Sauna
Saunas are the ultimate environment to sweat, recover, and reap the many performance benefits of extreme heat.
The hot topic in fitness
The sauna was invented over 2000 years ago, but only recently have scientists contextualized its longevity in some of our world’s most happy and healthy cultures. Yes, it’s relaxing. But we’re here to open the steamy door to a practice capable of impacting so much more.
Benefits
Boost longevity
Improve cardio
Increase endurance
Minimize risk of brain disease
Reduce stress
Real sauna for real results
XPT isn’t the place you go to tell yourself you’re making progress. You step foot in our studio for real-life results. Extensive research shows that the true physiological effects of extreme heat exposure occur between 176 - 212℉. But the more cost-effective infrared saunas found at nearly every other wellness studio max out at around 158℉. We’re committed to strictly providing traditional, Finnish saunas, capable of reaching 185℉ or hotter.
How to reap the benefits
Practice regularly. Research shows that more frequent sauna use is associated with greater benefit.
Make it hot. The ideal temperature range for actual results is 176 - 212℉. All XPT saunas are programmed for ideal heat.
Follow a protocol. XPT’s audio experiences are there to guide you each step of the way.
Hydrate well. Make sure to replenish your water and electrolytes more frequently on sauna days.
How a traditional sauna works
Traditional saunas are wooden rooms that use heated stones to create dry heat. Saunas used in the XPT Studio are heated electrically to a temperature of between 176 - 212℉, the ideal range to receive the maximum benefit of extreme heat.
How often you should sauna
We mentioned that more frequent sauna use is associated with greater benefit. Let’s look at the numbers. In a leading Finnish study observing 2315 individuals, controlled for a variety of health and lifestyle variables, more frequent sauna use (defined as 2-3 rounds of sauna per session, measured across total sessions per week) was directly correlated with lower risk of all-cause mortality. If your goal is to boost longevity, improve cardiovascular health, and minimize risk of brain and organ disease, our advice: get hot as often as possible.
“For general health outcomes, sauna is clearly beneficial. It’s a really good idea to get hot, a lot.”
- Dr. Andy Galpin
