I Tried An Infrared Sauna in Houston

Houston has a new Infrared Sauna Spa! I was eager to give it a try and see what it was all about. If anyone is skeptical about any and everything, it’s me!

I had to get first hand details on this place. Read on more to hear my experience with the session.

I was recently invited out to a local infrared sauna in Houston, called The ShapeRoom. At first I was really skeptical because I’d never heard of anything like it before. I mean, this is the day and age of scams and quick fixes–so it was only right for me to be apprehensive.


“The moment that I stepped into the sauna spa, I felt a sense of calm overcoming me.”


The spa rests almost hidden in a low traffic area of Houston’s River Oaks District. The moment that I stepped into the sauna spa, I felt a sense of calm overcoming me. The ambiance was so tranquil, from the lighting, to the aroma, to the energy and the owner’s pleasant personality.

Elaina, the manager, gave me a tour of the infrared sauna spa and explained to me the process and benefits of the infrared body wrap. At this point, I felt reassured and ready to try it out!

My session started off with a a dry brushing over my torso. This exfoliates the skin, increases collagen production, and improves vascular blood circulation to the surface of the skin. This process helps diminish the appearance of cellulite.

After this, she applied her proprietary firming gel (ShapeUp). The gel firms and burns fat. Yes, you can go in and purchase a bottle for use in your home. She recommended using the gel under a sweat belt, waist trainer, faja or girdle for increased results.

She wrapped me up and then placed me in the infrared sauna bed. My skin felt very cool at first, but it quickly started to warm up. After all of that, I was ready to go under!

How Do You Prepare For Your Infrared Sauna Session?

You can prepare for your session by making sure you are adequately hydrated. Make sure you eat prior to your infrared sauna session, as infrared therapy increases your metabolism.

During my session, I had on a full face of makeup. Make sure you remove your makeup before getting on the table. If not, it just ends up sweating off. I brought an extra set of undies with me to put on after my post session shower.

How Will You Feel After The Infrared Sauna?

During my session, I was able to relax and reflect. It was so peaceful! After my session, I felt like I had just done a full on workout. I was literally drenched in sweat! It was such a relief to disrobe and jump into a cool shower, which they had at the spa.

It’s difficult to describe what I felt mentally. If you meditate, then you know the feeling… absolute clarity. I can definitely see myself coming here weekly. I think it’s also worthy to note that I lost 3 lbs.
