Infrared Sauna
At Routine, our infrared saunas are designed to feel restorative, private, and customizable — whether you’re coming in solo or sharing the experience.
We use Sunlighten Infrared Saunas, an industry leader known for high-quality full-spectrum infrared technology and thoughtful design.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Two private infrared sauna rooms
• Each sauna comfortably fits 2 people (snugly, 3 people)
• Customizable lighting so you can set the vibe
• Bluetooth connectivity to play your own music, podcast, or meditation
• Quiet, private space — no shared sauna rooms here
INFRARED VS. STEAM SAUNAInfrared saunas heat the body directly rather than warming the air around you. The result? A more comfortable temperature, a dry, breathable environment, and sessions that feel restorative instead of overwhelming.
Traditional steam saunas rely on high heat and humidity. Infrared uses light waves to gently warm tissues from the inside out — often making it a better option for people who don’t love intense heat.

Red Light Therapy
We offer full-body red and near-infrared light therapy using PlatinumLED panels — a trusted, research-backed leader in photobiomodulation technology.
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that penetrate beneath the skin’s surface to support cellular repair, collagen production, reduced inflammation, and faster muscle recovery — all without heat. Many people notice less post-workout soreness, healthier and more vibrant skin, and subtle boosts in energy and mood.
Non-invasive and gentle, red light therapy works beautifully alongside movement or as a standalone reset when your body needs extra support.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• One private red light therapy room
• Two full-body panels for head-to-toe coverage
• Time to meditate, relax, or listen to a podcast
• Quiet, calm environment
Potential Benefits
Improved muscle recovery and reduced inflammation
Skin health and collagen support
Joint comfort and tissue repair

Compression Therapy
We use NormaTec Recovery Systems, the gold standard in compression technology trusted by athletes, physical therapists, and recovery studios worldwide. These boots use dynamic, pulsed compression to support circulation, reduce swelling and inflammation, flush out metabolic waste, and relieve tired, heavy legs — helping them feel lighter and recover faster.
Perfect for runners, walkers, teachers, service workers, weightlifters, frequent travelers, and anyone who spends long days on their feet (or sitting).
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Multiple boot sizes available for a comfortable, customized fit
• Five cozy chaise lounges situated by big windows
• Reliable WiFi — perfect for chilling or getting some emails done
• Time to relax, zone out, or listen to a podcast (Bring headphones and prepare to vibe.)
The Research
A closer look at the research behind our wellness offerings.
Red Light Therapy
Red and near-infrared light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) has been studied for its potential effects on cellular function, inflammation, skin health, and recovery.

Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas use radiant heat to warm the body more directly, often at lower ambient temperatures than traditional steam or dry saunas. Research on sauna bathing and passive heat exposure suggests potential benefits related to cardiovascular health, circulation, relaxation, and stress reduction.

Compression Therapy
Intermittent pneumatic compression (such as NormaTec-style boots) has been studied for its potential role in circulation support, soreness reduction, and perceived recovery — particularly following exercise.
