Clearlight is one of the best-known names in infrared saunas, and a Clearlight home sauna is a serious purchase. The smartest way to know whether you'll love one is to sit in one first. The good news: you probably live near a studio that runs them.
Two of the biggest sauna studio franchises in the country build their private suites around Clearlight saunas, according to Clearlight's own case studies. Contrast Therapy Finder lists every open location of both, plus independent studios that use Clearlight, so you can find one near you, check prices and hours, and book a session.
The Quick Answer
You can try a Clearlight infrared sauna at more than 213 studios in 33 states. The two largest networks are SWTHZ (SweatHouz), with 112 studios, and Perspire Sauna Studio, with 101. Both use Clearlight saunas in their private suites. Independent studios such as beem® Light Sauna Virginia Beach Town Center and ReVibe in Costa Mesa run Clearlights too. A single session usually costs less than a nice dinner out, which makes it an easy way to test-drive a sauna that costs thousands to buy.

The Two Big Clearlight Networks
SWTHZ (SweatHouz)
SWTHZ, the contrast therapy franchise also known as SweatHouz, runs private suites built around an infrared sauna and a cold plunge. In Clearlight's case study, SWTHZ explains that Clearlight's Full Spectrum Sanctuary saunas anchor the in-suite experience, so the sauna in its newest studio feels the same as the one in its flagship. We list all 112 open SWTHZ studios, each checked on Google Maps and linked to that studio's booking page. Start with SWTHZ South Boston, or find the closest one in the table above.
Perspire Sauna Studio
Perspire is a fast-growing infrared sauna franchise whose suites feature Clearlight saunas with chromotherapy and a glass-front design, according to Clearlight's Perspire case study, which describes the two companies' partnership as covering design, guidance and support for new markets. We list 101 Perspire studios, including Perspire Sauna Studio in Chandler.

What a Clearlight Session Is Like
Infrared saunas warm your body directly instead of heating the air, so they run cooler than a traditional sauna and feel gentler, which makes it easier to stay in longer. Studio sessions are usually private: you get the suite to yourself, set the music or a show, sweat for 30 to 45 minutes, and at contrast studios like SWTHZ you can go straight into a cold plunge. Not sure infrared is right for you? Our comparison of infrared vs. traditional sauna breaks it down, and what to bring covers the rest.
Try It, Then Decide on a Home Sauna
A few sessions will tell you what matters to you: how hot you like it, how much room you want, and whether you'll actually use it. If you fall for it, Clearlight's home saunas come in sizes from one person to five, plus outdoor models. Our guide to home contrast therapy setup costs shows what a full setup really runs, including power and installation.
