Infrared workouts at Joy In Movement combine the best elements of hot yoga and hot mat Pilates while introducing the added benefits of infrared heat. Each of these workout types offers unique advantages, but the inclusion of infrared technology takes your fitness experience to a new level.
Hot yoga and hot mat pilates heat the room with forced air. J.I.M uses infrared heat, which warms your body directly instead of heating the air around you. Same studio heat, completely different feel. Because infrared penetrates your muscles and joints, heating your body from the inside out, every J.I.M class gives you:
Pair all that with low impact interval workouts, and 30 minutes is all you need. Same heat. Working a whole lot harder for you.
At Joy In Movement, you can expect 30 minutes of low-impact movement, infrared warmth, and a whole lot of feed-good energy. From the moment you walk in, the studio is already warming up, calm, and welcoming. Find your mat (it’s reserved when you book), get comfortable, and let J.I.M take it from there. Every class follows the same three-part structure:
During and after your infrared class at J.I.M, you'll experience deeper sweating and detoxification, reduced muscle soreness and inflammation, improved circulation, better flexibility, and that post-session glow. You'll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and genuinely good.
Good news, you don’t need much. J.I.M keeps it simple.
A water bottle. Ideally a large insulated one. You’ll sweat more than you expect, so staying hydrated matters.
A full-length towel and a hand towel. The full-length goes on your mat, the hand towel is for during class. Microfibre works best in the heat.
Comfortable, breathable clothing. Fitted and moisture-wicking is the way to go. Think leggings, shorts, a tank top, or sports bra. Avoid heavy cotton, it holds sweat and gets uncomfortable fast.
A change of clothes. You’ll want one. Trust us.
J.I.M provides your mat and any props you’ll need (resistance bands, lightweights, pilates ring and ball). You don’t need to bring anything extra unless you want to.
A couple of things worth knowing before you arrive:
Every infrared workout class at Joy In Movement is 30 minutes. Combine infrared heat with low-impact interval training, and 30 minutes is genuinely all you need. A proper warm up, a solid main workout, and a calm cool down.
The infrared heat does the heavy lifting, warming your muscles faster from the inside out and deepening every move, so you get more from less time. A J.I.M class is the kind of workout that fits your life instead of taking it over.
Yes, infrared workouts can support weight loss goals by combining low-impact interval training with infrared heats, which raises your heart rate and metabolic activity, leading to greater calorie burn during and after class.
The more consistently you show up, the more your body adapts and builds lean muscle, which supports a healthy metabolism over time. Paired with regular movement and a balanced diet, J.I.M can absolutely help you reach your weight loss goals.
For optimal results, three infrared workout classes at Joy In Movement is the sweet spot.
Why three? Enough to feel the cumulative benefits of infrared heat. Better sleep, easier movement, more energy, and a body that recovers faster. Not so much that you burn out or skip recovery. It’s a rhythm that builds momentum without taking over your life.
