What benefits should I expect from sweating?

​Sweating is a bit of a miracle cure. It helps you lose weight. It improves the glow of your skin. It cleanses the inside of your body and it's a great detox. It makes you look younger. It lowers your stress and relaxes you. It improves your mood. It raises your ​metabolism for fitness. It improves your sleep. It helps regulate your hormones.  It helps you remove emotional blocks. It gives you an opportunity to spend quality ME time. And if that was not enough... it increases your energy and gives you stamina to go live a big life?   back

Does it help shape and tone my body?
The more weight you have to lose, the more dramatic the shaping and toning will be. Some people don’t experience losing pounds but report a drop by two or three sizes after a month of using regularly. The infrared treatments are most efficient if you pair them with a balanced lifestyle and implementation of healthy habits.   back

What happens when I sweat at Shape House?
When you walk in, you will be greeted with Kangan alkaline water and will be asked to sign a waiver. You will change clothes if needed and will be escorted to the “sweat room” where you'll find individual partitioned areas, each with infrared blankets, flat screen tv's, and light therapy. While you recline, you can choose what to do during your sweat... watch Netflix, Ted Talks, Hulu Plus, HBO or dvd's of your favorite transformational leaders, listen to music, or just meditate quietly. Your entire body except your head is wrapped in a metallic looking blanket that resembles a sleeping bag. The sweat lasts 55 minutes. A staff member checks on you periodically. Or you can call someone at the push of a button. They bring water or cold towels, as you need it. At the end of your session, a staff member helps you out of the blanket and your sweat is done.   back

Is sweating at Shape House similar to a workout?
In a 55 minute sweat, the heart receives a workout similar to a 10-mile run and the body perspires the same amount as a 12-mile run (or more with a Hyper Sweat Suit). Sweat Therapy is ideal for those who do not go to the gym. It is also used by athletes with non-acute injuries who can't workout for a period of time.   back

Do we burn calories when we sweat?
Absolutely. What your body needs to do to cool down from infrared heat induced sweat is in itself burning calories. At the end of your sweat, your heart will have accelerated like it would after a good run.   back

What is Infrared Heat?
​Far Infrared, aka FIR, is similar to the heat that comes from the sun. You can’t see it, but you can feel its heat. But Infrared energy is very different than ultraviolet light (UV) which causes sunburn and damage to your skin. Infrared heat is within the same frequency as your own body heat.  It is healthy, natural and a safe therapy. Infrared heat allows uniform deep heat penetration that is highly effective as a source of healing.   back

How long is a sweat at Shape House?
You will be in the infrared bed for 55 minutes. We recommend you arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time. We invite you to stay and relax after.   back

What should I wear when sweating at Shape House?
You will want to cover your skin. Cotton sweat pants. Long sleeve t-shirt. Socks. Depending on what you will be doing afterwards, you may bring a change of clothes. Chances are you will be drenched from your sweat. You might also want to try a PVC Hyper Sweat Suit to increase the amount of sweating. We have those available for sale in our shop.   back

If I am early, what do I do before my sweat?
You can wait in the Relax Room and prepare for your sweat. Declare and write what your intentions are if seeking a more classic Sweat Lodge experience. You can journal your thoughts. Drink alkaline water. Chat with someone.   back

What should I eat before I sweat?
Eat light and drink water. Salads or fruits before your sweat will feel best. Drink water. And drink more water.   back

Why do you serve Kangen Alkaline water only?
Alkaline water, just like alkaline foods are healthy for our bodies. This is not the only, or even the main reason we serve Kangen water. In the process of producing the water, which we do at each Shape House, the molecular clusters are subtly altered. Large clusters of H2O molecules are broken into smaller clusters, or "micro clusters". This allows for a greater degree of penetration into the cells of our bodies... we become hydrated more quickly and deeply.   back

What do I do after I sweat at Shape House?
You can rest in our Relax Room. Strike up a conversation with a fewllow sweater. Take a shower. Drink some water. Or some delicious tea. Stretch your body. Read or write. Catch up on emails. Map out your today. Dream or do nothing.   back

​

Is it important to drink water?
We recommend drinking 2-3 8oz. glasses of water before a sweat. Staying hydrated is the name of the game here. Easier and more efficient sweat. We provide Kangen alkaline water while you sweat. It helps your body eliminate toxins and withstand the heat. In the 24 hours following your sweat, we recommend drinking one gallon of water to assist your kidneys releasing toxins. If you are in the hood, bring a container as often as you would like. We will refill with alkaline water.   back

How often can I sweat at Shape House?
It is recommended to sweat three times a week. For those with a very active lifestyle, it can be done every other day. Some people do it every day as part of a cleansing protocol for a determined period of time and with a commitment to drinking a lot of water. For weight-loss, a sweat every 48 hours is recommended. Any sweating is better than no sweating. As often as it feels good to you is the way to go.   back

How should I expect to feel after my sweat?
It depends on the level of toxins in your body. After the first or second sweat, you may feel tired as your body is working hard to release the toxins. Once you are detoxed your day's are super energized and you nights full of refreshing sleep.   back

How do you keep the beds clean?
We wipe every bed thoroughly with hospital-grade germicidal cleaner between treatments. You lie in a disposable compostable sheet that gets changed after

each session.   back

Your website also mentions lymphatic therapy, what is that?
This treatment is of great support to the lymphatic system, which is in charge of our immune system. The lymphatic system carries bacteria, viruses, and even mutated cells away from healthy tissue and flushes it out of the body. When the lymphatic system is tired or not flowing properly, bacteria and viruses sit in the body and don’t have a way out. It is a very complementary therapy to detox sweating.   back

What does a lymphatic treatment look and feel like?
The feeling is very similar to the experience when you get your blood pressure measured at the doctor’s office. For your entire body. You slip into a suit that is connected to a device. It pressures and releases different parts of your body. The feeling is actually very nurturing.   back

​
How long is a lymphatic therapy?
55 minutes. If done with a sweat, you will be in treatment for 2 hours.   back

When is it NOT recommended to use Sweat Therapy?

       temperature. (ask your doctor if you have a chronic condition)
