Our Projects — Hot Studio Heating Project with Infrared Panels

A Professional Solution for High-Intensity Training Environments

We are proud of this project implemented in Latvia, where professional infrared heating, technical precision, and interior design come together to create a unified and sustainable solution for sports facilities with elevated performance requirements.

At the MyFitness sports club in Riga, located in the Galerija Centrs shopping mall, a professional Hot Studio group training room was created and fully heated using Sundirect infrared panels.

This project utilizes energy-efficient infrared heating for fitness centers and Hot Yoga studios, ensuring a stable microclimate and a high level of comfort during intensive training sessions.

📍 Project Overview

Hot Studio facilities impose significantly higher demands on heating systems than standard fitness centers. Not only high temperatures are required, but also consistent stability throughout the day.

Key Parameters:

✅ Area: ~180 m²

✅ Installed panels: 35 × IC-900 Plus (black)

✅ Operating temperature: +37…+38 °C

✅ Application: Hot Yoga, Pilates, intensive training

The installed infrared panels provide even heat distribution throughout the space, eliminating cold spots and localized overheating.

🌡️ Heating System Challenges in a Hot Studio Environment

In this type of facility, the heating system must operate continuously under high load without compromising efficiency or comfort.

Main Requirements:

• High temperature throughout the day

• Intensive space utilization

• Stable indoor climate

• Completely silent operation

• High system reliability

The heating solution is integrated with the ventilation system, ensuring high temperatures without excessive humidity or discomfort.

🔧 Why Choose Infrared Heating?

Most traditional heating systems in fitness and sports facilities rely on convection, heating circulating air.

This often results in:

• Warm air accumulating near the ceiling

• Uneven temperature distribution

• Increased heat losses through ventilation

• Reduced comfort during intensive workouts

Infrared heating works differently — it directly heats people, floors, and walls rather than only the air.

As a result:

🟧✓ Heat is used more efficiently

🟧✓ Temperature is more uniform

🟧✓ No “hot ceiling / cold floor” effect

🟧✓ Reduced energy losses

🟧✓ Improved overall comfort

For these reasons, infrared panels are particularly suitable for Hot Studio facilities with high temperatures and intensive use.

🎨 Design and Technology in One Integrated Solution

Special attention was also given to visual integration.

The black IC-900 Plus panels blend naturally into the architecture and do not dominate the interior. The heating system is seamlessly integrated, maintaining a clean and professional visual environment.

This is especially important in premium-class fitness studios, where customer experience is defined by both comfort and aesthetics.

⚙️ Technical Solution

The system was designed taking into account:

• Room volume and ceiling height

• Ventilation performance

• Visitor flow

• Daily load patterns

• Operating schedule

The solution provides:

✔ Rapid warm-up before sessions

✔ Stable performance throughout the day

✔ Minimal maintenance requirements

✔ Long service life

💆 Also Suitable for Massage and Therapy Rooms

This solution is equally suitable for massage, therapy, and relaxation rooms, where stable warmth and complete acoustic comfort are required.

It also enables the use of this technology in SPA centers, rehabilitation clinics, and private treatment rooms.

🏆 Conclusion

This project demonstrates that infrared heating for fitness facilities and Hot Studio environments is a reliable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective long-term solution.

A properly designed system ensures:

• Comfort for users,

• Operational stability for operators,

• Long-term sustainability.
