Commercial 485 Infrared Sauna: Built for Clinics, Spas, and Heavy Daily Use
The Commercial 485 is a 1-person infrared sauna engineered for commercial environments. It's built to survive what residential saunas can't: 15 hours of daily use, 365 days a year, by clients who don't treat your equipment gently. The 2x4 fortified wood framing, 10X reinforced commercial-grade floors, and 3X hemlock wall construction make it practically indestructible. And it plugs into standard 120V outlets, so you don't need an electrician to add it to your facility.
Medical Saunas designed this for chiropractic clinics, physical therapy offices, day spas, wellness centers, med spas, and gym recovery rooms. It's the entry-level commercial model: compact enough to fit in a treatment room, tough enough to run all day, and backed by 48 doctors for the clinical credibility your business needs.
120V plug-in. No electrician needed. The Commercial 485 runs on two standard 120V/15A outlets. Plug it in and it's operational. No 220V circuit, no electrician, no waiting. This is the fastest commercial sauna to get running in your facility.

Built for Commercial Abuse: What Makes This Different from Residential
Residential saunas break in commercial settings. Medical Saunas designed the Commercial Series from the ground up for heavy daily use. Here's what's different:
2x4 fortified wood framing (residential uses 1x2). The structural frame is commercial-grade lumber. Walls, ceiling, and floor joists are 2x4, not the thin 1x2 framing found in home saunas. This is the same framing approach used in building construction.
10X reinforced commercial floors. In residential saunas, floor support beams sit every 10 inches. In the Commercial 485, structural wood runs every 1 inch. That's 10 times more material underfoot. Commercial clients step in and out hundreds of times per week. The floor has to take it.
3X hemlock walls. Triple-layered wall construction for thermal stability and impact resistance. Residential saunas use single-layer panels.
Heat-resistant commercial speakers and lights. Standard sauna speakers crack and reading lights flicker after weeks of all-day commercial use. The Commercial 485 uses heat-rated components built for 8+ hours of continuous daily operation without failure.
31″ chrome easy-clean handle with washable cover. A commercial sauna handle gets touched by dozens of clients daily. The oversized chrome handle is easy to grip and the washable medical-grade cover maintains hygiene between sessions.
Oxygen Ion Sanitation System™. Continuously clears dust, bacteria, pollen, and allergens from the air while the sauna runs. Critical in commercial settings where multiple clients use the unit back-to-back.
Dual control panels. One inside, one outside. Staff can monitor and adjust temperature from outside without opening the door and losing heat. This is essential for clinic and spa workflows where staff manage client sessions.
Who Is the Commercial 485 For?
- Chiropractic clinics adding infrared therapy as a pre-treatment or standalone service
- Physical therapy offices using infrared for muscle recovery and pain management
- Day spas and med spas offering infrared sessions as a premium wellness add-on
- Wellness centers and recovery studios running high-volume individual sessions
- Gyms and fitness clubs adding recovery amenities to member offerings
- Boutique hotels and luxury Airbnbs providing in-room or amenity sauna access
- Home buyers who want commercial-grade durability for personal use
Need multi-person capacity? The Commercial 486 seats 2 people. The 487 seats 3, and the 488 seats 4-5. All share the same commercial construction standards.
120V Plug-In: No Electrician, No Downtime
The Commercial 485 runs on two standard 120V/15A outlets. No 220V circuit. No electrician. No permit. No waiting. Plug it in, clip it together with the tool-free assembly, and your first client can use it the same day it arrives. For clinics and spas adding sauna services for the first time, this eliminates the biggest installation barrier.
Compare that to the Traditional Series (all 220V hardwired), the Nature 7-8 Plus (220V hardwired), or competitor commercial saunas that often require dedicated circuits. The Commercial 485 runs on the same outlets your office already has.
Endorsed by 48 Doctors, Tested by 40+ Clinicians
The Commercial Series was developed with input from 48 medical professionals: doctors, cardiologists, pain specialists, nurse practitioners, and surgeons. It was tested by over 40 physical therapists and chiropractors in clinical settings. This gives your business a credibility advantage that generic commercial saunas can't match. Display the doctor endorsements in your waiting room. Reference the clinical backing in your marketing. Your clients expect evidence-based wellness, and this delivers it.
Commercial 485 vs Medical 3: Why Commercial Grade Matters
Both are 1-person infrared saunas on 120V. The difference is construction:
Commercial 485: 2x4 fortified framing, 10X reinforced floors, 3X walls, commercial speakers/lights, dual control panels, Oxygen Ion Sanitation, 31″ backrest, washable handle cover. Built for 15 hours/day, 365 days/year. 7 heaters at 2,200W. Designed for paying clients.
Medical 3: Standard residential construction. 6 heaters at 1,500W. Single control panel. Standard backrest. Built for personal home use by one owner. Not rated for commercial use.
If clients are using it, you need commercial construction. Floors, framing, and components rated for daily abuse by people who don't own the equipment.
Adding infrared sauna services to your clinic, spa, or gym?
The Commercial 485 is the most compact commercial model. It fits in a treatment room, plugs into standard outlets, and runs back-to-back client sessions all day. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing, multi-unit orders, and dedicated B2B support for commercial buyers.

Commercial 485 Infrared Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Commercial 485 require an electrician?
No. The Commercial 485 plugs into two standard 120V/15A outlets. No 220V circuit, no electrician, no permit. It runs on the same outlets your office or clinic already has. This makes it the fastest commercial sauna to install and get operational.
What makes the Commercial 485 different from a residential sauna?
Commercial construction. The Commercial 485 uses 2x4 fortified wood framing (residential uses 1x2), 10X reinforced floors with structural wood every 1 inch (residential uses every 10 inches), 3X triple-layered hemlock walls, heat-resistant commercial speakers and lights, dual control panels, and an Oxygen Ion Sanitation System. It is rated for 15 hours of daily use, 365 days a year. Residential saunas are not built for this level of abuse.
Is the Commercial 485 good for a chiropractic clinic?
Yes. The Commercial 485 was tested by 40+ physical therapists and chiropractors. Its 1-person capacity is ideal for individual patient sessions. The 120V plug-in means no construction work in your clinic. The dual control panels let staff manage sessions from outside. The Oxygen Ion Sanitation System maintains air quality between patients. And the 48-doctor endorsement gives your clinic clinical credibility when marketing infrared therapy services.
How much does a commercial infrared sauna cost?
The Commercial 485 is the entry-level model in the Medical Saunas Commercial Series. Check the current sale price above. The series scales from the 1-person 485 to the 4-5 person 488, with prices increasing as capacity and features grow. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing for multi-unit commercial orders. Call 866-861-6317 for a custom quote.
Can the Commercial 485 be used in a day spa?
Yes. The Commercial 485 is popular with day spas offering infrared sessions as a premium wellness add-on. The compact footprint (48 x 42 inches exterior) fits in most treatment rooms. The Soaring Sauna Ceiling design accommodates clients up to 6 feet 8 inches. The dual control panels let staff adjust settings without disturbing the client. The washable handle cover and Oxygen Ion Sanitation maintain hygiene between sessions.
What is the Oxygen Ion Sanitation System?
A built-in air purification system that runs continuously when the sauna is on. It clears dust, bacteria, pollen, and allergens from the cabin air. This is critical in commercial settings where multiple clients use the sauna throughout the day. The system operates automatically with no maintenance required.
What are the dual control panels for?
The Commercial 485 has one control panel inside the cabin and one outside. The exterior panel lets staff monitor temperature, adjust settings, and manage the auto shut-off timer without opening the door and losing heat. This is essential for clinic and spa workflows where staff manage client sessions remotely.
How much space do I need for the Commercial 485?
The exterior is 48 x 42 inches (4 x 3.5 feet) and 81 inches tall (6.75 feet). This is the most compact model in the Commercial Series. It fits in most treatment rooms, therapy rooms, recovery corners, and private wellness suites. You need two 120V outlets within cord reach and a floor that supports approximately 352 lbs plus the client.
Is the Commercial 485 a steam sauna or infrared?
Infrared only. The Commercial 485 uses 7 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters that emit near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. It does not produce steam. For a commercial-grade steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Can I use the Commercial 485 at home?
Yes. Many buyers purchase the Commercial 485 for home use specifically because they want commercial-grade durability. It plugs into standard 120V outlets and assembles with no tools. If you want a sauna that's built to last decades of daily use even at home, the commercial construction is worth the investment over residential models.
Who Is the Commercial 485 Best For?
Chiropractic Clinics and PT Offices
Single-client infrared sessions between adjustments. Compact footprint fits an exam room or dedicated recovery space. 120V setup means no electrician and no rewiring.
Med Spas Adding Recovery Services
Offer single-client infrared therapy alongside existing treatments. Drop it into any treatment room with a standard outlet. Start generating session revenue on day one.
Boutique Gyms and Personal Training Studios
Post-workout recovery as a paid add-on for one client at a time. Add a revenue stream without expanding your square footage or electrical panel.
Wellness Centers and Holistic Practices
Infrared therapy as a standalone service or complement to massage, acupuncture, or functional medicine. Walk-in ready with minimal setup time.
Not ideal for multi-person group sessions, high-volume gym floors, or ADA-required facilities. For groups of 3+, look at the Commercial 487 or larger.

Commercial 485 Infrared Sauna: Built for Clinics, Spas, and Heavy Daily Use
The Commercial 485 is a 1-person infrared sauna engineered for commercial environments. It's built to survive what residential saunas can't: 15 hours of daily use, 365 days a year, by clients who don't treat your equipment gently. The 2x4 fortified wood framing, 10X reinforced commercial-grade floors, and 3X hemlock wall construction make it practically indestructible. And it plugs into standard 120V outlets, so you don't need an electrician to add it to your facility.
Medical Saunas designed this for chiropractic clinics, physical therapy offices, day spas, wellness centers, med spas, and gym recovery rooms. It's the entry-level commercial model: compact enough to fit in a treatment room, tough enough to run all day, and backed by 48 doctors for the clinical credibility your business needs.
120V plug-in. No electrician needed. The Commercial 485 runs on two standard 120V/15A outlets. Plug it in and it's operational. No 220V circuit, no electrician, no waiting. This is the fastest commercial sauna to get running in your facility.

Built for Commercial Abuse: What Makes This Different from Residential
Residential saunas break in commercial settings. Medical Saunas designed the Commercial Series from the ground up for heavy daily use. Here's what's different:
2x4 fortified wood framing (residential uses 1x2). The structural frame is commercial-grade lumber. Walls, ceiling, and floor joists are 2x4, not the thin 1x2 framing found in home saunas. This is the same framing approach used in building construction.
10X reinforced commercial floors. In residential saunas, floor support beams sit every 10 inches. In the Commercial 485, structural wood runs every 1 inch. That's 10 times more material underfoot. Commercial clients step in and out hundreds of times per week. The floor has to take it.
3X hemlock walls. Triple-layered wall construction for thermal stability and impact resistance. Residential saunas use single-layer panels.
Heat-resistant commercial speakers and lights. Standard sauna speakers crack and reading lights flicker after weeks of all-day commercial use. The Commercial 485 uses heat-rated components built for 8+ hours of continuous daily operation without failure.
31″ chrome easy-clean handle with washable cover. A commercial sauna handle gets touched by dozens of clients daily. The oversized chrome handle is easy to grip and the washable medical-grade cover maintains hygiene between sessions.
Oxygen Ion Sanitation System™. Continuously clears dust, bacteria, pollen, and allergens from the air while the sauna runs. Critical in commercial settings where multiple clients use the unit back-to-back.
Dual control panels. One inside, one outside. Staff can monitor and adjust temperature from outside without opening the door and losing heat. This is essential for clinic and spa workflows where staff manage client sessions.
Who Is the Commercial 485 For?
- Chiropractic clinics adding infrared therapy as a pre-treatment or standalone service
- Physical therapy offices using infrared for muscle recovery and pain management
- Day spas and med spas offering infrared sessions as a premium wellness add-on
- Wellness centers and recovery studios running high-volume individual sessions
- Gyms and fitness clubs adding recovery amenities to member offerings
- Boutique hotels and luxury Airbnbs providing in-room or amenity sauna access
- Home buyers who want commercial-grade durability for personal use
Need multi-person capacity? The Commercial 486 seats 2 people. The 487 seats 3, and the 488 seats 4-5. All share the same commercial construction standards.
120V Plug-In: No Electrician, No Downtime
The Commercial 485 runs on two standard 120V/15A outlets. No 220V circuit. No electrician. No permit. No waiting. Plug it in, clip it together with the tool-free assembly, and your first client can use it the same day it arrives. For clinics and spas adding sauna services for the first time, this eliminates the biggest installation barrier.
Compare that to the Traditional Series (all 220V hardwired), the Nature 7-8 Plus (220V hardwired), or competitor commercial saunas that often require dedicated circuits. The Commercial 485 runs on the same outlets your office already has.
Endorsed by 48 Doctors, Tested by 40+ Clinicians
The Commercial Series was developed with input from 48 medical professionals: doctors, cardiologists, pain specialists, nurse practitioners, and surgeons. It was tested by over 40 physical therapists and chiropractors in clinical settings. This gives your business a credibility advantage that generic commercial saunas can't match. Display the doctor endorsements in your waiting room. Reference the clinical backing in your marketing. Your clients expect evidence-based wellness, and this delivers it.
Commercial 485 vs Medical 3: Why Commercial Grade Matters
Both are 1-person infrared saunas on 120V. The difference is construction:
Commercial 485: 2x4 fortified framing, 10X reinforced floors, 3X walls, commercial speakers/lights, dual control panels, Oxygen Ion Sanitation, 31″ backrest, washable handle cover. Built for 15 hours/day, 365 days/year. 7 heaters at 2,200W. Designed for paying clients.
Medical 3: Standard residential construction. 6 heaters at 1,500W. Single control panel. Standard backrest. Built for personal home use by one owner. Not rated for commercial use.
If clients are using it, you need commercial construction. Floors, framing, and components rated for daily abuse by people who don't own the equipment.
Adding infrared sauna services to your clinic, spa, or gym?
The Commercial 485 is the most compact commercial model. It fits in a treatment room, plugs into standard outlets, and runs back-to-back client sessions all day. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing, multi-unit orders, and dedicated B2B support for commercial buyers.
Call 866-861-6317 or email info@recovathlete.com for a commercial quote.

Commercial 485 Infrared Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Commercial 485 require an electrician?
No. The Commercial 485 plugs into two standard 120V/15A outlets. No 220V circuit, no electrician, no permit. It runs on the same outlets your office or clinic already has. This makes it the fastest commercial sauna to install and get operational.
What makes the Commercial 485 different from a residential sauna?
Commercial construction. The Commercial 485 uses 2x4 fortified wood framing (residential uses 1x2), 10X reinforced floors with structural wood every 1 inch (residential uses every 10 inches), 3X triple-layered hemlock walls, heat-resistant commercial speakers and lights, dual control panels, and an Oxygen Ion Sanitation System. It is rated for 15 hours of daily use, 365 days a year. Residential saunas are not built for this level of abuse.
Is the Commercial 485 good for a chiropractic clinic?
Yes. The Commercial 485 was tested by 40+ physical therapists and chiropractors. Its 1-person capacity is ideal for individual patient sessions. The 120V plug-in means no construction work in your clinic. The dual control panels let staff manage sessions from outside. The Oxygen Ion Sanitation System maintains air quality between patients. And the 48-doctor endorsement gives your clinic clinical credibility when marketing infrared therapy services.
How much does a commercial infrared sauna cost?
The Commercial 485 is the entry-level model in the Medical Saunas Commercial Series. Check the current sale price above. The series scales from the 1-person 485 to the 4-5 person 488, with prices increasing as capacity and features grow. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing for multi-unit commercial orders. Call 866-861-6317 for a custom quote.
Can the Commercial 485 be used in a day spa?
Yes. The Commercial 485 is popular with day spas offering infrared sessions as a premium wellness add-on. The compact footprint (48 x 42 inches exterior) fits in most treatment rooms. The Soaring Sauna Ceiling design accommodates clients up to 6 feet 8 inches. The dual control panels let staff adjust settings without disturbing the client. The washable handle cover and Oxygen Ion Sanitation maintain hygiene between sessions.
What is the Oxygen Ion Sanitation System?
A built-in air purification system that runs continuously when the sauna is on. It clears dust, bacteria, pollen, and allergens from the cabin air. This is critical in commercial settings where multiple clients use the sauna throughout the day. The system operates automatically with no maintenance required.
What are the dual control panels for?
The Commercial 485 has one control panel inside the cabin and one outside. The exterior panel lets staff monitor temperature, adjust settings, and manage the auto shut-off timer without opening the door and losing heat. This is essential for clinic and spa workflows where staff manage client sessions remotely.
How much space do I need for the Commercial 485?
The exterior is 48 x 42 inches (4 x 3.5 feet) and 81 inches tall (6.75 feet). This is the most compact model in the Commercial Series. It fits in most treatment rooms, therapy rooms, recovery corners, and private wellness suites. You need two 120V outlets within cord reach and a floor that supports approximately 352 lbs plus the client.
Is the Commercial 485 a steam sauna or infrared?
Infrared only. The Commercial 485 uses 7 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters that emit near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. It does not produce steam. For a commercial-grade steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Can I use the Commercial 485 at home?
Yes. Many buyers purchase the Commercial 485 for home use specifically because they want commercial-grade durability. It plugs into standard 120V outlets and assembles with no tools. If you want a sauna that's built to last decades of daily use even at home, the commercial construction is worth the investment over residential models.
Who Is the Commercial 485 Best For?
Chiropractic Clinics and PT Offices
Single-client infrared sessions between adjustments. Compact footprint fits an exam room or dedicated recovery space. 120V setup means no electrician and no rewiring.
Med Spas Adding Recovery Services
Offer single-client infrared therapy alongside existing treatments. Drop it into any treatment room with a standard outlet. Start generating session revenue on day one.
Boutique Gyms and Personal Training Studios
Post-workout recovery as a paid add-on for one client at a time. Add a revenue stream without expanding your square footage or electrical panel.
Wellness Centers and Holistic Practices
Infrared therapy as a standalone service or complement to massage, acupuncture, or functional medicine. Walk-in ready with minimal setup time.
Not ideal for multi-person group sessions, high-volume gym floors, or ADA-required facilities. For groups of 3+, look at the Commercial 487 or larger.

Oxygen Ion Sanitation System™. Continuously clears dust, bacteria, pollen, and allergens from the air while the sauna runs. Critical in commercial settings where multiple clients use the unit back-to-back.
Dual control panels. One inside, one outside. Staff can monitor and adjust temperature from outside without opening the door and losing heat. This is essential for clinic and spa workflows where staff manage client sessions.
Who Is the Commercial 485 For?
- Chiropractic clinics adding infrared therapy as a pre-treatment or standalone service
- Physical therapy offices using infrared for muscle recovery and pain management
- Day spas and med spas offering infrared sessions as a premium wellness add-on
- Wellness centers and recovery studios running high-volume individual sessions
- Gyms and fitness clubs adding recovery amenities to member offerings
- Boutique hotels and luxury Airbnbs providing in-room or amenity sauna access
- Home buyers who want commercial-grade durability for personal use
Need multi-person capacity? The Commercial 486 seats 2 people. The 487 seats 3, and the 488 seats 4-5. All share the same commercial construction standards.
120V Plug-In: No Electrician, No Downtime
The Commercial 485 runs on two standard 120V/15A outlets. No 220V circuit. No electrician. No permit. No waiting. Plug it in, clip it together with the tool-free assembly, and your first client can use it the same day it arrives. For clinics and spas adding sauna services for the first time, this eliminates the biggest installation barrier.
Compare that to the Traditional Series (all 220V hardwired), the Nature 7-8 Plus (220V hardwired), or competitor commercial saunas that often require dedicated circuits. The Commercial 485 runs on the same outlets your office already has.
Endorsed by 48 Doctors, Tested by 40+ Clinicians
The Commercial Series was developed with input from 48 medical professionals: doctors, cardiologists, pain specialists, nurse practitioners, and surgeons. It was tested by over 40 physical therapists and chiropractors in clinical settings. This gives your business a credibility advantage that generic commercial saunas can't match. Display the doctor endorsements in your waiting room. Reference the clinical backing in your marketing. Your clients expect evidence-based wellness, and this delivers it.
Commercial 485 vs Medical 3: Why Commercial Grade Matters
Both are 1-person infrared saunas on 120V. The difference is construction:
Commercial 485: 2x4 fortified framing, 10X reinforced floors, 3X walls, commercial speakers/lights, dual control panels, Oxygen Ion Sanitation, 31″ backrest, washable handle cover. Built for 15 hours/day, 365 days/year. 7 heaters at 2,200W. Designed for paying clients.
Medical 3: Standard residential construction. 6 heaters at 1,500W. Single control panel. Standard backrest. Built for personal home use by one owner. Not rated for commercial use.
If clients are using it, you need commercial construction. Floors, framing, and components rated for daily abuse by people who don't own the equipment.

Commercial 485 Infrared Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Commercial 485 require an electrician?
No. The Commercial 485 plugs into two standard 120V/15A outlets. No 220V circuit, no electrician, no permit. It runs on the same outlets your office or clinic already has. This makes it the fastest commercial sauna to install and get operational.
What makes the Commercial 485 different from a residential sauna?
Commercial construction. The Commercial 485 uses 2x4 fortified wood framing (residential uses 1x2), 10X reinforced floors with structural wood every 1 inch (residential uses every 10 inches), 3X triple-layered hemlock walls, heat-resistant commercial speakers and lights, dual control panels, and an Oxygen Ion Sanitation System. It is rated for 15 hours of daily use, 365 days a year. Residential saunas are not built for this level of abuse.
Is the Commercial 485 good for a chiropractic clinic?
Yes. The Commercial 485 was tested by 40+ physical therapists and chiropractors. Its 1-person capacity is ideal for individual patient sessions. The 120V plug-in means no construction work in your clinic. The dual control panels let staff manage sessions from outside. The Oxygen Ion Sanitation System maintains air quality between patients. And the 48-doctor endorsement gives your clinic clinical credibility when marketing infrared therapy services.
How much does a commercial infrared sauna cost?
The Commercial 485 is the entry-level model in the Medical Saunas Commercial Series. Check the current sale price above. The series scales from the 1-person 485 to the 4-5 person 488, with prices increasing as capacity and features grow. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing for multi-unit commercial orders. Call 866-861-6317 for a custom quote.
Can the Commercial 485 be used in a day spa?
Yes. The Commercial 485 is popular with day spas offering infrared sessions as a premium wellness add-on. The compact footprint (48 x 42 inches exterior) fits in most treatment rooms. The Soaring Sauna Ceiling design accommodates clients up to 6 feet 8 inches. The dual control panels let staff adjust settings without disturbing the client. The washable handle cover and Oxygen Ion Sanitation maintain hygiene between sessions.
What is the Oxygen Ion Sanitation System?
A built-in air purification system that runs continuously when the sauna is on. It clears dust, bacteria, pollen, and allergens from the cabin air. This is critical in commercial settings where multiple clients use the sauna throughout the day. The system operates automatically with no maintenance required.
What are the dual control panels for?
The Commercial 485 has one control panel inside the cabin and one outside. The exterior panel lets staff monitor temperature, adjust settings, and manage the auto shut-off timer without opening the door and losing heat. This is essential for clinic and spa workflows where staff manage client sessions remotely.
How much space do I need for the Commercial 485?
The exterior is 48 x 42 inches (4 x 3.5 feet) and 81 inches tall (6.75 feet). This is the most compact model in the Commercial Series. It fits in most treatment rooms, therapy rooms, recovery corners, and private wellness suites. You need two 120V outlets within cord reach and a floor that supports approximately 352 lbs plus the client.
Is the Commercial 485 a steam sauna or infrared?
Infrared only. The Commercial 485 uses 7 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters that emit near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. It does not produce steam. For a commercial-grade steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Can I use the Commercial 485 at home?
Yes. Many buyers purchase the Commercial 485 for home use specifically because they want commercial-grade durability. It plugs into standard 120V outlets and assembles with no tools. If you want a sauna that's built to last decades of daily use even at home, the commercial construction is worth the investment over residential models.
Who Is the Commercial 485 Best For?
Chiropractic Clinics and PT Offices
Single-client infrared sessions between adjustments. Compact footprint fits an exam room or dedicated recovery space. 120V setup means no electrician and no rewiring.
Med Spas Adding Recovery Services
Offer single-client infrared therapy alongside existing treatments. Drop it into any treatment room with a standard outlet. Start generating session revenue on day one.
Boutique Gyms and Personal Training Studios
Post-workout recovery as a paid add-on for one client at a time. Add a revenue stream without expanding your square footage or electrical panel.
Wellness Centers and Holistic Practices
Infrared therapy as a standalone service or complement to massage, acupuncture, or functional medicine. Walk-in ready with minimal setup time.
Not ideal for multi-person group sessions, high-volume gym floors, or ADA-required facilities. For groups of 3+, look at the Commercial 487 or larger.

Built for Commercial Abuse: What Makes This Different from Residential
Residential saunas break in commercial settings. Medical Saunas designed the Commercial Series from the ground up for heavy daily use. Here's what's different:
2x4 fortified wood framing (residential uses 1x2). The structural frame is commercial-grade lumber. Walls, ceiling, and floor joists are 2x4, not the thin 1x2 framing found in home saunas. This is the same framing approach used in building construction.
10X reinforced commercial floors. In residential saunas, floor support beams sit every 10 inches. In the Commercial 485, structural wood runs every 1 inch. That's 10 times more material underfoot. Commercial clients step in and out hundreds of times per week. The floor has to take it.
3X hemlock walls. Triple-layered wall construction for thermal stability and impact resistance. Residential saunas use single-layer panels.
Heat-resistant commercial speakers and lights. Standard sauna speakers crack and reading lights flicker after weeks of all-day commercial use. The Commercial 485 uses heat-rated components built for 8+ hours of continuous daily operation without failure.
31″ chrome easy-clean handle with washable cover. A commercial sauna handle gets touched by dozens of clients daily. The oversized chrome handle is easy to grip and the washable medical-grade cover maintains hygiene between sessions.
Oxygen Ion Sanitation System™. Continuously clears dust, bacteria, pollen, and allergens from the air while the sauna runs. Critical in commercial settings where multiple clients use the unit back-to-back.
Dual control panels. One inside, one outside. Staff can monitor and adjust temperature from outside without opening the door and losing heat. This is essential for clinic and spa workflows where staff manage client sessions.

WARRANTY AT A GLANCE
- Duration: 3 years from date of receipt
- Coverage: Defects in materials and workmanship under residential use
- Parts: Covered under warranty
- Service / labor costs: Not included in the 3-year warranty
- Misuse or negligence: Not covered
- Who to contact: RecovAthlete — 866-861-6317
What the Warranty Covers
The Medical Breakthrough series of massage chairs are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under typical residential use for a period of three (3) years from the date of receipt by the original end-user consumer.
This is a parts warranty. Replacement parts for covered defects are provided at no charge during the warranty period. Service and labor costs are not included and would be charged separately if a technician visit is required.
What Is Not Covered
NOT COVERED:
- Damage caused by misuse or negligence
- Damage from commercial or non-residential use
- Normal wear over time
- Damage caused during customer-arranged delivery or setup
- Service and labor costs — these are billed separately regardless of warranty status
Who This Warranty Applies To
This warranty applies to the original end-user consumer purchasing for personal, residential use. It is non-transferable. Chairs used in commercial environments — health clubs, clinics, spas, or any multi-user setting — are not covered under the residential warranty terms. Contact us at 866-861-6317 before purchasing for commercial use to discuss coverage options.
How to Make a Warranty Claim
If your Medical Breakthrough massage chair develops a defect covered under warranty, follow these steps:
- Call RecovAthlete at 866-861-6317 to report the issue
- Our team will gather details and diagnose the problem — many issues are resolvable without a parts replacement
- If a covered part needs replacing, we will coordinate the claim and delivery of the replacement part
- If a technician visit is required, we will advise on the service cost before any work is arranged
IMPORTANT: SERVICE COSTS
The 3-year warranty covers the cost of replacement parts only. If a technician is needed to install parts or diagnose an issue on-site, those service and labor fees are billed separately and are not covered by the warranty. We will always provide a cost estimate before any technician work is scheduled.
