As a long-time health and wellness advocate, Joni Van Horn believes prioritizing wellness is making a personal upgrade. With this mindset, she opened In The Zone Cryo + Health Upgrades last December as a way to help others better themselves.

“I have been a wellness warrior for 20 years, and I love to support the body with its natural healing process,” says Van Horn. In The Zone offers cryotherapy, infrared sauna, red light therapy, cold laser therapy, body contouring, compression therapy, personal training, physical therapy, and aesthetics. “We want to lock arms with people and help them transform,” she explains. “We are their partners in healing and prevention.”

The most popular services at In The Zone are cryotherapy and InstaSculpt body contouring. Cryotherapy is used to help improve or manage rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, and inflammatory diseases by surrounding the body in a sauna with cold liquid nitrogen gas for three minutes. Additionally, cryotherapy can help with depression and anxiety disorders, relieve inflammation in athletes, and promote healing after an injury. It can even burn about 500 calories in three minutes.

Van Horn used to struggle with arthritis, and the pain went away after she began using cryotherapy. “If the body

has the capacity to heal itself, it’s only going to do so if given the right internal environment,” she explains. She hopes to add localized cryotherapy soon as a way to help with inflammation in targeted places on the body. “What we provide here are cutting edge, alternative ways to help the body self-heal,” she says.

Van Horn says that when the student is ready, the teacher shows up. She has been a student of health and wellness for years, and now she seeks to be a teacher to others who are ready to begin a wellness journey.

Many In The Zone clients say they sleep better, feel better, and even look and feel younger after using the services offered. John Murphy has used cryotherapy, InstaSculpt, and personal training from In The Zone and stands by its effectiveness and usefulness for helping your body. “It’s improving how my body recovers and functions,” John says.

John has been exercising hard for the last five years and used to frequently be sore, but he no longer experiences soreness after beginning cryotherapy sessions. Additionally, he said InstaSculpt helped him target some hard-to-tone areas. “The vibe of [In The Zone] is awesome,” he adds. “Everyone there wants to improve your life.”

Services can be bought individually or in membership packages. The memberships are unique because they can be shared with friends and family and do not expire. In The Zone also makes regular donations to the Starfish Project to give back to the community and support local nonprofits.

“We want to lock arms with people and help them transform,” Van Horn says. “We are their partner in healing and prevention.”
