Great Spa Product: Clearlight® Wellness Innovations Sanctuary Studio

As the wellness industry embraces the growing “social wellness” and “third space” movement, spas and wellness businesses are reimagining how they create guest experiences. Today’s clients are looking for more than individual treatments — they want shared rituals, community connection, and memorable wellness experiences. The Clearlight® Wellness Innovations Sanctuary Studio is built for exactly that.
Why the Sanctuary Studio Stands Out
Clearlight’s largest infrared sauna model is intentionally designed for group wellness experiences and is made to order for commercial use only, making it ideal for spas, wellness clubs, athletic facilities, and recovery-focused businesses. Features include:
- Spacious interior built to accommodate larger groups comfortably
- Four removable commercial-grade solid wood benches for flexible layouts
- Accessibility-friendly design, including wheelchair access options
- Exclusive underfloor foot heater for enhanced thermal comfort
- Multi-functional use for group programming, recovery sessions, and wellness events
Why Social Sauna Is Trending
Infrared saunas are no longer viewed as just solo amenities — they’re becoming wellness gathering hubs that help operators:
- Increase guest dwell time within their business
- Create new group class and event opportunities
- Build stronger guest loyalty through shared experiences
- Capitalize on the fast-growing “daylife” trend centered on wellness and recovery
This shift is especially strong among younger demographics seeking communal, experience-driven self-care.
Real-World Success: Heroic Athletic Club
Heroic Athletic Club in San Diego, opening June 2026, has already installed two Sanctuary Studios and is seeing remarkable early traction:
- 1,500+ sauna uses logged before official opening
- Used extensively in private training and group exercise sessions
- Strong early feedback from both trainers and clients
As CEO Luke Jenson shares:
“The Sanctuary Studio has been our best investment so far… I’ve easily used the Clearlight Sanctuary Studio Saunas 1,500 times already for private training sessions as well as group exercise classes, and everyone loves them.”
A Smart Opportunity for Spa Operators
The Sanctuary Studio offers a chance to think beyond traditional treatment rooms and create a high-ROI communal wellness destination that supports:
- Group sauna experiences
- Recovery and movement programming
- Social wellness memberships
- New revenue-driving community events
