How one Anytime Fitness franchisee rolled out saunas
Fitness · Anytime Fitness franchise
When Anytime Fitness cleared Sunlighten saunas for franchise owners in 2025, the Youngdales added a private mPulse Intelligent Sauna at each of their locations. Anytime Fitness Corporate requires each sauna to be in a private room, so Chris worked through access, door configuration and scheduling, then built unlimited use into a membership tier.

owner-installed, no specialist needed · Year 1: revenue right away; near full payback in year one · 10/10: owner's rating of sales and service
Members book in the app, the sauna preheats, and staff impact is minimal.
I would say do it. It puts you on the cutting edge of where the brand is going, and the value to your community sets you apart.
A short list to standardize on
Every sauna below uses patented SoloCarbon® heaters with 95-99% emissivity and ultra-low EMF. Amplify™RED and mPulse® both add red light therapy: Amplify™RED surrounds users with red and near-infrared light throughout the cabin, and mPulse® delivers each wavelength separately. Each cabin is double-wall constructed and insulated, and 20-30% heavier than comparable models.
Capacity: 2, 3 or 4 people
Light: Red light and near infrared integrated throughout the cabin, plus full-spectrum near, mid and far infrared
Heat: Up to 170°F in ideal conditions, with extra halogen heaters for faster warm-up
Power: 240V/20A dedicated circuit
Best for: Recovery rooms where members want red light and a deeper, faster sweat
Sunlighten infrared sauna
| Heat source | Infrared radiant heaters emit wavelengths that heat the body directly |
| Temperature range* | 100-170°F |
| Installation | Cabins plug into a dedicated circuit; no special ventilation |
| Maintenance | Low; easy to clean between members |
| Experience | Non-stifling heat can make for comfortable, enjoyable, stress-relieving sessions. |
| How heat works | The body absorbs infrared energy directly; the sauna's heat can also raise body temperature. |
Traditional sauna
| Heat source | A stove heats the air |
| Temperature range* | 160-200°F |
| Installation | Needs proper insulation and ventilation |
| Maintenance | Moderate; wood care and cleaning |
| Experience | The hotter, more intense air can feel stifling and uncomfortable, driving a hard, fast sweat and often shorter sessions. |
| How heat works | An electric or wood-fired heater heats the air, which transfers heat to the body and can raise body temperature. |
*Temperature in ideal conditions. Sunlighten's Sales Guide revenue model puts electricity at less than $300 a year.
