Gyms with Infrared Sauna

Infrared saunas are a rare amenity, but growing in popularity. While we only see a handful of these nationwide, they're steadily being added at new gyms. (Older, existing gyms with saunas, however, usually have an older traditional style heating element).

We see gym chains like Crunch, Chuze and Gold's Gym incorporating this tech and expect it to grow in the coming years.

You can experience better blood circulation, faster recovery, and relief in joints and muscles. Detoxification usually happens as well (prepare to sweat!) as they're pulled from your skin and body during a session. 

Regular use has been shown to boost metabolism and improve skin health.

Traditional saunas use a heating element (usually stone) that warms the air around you. Infrared versions use infrared light directed towards your body.

• The temperature is usually much hotter in a traditional version (150-190°F), vs (120-150°F) on an infrared—but more intense sweating still occurs at the lower temp.
• This is because while traditional saunas primarily heat the surface of the skin, penetration is deeper with infrared versions (up to an inch and a half)

Our data is up-to-date, but is likely missing a few locations.

Here's why: "Infrared" sauna isn't explicitly mentioned by many gym chains—they often choose to list this amenity as just "sauna."

We've got through thousands of web pages, social media accounts and more to ensure we've got as many infrared locations tracked as possible.
