Infrared sauna: the heat you can sink into

Think of the warmth of a sunny afternoon on your back, the kind that makes your shoulders drop without you noticing. That’s infrared. A gentler heat than a traditional sauna, easy to settle into, and one of the simplest ways to switch off for half an hour.

What is an infrared sauna?

An infrared sauna warms your body with infrared light rather than heating the air around you to very high temperatures. The room usually sits around 55-75°C, so it feels softer than a traditional sauna and many people find they can stay in longer.

Infrared vs traditional sauna: what’s the difference?

A traditional sauna heats the air, often 70-90°C, for an intense, full-body sweat. Infrared feels gentler and steadier. Neither is better. The right one is the one you’ll come back to. Plenty of members use both across the week.

How does an infrared session feel?

Warm, quiet and unhurried. Most people sweat steadily, breathe slower and leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. It’s 20-30 minutes where nobody needs anything from you.

Who is it for?

People who want heat without the intensity. People new to sauna. People who train hard, and people who just had a hard week. If heat doesn’t always suit you, infrared is often the easier way in.

Many members use it two or three times a week as part of their routine. Consistency matters more than any single long session. Go at the pace that feels good for you.
