INFRARED SAUNA

Uses targeted infrared light to gently heat the body, support recovery, and promote deep relaxation.

BENEFITS OF INFRARED SAUNA

Heats your body directly, not just the air.

Infrared light penetrates the skin and gently warms you from within, creating a deeper, more efficient sweat at lower temperatures than traditional saunas.

Lower heat, deeper effect.

Most sessions run between 110–140°F, making it more comfortable while still delivering powerful benefits.

 

Near, Mid, and Far Infrared each serve a purpose.

Near Infrared (NIR): Supports skin health and cellular repair.

 

Mid Infrared (MIR): Helps increase circulation and oxygen flow.

 

Far Infrared (FIR): Promotes deep sweating and detoxification.

Eases muscle tension and joint stiffness.

Penetrating heat helps relax tight muscles and soothe soreness.

Infrared therapy can help lower cortisol levels and activate the parasympathetic (“rest and restore”) response.

RED LIGHT/INFRARED THERAPY  BED

A full-body light therapy experience designed to stimulate cellular repair, boost circulation, and support natural recovery.

BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT THERAPY

Stimulates Cellular Energy

Red and near-infrared light help support mitochondrial function, encouraging natural cellular energy production (ATP) to promote overall vitality and recovery.

Supports Skin Health & Collagen

Targeted wavelengths may help improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity by supporting collagen production and circulation.

Aids Muscle Recovery & Repair

Penetrating light energy supports blood flow and oxygen delivery, helping reduce soreness and support tissue repair after workouts or daily strain.

Full-Body, Low-Heat Therapy

Unlike traditional heat therapies, red light works without intense heat, making it comfortable while still delivering deep therapeutic benefits.

Red light therapy boosts cellular energy, skin renewal, and jumpstarts recovery. Visit our trusted vendors website to learn more.

WHY IT WORKS... 

These elements are designed to work together. Heat, light, and cold are intentionally sequenced through layout, lighting, and flow, so your body moves naturally from activation to recovery to rest.

COLD PLUNGE

Targeted cold immersion designed to support recovery, sharpen focus, and strengthen the body’s stress response.

BENEFITS OF COLD PLUNGE

Boosts Circulation

Cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict and then dilate after exiting, helping improve circulation and support cardiovascular function.

Reduces Inflammation & Soreness

Cold therapy may help decrease inflammation, reduce muscle soreness, and speed recovery after workouts or physical strain.

Supports Mental Resilience

Brief cold exposure activates the nervous system, helping improve focus, alertness, and stress tolerance over time.

Accelerates Recovery

By reducing swelling and promoting fresh blood flow post-session, cold immersion supports faster muscle repair and overall recovery.

A cold plunge reduces inflammation leaving you refreshed, alert, and energized. Visit our trusted vendors website to learn more.

STEAM SHOWER

A full-body light therapy experience designed to stimulate cellular repair, boost circulation, and support natural recovery.

BENEFITS OF STEAM SHOWER

Supports Respiratory Health

Warm steam helps open airways, loosen congestion, and support easier breathing  especially helpful during seasonal changes or dryness.

Promotes Detoxification

Steam encourages sweating, which helps the body release impurities while supporting healthy skin and circulation.

Relieves Muscle Tension

Moist heat helps relax tight muscles, reduce stiffness, and ease joint discomfort after long days or workouts.

Encourages Deep Relaxation

Steam activates the parasympathetic (“rest and restore”) response, helping lower stress and promote mental calm.
