Infrared runs a different physiology to a Finnish room: radiant panels warm the body directly at 45–60°C rather than heating the air, which makes longer sessions accessible and suits recovery-focused routines. The venues on this cut are mostly urban studios with private cabins and bookable slots. Purists will tell you it isn't sauna — we list the ones that are good at what it actually is.
In NYC Metro, 3 of the curated saunas fit this cut. See the full NYC Metro region guide for every venue, or keep scrolling for just the infrared saunas.
