Sweat Sessions

Infrared heat, is light we can’t see, but can feel as heat. All warm blooded animals, including humans, generate this type of heat naturally to warm themselves, and more than half of the sun’s heat is infrared as well. Infrared heat warms us without warming the air around us and penetrates our bodies, rather than only heating the skin. During your sweat session, infrared heat is generated in the 5-15 micron wavelength, the same wavelength as the sun and our bodies produce, so it is safe and natural. Infrared as used in our Sweat Sessions is known to help with a wide range of therapeutic benefits.

Weight Loss

One of the most popular benefits of infrared heat therapy is weight loss. Extensive clinical research has documented a wide range of benefits supporting weight loss using immersive far infrared therapy as delivered by the our Sweat Sessions.

Sweating consumes calories and a Sweat Session can induce 3-5 times more sweat than exercise alone.

Infrared can rebalance metabolism directly speeding up the rate calories are burned even after a session.

As organic acids are purged your fasting insulin levels may drop toward normal, this can assist with stopping your body from being pushed to store carbs as fat.

Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is simply fat beneath the skin that tends to have a bumpy appearance because it pushes against connective tissue, causing the skin above it to pucker. Infrared as delivered in the FIT Bodywrap helps fight cellulite in the following ways:

 • Fat becomes water-soluble at a body temperature of approximately 100.5 degrees F and can “melt” by breaking up into smaller particles, which can then be purged from the body through infrared induced sweating. 

 • Through studies on infrared, it was discovered infrared can help the appearance of cellulite do its ability to help rebuild collagen connective tissue. Stronger collagen can help rearrange the fat deposits away from each other and the skin’s surface, and help prevent further accumulation of cellulite.

Pain Relief

Many people have used a heating pad to soothe body pain and heat has been well documented in the management of pain relief. Our penetrating infrared heat can result in immediate therapeutic benefit through increased blood flow and tissue oxygenation.

 • Clinical research has established that an infrared treatment such as a Sweat session can increase blood flow from 5-7 quarts/minute to as much as 13 quarts/minute. Therefore during a session there can be a substantial amount of nutrient and oxygen rich blood flowing which can help heal the body and relieve pain.

 • Infrared is also known to act directly on irritated nerve endings. A 2008 study found that chronic pain patients experienced nearly a 70% reduction in pain levels after the first infrared therapy session.
