Reset Recovery’s saunas are designed to help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support consistent training. Whether you are coming off a heavy session or dealing with general tightness, heat exposure assists your body to recover.
This is not just about relaxing — it is about balancing out fitness and post-workout wellness to assist in longevity.
Infrared & Traditional Saunas – The Best of Both Worlds
Our recovery space includes both infrared saunas and traditional saunas, giving you access to two distinct forms of heat exposure.
Infrared Saunas
Infrared saunas use radiant heat to warm the body directly, rather than heating the surrounding air. This creates a more gradual and controlled experience, typically at lower temperatures.
They are ideal for:
• longer, more comfortable sessions
• easing muscle tightness without excessive heat stress
• those newer to sauna use or sensitive to high temperatures
Because the heat is absorbed more directly, many people find infrared sauna sessions easier to maintain consistently as part of their recovery routine.
Traditional Saunas
Traditional saunas heat the surrounding air to a much higher temperature, creating a more intense and immediate heat exposure.
They are suited for:
• shorter, higher-intensity sessions
• deeper sweat response
• post-training use when your body is already warm
This environment creates a stronger cardiovascular response and a more noticeable “heat hit,” which many people prefer after heavy workouts.
Despite the differences between Infrared & Traditional Saunas, both sauna options support:
• improved circulation
• reduced muscle tension
• post-workout recovery
The difference comes down to how you want to experience the heat — gradual and sustained, or intense and immediate.

Saunas FAQ’s
How long should I stay in the sauna?
Most sessions range between 10–20 minutes, depending on your comfort level and experience. It’s best to start shorter and gradually build up over time.
Should I use the sauna before or after training?
Saunas are most commonly used after training to help relax muscles, reduce tension, and support recovery.
Using the sauna post-workout allows your body to wind down while promoting circulation, which can help you feel less tight and more recovered heading into your next session.
Sauna use before training is less common but can be used in shorter durations to help loosen up the body. However, it’s important not to overdo it, as excessive heat exposure before training may lead to fatigue or reduced performance.
Are saunas safe for everyone?
Saunas are suitable for most people, but they may not be appropriate in certain situations. If you are pregnant, have a cardiovascular condition, or any existing medical concerns, it’s recommended to speak with your healthcare professional before use.
How often can I use the sauna?
Sauna use can be incorporated regularly into your routine, depending on your training schedule and how your body feels.
Many people use the sauna several times per week, particularly after training sessions, to help relax muscles and manage built-up tension. Others may use it more occasionally as a way to unwind and reset.
There’s no strict rule — the key is to use it in a way that supports your recovery without leaving you feeling overly fatigued. Starting with shorter, less frequent sessions and building up over time is a practical approach for most people.
