From Workout to Wellness: The Training Day Sauna Experience
At Training Day Gym, we’re passionate about helping you elevate your fitness journey into a complete wellness experience. With our 24-hour gyms in Clayton, Burwood, and Scoresby, we offer more than just a place to lift weights or join group classes, we provide a welcoming space where strength and kindness coexist, guided by our motto, “Strong By Choice.” One of the standout features at select locations is our sauna, a perfect way to unwind, relax, and enhance your overall health after a workout. Whether you’re new to the sauna or a seasoned user, this blog will guide you through the sauna experience at Training Day Gym, highlighting its benefits, how it works, and why it’s a game-changer for your wellness routine.
Discover the Power of Our Infrared Sauna
Unlike a traditional sauna that uses hot rocks or steam to crank up the heat in the surrounding air, our infrared sauna at Training Day Gym takes a modern approach. Powered by Sunlighten mPulse technology, it uses infrared light, delivering full-spectrum infrared waves (near, mid, and far) to heat your body directly. This means the infrared heat penetrates your skin and muscles, raising your body temperature gently without the intense heat of a steam sauna. Operating at lower temperatures (50°C to 60°C), our sauna offers a comfortable yet powerful sauna session that’s accessible to everyone.
Here’s what sets our infrared sauna apart:
Near Infrared: Boosts muscle recovery and cellular growth, helping your muscles relax after a tough workout.
Mid Infrared: Improves blood circulation and blood flow, speeding up healing and reducing soreness.
Far Infrared: Heats your body deeply, triggering a detoxifying sweat that flushes out toxins and dead skin cells.
This modern design, crafted with premium materials, makes our infrared saunas a cut above traditional steam saunas, offering health benefits without the overwhelming high heat. It’s a high-quality sauna experience that complements your fitness goals and leaves you feeling warm, relaxed, and rejuvenated.
Why Add a Sauna to Your Routine?
Regular sauna sessions at Training Day Gym can transform your post-workout recovery into a wellness experience packed with potential health benefits. Here’s why our members love stepping into the sauna:
Relaxation: The soothing infrared heat helps your muscles relax, melting away stress for ultimate relaxation.
Detoxification: Sweating in the sauna cleanses your body, removing impurities and leaving your skin glowing.
Muscle Recovery: The deep heat eases muscle tension, making it ideal for post-workout muscle recovery.
Improved Circulation: Increased blood flow supports your immune system and enhances your body’s healing power.
Heart Health: The heat raises your heart rate, mimicking a light cardio session for better cardiovascular health.
Skin Health: Say goodbye to dead skin cells as the sauna rejuvenates your skin with every sweat.
These benefits make the sauna a must-try, whether you’re winding down after a group class, a personal training session, or a solo gym visit. It’s not just about sweating, it’s about feeling stronger, healthier, and more balanced.
Getting Ready For Your Sauna Session
To make the most of your sauna experience, a little prep goes a long way. Here’s how to set yourself up for success:
Hydrate: Sip water before, during, and after your sauna session to replace fluids lost through sweating.
Dress Right: Wear loose, breathable clothing like cotton shorts or a swimsuit. Check out our Sauna Etiquette Guide for more tips on attire.
Start Small: Begin with a 15-20 minute sauna session, building up to 45 minutes as you get comfortable with the heat.
Stay Safe: If the temperature feels too much or you get dizzy, step out and cool off. We’re here to help you relax, not overdo it.
These tips ensure your sauna time is both enjoyable and safe, letting you focus on the benefits without worry.

Infrared Sauna vs. Traditional Sauna: What’s the Difference?

Heat Style: Infrared light warms your body directly, while traditional steam saunas rely on hot rocks and steam to heat the air.
Temperature: Our sauna runs at lower temperatures, avoiding the intense heat of a steam sauna for a more tolerable experience.
Efficiency: Infrared heat delivers deeper detoxification and muscle recovery without wasting energy heating the surrounding air.
Comfort: No barrel saunas or old saunas here; our infrared sauna offers a sleek, modern vibe with all the benefits.
