How it works

Heat that goes into you, not around you

A traditional sauna heats the air, which then heats you. Infrared passes through the air and warms your body directly — the same core temperature and sweat, at an air temperature you can sit in for half an hour.

Our cabin runs full spectrum — near, mid and far infrared — so one session covers surface, soft tissue and core.
Why people use it

What it actually does

Recovery after training

Heat opens peripheral blood vessels, raising blood flow to muscle and speeding the clearance of metabolic waste.

Cardiovascular load

Your heart rate rises to hold core temperature steady — a response that looks a lot like moderate exercise, without the joint load.

Sleep

The drop in core temperature after you get out is a strong sleep signal. An evening session finished ninety minutes before bed is the most common reason members book.

Stress and stillness

The heat gives you a reason to sit still. Thirty minutes in a private cabin without a phone does the rest.

Questions

Before you book

Anything not covered here, call us — +1 213 686 5600.

First time — 30 or 60 minutes?
Book 30. It is enough for a full sweat and a shower, and most people are ready to get out before the timer. Move to 60 once you know you like it.
What do I wear?
Swimwear or shorts. Towels are provided and the suite has a shower, so you can arrive and leave in normal clothes.
Can I bring someone?
Yes — a guest is included at no extra cost. The cabin seats up to three comfortably.
How often should I come?
Two or three times a week is where people notice a difference. Every benefit of heat exposure is an adaptation, so regular short sessions beat occasional long ones.
Before or after training?
After, or on a rest day. Heat before a hard session raises your core temperature and generally makes training feel worse.
Who should skip it?
If you are pregnant, on blood-pressure medication, or managing a heart condition, talk to your doctor first and tell us at check-in.
Do I need to shower first?
No, but come hydrated. Drinking before you go in matters more than drinking after.
