How much space does a Solace Sauna take up?

All that’s needed is a small space of approximately 2.5m x 3m. Solace Sauna can be tailored to suit spaces within a gym, studio or pre-existing room.

How much power does a Solace Sauna need to run?

A sauna will need approximately XX for each session, with electricity costs averaging 60c - 80c per hour.

How much will Solace Sessions make for my business?

Businesses will make $1 per minute for every minute the sauna is in use, with a standard session time ranging from 30 to 45 minutes.

How does the Solace Sauna get cleaned after use?

Being a dry sauna, sweat evaporates quickly from the warmed cedar timber and means there’s minimal cleaning required. To keep things hygienic, users are asked to lay a fresh towel down on the seat, stay wrapped in a towel for the duration and wipe down the sauna after use. As part of good hygiene habits, it should be given a daily clean along with all other gym equipment.

How does an infrared sauna work?

Solace Sauna heats the body directly through infrared lamps, giving a more intense experience without the extreme heat felt in a traditional sauna. Infrared light waves are defined as electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye. This radiating energy can be felt as heat in an infrared sauna. Is it the same infrared light that is naturally produced by the sun and is also used in a range of everyday products, including baby incubators, heat lamps, home heaters and toasters.

What benefits do infrared lightwaves have?

Solace Sauna uses a mix of ceramic and carbon infrared panels to deliver a more direct and intense heat. While naked to the human eye, infrared light is all around and can be felt as heat (like the warmth from the sun). Near, Mid and Far-infrared lightwaves dish out countless health benefits, which are intensified in a Solace Sauna session.

Near-infrared waves

The shorter frequency range targets the outer layer of the skin to kick-starts rejuvenation, healing and health.

Boost cell health and immunity
Accelerate wound healing
Initiate skin purification
Relieve pain

Mid-infrared waves

Passing deeper into the body, mid-length waves are great for circulation and stimulate the same effects as a passive cardiovascular workout.

Provide pain relief
Improve circulation
Awaken weight loss

Far-infrared waves

Igniting a deep, detoxifying sweat, far-length waves reach a cellular level, targeting toxins, stimulating weight loss and allowing muscles to recover faster after exertion.

Activate muscle recovery
Aid detoxification
Trigger relaxation
Ignite weight loss
Reduce blood pressure

What are the user benefits of a Solace Sauna?

The benefits of infrared light technology are truly endless, but to name some major properties, it’s credited for calorie burning leading to weight loss, skin rejuvenation, pain relief and muscle relaxation leading to faster post-workout recovery and muscle growth.
‍
Regular sauna use has also been associated with improved brain health, with a study conducted by the University of Finland by Dr. Jari Laukkanen finding it lowered the risk of cognitive decline, including Alzhimers and Dementia:

Is a Solace Sauna good for my skin?

A sauna session improves collagen production, skin health and rejuvenation, and detoxification, leading to anti-aging benefits.

Is a Solace Sauna relaxing?

Users get the purifying benefits of a rejuvenating sweat after a hard workout or stand-alone remedial session. The direct heat clears the mind and allows the body to relax. These rejuvenative effects have even been associated with increased brain health and function.

How does Solace Sauna help muscles recover faster?

Studies into the effects of sauna sessions have shown that deep penetration of far-infrared heat is favourable for neuromuscular system recovery after an intense endurance workout. This type of infrared sauna bathing is light loading for the body and allows muscles to relax and recover.

Sauna use promotes muscle growth and longevity, as well as the release of human growth hormone (HGH). During a session, the body releases heat shock proteins (HSPs). These HSPs help prevent muscle breakdown by scavenging free radicals and maintaining healthy glutathione levels. They've also been shown to repair damaged proteins that might otherwise be destroyed by the body.

Why is a Solace Sauna recommended after a workout?

During a Solace Sauna session, the body releases heat shock proteins, which help prevent muscle breakdown from oxidative stress. When strategically integrated after a gym session, the Solace Sauna will increase cardio output and promote muscle growth, repair and longevity, amplifying the user’s body goals and gains and improving recovery times after endurance training.

What makes a Solace Sauna different from a traditional sauna?

Solace Sauna goes deeper into tissue and cells with the full force of Near, Mid and Far heatwave lengths. Unlike the extreme heat of a traditional sauna, infrared light targets the body with temperatures ranging from 45 - 60 degrees Celcius without heating the surrounding air. By increasing the body’s core temperature by up to three degrees, it fires-up neuromuscular conditioning and unlocks the healing and detox perks of working up a healthy sweat.

Can a Solace Sauna help with weight loss?

Mid and Far-infrared light waves penetrate into the body and increase circulation. This can induce the same type of effect as a passive cardiovascular workout, leading to calorie burning of up to 400 calories in a 30 minute sauna session or up to 600 in a 45 minute session.

Is a Solace Sauna safe to use?

Our bodies are designed to absorb infrared heat and for most people, infrared saunas are safe. However, if you’re on medications, are pregnant, have implanted medical devices or a medical condition, please assess with your doctor before using a Solace Sauna.

Is it safe to bring a phone or iPad into the Solace Sauna?

Generally, it is safe to bring electronic devices into a Solace Sauna, as infrared heat is designed to penetrate mostly into the body, with only 20% of the heat remaining in the air. Solace Sessions will not be liable for any damages to devices, so please use your judgement when deciding to bring an electronic device into the sauna.

How often should someone use a Solace Sauna for optimal benefits?

In short, the more times, the better. Predisposing the body to heat in regular sauna sessions can activate muscle growth and make the body better at dealing with increased cardiovascular strain during training. We suggest making it a regular part of your gym routine for best results.

How does the Solace Sessions App work?

It’s a clever little piece of tech that empowers users to book their own sessions, pay in advance and gain access to the sauna independently, without the need for gym staff intervention or assistance. Clients simply download the app and book through their phone. After payment is made, they’ll receive a digital pass code which unlocks the sauna at the time of their session. Afterwards, the sauna will lock again automatically.

What do users need to take for a Solace Sessions?

Users will need two clean towels and a bottle of water. Remember to keep hydrated throughout the session to avoid becoming dizzy or light-headed from the heat.
