What is an InBody test?The InBody Test provides a comprehensive view of body composition balance. Body water, proteins, minerals, and body fat, which are the components of the human body, closely relate to the status of our health.
-
What is body composition?Body composition is a method of describing what the body is made of. It includes fat, protein, minerals, and body water. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass, and body fat percentage. This can help validate services like personal training, patient care, corporate wellness programs, and many more.
-
How accurate is the InBody?InBody’s accuracy has been tested and validated through numerous medical studies. Over 400 papers have been published utilizing InBody devices for research around the globe. From dialysis to cancer related research, medical professionals and researchers trust InBody body composition analyzers to provide trustworthy data.
-
How does the InBody work?Our InBody device uses a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure body composition, which divide your weight into different components, such as lean body mass and fat mass, to assess your health and help guide interventions. However unlike other body composition analyzers, it does not use empirical estimations such as age, gender, ethnicity, athleticism, or body shape. InBody’s medical-grade body composition analyzers rely on four pillars of technology to provide clients with accurate and precise direct segmental measurement multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-MFBIA) results that have been extensively validated to gold-standard methods.

What is Infrared Sauna?Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly. The sauna uses infrared panels instead of conventional heat to easily penetrate human tissue, heating up your body before heating up the air. An infrared sauna can operate at a lower temperature (usually between 120˚F and 140˚F) than a traditional sauna, which is typically between 150˚F and 180˚F. Manufacturers claim that in an infrared sauna, only about 20 percent of the heat goes to heat the air and the other 80 percent directly heats your body. Supporters of infrared saunas say the heat penetrates more deeply than warmed air. This allows you to experience a more intense sweat at a lower temperature.

What are the benefits of Infrared Saunas?The supposed benefits of using an infrared sauna are similar to those experienced with a traditional sauna. These include: better sleep relaxation detoxification weight loss relief from sore muscles relief from joint pain such as arthritis clear and tighter skin improved circulation help for people with chronic fatigue syndrome People have been using saunas for centuries for all sorts of health conditions. While there are several studies and research on traditional saunas, there aren’t as many studies that look specifically at infrared saunas: A small 10-person studyTrusted Source found that people with chronic fatigue syndrome benefited from using an infrared sauna as part of an overall treatment. Another 10-person studyTrusted Source found that infrared saunas helped decrease muscle soreness and increase recovery from strength-training sessions. According to one review, several studies have found that infrared light therapy saunas may help reduce blood pressure. The lack of solid evidence and wide-spread studies about the possible benefits of infrared saunas leaves the consumer (you) to sort through the claims made by the companies who provide this service. Similarly, there are no reports of negative effects so far, beyond the cautions about any sauna experience. These include the possibilities of overheating, dehydrating, and interference with medication, as well as the potential dangers for those who are pregnant, have heart disease, or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, among others. The good news: Even if your sweat session doesn’t do all of the things it claims to do, at least it still feels good. Plus, it contributes to your overall health and well-being by helping you relax, loosening up stiff or tight muscles, reducing joint pain, and giving you some much needed time to yourself.

How does the Infrared Sauna work?Members can add unlimited use of the infrared sauna to their Basic plan or upgrade to a plan that includes sauna access. Members must schedule to use the sauna through the Infrared Sauna Calendar on our website.
-
What should I know before I use the infrared sauna?There are a few things you should know before indulging in your first session. Avoid using an infrared sauna if you’ve been drinking alcohol. If you feel ill or have a fever, it’s best to wait to use the sauna until you’re feeling better. Using an infrared sauna will cause you to sweat a lot, so you may feel lightheaded when you stand up. If this happens, make sure you get up slowly and sit down once you leave the sauna. Drink water immediately after finishing your session and wait for your body to cool down before doing anything else. In extreme cases, some people may experience overheating (heat stroke and heat exhaustion) or dehydration. If you have any health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, or are under medical care, get cleared by your doctor before your first session. Even though infrared saunas have been found to be fairly safe, you don’t want to take any chances when it comes to your health and safety.

What do I wear in an infrared sauna?We suggest clean, loose fitting clothes to maximize your sauna experience.
