Infrared Saunas aren’t like your traditional sauna. They have infrared lamps inside that heat up and warm your body directly, the gentle heat from infrared saunas raises the core body temperature delivering a much deeper sweat instead of a traditional sauna that heats the air inside. Using Infrared Saunas will relieve sore muscles, improve your mood, helps with fatigue and it has a more intensive detoxification process and increased health benefits compared to normal saunas.

Adding regular saunas to your training schedule can help your performance. The heat increases the circulation and blood flow, the blood vessels relax and dilate in a sauna which helps with muscle repair, tension in the joints and relieves sore muscles
Detoxification
“Sweating is the body’s natural process to remove toxins and nasty chemicals from the body. Infrared rays gently heat the body, increasing the core temperate creating a deeper reaction from within your body’s cells to assist the detoxification process.”
Weight loss
“A number of studies have shown that you can burn up to 700 calories per session. As your body attempts to cool itself down, it also increases your heart and metabolic rate making you burn more calories.”
Anti-ageing
“‘Far’ Infrared heat has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in your skin. Sweating improves blood circulation as well as skin elasticity, tone, texture and firmness – it also helps unblock pores and reduce blemishes. A weekly infrared sauna session will leave you glowing and the more you sweat the better you’ll feel.”
Skin health
“You need to be kind to your skin, after all, you will be living in it for your entire life. Regular sweating allows your body to detoxify nasty chemicals, pollutants and dirt lodged within the dermal layer. Studies have shown that the average person is exposed to 700,000 toxins a day, scary right?
“Infrared heat increases the blood flow and brings essential nutrients to the surface of the skin – allowing your body to naturally glow.”
Immune boosting
“When you use a sauna it increases the core temperature of your body. Bacteria and viruses can’t survive under certain temperatures and this increased heating helps your body fight these off, giving your immune system that added boost.”
Stress reduction and sleeping
“One of the biggest benefits to an infrared sauna is relaxation and the chance to de-stress. People today live busy lives and we are now under more daily stress than ever before. An infrared sauna session can help you unwind but it also decreases the production of cortisol, the main hormone for stress in the body. If you’ve had a rough day there’s no better place to be than an infrared sauna, plus it might help you sleep a little better.”
