Workouts and Technology
The signature approach, called 3D Training, combines heat, infrared energy, and exercise. Infrared heat penetrates the body, promoting circulation and detoxification through sweat. Isometric postures further accelerate toxin removal via muscle contraction. The heated environment speeds up metabolism and reduces warm-up time, while infrared energy aids recovery. Each workout is led by a certified Virtual Instructor who guides participants through consistent choreography—consistent flow for isometrics and consistent intervals for HIIT—allowing measurable progress over time. Cross-training among the 12 available workout types is encouraged to work different muscle groups and sustain motivation.
The studio emphasizes consistency as a fundamental principle, arguing that muscle strength is gained through training method consistency rather than shock. The combination of heat and infrared is intended to elevate performance and expedite results.
Visitor Experience
Regular visitors often praise the efficient workouts and the convenience of 24-hour access. The studio is frequently described as clean, calm, and welcoming, with staff who make a point to remember names and offer support. The app’s ease of use for last-minute bookings and the option to work out with lights off are popular features. Some members note that saunas can feel cramped with three people and that occasional timer issues cause temperature fluctuations. A few reviews mention an elitist atmosphere, with some feeling judged if they are not already fit. One incident involved a member being asked to leave after vomiting multiple times over a year, which the reviewer considered harsh. Overall, many members are enthusiastic about the workouts and staff, but the experience may vary depending on individual comfort levels.
