It's cryotherapy. Practically a reverse sauna where you're exposed to extreme temperatures for a limited amount of time in a controlled environment.

The name of the place is Acıbadem Sports.

It is in the district of Beşiktaş. The links are in Turkish.

Today I just called the place to learn how much it is and when they are open. It will be a nice experience for me

Unless this is a joke site, the link OP provided confirmed what he's saying! My browser translated it to English for me, and this is what it says:

The benefits of the 'Cool Room' can be listed as follows:

The 'Cold Room', which has two cabins with 65 below zero and 110 below zero, shortens the period of body renewal after intense training.
It provides relief of pain.
Prevents chronic sleep problems.
There are many benefits of anti aging.
Physiotherapy is used in the healing process of patients.
It allows the body to develop energy metabolism and pain control, enhancing performance and regeneration speed.


Oh, and it also says you spend NO MORE than 3 minutes in this room - and that it's used mostly by professional athletes, as a form of cryotherapy.
