Heat & training

Why hot workouts are so beneficial for women

Training in warmth offers a wide range of benefits – physically, mentally and hormonally. Below, we explain why this holistic approach supports your body and mind so effectively.

Physical benefits: recovery, fat burning and cellular health

Muscle recovery and improved circulation
Heat dilates your blood vessels, which helps your muscles recover more quickly and improves mobility. It also benefits your connective tissue, allowing you to move deeper into stretches and reducing stiffness. This is especially helpful for early complaints or general tightness.

Cellular health and Heat Shock Proteins
Training in heat activates Heat Shock Proteins – protective proteins that help repair damaged cells, slow down aging, and support your metabolism. For women, whose bodies often fluctuate due to their cycle, pregnancy or menopause, this provides a natural internal boost.

Cardiovascular effect with low intensity
Even though our workouts are gentle by nature, the heat raises your heart rate. This creates a light yet effective cardiovascular effect without putting excessive strain on your body.

Increased calorie burn and metabolism
Your body burns more energy as it works to cool itself down. Even low-impact movement in a warm environment boosts your metabolism and accelerates fat burning.

Science-based
Studies on hot yoga, Pilates and heat acclimation show increased flexibility, heart rate and fat burn during moderate exercise in heat (Prevention, Nike, CSU, Springer, 2020–2024).

Mental benefits: calm, focus and emotional release

Deep relaxation and stress relief
Heat activates your parasympathetic nervous system – your body’s natural relaxation response. With your head outside the heat cabin, you stay clear and focused. Many women experience a deep mental calm after a hot session.

Increased body awareness
In the warmth, you naturally slow down. You move with more attention and better sense what your body needs. This presence on the mat helps release tension – physically and emotionally.
Research shows that training in warm environments, especially in calming practices like yoga, significantly reduces stress and anxiety (Prevention, 2023).

Hormonal balance and support

Menstrual and menopausal symptoms
Heat relaxes the muscles, eases abdominal cramps, and supports joint flexibility. It can also help ease menopausal complaints such as stiffness, restlessness or insomnia, bringing your body back into balance.

Metabolism and energy levels
Frequent exposure to heat improves your body’s ability to regulate temperature and respond to hormonal shifts. This supports your energy balance, fat burning and mental clarity.

Heat and menopause
Training in warmth can be highly supportive during menopause. Studies show that heat activates Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs), which protect your cells, reduce inflammation and stimulate fat metabolism.
Heat training improves circulation, lowers stress hormones like cortisol, and helps your body better cope with hormonal changes. It can also reduce bloating and speed up recovery.

Heat and pregnancy

We offer specific programs for each phase of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the heat is reduced or turned off completely. You can also choose to train without a cape.
Every woman experiences heat differently – it’s important to feel comfortable and avoid overheating. The cabin display allows you to adjust the temperature to your needs. Most women prefer around 30°C during pregnancy, but always listen to your body and choose what feels right for you.

Adjusting the heat

You can set the cabin temperature yourself using the display. Your body already experiences the benefits of heat training from 25°C onwards. The temperature can go up to a maximum of 46°C.
What matters most is that you listen to your body and choose what feels good for you.
