Our Mission

Perspire Sauna Studios strives to bring the benefits of infrared saunas to communities in a friendly, comfortable, spa-like atmosphere.

Our Vision

With a focus on excellent customer service & unique guest experience, Perspire aims to set the standard for infrared sauna studios across the country as they expand to bring IR sauna healing to every community.

Our Story

Perspire Sauna Studio’s founders were inspired by the science-backed properties of infrared saunas. They first hand experienced the benefits - from skin purification, relaxation, eased joint/muscle pain - and overall they just felt better after each session. They were shocked to discover there was no easy way to get a sauna session. So, back in 2010 they began their journey of making these benefits convenient and accessible to their Southern California community.

The age-old wellness practices of sauna heat therapy are proven and trusted, for one simple reason — they work. The first saunas built in Africa were developed to rid the body of infectious diseases. The Finnish tradition of sauna use is thought to date back as far as 7000 BC to optimize health on a daily basis. For these ancient cultures, saunas were not a luxury, but a necessity.

Here at Perspire Sauna Studio, we lead with that same belief. It’s no secret that toxins and stress invade our bodies every single day which causes a multitude of health problems both seen and unseen. It’s necessary to remove this from our bodies to optimize health.

Knowledge makes our guests powerful. As they recognize their body’s positive response to infrared and color therapy they will not only become wiser about their bodies, they will become healthier, their immune systems stronger, their skin will glow and their bodies will heal — naturally.

As our guests relax in our cedar, antimicrobial infrared sauna suites, their bodies begin to heat from the inside out the transformation begins; it’s the start of healing their body’s ailments, warding off disease, burning calories, and cleansing their cells.

We understand that we are just one destination on our guest’s wellness journey’s but we believe we are a fundamental aspect of personal health and well-being.We invite guests to relax, release, and receive the healing properties of infrared and color therapy in the comfort of private, clean, and welcoming sauna rooms.
