WHY HEAT WORKS
Heat is part of the experience at BLACKOUT, but it's never the whole point.
Our infrared heated studio creates an environment that encourages your body to work a little differently, helping you move, adapt and recover over time.
YOUR BODY ADAPTS
As your body warms up, your heart rate naturally increases and you begin to sweat. This is your body's normal cooling system at work.
With regular practice, your body becomes more efficient at regulating temperature and recovering from physical stress.
YOU MOVE MORE FREELY
The warmth increases blood flow and helps muscles and connective tissue become more pliable.
Many people find movement feels smoother, allowing them to develop strength, mobility and flexibility with greater comfort.
IT'S MORE THAN A WORKOUT
Practising in a heated environment increases the demand on your cardiovascular system compared with exercising in a cooler room.
Combined with purposeful movement, this creates a challenging, full-body workout.
MIND AND BODY
Heat naturally encourages you to become more aware of your breathing and how your body feels.
For many people, this creates a level of focus that's difficult to find elsewhere, leaving them feeling calmer, clearer and more present after class.
IS IT RIGHT FOR EVERYONE?
Heated exercise isn't suitable for everyone, which is why we ask all new members to complete a health questionnaire before attending.
If you have a medical condition or are unsure whether practising in the heat is appropriate for you, we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional before your first class.
The sweat is visible, yet the benefits go far beyond it.
