Perspire Sauna Studio - The Heights

Overview

Perspire Sauna Studio is a leading national chain of wellness studios specializing in full-spectrum infrared (IR) saunas integrated with advanced therapies like medical-grade red light therapy (RLT), SNØ contrast showers, and halotherapy. Established in 2010, the business combines ancient sauna traditions with modern, science-backed technology to deliver private, suite-based sessions that promote holistic health. Studios emphasize detoxification, relaxation, calorie burning (up to 400 calories per 40-minute session), muscle recovery, immunity boosting, skin rejuvenation, and improved sleep.

The overall atmosphere is serene and zen-like, featuring private suites with chromotherapy lighting, premium entertainment (Smart TVs, Bluetooth audio), and amenities like chilled eucalyptus towels and hydration stations. Sessions induce a deep, passive sweat by raising core body temperature 2-3°F, offering a gentle alternative to traditional saunas without extreme heat.
