Infrared Sauna

How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?

At Baltimore Country Club, our Fitness & Wellness Team is committed to discovering new ways to enhance the overall wellness of our members. While the Men’s Locker Room at our Roland Park Clubhouse has offered a sauna for years, we recognized the need to provide the same experience for our female members. We wanted to help our members elevate their self-care routines and enjoy various benefits. As a result, we installed an infrared and red-light therapy sauna in the Ladies’ Locker Room at our Five Farms clubhouse.

How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?

Our Fitness & Wellness Team collaborated with our Engineering Team to select and install the perfect sauna for the Ladies’ Locker Room. After thorough consideration, they chose a custom four-person sauna from Sunlighten. This state-of-the-art sauna was seamlessly incorporated into the design of the locker room, with its placement thoughtfully chosen in the convenient area near the showers. This location ensures ease of access for our members while enhancing the locker room experience. The Sunlighten sauna combines the deep-penetrating heat of infrared technology with the rejuvenating benefits of red-light therapy. It also offers many benefits, including anti-aging, weight loss, heart health, immunity, detoxification, muscle recovery, relaxation, and sleep.

Prior to introducing the sauna to members, our Director of Fitness & Wellness hosted demo sessions exclusively for female staff members. These sessions ensured staff could become familiar with the sauna’s features and benefits, enabling them to serve as an additional resource for members. After this, we extended the demo sessions to members so they could learn about the sauna and its benefits firsthand. Due to high demand, we added additional demo times to accommodate more participants. We supplemented the demo times with an informational booklet, emails, and a video. Since its introduction, members have expressed great enthusiasm and satisfaction with their use of the sauna, solidifying it as a valued addition to our wellness offerings.

Member Testimonials

“The infrared sauna has been a wonderful addition to the Club and to my routine. It’s my new favorite way to unwind after a workout or take a break in my day to recharge and relax. The different programs and settings offer an awesome variety and I have already noticed better sleep and improvements in my joints.”

“Adding sessions in the Infrared Sauna after the group exercise classes has really helped relieve some of my knee pain. My goal is to use it 3 times a week. It’s a great new addition to the Ladies’ Locker Room!”

“I have been using our Club’s new Infrared Sauna once or twice a week for about 6 weeks. I use the pain relief setting and cannot believe how effective it’s been for my fibromyalgia and various athletic injuries. I truly look forward to spending an extra half hour after exercise classes knowing how good I will feel for the rest of the day.”
