But what exactly is infrared training, and why is everyone talking about it?

What Is Infrared Training?

Unlike traditional heating systems that warm the air around you, infrared heat works by gently warming the body directly. This creates a deeply therapeutic environment that encourages circulation, flexibility and muscle activation while you train.

At GROUND by Studio 34, every session takes place in a purpose-built infrared-heated studio, allowing your body to move more efficiently while challenging your strength, endurance and control. (Instagram)

The result is a workout that feels powerful, energising and deeply restorative all at once.

1. Improved Circulation and Recovery

One of the biggest benefits of infrared heat is its ability to increase blood flow throughout the body.

Enhanced circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to working muscles more efficiently, supporting recovery and reducing feelings of stiffness after exercise. Many clients find that they recover faster between sessions and experience less post-workout soreness compared to traditional training environments.

For anyone balancing busy careers, family life and fitness goals, improved recovery can make all the difference.

2. Increased Flexibility and Mobility

Warm muscles move better.

Infrared heat helps muscles, joints and connective tissues become more pliable, allowing for greater range of motion during exercise. This can help improve flexibility while reducing the likelihood of strain or injury.

Whether you’re a regular exerciser or returning to movement after time away, the heated environment allows you to move with greater freedom and confidence.

3. A More Effective Strength Workout

Ground is not simply a heated class.

The concept has been specifically designed to strengthen, sculpt and challenge the body through intelligent movement patterns and resistance-based training. Weighted exercises, dynamic sequencing and controlled movement help build lean muscle while improving overall body composition. (Instagram)

By combining strength training with infrared heat, participants experience a workout that feels both athletic and low impact.

4. Enhanced Calorie Burn

As your body works to regulate its temperature during an infrared workout, energy expenditure naturally increases.

Combined with Ground’s strength-focused programming, this creates an efficient full-body workout that challenges both muscular endurance and cardiovascular fitness.

Many people find infrared training helps support fat loss goals while maintaining lean muscle mass.

5. Reduced Stress and Improved Wellbeing

Wellness is about more than physical results.

The gentle warmth of infrared heat can create a calming effect on the nervous system, helping reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Many clients describe leaving infrared classes feeling both energised and mentally refreshed.

In today’s fast-paced world, finding a workout that supports both physical and mental wellbeing is increasingly important.

6. Low-Impact, High Results

One of the reasons infrared fitness has become so popular is its accessibility.

Ground workouts are designed to challenge all fitness levels while remaining kind to the joints. The combination of controlled movement, strength work and heat allows participants to achieve impressive results without the impact associated with many traditional fitness classes.

This makes it suitable for a wide range of people looking to build strength, improve fitness and feel better in their bodies.
