Conversation with Rainer Bolsinger | Art of Cryo

Intensity defines modern leadership. And wherever intensity rules, structured recovery becomes non-negotiable. Once reserved for elite sports professionals, whole-body cryotherapy has matured into a strategic tool for founders, investors, executives, and creatives who treat vitality as capital.

Art of Cryo anticipated this evolution. German engineering, multi-sensory design, and data-backed protocols form the foundation of the Total Systemic Method (TSM). Dry contrast pre-conditioning, precisely calibrated Vaultz™ chambers, and integrated technologies create measurable physiological effects in under 30 minutes. This is not boutique wellness — this is performance infrastructure.

We spoke with Rainer Bolsinger, Chief Marketing Officer of Art of Cryo and Chair of the Cryotherapy Initiative at the Global Wellness Institute, to explore the science, the momentum, and the best places in Europe to experience cryo at its highest level.

Cryospots: Rainer, let’s get straight to it. Cryotherapy has clearly moved beyond the boutique niche. What’s driving the shift into the mainstream?

Rainer: The market no longer accepts relaxation alone — it demands regulation. Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) has been shown to help manage inflammation, relieve muscular tension, stabilize mood, release endorphins, improve sleep, and — as I like to put it — deliver a neural reset, all in under three minutes. What once served elite athletes now acts as a lifestyle protocol for high performers who manage their energy with the same precision they apply to their output. Less burnout, more vitality — powered by mental resets, endorphins, and stronger resilience.

Cryospots: You and your team help shape the global cryotherapy landscape. What sets your methodology apart?

Rainer: Art of Cryo delivers a fully controlled, measurable, and repeatable whole-body cryotherapy experience. Precision is the core of our technology — but ambiance elevates the impact. Every element we design — from our Vaultz™ chambers to our sensory experience tunnels — is engineered to produce a shift on physical, mental, and emotional levels. At the heart is our full-body protocol, TSM: a curated sequence that blends cryo with preparatory treatments to amplify results. Smart, efficient, and made for modern schedules — two 30-minute sessions per week are enough to spark real change.

Cryospots: What are the science-backed benefits?

Rainer: Initially, cryo was adopted to regulate inflammation, aid recovery, and build resilience. Today, it’s used to support sleep optimization, cognitive performance, and preventive health. Athletes rely on WBC for faster recovery and improved endurance. For longevity seekers, the effects are quickly felt: greater mental clarity, consistent energy levels, deeper sleep, and a tangible boost in vitality. Over time, people integrate cold exposure into proactive routines that optimize healthspan, not just lifespan.

Cryospots: Cold is often paired with heat or other modalities. How does Art of Cryo evolve this contrast approach?

Rainer: Contrast therapy is ancient — think Roman frigidariums or Nordic plunges — but we offer a modern, dry format. Our systems combine deep-tissue warmth with booster elements like air ionization, fragrance infusion, and performance lighting. These components prepare the body before cold exposure, enhancing the effect without demanding more time or energy. The result? Better circulation, improved mood, and a more resilient nervous system. Efficient, immersive, and clean — ideal for performance hubs and high-end wellness spaces alike.

Cryospots: Where is cryotherapy headed next — especially in spas and performance centers?

Rainer: Our TSM Circles are the next leap forward. They let operators combine multiple interventions into a single structured 30-minute session — saving time, amplifying outcomes, and appealing to high-output clients. Twice-weekly visits are enough to trigger noticeable change while remaining enjoyable and socially engaging.

Our large-format TSM installations — like multi-user experience tunnels — control light, scent, air, and temperature with precision. This creates efficient, sensory-driven recovery while improving client satisfaction and reducing labor. This level of design thinking is exactly what today’s user expects — which is why we’re scaling. Coolzoone Madeira, for example, proves that immersive, results-focused regeneration is in demand beyond the clinical setting.
