Full spectrum Infared Sauna | Salt therapy
Red light therapy provides several science supported benefits like skin health, mental health and pain relief.
What is SWEATEQUITY
Some are aware of the benefits of FAR infrared, but at SWEATEQUITY we offer full-spectrum infrared saunas, complete with Chromotherapy, which combines the benefits of near and mid infrared to increase the body’s core temperature faster thus resulting in a much deeper, more detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin where many toxins are housed.

FAQ
Arrival & Departure
Plan out your sauna time! Please arrive on time or early. A session includes 40 minutes in the sauna, with 10 minutes to cleanse and change. We try to accommodate as many of our clients as possible, so we book the rooms back to back with enough time in between to clean and get things ready for the next client. Staying longer delays other guests. Because of this we ask that you arrive no later than 5 minutes prior to your appointment start time and make sure you vacate the room when your booked time is up. Additional time in the room is subject to a $2.00/minute charge. Please spend time in our rejuvenation lounge if you require additional time to unwind.
What to Wear
We will provide each client with a towel, as well as one towel to sit on. Extra towels are available at $2 each. Skin exposure is preferable – some like to wear their bathing suits or undergarments when in the sauna but most go in with just the towels we provide. We recommend clothing that is loose fitting and comfortable to put back on after your session.
Want to burn calories?
As you relax in the comfort of your own sauna suite, your body is actually hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart will work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to boost circulation. This increase in your metabolism will burn calories. Regular use may be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise.
Is red light therapy safe
Yes, RLT is FDA-approved for various therapeutic uses and is non-invasive with minimal side effects.
Can red light therapy help with weight loss
RLT may support weight loss indirectly by improving metabolic function and reducing inflammation, which helps optimize overall health. It’s not a standalone solution but complements a healthy lifestyle.
Can I combine red light therapy with other treatments
Yes, RLT pairs well with treatments like:
- Facials or microdermabrasion for enhanced skincare
