Why Is Infrared Light Good for You?

The Health Benefits – And Why We’re Adding It to Our Reformer & Hot Fitness Pilates Classes

https://images.openai.com/static-rsc-3/ghAf6vhlk-Mb2a3-fVB5TzI9vVZBVWgu7KewNQHJuV16kpTvsLLsAqc-kB-5zDeOp_s4g734UIJY-2sdq3vtffca1WJLh4aLeghveAuJW8w?purpose=fullsize&v=1

Infrared light is becoming one of the most talked-about wellness tools in boutique studios, recovery centres and performance spaces — and for good reason.

Unlike traditional heating systems that simply warm the air, infrared light gently heats the body directly, creating a deeper, more therapeutic warmth. It feels natural, soothing and energising all at once.

Here’s why it’s so beneficial — and why we’re integrating it into our Reformer Fitness Pilates and Hot Fitness Pilates classes.


1. Supports Circulation & Oxygen Delivery

Infrared warmth encourages vasodilation (the widening of blood vessels), which helps improve circulation.

Better circulation means:

  • Increased oxygen delivery to working muscles
  • Improved nutrient transport
  • Enhanced recovery after exercise

For Pilates, this means your body feels warm, supple and ready to move with control and precision.


2. Eases Muscle Tension & Joint Stiffness

The gentle, penetrating warmth of infrared light helps:

  • Reduce muscular tightness
  • Support joint mobility
  • Relieve general aches and stiffness

This is particularly powerful in Reformer sessions where alignment and smooth, controlled movement are essential. Clients often report feeling looser and more fluid without needing an overly intense warm-up.


3. Enhances Detoxification Through Sweating

In Hot Fitness Pilates sessions, infrared heat encourages a deeper, more efficient sweat.

Sweating supports:

  • Natural detox pathways
  • Skin health
  • Post-exercise endorphin release

It creates that deeply satisfying “reset” feeling at the end of class.


4. Supports Recovery & Inflammation Management

Emerging research suggests infrared light may support recovery by helping manage inflammation and encouraging cellular repair processes.

For clients who:

  • Train regularly
  • Experience joint discomfort
  • Are navigating midlife changes
  • Or simply want better recovery

Infrared-enhanced sessions provide a supportive environment for movement without high impact.


5. Boosts Mood & Energy

Warmth is regulating for the nervous system.

Infrared sessions can feel:

  • Calming
  • Grounding
  • Uplifting

That combination of gentle heat, controlled breathing and focused Pilates movement creates a powerful mind-body experience. Clients leave feeling both energised and relaxed.
