White Glove Installation
From simple placement to full setup, we’ve got you covered.
For the ultimate hands-off experience, our White Glove Delivery includes full professional assembly, so your sauna is ready to use right away. Handled by our trained 2-person teams with a scheduled 4-hour appointment window and customer signature at delivery.
Our Room of Choice Delivery ensures your Solara is safely carried into your home (including stairs and apartments), placed exactly where you want it and unpacked —assembly not included.
Do I need Room of Choice Delivery if I live in an apartment or have stairs?
Yes. If your building has stairs or requires carrying the sauna beyond ground-level entry, Room of Choice Delivery is required to ensure safe handling.
What’s the difference between Room of Choice and White Glove Delivery?
Room of Choice includes delivery to the room of your choice, unpacking and placement. White Glove includes all of that plus full assembly, so your Solara is ready to use the same day.
VS
How long does the delivery service take?
Both services include up to 30 minutes of delivery time. White Glove assembly is completed within that window, so you can enjoy your sauna right away.
✓The shoulder, lower back, knee and elbow are the most injured areas across the weight-training sports.
✓43% of competitive powerlifters report problems during routine training.
✓Soreness after heavy or unfamiliar work peaks 24 to 48 hours later.
✓Heat after training supports recovery and supports sleep. It does not prevent injury.

Every lifter pictures the one that pops.
The bar that drops. The tear you hear. That is not what stops most lifters.
Across the weight-training sports, the shoulder, lower back, knee and elbow are the most commonly injured areas, and the most common injuries are strains, tendinitis and sprains. In 245 competitive and elite powerlifters, 43.3% reported problems during routine workouts, at about one injury per 1000 hours of training. In 71 competitive bodybuilders the figure was 45.1%. Almost half of the lifters in those groups were training through something.

A systematic review put the rate at 2.4 to 3.3 injuries per 1000 hours of training in weightlifting and 1.0 to 4.4 in powerlifting, with the spine, shoulder and knee the most common sites. The same review noted that almost nothing has been published on why it happens.
It rarely happens under the bar. It happens in the weeks around it.

It arrives as a niggle you train through, not as an event.

It's not an injury yet. That's the problem.
It is the Wednesday press that felt heavier than it should, because Monday's squats were still in your legs.
The last set you cut to three reps. The warm-up that took twice as long. The week your shoulder felt tight overhead, so you trained through it.

Nobody can tell you for certain why. A 2018 review of powerlifting injuries points at heavy loads, a large range of motion, not enough rest between sessions and technique that slips, and is careful to call them suggestions rather than findings. What is documented is that lifters over 40 get hurt more often in the upper body. None of it goes in your log. By the time it has a name, it has been there for a month.
03
A few minutes of stretching. A massage gun in a drawer.
You stretch your hips against the rack while the bar is still loaded. You bought the massage gun. You foam roll when something already hurts.
You sleep badly after a heavy session and train again the next morning.
That is not a criticism. It is what almost everyone does.
Your sessions have a time in your week. Recovery gets whatever is left over.
Everything you own for this already lives in a corner.

In a crossover trial, 16 male basketball players did a maximal strength and plyometric session, then either sat in an infrared sauna for twenty minutes or rested.
After the sauna their jump performance dropped less, their muscle soreness was less severe and they rated their own recovery higher. Sixteen people is a small study and it is the best one that exists on heat after lifting. Read it as a reason to try it, not as a promise.
This is not instead of training. It is the fifteen minutes after.

Where the heat actually goes.
A gym sauna heats the air around you. Full spectrum infrared warms your body directly, the quads, the back and the shoulders you just loaded.
Your heart rate climbs. Your blood vessels open. You sweat. In one lab study, heat that warmed the muscle itself raised blood flow in that muscle, while simply raising core temperature did not.

The bonus
The hardest part of red light therapy is standing in front of it.
You're already sitting down.
A panel costs three hundred to two thousand dollars on its own, and the protocol is standing still in front of it several times a week. Nobody does that after a heavy session. You will sit down after one.

A corner, or a closet.
About thirty minutes to put together. One person. No tools, nothing drilled, a regular household outlet. The Solara fits adults up to 6 foot 8 seated, and at 63 inches tall outside it clears a standard doorway.
I’m in it 4 to 5 nights a week, specifically after a decent lifting day. Sleep better, fall asleep faster, DOMS reduced. Pre-heating it for about 15 minutes is the key to getting it really hot.

Relatively easy to setup, it looks great in my basement home gym, and it’s HOT. The red-lights are a great added feature. I’ve been in many wooden infrared saunas that don’t feel this hot.

This was a good buy
From sitting in the saunas at the gym to finally being talked into buying the SaunaBox, I didn’t think it would be hot enough. I was wrong, I have not been able to use it at the hottest level yet. One down side, it is tight, not much room to move.
