Sauna FAQ

 

How hot is the sauna?

Our infrared sauna is typically kept between 155–160°F and can reach approximately 170°F for experienced users who prefer a hotter session.

How long is a session?

Most sessions last 20–40 minutes, depending on your experience, heat tolerance, and comfort level.

Do I have to use the red light therapy?

No. Red light therapy is optional, but we recommend combining it with your sauna session so you can take advantage of both whole-body heat and targeted light therapy at the same time.

Can I target a specific area with the red light?

Yes. The red and near-infrared light panel is mounted inside the sauna door, making it easy to position the light toward areas like your back, shoulders, knees, hips, or legs.

What should I do before my sauna session?

Arrive well hydrated and avoid coming in immediately after a large meal or heavy alcohol intake. If you are new to sauna use, start with a shorter session and gradually build up your heat exposure.

How often should I use the sauna?

For most people, 2–3 sessions per week is optimal for their health and wellness goals. The frequency of your weekly session count is dependent on your goals, hydration, training schedule, and heat tolerance.

Should I use the sauna before or after a workout?

Most people prefer the sauna after training or on recovery days. It can be a great way to unwind after a workout while supporting relaxation and recovery. If you use it before training, keep the session shorter so you don’t go into your workout overheated or dehydrated.

What should I wear?

Minimal clothing is recommended for maximum infrared and red light absorption. Wear whatever you are comfortable sweating in. Athletic clothing, shorts, or similar lightweight clothing works well. A towel is mandatory in our sauna. We prioritize hygiene and request a towel between any skin and wood inside the sauna. Bring clean clothes to change into afterward if needed.

Are showers available?

Yes. We have a locker room with showers, making it easy to rinse off, cool down, and get ready before heading back to work or continuing with your day.

Who should avoid sauna use or check with their doctor first?

Sauna is safe for many people, but anyone who is pregnant, has cardiovascular or blood-pressure concerns, has difficulty regulating body temperature, or takes medications that affect hydration or heat tolerance should check with their healthcare provider first.
