Looking for a natural way to achieve your fitness goals? Infrared sauna could be your solution!

According to a clinical study conducted by Dr. Richard Beever, a family practice physician, far infrared sauna (FIRS) not only offers cardiovascular benefits but can also help with fat loss.

In fact, FIRS can reduce blood pressure and waist circumference, which are both critical factors for weight management. Moreover, FIRS is an easy habit to create and has higher patient uptake than other lifestyle adjustments.

Want to try it out? Visit our sauna and experience the benefits of natural fat loss for yourself!

In today's fast-paced world, it's crucial to prioritize rest and recovery for optimal health and well-being. Our infrared sauna is the perfect place to unwind and recover. It offers deeply restorative rest that can help increase your overall state of well-being.

Not only does it provide mental relaxation, but it also aids in muscle recovery. The infrared heat penetrates deeper into your muscles, increases blood flow, and helps your body recover faster, so you can stay in the game of sports and life.

Regular use of our infrared sauna can also lead to better sleep, reduced stress, and improved mood.

It's a great place to:

🧘‍♀️ Meditate
😮‍💨 Practice mindful breathing,
💆‍♀️ Relax and enjoy some quiet time.

Plus, our sauna comes with chromotherapy, which casts colors into the sauna, creating an artful atmosphere with a balancing effect on your body.

So, take a break and book a session in our infrared sauna today! Your mind and body will thank you for it. Link 👇

After one year of regular infrared sauna use at In2itive Fitness, I can confidently say that it has been a game-changer for my physical and mental health! 💦😌

Here are a few of the benefits I noticed along the way…

1️⃣ Learning to calm my mind, and be present in the moment. Sitting alone in the sauna, with soothing, spa music was fundamental to my mental health and ability to balance running a bigger and significantly more expensive and complicated business, while raising and caring for my two young boys, in addition to our general busyness of a two-entrepreneur household. It helped. A LOT. 🧘‍♀️🎶

2️⃣ More defined muscles. 💪💪 I’m pretty sure I didn’t work out anymore or any less than I did in 2021, but I definitely noticed my muscle tone more. This is a known benefit of infrared sauna. And I’m happy to report it’s true!

3️⃣ Ability to handle stress. 😎 Just like exercise and cold exposure therapy, heat therapy is a positive stressor on the body. (It’s called a hormedic stress or U stress.) So, by stressing your body on purpose, and using your mind to tell your nervous system that this is not going to harm you, you are preparing your body for the unknown and often more stressful situations real life can throw at you. I truly felt more resilient this year than ever before. 💪🧠

4️⃣ It highlighted the benefits of (super easy) low-intensity “workouts”- how? The body’s reaction to sitting in a sauna is very similar to participating in a low-intensity workout. Since I lift heavy and do some high-intensity training, I MUST not only prioritize rest days and recovery but also include low-intensity workouts on days in between. After the age of 40, women do not need MORE cortisol-inducing activities, especially with our naturally declining s*x hormones. That is a recipe for disaster. 🤯Including outdoor walking (in the elements, all of them☔️🌈🌞) and indoor sauna has filled in the gaps between my more heavy/intense workouts, to complete my own personal fitness and wellness routine. As a result, I’ve never felt better! 🚶‍♀️🔥

5️⃣ Moreover, the sauna has reaffirmed my knowledge that alone time and quiet time spark my creative juices. Some of my best writing has happened in my mind during sauna sessions, and when I take the time to put it on paper afterward, I've produced some of my best work. It has become a space for me to relax, reflect, and let my creativity flow. ✍️🧠

If you're intrigued by the incredible benefits of regular sauna use that I've experienced, why not give it a try for yourself?

It can be a real challenge to put the work day behind you and switch off for the evening - BEST trick we’ve found ⤵️

EVENING YOGA! 🧘‍♀️

Here’s why…

1️⃣ Reduces stress: Practicing yoga after a workday can help release tension in your body and mind, and promote a sense of calm, relaxation, and improved quality of sleep.

2️⃣ Enhances mindfulness: Yoga encourages you to connect with the present moment - being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations. By practicing mindfulness, you can become more aware of any negative thoughts or emotions that may be lingering from your workday, and learn to let them go.

3️⃣ Boosts mood: Yoga has been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is associated with happiness and well-being.

By joining our upcoming 5-week yoga flow you will learn practices for health and well-being not only for your physical health but your mental as well.

Switch off, reconnect & relax with some dedication and intentional time for yourself.

Registration closes on Friday, April 7th or until we are fully booked (this class ALWAYS fills up fast!)

We begin April 10th - May 10th | Class runs every Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 pm-6:30 pm for 5 weeks.

Are you one of the many people around the world who don't get enough sleep? 😴

According to Philips' global sleep survey, over 60% of adults don't sleep as well as they'd like, and nearly 70% experience sleep disturbances every night.

Stress is a significant contributor to poor sleep, with studies showing that as stress levels increase, so does the number of days people feel sleepy.

Chronic stress, in particular, can cause a rise in cortisol levels, making it even harder to sleep potentially leading to physical, emotional, and cognitive effects, from decreased immune functioning to difficulty focusing.

To improve your sleep, try incorporating stress-reducing activities such:

🤍 Yoga
🤍 Meditation
🤍 Low-intensity exercise
🤍 Getting outside in nature.
🤍 S*x
🤍 Add infrared therapy to your routine. Research suggests that infrared therapy may improve the amount and quality of sleep by increasing blood flow to your muscles and the skin

On the days that I sauna, I sleep extra deep for sure 😴

Get your heart pumping withOUT strenuous exercise!

Did you know that saunaing is a form of passive cardio that offers the same cardiovascular benefits as moderate workouts?

In fact, research suggests that saunaing can improve health by improving the function of endothelial cells that line every artery in the body.

The heat from the sauna increases heart rate, which improves circulation and enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

In addition, the benefits of physical activity such as insulin sensitivity, immune system protection, and brain health are also achieved through saunaing.

So sit back, relax, and let your heart do the work!

It's crazy to see how much I and my business have grown over the past year.

🏋️‍♀️ I moved into a brand new AMAZING studio
💦 I'm now offering Infrared Sauna sessions and bookings (and of course indulging myself!)

I call this “Mommy’s off duty!”

Today was a BUSY day, and I’m just beat.

Early start with kids football (I did sneak in a great workout between games 🏋️‍♀️) some online biz work while managing children so they don’t destroy the house with their various “projects” 😆 as well as some house chores.

I do love weekends but on busy or kid-heavy days I run out of steam and need to “check out” which is where my dinner inspo comes from 🪄 LAZINESS!

📝 This is the lazy nutritionist’s guide to an easy Saturday night (or any night you need!)

1️⃣ Easy dinner: pictured here is Teton Waters Ranch grass-fed beef hot dogs (found at Costco) apple slices, some cheese, snow peas and some nutthins, a fav in our house.

2️⃣ Put on movie for the kids

3️⃣ Head upstairs and read a book, do some mindless scrolling, take a bath or go for a peaceful walk (if your kids are old enough to be alone of course 😉 the perks of having a teenager)

While family time is super important to me, and I also love a good family movie night, sometimes I just need the self-care to be able to better show up for everyone 💗

What is an Infrared Sauna and why is it better than your regular sauna?

Infrared sauna therapy heats the body directly rather than simply warming the air around you, it raises the core body temperature and produces a deep, detoxifying sweat for a host of anti-aging benefits, including detoxification, lower blood pressure, skin purification, cell health, weight loss, muscle recovery, improved circulation, and wound healing.

Infrared is nature's healing light (think sunlight!) 🌞 these healthy wavelengths deliver a gentle nudge to your cells which stimulate them to release toxins, and can help you feel better, do more, and live fully.

Forget the harsh heat of traditional saunas, our provide a comfortable, gentle heat that is enjoyable for the entire session.

I want you to be able to fulfill all of your responsibilities with total confidence, supercharged energy, and focus, so you are ready to take on the world.

Because I know what the other end of the spectrum looks like, when you're burnt out trying to juggle it all with 0 energy left in the tank...there was a time when I couldn’t handle it all, it was just too much.

And you know, the FIRST thing to be knocked off my list of responsibilities was always MYSELF.

My self-care took a back seat.

But the thing is without self-care, everything else comes crumbling down, your life will perform better without a burnt-out woman leading the show.

Come join a handful of busy women at In2itive Fitness for a day of relief and retreat. We will take a deep dive look into how you can better de-stress and unwind to FOCUS and plan and be PREPARED for the chaos of your daily busy-ness.

This day is about re-centering, education around healthier habits of self-care, relaxation, energizing and sharing!

Your keynote speaker will offer advice on:

• How to de-stress and unwind to FOCUS and plan and be PREPARED for the chaos of your daily busy-ness
• How to be less busy
• Morning rituals, feeling good in your body, fasting, “break-fast” and 3pm energy hacks (hint: it involves NO caffeine or sugar)
• Better Self-care for better productivity

PLUS you'll receive:

• Break-Fast and Share: Enjoy a farm-fresh local chef-prepared lunch by Lettuce Be LoCo

Sore from your workout? Heat therapy is a great way heal, refresh and come back stronger than ever for your next session!

No one wants muscle soreness to slow them down. After your training sessions, proper muscle recovery is crucial to keep doing what you love, moving your body and staying healthy and fit!

Infrared sauna therapy penetrates muscles deeper, increases blood flow, and helps the body recover faster so you can stay focused on your fitness goals.

TOP TIP: The heat from your sauna session will help to flush out lactic acid, which helps release tension from muscles. By stretching and sweating from the heat of the sauna you will increase your flexibility and flush out lactic acid.

Add a sauna session to your post-workout routine to let your muscles recover better and faster!

Your number 1 priority should always be yourself... here's why 👇

Self-care is something that is easily forgotten when you've spent a long time prioritizing everyone else, be it aging parents, partners, kids, friends, your career... the list goes on.

Which is why we are holding this event at In2itive Fitness, to remind you how to take care of yourself first.

Once you master self-care, your inner balance can be restored, your cup filled and you can show up for your other responsibilities with more energy, attention, and care.

I get it, you are empowered by showing up for others, you want to be the very best version of yourself and it’s not uncommon that in the process you run yourself into the ground.

The hard truth is that you can't be the best version of yourself without prioritizing YOU first.

Self-care is not a luxury – it’s essential.

Sign up for our One-Day Self-Love Workshop for a deep dive look into your lifestyle, your workload, and how you can maintain better balance with some added (and much deserved) TLC.

Did you know that infrared can help strengthen your immune system? ❤️

Immune boosting is on all our minds at the moment as we fight to stay healthy and safe... but what if we could relax our way to health instead?

Infrared saunas heat your core body temperature which activates your immune system to fight infections and reduce inflammation.

Not only this but your circulatory system will also be stimulated, meaning better blood circulation and more toxins flowing to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery, and strengthen the immune system.

After months in lockdown, our immune system could do with a little boost!
