About District Cryo

District Cryo holds the distinction of being Washington DC's first whole-body cryotherapy lounge, pioneering recovery science in the nation's capital from its location at 1300 9th Street NW in the Shaw neighborhood. Since opening, it has expanded its service menu beyond its cryotherapy roots to offer a comprehensive suite of recovery and rejuvenation treatments including full-spectrum infrared sauna, red light therapy, IV therapy, lymphatic drainage massage, body contouring, CryoFacials, and local cryotherapy for targeted treatment of specific joints or muscle groups. The full-spectrum infrared sauna at District Cryo delivers far, mid, and near-infrared wavelengths across private cabin sessions, with red light components built into the spectrum to stimulate photobiomodulation alongside the thermal therapy. This combination supports detoxification through deep perspiration, reduces systemic inflammation, accelerates post-exercise recovery, and promotes skin rejuvenation through collagen stimulation. The cryo-plus-infrared contrast protocol is especially popular among the studio's athletic clientele, leveraging the opposing physiological responses — vasoconstriction from cold, vasodilation from heat — to maximize circulatory flushing of metabolic waste. District Cryo serves a diverse DC clientele ranging from government and Capitol Hill professionals to Georgetown University athletes and fitness enthusiasts from the surrounding Shaw, Logan Circle, and U Street neighborhoods. The studio operates six days a week with Sunday morning availability, and the team maintains a strong reputation for cleanliness, client education, and personalized service. Pricing is positioned competitively, with single sessions and membership packages available through their online booking platform.
