Infrared Sauna
Infrared sauna uses gentle, penetrating heat to warm the body from the inside out—supporting circulation, recovery, and nervous system downshifting without the extreme temperatures of a traditional sauna. Whether you’re training hard, feeling run-down, managing chronic tension, or just craving a true reset, this is one of the simplest ways to help your body recover and recharge.
Deep heat. Deep reset. Real recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is infrared sauna different from a traditional sauna?
Traditional saunas heat the air around you; infrared uses light energy to warm your body more directly. Many people find infrared more comfortable because the air temperature is typically lower.
How hot does it get?
Infrared saunas generally run lower than traditional saunas, but it can still feel intense depending on your sensitivity and session length. We’ll start where you’re comfortable and adjust from there.
How long should my first session be?
Most first-timers do best with 20–30 minutes at a moderate heat level. You can always build up over time.
Do I need to shower before or after?
Not required, but some people prefer to rinse afterward. If you’ve used lotions/oils, it’s helpful to come with clean skin.
What should I wear?
Whatever feels comfortable. Most people wear minimal, breathable clothing or use towels. You’ll have privacy.
How often should I do sauna sessions?
For general wellness and stress support: 1–3x/week is common. For recovery routines: some people do 2–4x/week depending on training load and tolerance.
Will I lose weight from sauna?
You’ll lose water weight from sweating, but true fat loss comes from long-term nutrition and training. Sauna can support routines that make consistency easier (sleep, stress, recovery), which matters.
Can I use infrared sauna if I’m sore or injured?
Often yes—heat can help with stiffness and soreness. If you have an acute injury, swelling, or inflammation that feels “hot,” ask your provider first. When in doubt, we’ll help you choose the safest approach.
Who should avoid sauna?
Infrared sauna may not be appropriate if you’re pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, unstable heart conditions, or certain heat sensitivities. If you’re unsure, check with your medical provider.
What if I feel lightheaded?
Stop the session, sit, hydrate, and cool down. We can shorten time and adjust heat for next time—your body adapts over a few sessions.
