Perspire Sauna Studio - Westlake

Overview

Perspire Sauna Studio is a premier chain of wellness studios specializing in infrared (IR) saunas, combining ancient healing practices with modern, science-backed technology. Each studio features private suites equipped with full-spectrum infrared saunas, medical-grade red light therapy (RLT), chromotherapy (color light therapy), and innovative contrast therapy via the proprietary SNØ Shower—a 45°F cold waterfall shower. Established in 2010, Perspire has expanded to over 100 locations across the US, entering the $1.1 trillion wellness economy as a first-of-its-kind infrared sauna franchise.

The overall atmosphere is elevated, personal, and restorative, emphasizing privacy in individual suites. Guests enjoy a customizable experience with premium entertainment (TV, music, healing frequencies), gentle movement options like stretching or yoga, and moments of stillness for meditation. Sessions promote relaxation, detoxification, calorie burn, faster recovery, immunity boost, skin rejuvenation, and improved sleep, leaving users feeling invigorated, detoxed, and rejuvenated. Member testimonials highlight stress relief, pain management (e.g., frozen shoulder, menopause symptoms, joint pain), better skin, and mental health benefits.
