eat, sleep, sauna, repeat
Living in the high desert climate of the Sierra mountains can take its’ toll on you eventually physically and/or mentally – especially after long winters like we experienced last season. That’s why we wanted to add hyperthermal conditioning – aka infrared sauna into our mix of gym offerings, located in the rear of the HPL / human performance lab.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN INFRARED SAUNA BATHING
For starters, a sauna mimics exercise-induced physiological responses like increased core temperature and heart rate, sweating and blood redistribution – so it’s a great workout for your heart and blood vessels as they expand and contract.
It helps the lymphatic system to drain toxins from the body like mercury, cadmium and lead.
Strengthens skin by enhancing collagen production and rejuvenates complexion.
Gives kidneys a well deserved rest.
Muscle recovery and growth.
Endorphins release and mood elevation.
Reduced inflammation.
Wellness within reach
Our infrared sauna pre-set programs give you the optimal dosages of far, mid, and near infrared light energy, and now also red light therapy, in the quiet, comfortable peace of this wellness sanctuary.Â

enjoy and relax
If you're new to an infrared sauna routine there's a few things you should know to make your sauna bathing sessions as enjoyable as possible. This is a place where time is well invested.
Drink plenty of water
Recommend hydrating with water before and after. The first few times you may not be able to stay in that long. Take your time building your duration.
Avoid Eating right before
Digestive system is basically on pause while you're heating the body
Wear little clothing
Take a cold shower after, possibly one before too.
body position
Ideally lay horizontal on the bench, most people usually sit. Recommend focusing on your breathing, or meditate while you're in the sauna.

Benefits of sauna practice
Dose Dependent Effects
The more you use the sauna, the more benefits you will experience.
Heart Health
Strengthen your heart. Infrared sauna therapy acts like a passive cardio workout, which helps your heart by improving circulation and even helping to reduce blood pressure.
Anti-Aging
Renew your skin. Harness a scientifically proven "fountain of youth" and revitalize your skin's appearance. Red light/near infrared LED technology increases collagen and elastin. Far infrared waves increase circulation, helping regenerate cells.
Muscle Recovery
Recover faster. Infrared helps deliver more oxygen to muscle cells for faster repair and pain relief.
