Looking for a new way to relax, recover and feel your best? Discover the Sunlighten Infrared Sauna with Red Light Therapy at Worthing Leisure Centre – the perfect place to unwind after a workout or enjoy some well deserved time for yourself.

As part of our exciting £2 million redevelopment, we have introduced a new approach to fitness and wellbeing at Worthing Leisure Centre. Alongside our state-of-the-art gym and innovative recovery facilities, our Sunlighten Infrared Sauna brings a whole new meaning to rest and recovery.

Whether you are a regular gym goer, a fitness enthusiast or simply looking for somewhere to switch off, this is your invitation to slow down, recharge and put your wellbeing first.

What Is an Infrared Sauna?

If you have experienced a traditional sauna before, you’ll notice something different about our Sunlighten Infrared Sauna.

Traditional saunas heat the air around you, often creating an intensely hot environment. Infrared saunas work differently, using infrared energy to warm your body more directly whilst operating at lower air temperatures.

The result? A comfortable, soothing warmth that makes it easier to settle in, unwind and enjoy a moment of calm.

Our Sunlighten sauna also features red light therapy, combining two technologies in one relaxing wellbeing experience.

The Benefits of Infrared Sauna and Red Light Therapy

There’s more to our infrared sauna than simply enjoying the warmth. Here are some of the potential benefits that make it a great addition to your fitness and wellbeing routine.

1. Relax and Unwind

Busy day? Tough workout? Sometimes you just need a moment to yourself.

The gentle infrared warmth creates a calming environment where you can switch off, release tension and enjoy a little peace and quiet.

2. Support Your Post-Workout Recovery

Recovery is just as important as your workout.

Infrared warmth may help soothe tired muscles, ease feelings of tension and support relaxation after exercise. Whether you have been lifting weights, attending a fitness class or completing a cardio session, it’s a relaxing way to finish your visit.

3. Encourage Healthy Circulation

As your body warms, blood flow naturally increases to help regulate your temperature.

This response is one reason many people enjoy heat-based relaxation as part of their wider wellbeing routine.

4. Give Your Skin Some TLC

Our Sunlighten sauna also incorporates red light therapy.

Research suggests that certain wavelengths of red light may support skin health and natural cellular processes, although results vary and further research is needed.

5. Make Time for Your Wellbeing

You don’t need to finish a workout to enjoy the sauna.

Sometimes the best reason to book a session is simply to take time out of a busy schedule, relax and focus on yourself.

Because feeling good isn’t just about moving more. It’s about making time to recover, too.
