Do Sauna Suits Really Work?

Sweat more, lose more? We’re here to unlock the science about sauna suits and share some truths (and dispel a few months) about their effect.

Though serious athletes swear by the benefits sauna suits provide, this blog will tackle the question: do sauna suits work?

The Science Behind Sauna Suits

A sauna suit looks like a tight-fitting tracksuit, but its waterproof material is what helps trap body heat and increase sweat production. 

The advantage is increased sweating during your workouts, which may result in several benefits, such as:

  • Weight loss 
  • Improved circulation
  • Muscle relaxation

However, with these benefits also come potential risks, including:

  • Dehydration
  • Overheating
  • Skin irritation

It’s important to keep in mind that every person is different and what works for one person may not be as comfortable for another. 

It’s best to listen to your body and limitations when deciding if and when to wear a sauna suit.

What the Research Says

Sauna suits may seem like another trend in workout gear, but research shows how they’ve proven effective in maximizing exercise potential. 

For instance, there’s been reported evidence that wearing a sauna suit improves heat acclimation. This enhances endurance and performance due to a larger amount of sweat loss when compared to not wearing a sauna suit in the same conditions. 

There have also been reports that sauna suits are effective in losing weight. Though this is technically true, it shouldn’t be considered a long-term weight loss solution. Due to the increase in sweating a sauna suit induces, any weight loss is primarily water. 

This is beneficial for boxers and MMA fighters trying to make their weight class or complement a healthy diet and exercise regimen. However, there haven’t been any specific studies supporting sauna suits as a long-term weight loss or detoxification strategy.

Sauna Suits vs. Traditional Saunas: Which Is Better?

Though both sauna suits and traditional saunas are beneficial, their purposes and uses are completely different. 

A sauna suit is meant to be worn during physical workouts to boost internal temperature and induce sweating to improve circulation. Whereas, sitting in a heated sauna is meant to relax muscles and soothe aches and pains, typically post-workout. 

Though both are valuable, they aren’t both necessary to incorporate into your everyday workout routine. Alternate between the two and always limit your time wearing a sauna suit and sitting in a sauna, as overheating can cause potential health risks.

Choosing the Right Sauna Suits

Some athletes wear a full sauna suit while others opt for simply wearing a sauna shirt. Either way, you’ll want to focus on features, such as:

Material and Construction

Sauna suits are made with waterproof materials like neoprene or nylon which trap heat well yet easily move with the body. 

These types of materials are also durable enough to withstand tough training sessions without resulting in rips or tears in the material.

Fit and Comfort

Though sauna suits are intended to fit snugly, you don’t want them so tight it’s hard to breathe. 

Ensure a stretchy fit with enough ventilation to be able to safely cool down the body. There’s a thin line between intensifying heat and overheating, so comfort is key.

Style and Design

Find a style and design that speaks to your individual fight style. What you wear can be a motivation to stay consistent with your boxing training and spend quality time in the gym.
