5 Ways IV Therapy Speeds Up Workout Recovery

5 Ways IV Therapy Can Improve Your Workout Recovery

You’re the athlete. We’re your recovery team.

When you train, you stress muscles on purpose. Recovery is where you actually get stronger. If you’re tired of dragging through the next day’s workout—or you don’t have time to feel wiped—targeted IV therapy can help you rehydrate fast, replenish key nutrients, and support your body’s repair process so you can stay consistent.

Below are five smart ways IV therapy supports post-workout recovery, plus exactly what to expect when you book with Anywhere Infusions.

1) Rapid Rehydration (without the bloat)

Hard training → fluid loss. Oral hydration works, but it’s limited by gut absorption and timing. IV fluids deliver hydration directly to your bloodstream so cells get what they need quickly—especially after longer sessions, heat, or high-volume workouts.

Great for: long runs/rides, CrossFit MetCons, two-a-days, and training in hot weather.

2) Replenish Electrolytes & Micronutrients

Recovery isn’t just water—it’s balance. Our recovery formulas commonly include electrolytes (like magnesium) plus vitamins that support energy metabolism and muscle function (B-complex, B12, and vitamin C). Results vary by person, but many clients report feeling clearer, less crampy, and more energized after repletion.

Pro tip: pair your IV with a protein-rich meal to fuel muscle repair.

3) Reduce Soreness & Support Calm Muscles

Magnesium plays a role in muscle relaxation and normal nerve function. Many athletes notice reduced tightness and fewer nighttime cramps after sessions that include magnesium and antioxidants like glutathione (when appropriate). While DOMS can’t be fully “skipped,” targeted nutrients may help you feel more functional sooner.

4) Antioxidant Support for Cellular Repair

Training creates oxidative stress—it’s part of the adaptation process. Antioxidant support (vitamin C and, when suitable, glutathione) can help your body manage that stress while you recover. Your formula is personalized based on your goals, history, and what you’ve got coming up on your training calendar.

5) Time Savings (Mobile or In-Studio)

Recovery has to fit your life. Book a mobile IV where you are (home, office, or post-event) or visit our wellness space—most sessions take ~45minutes to 1 hour. Less downtime means more consistency—and consistency is how you win the long game.

Safety First

IV therapy isn’t a substitute for medical care, nutrition, or sleep. It may not be appropriate for certain conditions (e.g., significant kidney disease, heart failure, active infection, pregnancy considerations). If you’re severely dehydrated or feel unwell after training (e.g., heat illness), seek medical care immediately. We’ll review your health history before any session.

FAQs

Is IV therapy safe after a hard workout?
For most healthy adults, yes—after a brief screening. We tailor ingredients and volume to you.

Typically fluids, electrolytes, B-complex/B12, vitamin C, and (when appropriate) magnesium or glutathione. Formulas vary by individual.

Will IV therapy eliminate DOMS?
Nothing erases normal training soreness, but smart hydration and nutrient support can help you feel more functional, sooner.

Yes—many athletes schedule sessions around peak weeks or travel. We’ll map a recovery plan that fits your calendar.
