“I got big experience in other russian banyas. I tell you this one in Buenos Aires even more more better than any banyan in Sochi)))) Gafarov is a very good level and sauna and banya. Maybe just to put a bit more heaters in the winter time ) And maybe to make one day with mixed visitors women and men? Argentina libertad this is called FFK culture in Europe. Very clean space, no mold. Good sauna standards, a big space for many people. Clean and fresh. Good steam. Cool pool. Second wet turkish hamam was a great surprise ))) Wish you very Good luck, guys!!!! #ionkinberg_travel”
“Excellent sauna. The heat was amazing. The garlic sauna experience was very enjoyable. The only thing lacking is the cold plunge—i wish it was colder. Though the pool and the plunge they have is good enough for most people. I just like more extreme cold plunges.”
“My friend and I got massages here, they were incredibly accommodating to our needs and well priced. Highly recommend”

Evidence & context
What research says about cold therapy
Recovery
Reviews of whole-body cold therapy mostly show effects on perceived muscle soreness and recovery after intense exercise. The evidence base is heterogeneous and samples are often small.
Research base
Studies describe short-term effects on pain perception and mobility. Results are inconsistent and robust long-term data is largely missing — a therapeutic benefit is not established.
Limitations
Cold therapy does not replace medical treatment. Effect, dosage and frequency vary individually — pre-existing conditions require medical clearance beforehand.
