Heat training

Each session in our infrared heat cabin typically lasts 50 to 60 minutes and costs **€30. During this time, the temperature gradually increases, allowing your body to adapt and maximize the benefits of heat acclimation. The objective is to endure the heat for 50 minutes.

*price per session:

• €30 per session: 1 hour (heat cabin allows 2 people)
• €90 half day session
• €135 full day
• €240 weekend exclusive

**added to your accommodation invoice if you are a resident. Paid upfront if it is a stand alone session.

Our cabin maintains a controlled environment with temperatures ranging from 35°C to 50°C (95°F to 122°F), which is ideal for stimulating the physiological adaptations associated with heat training.

To optimize your heat training, we recommend starting with 2-3 sessions per week, gradually increasing intensity as your body acclimates. For endurance athletes, this can be combined with moderate to high-intensity exercise such as cycling, running, stretching and yoga during the session.

We prioritize your safety and stress that you carefully monitor your session and ensure proper hydration before, during, and after. We advise drinking water or an electrolyte-rich beverage to prevent dehydration.

After each session, allow your body to cool down gradually. We recommend a post-session cool-down routine, including gentle stretching and hydration to aid in recovery and reinforce the benefits of the heat exposure.

For those new to heat training, start with 2-3 sessions per week. As you become more accustomed, you can increase the frequency based on your training goals and how your body adapts. Regular sessions over a 2-4 week period can lead to significant physiological benefits.

Heat training increases your blood plasma volume, which enhances cardiovascular efficiency by improving the delivery of oxygen to working muscles. It also boosts thermoregulation, allowing your body to cool more effectively, and improves sweat response, making you more resilient during prolonged exertion.

You can integrate heat training into your current routine by performing your usual workouts in the infrared heat cabin. Begin with low to moderate intensity exercises and gradually build up to more intense sessions. Heat training can be particularly effective during the build-up phase of your training cycle, helping to simulate race-day conditions if you’ll be competing in a hot climate.

Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing to help manage sweat and keep you comfortable during the session. Avoid heavy fabrics that can trap heat and increase the risk of overheating. Bring a towel and plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Infrared heat training is generally safe for most people, but it’s important to listen to your body. Those with heart conditions, heat sensitivity, or who are pregnant should consult with a healthcare provider before starting. Our sessions are closely monitored to ensure a safe and beneficial experience for all participants.

To maximize the benefits, combine heat training with proper hydration, nutrition, and recovery strategies. Gradual exposure is key—start slow and build up your tolerance to the heat. Consistency over a period of weeks will yield the best results.
