Some Background: How Do Infrared Saunas Actually Work?

Infrared saunas use infrared panels that emit light, penetrating your skin on a deeper level. This allows for a more efficient heating process, directly targeting your muscles and tissues. It’s like soaking up the sun’s warmth without the harmful UV rays.

4 Benefits of Using Our Infrared Sauna 

What can sitting in Gold’s Gym infrared sauna actually do for you? Let’s break down the science-backed benefits that make them more than a hot trend.

1. Improved Heart Health

The moment you step into our San Marino infrared sauna, your body kicks into action. Sweat forms, blood vessels expand, and your heart rate increases. It’s like a workout without the weights! This is because the physiological response is similar to moderate exercise, which can boost your heart health and even lower blood pressure.

2. Soothing Sore Muscles

Feeling the burn from yesterday’s workout? An infrared sauna session at our gym can help. The heat improves blood circulation, making your muscles recover faster. Athletes, take note: regular sauna visits could even enhance your performance on the field.

3. Pain Relief

Chronic pain can be debilitating, but infrared saunas offer a glimmer of hope. A study found that this therapy could be a promising treatment for osteoarthritis. Participants reported significant improvements in their symptoms.

4. Relaxation and Mental Well-being

Need a mental break? Step into an infrared sauna. The warmth relaxes your body and helps alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression. It’s like a meditation session, but with the thermostat turned up. 

Infrared Saunas vs. Traditional Saunas: Which Is Better?

The debate between infrared and traditional saunas is heating up, and you might be wondering which one takes the crown for wellness. They both have merits, but infrared saunas offer some unique advantages that set them apart.

Targeted Heat

Infrared saunas use infrared panels to warm your body directly without heating the air around you. This results in a more intense sweat at a lower temperature—usually between 49°C and 60°C. This is especially appealing for those who find the temperatures of traditional saunas—up to 82°C—a bit too intense.

Versatile Benefits

Both saunas offer similar health benefits like better sleep, relaxation, and relief from sore muscles. However, infrared saunas can help with more health issues, including chronic pain and cardiovascular health. Although more research is needed to be conclusive, the initial findings are promising.

Safety and Precautions

It’s worth noting that both types of saunas come with precautions, such as the risk of dehydration and overheating. Always consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.

How Long to See Benefits of Infrared Sauna?

You’ve heard about the myriad benefits of infrared saunas, from improved heart health to stress relief. But one question remains: how long does it take to see these benefits? Here are some timeframes:

• Immediate Effects: You’ll likely feel more relaxed and notice improved circulation during your first session. If you’re using the sauna post-workout, you may also experience quicker muscle recovery immediately.
• Short-Term Benefits: Within a week of regular sessions, you may notice improved sleep quality and reduced minor aches and pains. Some people also report feeling more energized and less stressed within this timeframe.
• Long-Term Benefits: For more significant health improvements like better cardiovascular health, reduced chronic pain, or weight loss, you may need to commit to regular sessions for a few months.

FAQ

What’s the Difference Between a 1-Person, 2-Person, and 3-Person Infrared Sauna?

The main difference is the size and capacity. A 1 person infrared sauna is designed for individual use, while 2 and 3-person saunas allow for a shared experience. The choice depends on your personal needs and available space.

Can Infrared Saunas Help with Weight Loss?

Yes, infrared saunas can aid in weight loss by boosting your metabolism and helping you burn calories. However, they should not replace a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Infrared Sauna vs. Hot Yoga: Which is More Effective?

Both offer unique benefits. Infrared saunas are more passive and focus on heat therapy, while hot yoga combines heat with physical exercise. Your choice depends on whether you want relaxation or a more active experience.

How Does Red Light Therapy Differ from Infrared Saunas?

While both use infrared light, red light therapy focuses on lower-energy light to improve skin conditions and stimulate collagen production. Infrared saunas use higher-energy light for a broader range of health benefits.

Is it OK to Use an Infrared Sauna Every Day?

Yes, infrared saunas are gentle enough for daily use. However, if you’re targeting specific issues like pain relief or detoxification, you may need to space out your sessions. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Is it Important to Shower After an Infrared Sauna Session?

Absolutely. Showering within 15-20 minutes is recommended after your session ends. This helps to remove any toxins that have been released through sweating and also cools down your body.

What Should I Wear in an Infrared Sauna?

The less you wear, the better. Infrared saunas work by directly heating your body, so less clothing allows for more effective heat penetration. If it’s permitted and you’re comfortable, you can even go nude using a towel to sit on.
