Is red light therapy included with membership?

Yes. A Fig Performance membership includes red light therapy, vibration therapy, classes up to 2 to 3 times a week, a complimentary InBody scan and a one-time trainer consult.

Does red light therapy help with fat loss?

Don't count on it. The research on red light therapy for fat loss isn't strong. Fat loss after 40 comes from strength training, nutrition and consistency. We use red light as part of recovery.

Does red light therapy help muscle recovery?

Some studies show it may help with muscle soreness and recovery, but the evidence is still developing and results vary. We treat it as one helpful part of a recovery routine, not a cure.

Is red light therapy safe?

Red light therapy doesn't use UV light and is generally considered low risk. Don't stare into the panel, and check with your physician first if you're pregnant, sensitive to light, take light-sensitizing medication, or have an implanted medical device.

At Fig Performance, red light therapy is part of how you recover between training sessions. It's included with membership, built into the routine alongside vibration therapy, and set up so you can use it without a crowd or a wait.

What red light therapy is

Red light therapy uses a panel of LEDs that give off red and near-infrared light. You stand or sit in front of the panel for a short session. It doesn't use UV light, it isn't a tanning bed, and it doesn't feel like much beyond gentle warmth.

What the research says

Red light therapy is also called photobiomodulation. Researchers have studied it for muscle recovery, soreness and joint comfort, and some studies show promising results. The evidence is still developing, and results vary from person to person.

So we're straight with you: red light therapy is not a fat-loss tool and not a medical treatment. What changes your body after 40 is coached strength training, good nutrition and consistent recovery. Red light is one part of that recovery, not a replacement for it.

What a session is like

Who should check with a doctor first

Talk to your physician before using red light therapy if you're pregnant, have a light-sensitive condition, take medication that makes you sensitive to light, or have an implanted medical device. Red light therapy is offered for general wellness. It doesn't diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. See our health disclaimer for more.
