What is a renewal studio?

A traditional sauna studio is just that - a space dedicated primarily to various types of sauna. dtXfy is the only renewal studio on the East Coast where we combine the healing properties of infrared sauna, red light therapy and massage therapy. We believe that wellness is unique to you and your body, and a single approach will not always meet your various needs. We’ve done our research and this combined regimen of wellness services is what we believe will leave you feeling better than ever before. dtXfy is a sanctuary for those seeking relaxation and renewal and we’re so glad you’ve found us.

How should I prepare for my visit to dtXfy?

Come just as you are! Wear loose clothing. Makeup remover wipes are provided on site. One big directive? Please arrive well hydrated to reap the maximum benefit of three degrees.

Do you have showers on site?

dtXfy offers one shower on site, for the purpose of a quick rinse after your sweat session is through. Our restrooms do have a 15-minute time limit in place, to accommodate all of our fellow dtXfy’rs. Don't shower too soon though! Learn more about how to prepare for and recover from your session on our Membership page.

What should I wear to use the saunas, light therapy rooms and massage pods?

All of our spaces are for individual use, unless otherwise requested. This means you can go into the red light and sauna with little to no clothing, comfortably. We like to say, the more you bare, the more you benefit. Clothing during a treatment will impede the light’s ability to penetrate your skin.

 

After an infrared sauna or red light therapy session, we recommend loose, lightweight clothing. We all know how hard it is to pull on tight jeans when we’re covered in a layer of sweat.

 

Where massage is concerned, we only recommend that you avoid very bulky clothing so that there’s little friction between you and the rollers. Socks are required.

How old do you have to be to use the sauna and massage pods?

We like to say that wellness is for all, but currently our studio caters to the 18 and older crowd.

Can I bring a friend to join me in the sauna?

You certainly can! Our Standard Sauna can accommodate up to 2 people, while our Retreat Sauna can host up to 3 people comfortably. Our RL Sauna and Red Light Therapy room each accommodate one.

How often are your saunas and massage pods cleaned?

dtXfy believes that relaxation comes easier when the space around us is clean and tidy. Our saunas, infrared light therapy room and massage pods are all cleaned after every use. Not to mention, studies have shown that infrared light kills bacteria and viruses, which means our cleaning efforts may quite literally be doubled.

Is it OK to use infrared saunas and red light therapy every day?

That’s a resounding yes! Infrared saunas and red light therapy are both safe to use every day. In fact, you will see wellness improvements sooner if you use either or both on a daily basis.

 

We recommend sauna sessions of 30-45 minutes each, 3-4 times a week, as well as 3-5, 10 minute red light therapy sessions per week. While the more frequent the sessions the better, increasing the length of individual sessions typically does not increase effectiveness.

How long does it take for red light therapy or infrared sauna use to work?

Begins immediately, but more noticeable improvement typically comes after 8-12 weeks of consistent treatment.

What if I don't sweat?

It is fairly common not to sweat during an infrared sauna session. Some people do, some don’t, and both are entirely normal. In fact, everyone sweats differently, so the reason you’re not sweating may be entirely unique to you, i.e. how hydrated you are, your age, your body size, etc.

 

The most common reason for a lack of sweat? The simple difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna. Learn more in the FAQ below.

 

The short answer? You’re still benefiting from an infrared sauna session even if you don’t look like you just ran a 5K. Our advice is to give it time. Your body will likely adjust to the infrared heat over time.

What’s the difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna?

A traditional sauna works by heating the air around you, increasing the level of humidity and warming you from the outside, in. An infrared sauna emits a lower heat range, no humidity and works from the inside out. The slightly tacky, moist feel to your skin during and after a session is the release of toxins.

What can I bring with me inside of the sauna?

Each of our saunas is equipped with a heat safe box, perfect in size for storing your cell phone or tablet. Use our bluetooth speakers and enjoy a guided meditation or music while you unwind. Each of our sauna suites is also equipped with a television and streaming services, so you’ll have plenty of options whether you bring a device with you or not.

 

And while our saunas are amazing for you, your larger electronics like laptops may benefit from a cooler environment. Use of these items within the sauna is strictly at your own risk.

What if I am late for my session or have to cancel?

Please keep in mind that it is our top priority to honor and protect the time our dtXfy’rs set aside for their wellness. Our Late & Cancellation Policy ensures a well flowing schedule.

dtXfy adheres to a 12-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with less than 12-hours notice, you will be charged full price for your session. Members will be charged a $25 fee for late cancellations.

If you arrive late, please keep in mind that your session may be shortened or rescheduled to accommodate other appointments that follow yours. You will still be responsible for full payment. Members will be charged a $25 fee, if rescheduling is required. 

Will my unused membership sauna sessions roll over to the next month?

Yes, they will carry over to the following month.

Can I share monthly membership sessions with a friend or family member?

If you are a dtXfy member then you’ve purchased a discounted set of services and all sauna, light therapy and massage sessions are reserved exclusively for the account holder.

Is there a contract commitment with a dtXfy membership?

No. We understand that life happens. Invest in your wellness when it’s right for you. We only require 30-days cancellation notice. 

Is there parking available for dtXfy customers?

Absolutely. Please call your specific studio if you have questions regarding parking options.

Does your space accommodate people with disabilities?

dtXfy was built with everyone in mind and our hallways, bathrooms and Retreat Sauna are certified ADA compliant. If you are a dtXfy’r with unique needs please let our staff know ahead of time so they can ensure your reservation is made in the sauna best suited to your needs.

Do you provide towels and water?

In fact, we do! Every Sauna session comes with a complimentary carafe of reverse osmosis water, 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel and 1 cold eucalyptus wash cloth to cool down after your session.

What if I have a unique health condition? Is it still safe for me to use the saunas, red light therapy or massage pods?

Our saunas, red light therapy, and massage pods are safe to use. However, before beginning any new wellness regimen, you should seek the advice of your doctor or a medical professional.

What is chromatherapy?

Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Each color possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms. During your infrared sauna session, you can choose from 8 different colors, with each color addressing your individual needs.
