count measure different things and are shown unreconciled.

Praxium’s own count — locations we linked to this brand, one by one.

units claimed by the brand · as of 2026

2026-08-10 — Brand's own locations page (https://www.uscryotherapy.com/locations/), fetched 2026-08-10: 5 locations listed (Danville CA, Davis CA, Roseville CA, Fort Hood TX military base, Salt Lake City UT). For contrast, the brand's own About page reported 25 treatment centers (19 franchise, 6 company-owned) as of "late 2019" — the brand has contracted sharply since, or many former franchisees have de-branded/closed. Neither page distinguishes franchise vs. corporate for the current 5.

Franchise availability Open — per the brand's own materials. A status, not an endorsement.
