Therapy OVERVIEW — FIT Bodywrap (Infrared Sauna Wrap)

The FIT Body-wrap Classic Infrared Sauna Blanket System (Renewed) is a full-body, FAR-infrared wrap that “cocoons” you in heat for a 45–60 minute session using a renewed controller + new body wrap for a whole-body wellness experience. 

Infrared heat delivers direct warmth to the body (often at lower air temperatures than traditional saunas) and commonly produces vigorous sweating and an increased heart rate, similar to the body’s response to moderate exercise. 

​

Best described as: a passive heat therapy session designed for relaxation, recovery, and general wellness support. Evidence for benefits exists in several areas, but results vary and some popular “detox/weight loss” claims are often overstated. 

​

WHY — Why do a FIT Bodywrap session?

People choose infrared/sauna-style heat sessions for a few main reasons:

1. Recovery + Sore muscle support

   • Heat exposure increases circulation and may help with post-exercise recovery and muscle soreness for some people. 

2. Pain relief (especially chronic pain)

   • Infrared and heat-based therapies have evidence showing potential benefit as a complementary option for certain chronic pain conditions. 

3. Cardiovascular “exercise-like” response (without exercising)

   • Sauna bathing is associated in research with improvements in cardiovascular risk markers and outcomes (observational + some clinical studies). Infrared saunas may produce a similar physiologic response, but more high-quality studies are still needed. 

4. Relaxation + stress downshift

   • Heat sessions can feel deeply calming and may support relaxation and sleep quality for some users.

5. Weight-loss support (set expectations correctly)

   • Infrared heat may temporarily increase heart rate and sweating. Some people notice short-term changes on the scale due to fluid loss. For lasting body composition change, pair sessions with consistent movement, nutrition, and hydration. 

 

RECOMMENDED — Who it’s for + frequency

Great fit for:

• People seeking recovery, relaxation, or heat-based pain support 

• People who prefer an option that can feel more comfortable than high-heat traditional saunas 

 

A practical starter plan (safe + sustainable):

• Week 1: 2 sessions/week

• Weeks 2–4: 3 sessions/week as tolerated

• Maintenance: 1–3 sessions/week based on goals

 

Session length: FIT Bodywrap sessions are designed for 45–60 minutes, but if you’re new to heat therapy, start conservatively (lower settings/shorter exposures) and build up based on how you feel. General infrared sauna guidance commonly recommends starting low and short and progressing gradually. 

 

Hydration is non-negotiable: Heat + sweat can dehydrate you. Follow evidence-based hydration habits (water + electrolytes as needed). 

 

Avoid / check with your clinician first if:

• Pregnant (especially early pregnancy) 

• Heat intolerance / multiple sclerosis 

• Significant cardiovascular disease, fainting/low blood pressure issues, or you’re on meds that affect hydration/heat tolerance (Mayo recommends checking with a provider if you have pre-existing conditions). 

 

DETOX RESULTS — What sweating can and can’t do

 

What’s true: Sweat can contain trace amounts of certain elements/substances, and research has measured heavy metals in sweat under different sweating conditions. 

 

What’s commonly exaggerated: The idea that you “detox” large amounts of toxins through sweating is not well proven, and reputable medical education sources caution that “sweat detox” claims are still emerging/controversial. 

 

Best, evidence-aligned framing for your site:

• FIT Bodywrap sessions promote sweating and can support a “reset” feeling. 

• Your body’s primary detox systems are the liver and kidneys; sweating is not a replacement for those systems. 

​

SUMMARY — What this can help improve

Most supportable benefits (wellness-forward, evidence-aligned):

• Relaxation + stress reduction 

• Muscle recovery / soreness support 

• Pain relief support (complementary option) 

• Cardiovascular conditioning-like response (passive heat therapy) 

• Skin “glow” after sessions is common anecdotally (increased circulation/sweat), but avoid promising acne/eczema/psoriasis treatment outcomes unless you’re quoting specific clinical protocols.
