We recommend wearing comfortable athletic clothing with NO METAL on them. You must remove all metal from your person before entering the whole body cryotherapy chamber. If you have a piercing that cannot be removed, we will provide you with something to cover it with. You MUST cover your feet, ankles, hands, and ears.
