"The Ice Chamber has re-energized my workout. Prior to working out with Steve,
exercise had become a boring routine. Steve and I focus on core strengthening
and job specific workouts. Each workout is time efficient, and both mentally and
physically challenging. Within a short time I have already begun to get stronger,
leaner and more defined. The intense training I receive with Steve will assist me
as a firefighter, not only in my endurance and explosive strength, but in saving
lives of others and perhaps my own life."

"Maya and Steve put me to the challenge every time I walk into the Ice Chamber. Being an entertainer,
my fitness goals are extremely specific. Maya and Steve continuously motivate and support me in the
attaining and maintaining of those goals. They are 110% behind me, and that support system has
been awesome. I've found that life at the Ice Chamber mimics life in the real world. If you can get
through the daily challenge of working out and pushing yourself to the limit, then you can push
yourself in every other aspect of life. Maya and Steve live that philosophy and have graciously shared
that with me. They are both exceptional people who are dedicated to the well being of their clients."

It hurt, I yelled and was lying clutching my knee thinking..."oh man, that's it, my BJJ years are over..." . Well the next morning, to my surprise, I walked down our bedroom stairs with just a little stiffness. I've avoided a serious injury and I'm recovering fast.... What made the difference? All of the fantastic training I've been doing with Steve and Maya! There is no doubt in my mind that their conditioning saved me from a serious injury and months off the mat. Thanks guys!"

"Every once in a while you find that special place where you know you belong. The Ice Chamber
is that place for us."
"My wife and I were determined to not sign up for another traditional fitness club – monotonously
moving from machine to machine in an attempt to get fit. We wanted something more. We
wanted to enjoy exercising – even though we did not know what that would look like."
"The Ice Chamber has exceeded all our expectations -- making exercise fun and totally addictive.
They have created a created a variety of dynamic programs of ever changing group exercises
that will challenge the unfit and yet push the most successful athlete."
"The magic, beyond the energy and talent that Steve and Maya bring to their clients, is exercising
in a group – with people who share your goals and constantly encourage you. At the Ice

what the top notch training crew has come up with on any given day… Having retired from
the sport of gymnastics more years ago than I'd like to admit, the IC has allowed me to
see, and to be pleasantly surprised by, what my body is still capable of doing. The
workouts are designed to push you as hard as you want to go, without being discouraging
to the "newbies" (new bootcampers). I could go on, but 10 a.m. Core Class is calling, and
I'm off to my Happy Place."

"I just got back from a week-long backpacking trip in the Wyoming Rockies with Mark Richards
where we covered approximately 80 miles in the high country in the course of 6 days. I started
the trip with a lingering leg/calf-injury which perhaps would have caused many people to
cancel the trip. However, I decided to give it a try – in part because I had the confidence from
several months of Ice Chamber training, that I had good enough conditioning and muscle
strength that could protect the injury. Despite a few dicey moments, I was able to complete the
trip and come back with my leg in better condition than when I started the trip....
"...I thought of the impact that the IC and IC community have had on my life. When I started out,
I just wanted to lose a few pounds. After a while, I realized that in addition to losing some
weight, I’d gained a new way of thinking about myself and about fitness. I started looking
forward to the workouts and to seeing the people that had become part of my weekly routine.
Instead of my goals being “remedial” (to “fix a weight problem”), my fitness goals and sense of
self became positive – being in the best overall shape of my life, strong and flexible. This has
started to impact other parts of my life – rather than trying to ‘solve problems’, I’m starting to
look at how I can create a better, more positive life – and believe that I can do so."

"I have always been an active person, and I love to be outdoors. I’ve spent a lot of time rock
climbing, white water rafting and kayaking, playing ultimate Frisbee, and running. I used to have a
lifestyle that allowed for long trips, like when I backpacked the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to
Mexico. Since having two children, it has been harder for me to figure out how to keep my body
strong. "
"The Ice Chamber has found a unique way of creating an exercise situation that is motivating and
offers quick results. From personal training to the Boot Camp, I always felt like I was pushed to
my personal limit, stretching myself, while always finding success."
"Every time I came to the Ice Chamber, there were new combinations for exercises, so it always
felt stimulating and new, both to my mind and muscles. I always looked forward to going.
The people at the Ice Chamber also clearly value each participant and what they bring to the
program. From the first day, I felt welcomed into their community. I appreciated the constant

"Prior to joining the Ice Chamber, exercise was on the bottom of my list. In the past, I
ran a few miles on occasion, and maybe did some sit-ups, but never had the self
motivation to continue my regimen. After being placed on modified bed rest prior to
the birth of my twins, endured a cesarean section, and diagnosed with
osteoporosis, I felt I had reached my unhealthiest state of being. I had very low
muscle tone and couldn't do a single sit-up or push up. I was mentally exhausted
from being a new parent and had difficulty finding energy. I refused to stay this way
and decided to change my lifestyle."
"Since joining the Ice Chamber, I discovered a part of me I never knew existed: a
person who loves to exercise! Their strength and conditioning program is
challenging, effective, and fun. I'm sure there are programs in the Bay Area that offer
similar services, but none of them have Steve, Maya, and their staff's infectious
energy . Together, they create an intangible sense of community that you just can't
find anywhere else. Thanks to the Ice Chamber, I am the strongest and happiest I've
ever been in my entire life."

"The Ice Chamber for me is the missing link. I am a studio potter. My work in clay
demands movement and strength; from wedging and throwing 8+ pounds of clay to
leaning into a kiln and stacking heavy kiln shelves. I am only 5'3". When I first got started
in ceramics my mentor not only showed me around the clay studio, she also took me to
the gym and said "you are going to need to be strong". I also run, telemark ski, climb,
bike, swim and do yoga. Did I mention two kids? That doesn't leave a lot of time for the
gym, especially the typical 2 hour gym experience where you move from one piece of
equipment to the next in order to achieve a full body work out. That's where the Ice
Chamber comes in. Workouts at the IC are always efficient, complete, challenging,
sweaty and fun! I was pretty fit when I started coming to the IC a year and a half ago, I
thought adding the IC would be a good way to maintain my fitness. What I didn't know
then is how much more the experience would be. I am continually challenged, asked
more of, motivated and entertained by the staff and other people at the Ice Chamber.
Another unexpected benefit of the IC are the friends I have made, not something I can say
about my past gym experiences. I keep getting stronger and the IC brings balance to my
life."

"I've found new excitement and community at the Ice Chamber that I honestly did not believe could happen.
Everyone at the gym is positive, goal-oriented, and entirely supportive of one another's abilities. Working out is
so much more fun when you're around people who want to work hard with you.
Indeed, It's surprising to think that I've discovered new ways to make my body more useful -- whether it's
through an increased pull-up count or demo-ing proper rowing technique for some of our lovely clients. I feel
more fit and well rounded as an athlete now than I did while I was rowing.
Finally, and I am very grateful for this, Steven and Maya have introduced me to the world of kettlebell lifting. With
their guidance, I've learned how to pursue an individual goal with all the set-backs and successes that entails.
It has been eye opening and invaluable to learn how to push myself towards a goal without a peer group
working constantly around me.
I look in the mirror now and see a body and a mind that can work as one. I'm proud to say that I have trained my
body into a tool that does the things that I ask of it. But, I know that without the Ice Chamber and its entire
community of wonderful, supportive people I would not have nearly as much confidence in my abilities or
exciting opportunities to channel my competitive spirit into new sports. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

luckiest person alive), that the Ice Chamber was the place for me. The right place for me, Olympic
caliber athletes, strong young athletes, public safety officers, Kettlebell champions, pregnant moms,
high school kids in training….the right place for anyone who is motivated to discover their own potential,
celebrate their own gifts and work tremendously hard to achieve their own goals. I turned 60 last week,
more fit than I was at 40, looking forward to new challenges, having a great deal of fun, and competing
in my first Kettlebell competition!! I celebrate Steven, Maya, Jess and staff for creating such an amazing,

"I knew, as I left my first session with Jess over a year ago (shaking, sweating and feeling like the
luckiest person alive), that the Ice Chamber was the place for me. The right place for me, Olympic
caliber athletes, strong young athletes, public safety officers, Kettlebell champions, pregnant moms,
high school kids in training….the right place for anyone who is motivated to discover their own potential,
celebrate their own gifts and work tremendously hard to achieve their own goals. I turned 60 last week,
more fit than I was at 40, looking forward to new challenges, having a great deal of fun, and competing
in my first Kettlebell competition!! I celebrate Steven, Maya, Jess and staff for creating such an amazing,
supportive, professional, focused, intelligent, inclusive progam---and now there’s room for more!"
