Infrared Sauna

  • …I’m pregnant, under 18, have a fever, pacemaker, or have implants? We recommend you consult your doctor in case of any medical concerns. View all contraindications here.

  • Our Guest experience, safety, and wellness is our top priority. Learn more about our updated safety and sanitation protocols here.

  • Going to the sauna is popular for relaxing and socialising, however, using a sauna has many benefits. Based on your individual health and wellness goals, we recommend going to the sauna at least 2-3 times a week. For even better results, going to the sauna 4-5 times a week is recommended. Infrared Sauna increases weight loss, we suggest you try our infrared sauna immediately following your workout/fitness program to see the best results.

  • Our saunas are full-spectrum Infrared Saunas so they use a combination of all three! Learn more about how infrared sauna works.

  • Yes! Our saunas use the most effective and safe infrared heaters on the market. The EMF and ELF levels in our infrared saunas will be mostly below 1mg when tested directly on the heater itself. Where you are sitting in the sauna, the EMF and ELF levels of infrared saunas are 0 mG and under 200 mV (ELF) of exposure. The ELF levels in our saunas are 3 – 5 times below the threshold of concern. Learn more about the safety of our Infrared saunas.

  • Yes, infrared sauna causes weight loss, which will be regained upon rehydration. But the calories burned are real. As you relax in the gentle heat of our saunas, your body is actually hard at work pumping blood (increased heart rate), increasing circulation and producing sweat to cool you down. This results in a caloric burn! Learn more about how infrared sauna works.

  • Yes. By increasing your heart rate and core body temperature by 3 degrees in your session, it could take up to an hour to return to normal. We encourage you to stay active before or after your session if you want to maximize the calorie burn for weight loss. See other benefits of Infrared Sauna.

  • Color Light Therapy is a method of treatment that uses the visible spectrum (colors) of electromagnetic light to restore balance to one’s physiology. It is a centuries-old concept used successfully over the years to treat various diseases and ailments. Learn more about how infrared sauna works.

    All of our studios and saunas feature medical-grade Color Light Therapy and some of our studios also feature an additional high-intensity RED Light (Find one of our studios near you).

Dynamic Compression

  • The compression recovery systems are FDA cleared devices that are safe for home use. Do not use the dynamic compression devices if you have any of the following conditions:

    Acute pulmonary edema

    Acute thrombophlebitis

    Acute congestive cardiac failure

    Acute infections

    Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

    Episodes of pulmonary embolism

    Wounds, lesions, infection, or tumors at or near the site of application

    Where increased venous and lymphatic return is undesirable

    Bone fractures or dislocations at or near the site of application

  • We have found that many women who are pregnant use Normatec to help relieve swelling and soreness! In any case, it is always best to consult with your doctor to see if this device is right, and safe, for you to use.

  • Only one set of attachments can be used per treatment. For example, you cannot use the Leg Attachments and the Arm Attachments at the same time.

Cold Water Plunge

  • Ice baths are thought to offer a range of benefits, including reducing inflammation and muscle soreness, improving circulation, and boosting the immune system.

    Acute pulmonary edema

    Acute thrombophlebitis

    Acute congestive cardiac failure

    Acute infections

    Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

    Episodes of pulmonary embolism

    Wounds, lesions, infection, or tumors at or near the site of application

    Where increased venous and lymphatic return is undesirable

    Bone fractures or dislocations at or near the site of application

  • Ice baths may carry a risk of hypothermia or frostbite, particularly if the water is too cold or if the duration of immersion is too long. It’s important to use caution and follow proper safety guidelines when using ice baths.

  • The optimal frequency of ice bath use will depend on the individual and their specific needs and goals. It’s generally recommended to limit ice bath use to 1-2 times per week, and to allow adequate time for recovery between sessions. However, depending on your personal tolerance and goals, taking an ice bath more often can be beneficial.

  • Ice baths may not be suitable for everyone, and certain groups of people may be at a higher risk of adverse effects. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional or sports medicine specialist before starting an ice bath regimen, especially if you have certain medical conditions or injuries.

  • There are several alternatives to ice baths, including cold water immersion, contrast therapy, compression therapy, massage, stretching, and proper nutrition. It’s important to consider the specific benefits and risks of each method and to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new therapy.

  • Some research suggests that cold exposure may stimulate the immune system and help to boost immune function. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of cold exposure on the immune system.

  • Some research suggests that cold exposure may improve athletic performance by increasing endurance, reducing fatigue, and improving muscle function. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of cold exposure on athletic performance.

  • There is some evidence to suggest that cold exposure may help to increase metabolism and burn calories, which may be beneficial for weight loss. However, it’s important to note that cold exposure should not be the sole method for weight loss, and should be part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes proper nutrition and exercise.

Red Light Therapy

  • The Research on red light therapy says Yes!

    Clinical tests have been conducted by: NASA, The Mayo Clinic, Wisconsin and Stanford Universities and many medical equipment providers such as Meditech and Quantum Devices, all of whom have documented the healing effects of using red light in the mid 600 to 800nm range.

    The US Government uses Red light devices for wound healing in NASA, Military Combat, Navy Special Op’s and Submarine service personnel. A little more proof that it actually works.

    It is worthy of noting, the length of time to achieve the desired result will vary depending on the person and desired effect.

  • Depending on the treatment type, whether it is an in home kit or treatment plan with a professional, patients can experience a reduction in symptoms as early as after the first treatment session.

  • The frequency of sessions depends on the condition it is being used to treat, the severity of the condition and if it is being used in conjunction with other complementary medicines. It also depends greatly on whether you are using an at-home red light therapy kit or receiving a treatment plan from a professional. Some treatment plans require use daily, others a few times per week.

  • The long and short of this question is No…

    Red Light therapy is considered safe and UV free. Unlike using other laser therapies or tanning beds, Red light therapy does not use ultraviolet (UV) light, which is the cell mutating and cancer causing light. The wavelengths produced in this style of therapy, is outside of the skin damaging UV range.

  • It really depends on your sensitivity. People have reported feelings of immediate relief, to a sensation of tingling, minor itching and light aching to nothing at all. It is beneficial to note that each sensation recorded has been minor.

  • No, they are very different therapies.

    Red Light Therapy is Low Level Light Therapy, which involves using red light, which is lower in energy than laser therapy.

    Laser Therapy stands for: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers are light mechanisms that use ‘amplified’ light waves that have been concentrated into a single coherent ‘laser beam’ of the same frequency. Lasers use directional heat and photonic intensity that works when electrons become more energized, after absorbing energy from an electrical current.

  • Yes. It is, not the Red light therapy that needs the approval, it is the device. Yes, Red Light therapy is FDA approved, however not all red light therapy devices have FDA approval. The Red light therapy devices that have been FDA approved, is for a growing list of conditions, including; Acne treatment,

    Anti-aging, hair loss and regrowth, pain relief and weight-loss.

  • No. There are no UV rays in Red Light Therapy. Skin Cancer is caused by light exposure to UV wavelengths. In contradiction to Red light causing skin cancer, it has multiple healing benefits for skin deformities such as cancers and melanoma. Red light treatment serves two purposes: as a skin cancer prevention method and as a skin rejuvenation treatment after the removal of the skin cancer.

  • No. Only Red light that you can see reaching the skin can be absorbed by the skin. If there is fabric in between, the colored light will be absorbed by the fabric.
