I love sitting in it, but I notice at my health club none of the fit people use it. Just the older and overweight people like myself!! :LOL: :LOL:

They make you sweat out your ‘water weight’ so you appear slimmer. But the minute you drink/eat again you’ll ‘gain’ it back.
Most people use it because it makes their skin feel nice !

It does make my face feel nice and smooth. It goes a bit bumpy if I don't use it for a few weeks! Although sweating from running would do the same?
 
Yes the only benefit from a sauna is that you sweat similar to running or any other exercise that makes you sweat :) - it doesn’t necessarily do anything for weight loss specifically although there’s such a thing as infrared saunas which penetrates the skin to directly stimulate the tissue and slowly burns fat.

sadly not a standard sauna though! :(

the heat from the sauna opens your pores up, and lets the moisture from the steam in... sweating running would dry you out as it’s salty sweat !
does that make any sense 😅
