Product: Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna by Medical Saunas™
Type: Commercial-grade 3-person infrared sauna with Red Light Therapy
Capacity: 3 people
Price range: Check current sale price above
Key fact: The first commercial model built specifically for gyms and heavy-use facilities. 11 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters at 3,450W with 4D Surround Heat Therapy™ and Omni-Directional Heating™. Built-in Red Light Therapy and Chromatic Therapy System™. Gym-grade reinforced benches with double support. 2x4 fortified framing, 10X reinforced commercial floors, 3X hemlock walls. Requires 240V/20A (electrician needed). ~573 lbs. Endorsed by 48 doctors. Hand-assembled in Los Angeles, CA.
Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna: 3-Person, Gym-Grade with Red Light Therapy
The Commercial 487 is where the Commercial Series shifts from clinic-friendly to gym-ready. It seats 3 people, runs 11 full spectrum infrared heaters at 3,450W, and introduces features not found on the 485 or 486: built-in Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, Omni-Directional Heating, and gym-grade reinforced benches with double support. The supplier's own recommendation: "If you operate a gym, opt for the Commercial 487 model or higher."
This model also marks the jump from 120V to 240V. The Commercial 485 and 486 plug into standard outlets. The 487 requires a 240V/20A circuit installed by a licensed electrician. In exchange, you get 57% more heating power (3,450W vs 2,200W on the 485), a wider cabin, and the additional therapy systems that justify higher per-session pricing for your clients.
Electrical requirement: 240V/20A (electrician required). The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series that requires 240V. The 485 and 486 run on standard 120V outlets. The 487 needs a dedicated 240V/20A circuit installed by a licensed electrician. This is a standard dryer-type circuit. Typical installation cost: $300-$700. If you want to avoid 240V, the Commercial 486 is the largest model on 120V.

Commercial 487 vs 486: Five Features That Unlock at This Tier
The Commercial 487 carries everything the 486 has and adds five upgrades designed for gym and high-volume wellness environments:
Red Light Therapy (built-in) — Integrated red light panels for cellular rejuvenation, skin health, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue repair. This is an additional revenue stream for your facility: you can market infrared + red light combination therapy as a premium service. Not available on the 485 or 486.
Chromatic Therapy System™ — Color light therapy for mood regulation and mental wellness during sessions. Adds a visual component to the therapy experience that clients notice and value.
Omni-Directional Heating™ — Distributes heat with lower intensity around the feet and higher intensity around the back. Standard saunas heat evenly everywhere, which causes overheating in the lower extremities. Omni-directional cycling keeps sessions comfortable for longer periods.
Gym-grade reinforced benches (double support) — Standard commercial benches have support every 36 inches. The 487 has support every 12 inches, making benches 3X sturdier. Built for heavy gym users who sit down hard, shift weight constantly, and put real stress on seating surfaces.
11 heaters at 3,450W (vs 9 at 2,750W) — 25% more heating power with broader panel coverage across the wider 67″ cabin. Faster heat-up, denser infrared coverage per square inch.
The trade-off: 240V/20A electrical (the 485 and 486 run on 120V). If you want to stay on standard outlets, the Commercial 486 is the largest model on 120V.
Built-In Red Light Therapy: Two Therapies in One Session
The Commercial 487 combines infrared sauna therapy with built-in Red Light Therapy in a single cabin. Your clients get two modalities in one session without separate equipment. Infrared heaters warm the body from within while red light wavelengths target skin health, cellular regeneration, and tissue repair at the surface level.
For commercial facilities, this combination is a pricing advantage. A session that delivers both infrared and red light therapy commands a higher per-session rate than infrared alone. The red light panels are built into the cabin's design, require no maintenance, and operate automatically during sessions.
Built for Gyms: Why the 487 Is the Minimum for Fitness Facilities
Medical Saunas specifically designed the 487 for gym environments. Gym members are harder on equipment than spa clients or clinic patients. They sit down heavily, shift weight constantly, sweat more aggressively, and use the sauna immediately after intense workouts. The 487's gym-grade benches have structural support every 12 inches (3X the standard 36-inch spacing), the 10X reinforced floors absorb impact from heavy foot traffic, and the 3X hemlock walls handle the moisture from high-output sweating sessions.
The 3-person capacity also matters for gyms. Members expect to share recovery amenities. A 1-person unit creates a bottleneck during peak hours. Three seats at 67 inches wide keeps the line moving.
Who Is the Commercial 487 For?
- Gyms and fitness clubs adding recovery amenities (the supplier's recommended starting model for gyms)
- Wellness centers offering infrared + red light combination therapy
- Day spas and med spas running group infrared sessions
- Physical therapy offices treating multiple patients simultaneously
- Chiropractic clinics wanting red light therapy alongside infrared
- Community wellness facilities serving multiple users per hour
- Serious home buyers who want gym-grade construction and red light therapy
Don't need 3-person or 240V? The Commercial 486 seats 2 on 120V. Need 4-5 person capacity? The Commercial 488 is the flagship.

Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Commercial 487 require an electrician?
Yes. The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series that requires 240V. A licensed electrician must install a 240V/20A circuit. This is a standard dryer-type circuit. The Commercial 485 and 486 run on 120V without an electrician. Typical 240V installation cost: $300-$700.
What is the difference between the Commercial 486 and 487?
The 487 seats 3 (vs 2), has 11 heaters (vs 9), runs 3,450W (vs 2,750W), and adds five features not on the 486: Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, Omni-Directional Heating, gym-grade reinforced benches, and deep bench seating. The biggest practical change: the 487 requires 240V electrical (the 486 runs on 120V). Choose the 486 for 2-person on 120V. Choose the 487 for gyms, red light therapy, and 3-person capacity.
Is the Commercial 487 a medical grade infrared sauna?
The Commercial 487 is designed by 48 medical professionals, built to commercial construction standards, and includes Near Zero EMF Technology, 11 full spectrum infrared heaters, built-in Red Light Therapy, and an Oxygen Ion Sanitation System. While "medical grade" is not a regulated classification for saunas, the 487 is the closest commercially available option to clinical-grade infrared therapy equipment, with the added benefit of red light therapy in the same unit.
Does the Commercial 487 include Red Light Therapy?
Yes. The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series with built-in Red Light Therapy. Red light panels are integrated into the cabin and operate automatically during sessions. This delivers infrared and red light therapy simultaneously, targeting deep tissue with infrared and surface-level skin health and cellular regeneration with red light. The Commercial 485 and 486 do not have this feature.
Is the Commercial 487 suitable for a gym?
Yes. The supplier specifically recommends the Commercial 487 or higher for gym environments. It has gym-grade reinforced benches with structural support every 12 inches (3X standard spacing), 10X reinforced floors for heavy foot traffic, and 3X hemlock walls that handle aggressive sweating from post-workout sessions. The 3-person capacity keeps the line moving during peak hours.
What is Omni-Directional Heating?
Omni-Directional Heating distributes heat with lower intensity around the feet and higher intensity around the back. Standard saunas heat evenly everywhere, which causes overheating in the lower extremities and makes sessions uncomfortable over time. Omni-Directional cycling keeps the heat balanced so clients can stay in longer, which means more effective therapy per session.
How much space do I need for the Commercial 487?
The exterior is 71 x 42 inches (about 5.9 x 3.5 feet) and 83 inches tall (6.9 feet). You need a 240V/20A circuit within reach, a floor that supports approximately 573 lbs plus three occupants, and adequate ventilation. It fits in dedicated sauna rooms, large therapy rooms, gym recovery areas, and commercial wellness suites.
Is a community sauna a good business investment?
Yes. At $30-$60 per 30-minute session with 6-10 client slots per day, a 3-person commercial sauna can generate $5,000-$18,000 per month in revenue. The Commercial 487's built-in Red Light Therapy justifies higher per-session pricing than infrared-only units. The 48-doctor endorsement supports marketing credibility. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing for multi-unit orders. Call 866-861-6317 to discuss ROI projections for your facility.
Is the Commercial 487 a steam sauna?
No. The Commercial 487 is infrared only. It uses 11 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters plus Red Light Therapy. It does not produce steam. For a commercial steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Who Is the Commercial 487 Best For?
Gyms Adding Recovery as a Revenue Stream
3-person capacity handles small group sessions. Built-in red light therapy panels attract members looking for skin health and inflammation reduction alongside infrared.
Med Spas Offering Premium Infrared Packages
Red light + full spectrum infrared in one unit. Book group sessions at premium rates. 220V dedicated circuit delivers consistent commercial-grade heat all day.
Chiropractic Clinics Scaling Beyond Single-Client
Move from one patient at a time to three recovering simultaneously. Triple the revenue per hour from the same floor space.
Sports Performance and Recovery Centers
Athletes recovering post-training in small groups. Red light therapy for muscle recovery and inflammation reduction. Gym-grade 2x4 framing and 10x reinforced floors handle daily abuse.
Not ideal for very high-traffic facilities needing 5+ person capacity or full ADA wheelchair compliance. For larger groups, see the Commercial 488 or 489.

Product: Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna by Medical Saunas™
Type: Commercial-grade 3-person infrared sauna with Red Light Therapy
Capacity: 3 people
Price range: Check current sale price above
Key fact: The first commercial model built specifically for gyms and heavy-use facilities. 11 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters at 3,450W with 4D Surround Heat Therapy™ and Omni-Directional Heating™. Built-in Red Light Therapy and Chromatic Therapy System™. Gym-grade reinforced benches with double support. 2x4 fortified framing, 10X reinforced commercial floors, 3X hemlock walls. Requires 240V/20A (electrician needed). ~573 lbs. Endorsed by 48 doctors. Hand-assembled in Los Angeles, CA.
Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna: 3-Person, Gym-Grade with Red Light Therapy
The Commercial 487 is where the Commercial Series shifts from clinic-friendly to gym-ready. It seats 3 people, runs 11 full spectrum infrared heaters at 3,450W, and introduces features not found on the 485 or 486: built-in Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, Omni-Directional Heating, and gym-grade reinforced benches with double support. The supplier's own recommendation: "If you operate a gym, opt for the Commercial 487 model or higher."
This model also marks the jump from 120V to 240V. The Commercial 485 and 486 plug into standard outlets. The 487 requires a 240V/20A circuit installed by a licensed electrician. In exchange, you get 57% more heating power (3,450W vs 2,200W on the 485), a wider cabin, and the additional therapy systems that justify higher per-session pricing for your clients.
Electrical requirement: 240V/20A (electrician required). The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series that requires 240V. The 485 and 486 run on standard 120V outlets. The 487 needs a dedicated 240V/20A circuit installed by a licensed electrician. This is a standard dryer-type circuit. Typical installation cost: $300-$700. If you want to avoid 240V, the Commercial 486 is the largest model on 120V.

Commercial 487 vs 486: Five Features That Unlock at This Tier
The Commercial 487 carries everything the 486 has and adds five upgrades designed for gym and high-volume wellness environments:
Red Light Therapy (built-in) — Integrated red light panels for cellular rejuvenation, skin health, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue repair. This is an additional revenue stream for your facility: you can market infrared + red light combination therapy as a premium service. Not available on the 485 or 486.
Chromatic Therapy System™ — Color light therapy for mood regulation and mental wellness during sessions. Adds a visual component to the therapy experience that clients notice and value.
Omni-Directional Heating™ — Distributes heat with lower intensity around the feet and higher intensity around the back. Standard saunas heat evenly everywhere, which causes overheating in the lower extremities. Omni-directional cycling keeps sessions comfortable for longer periods.
Gym-grade reinforced benches (double support) — Standard commercial benches have support every 36 inches. The 487 has support every 12 inches, making benches 3X sturdier. Built for heavy gym users who sit down hard, shift weight constantly, and put real stress on seating surfaces.
11 heaters at 3,450W (vs 9 at 2,750W) — 25% more heating power with broader panel coverage across the wider 67″ cabin. Faster heat-up, denser infrared coverage per square inch.
The trade-off: 240V/20A electrical (the 485 and 486 run on 120V). If you want to stay on standard outlets, the Commercial 486 is the largest model on 120V.
Built-In Red Light Therapy: Two Therapies in One Session
The Commercial 487 combines infrared sauna therapy with built-in Red Light Therapy in a single cabin. Your clients get two modalities in one session without separate equipment. Infrared heaters warm the body from within while red light wavelengths target skin health, cellular regeneration, and tissue repair at the surface level.
For commercial facilities, this combination is a pricing advantage. A session that delivers both infrared and red light therapy commands a higher per-session rate than infrared alone. The red light panels are built into the cabin's design, require no maintenance, and operate automatically during sessions.
Built for Gyms: Why the 487 Is the Minimum for Fitness Facilities
Medical Saunas specifically designed the 487 for gym environments. Gym members are harder on equipment than spa clients or clinic patients. They sit down heavily, shift weight constantly, sweat more aggressively, and use the sauna immediately after intense workouts. The 487's gym-grade benches have structural support every 12 inches (3X the standard 36-inch spacing), the 10X reinforced floors absorb impact from heavy foot traffic, and the 3X hemlock walls handle the moisture from high-output sweating sessions.
The 3-person capacity also matters for gyms. Members expect to share recovery amenities. A 1-person unit creates a bottleneck during peak hours. Three seats at 67 inches wide keeps the line moving.
Who Is the Commercial 487 For?
- Gyms and fitness clubs adding recovery amenities (the supplier's recommended starting model for gyms)
- Wellness centers offering infrared + red light combination therapy
- Day spas and med spas running group infrared sessions
- Physical therapy offices treating multiple patients simultaneously
- Chiropractic clinics wanting red light therapy alongside infrared
- Community wellness facilities serving multiple users per hour
- Serious home buyers who want gym-grade construction and red light therapy
Don't need 3-person or 240V? The Commercial 486 seats 2 on 120V. Need 4-5 person capacity? The Commercial 488 is the flagship.
Outfitting a gym, wellness center, or multi-room facility?
The Commercial 487 is the recommended starting point for fitness facilities. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing, multi-unit orders, and dedicated B2B support. We can advise on electrical requirements, room layout, and service pricing strategy.

Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Commercial 487 require an electrician?
Yes. The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series that requires 240V. A licensed electrician must install a 240V/20A circuit. This is a standard dryer-type circuit. The Commercial 485 and 486 run on 120V without an electrician. Typical 240V installation cost: $300-$700.
What is the difference between the Commercial 486 and 487?
The 487 seats 3 (vs 2), has 11 heaters (vs 9), runs 3,450W (vs 2,750W), and adds five features not on the 486: Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, Omni-Directional Heating, gym-grade reinforced benches, and deep bench seating. The biggest practical change: the 487 requires 240V electrical (the 486 runs on 120V). Choose the 486 for 2-person on 120V. Choose the 487 for gyms, red light therapy, and 3-person capacity.
Is the Commercial 487 a medical grade infrared sauna?
The Commercial 487 is designed by 48 medical professionals, built to commercial construction standards, and includes Near Zero EMF Technology, 11 full spectrum infrared heaters, built-in Red Light Therapy, and an Oxygen Ion Sanitation System. While "medical grade" is not a regulated classification for saunas, the 487 is the closest commercially available option to clinical-grade infrared therapy equipment, with the added benefit of red light therapy in the same unit.
Does the Commercial 487 include Red Light Therapy?
Yes. The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series with built-in Red Light Therapy. Red light panels are integrated into the cabin and operate automatically during sessions. This delivers infrared and red light therapy simultaneously, targeting deep tissue with infrared and surface-level skin health and cellular regeneration with red light. The Commercial 485 and 486 do not have this feature.
Is the Commercial 487 suitable for a gym?
Yes. The supplier specifically recommends the Commercial 487 or higher for gym environments. It has gym-grade reinforced benches with structural support every 12 inches (3X standard spacing), 10X reinforced floors for heavy foot traffic, and 3X hemlock walls that handle aggressive sweating from post-workout sessions. The 3-person capacity keeps the line moving during peak hours.
What is Omni-Directional Heating?
Omni-Directional Heating distributes heat with lower intensity around the feet and higher intensity around the back. Standard saunas heat evenly everywhere, which causes overheating in the lower extremities and makes sessions uncomfortable over time. Omni-Directional cycling keeps the heat balanced so clients can stay in longer, which means more effective therapy per session.
How much space do I need for the Commercial 487?
The exterior is 71 x 42 inches (about 5.9 x 3.5 feet) and 83 inches tall (6.9 feet). You need a 240V/20A circuit within reach, a floor that supports approximately 573 lbs plus three occupants, and adequate ventilation. It fits in dedicated sauna rooms, large therapy rooms, gym recovery areas, and commercial wellness suites.
Is a community sauna a good business investment?
Yes. At $30-$60 per 30-minute session with 6-10 client slots per day, a 3-person commercial sauna can generate $5,000-$18,000 per month in revenue. The Commercial 487's built-in Red Light Therapy justifies higher per-session pricing than infrared-only units. The 48-doctor endorsement supports marketing credibility. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing for multi-unit orders. Call 866-861-6317 to discuss ROI projections for your facility.
Is the Commercial 487 a steam sauna?
No. The Commercial 487 is infrared only. It uses 11 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters plus Red Light Therapy. It does not produce steam. For a commercial steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Who Is the Commercial 487 Best For?
Gyms Adding Recovery as a Revenue Stream
3-person capacity handles small group sessions. Built-in red light therapy panels attract members looking for skin health and inflammation reduction alongside infrared.
Med Spas Offering Premium Infrared Packages
Red light + full spectrum infrared in one unit. Book group sessions at premium rates. 220V dedicated circuit delivers consistent commercial-grade heat all day.
Chiropractic Clinics Scaling Beyond Single-Client
Move from one patient at a time to three recovering simultaneously. Triple the revenue per hour from the same floor space.
Sports Performance and Recovery Centers
Athletes recovering post-training in small groups. Red light therapy for muscle recovery and inflammation reduction. Gym-grade 2x4 framing and 10x reinforced floors handle daily abuse.
Not ideal for very high-traffic facilities needing 5+ person capacity or full ADA wheelchair compliance. For larger groups, see the Commercial 488 or 489.

Chromatic Therapy System™ — Color light therapy for mood regulation and mental wellness during sessions. Adds a visual component to the therapy experience that clients notice and value.
Omni-Directional Heating™ — Distributes heat with lower intensity around the feet and higher intensity around the back. Standard saunas heat evenly everywhere, which causes overheating in the lower extremities. Omni-directional cycling keeps sessions comfortable for longer periods.
Gym-grade reinforced benches (double support) — Standard commercial benches have support every 36 inches. The 487 has support every 12 inches, making benches 3X sturdier. Built for heavy gym users who sit down hard, shift weight constantly, and put real stress on seating surfaces.
11 heaters at 3,450W (vs 9 at 2,750W) — 25% more heating power with broader panel coverage across the wider 67″ cabin. Faster heat-up, denser infrared coverage per square inch.
The trade-off: 240V/20A electrical (the 485 and 486 run on 120V). If you want to stay on standard outlets, the Commercial 486 is the largest model on 120V.
Built-In Red Light Therapy: Two Therapies in One Session
The Commercial 487 combines infrared sauna therapy with built-in Red Light Therapy in a single cabin. Your clients get two modalities in one session without separate equipment. Infrared heaters warm the body from within while red light wavelengths target skin health, cellular regeneration, and tissue repair at the surface level.
For commercial facilities, this combination is a pricing advantage. A session that delivers both infrared and red light therapy commands a higher per-session rate than infrared alone. The red light panels are built into the cabin's design, require no maintenance, and operate automatically during sessions.
Built for Gyms: Why the 487 Is the Minimum for Fitness Facilities
Medical Saunas specifically designed the 487 for gym environments. Gym members are harder on equipment than spa clients or clinic patients. They sit down heavily, shift weight constantly, sweat more aggressively, and use the sauna immediately after intense workouts. The 487's gym-grade benches have structural support every 12 inches (3X the standard 36-inch spacing), the 10X reinforced floors absorb impact from heavy foot traffic, and the 3X hemlock walls handle the moisture from high-output sweating sessions.
The 3-person capacity also matters for gyms. Members expect to share recovery amenities. A 1-person unit creates a bottleneck during peak hours. Three seats at 67 inches wide keeps the line moving.
Who Is the Commercial 487 For?
- Gyms and fitness clubs adding recovery amenities (the supplier's recommended starting model for gyms)
- Wellness centers offering infrared + red light combination therapy
- Day spas and med spas running group infrared sessions
- Physical therapy offices treating multiple patients simultaneously
- Chiropractic clinics wanting red light therapy alongside infrared
- Community wellness facilities serving multiple users per hour
- Serious home buyers who want gym-grade construction and red light therapy
Don't need 3-person or 240V? The Commercial 486 seats 2 on 120V. Need 4-5 person capacity? The Commercial 488 is the flagship.

Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Commercial 487 require an electrician?
Yes. The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series that requires 240V. A licensed electrician must install a 240V/20A circuit. This is a standard dryer-type circuit. The Commercial 485 and 486 run on 120V without an electrician. Typical 240V installation cost: $300-$700.
What is the difference between the Commercial 486 and 487?
The 487 seats 3 (vs 2), has 11 heaters (vs 9), runs 3,450W (vs 2,750W), and adds five features not on the 486: Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, Omni-Directional Heating, gym-grade reinforced benches, and deep bench seating. The biggest practical change: the 487 requires 240V electrical (the 486 runs on 120V). Choose the 486 for 2-person on 120V. Choose the 487 for gyms, red light therapy, and 3-person capacity.
Is the Commercial 487 a medical grade infrared sauna?
The Commercial 487 is designed by 48 medical professionals, built to commercial construction standards, and includes Near Zero EMF Technology, 11 full spectrum infrared heaters, built-in Red Light Therapy, and an Oxygen Ion Sanitation System. While "medical grade" is not a regulated classification for saunas, the 487 is the closest commercially available option to clinical-grade infrared therapy equipment, with the added benefit of red light therapy in the same unit.
Does the Commercial 487 include Red Light Therapy?
Yes. The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series with built-in Red Light Therapy. Red light panels are integrated into the cabin and operate automatically during sessions. This delivers infrared and red light therapy simultaneously, targeting deep tissue with infrared and surface-level skin health and cellular regeneration with red light. The Commercial 485 and 486 do not have this feature.
Is the Commercial 487 suitable for a gym?
Yes. The supplier specifically recommends the Commercial 487 or higher for gym environments. It has gym-grade reinforced benches with structural support every 12 inches (3X standard spacing), 10X reinforced floors for heavy foot traffic, and 3X hemlock walls that handle aggressive sweating from post-workout sessions. The 3-person capacity keeps the line moving during peak hours.
What is Omni-Directional Heating?
Omni-Directional Heating distributes heat with lower intensity around the feet and higher intensity around the back. Standard saunas heat evenly everywhere, which causes overheating in the lower extremities and makes sessions uncomfortable over time. Omni-Directional cycling keeps the heat balanced so clients can stay in longer, which means more effective therapy per session.
How much space do I need for the Commercial 487?
The exterior is 71 x 42 inches (about 5.9 x 3.5 feet) and 83 inches tall (6.9 feet). You need a 240V/20A circuit within reach, a floor that supports approximately 573 lbs plus three occupants, and adequate ventilation. It fits in dedicated sauna rooms, large therapy rooms, gym recovery areas, and commercial wellness suites.
Is a community sauna a good business investment?
Yes. At $30-$60 per 30-minute session with 6-10 client slots per day, a 3-person commercial sauna can generate $5,000-$18,000 per month in revenue. The Commercial 487's built-in Red Light Therapy justifies higher per-session pricing than infrared-only units. The 48-doctor endorsement supports marketing credibility. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing for multi-unit orders. Call 866-861-6317 to discuss ROI projections for your facility.
Is the Commercial 487 a steam sauna?
No. The Commercial 487 is infrared only. It uses 11 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters plus Red Light Therapy. It does not produce steam. For a commercial steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Who Is the Commercial 487 Best For?
Gyms Adding Recovery as a Revenue Stream
3-person capacity handles small group sessions. Built-in red light therapy panels attract members looking for skin health and inflammation reduction alongside infrared.
Med Spas Offering Premium Infrared Packages
Red light + full spectrum infrared in one unit. Book group sessions at premium rates. 220V dedicated circuit delivers consistent commercial-grade heat all day.
Chiropractic Clinics Scaling Beyond Single-Client
Move from one patient at a time to three recovering simultaneously. Triple the revenue per hour from the same floor space.
Sports Performance and Recovery Centers
Athletes recovering post-training in small groups. Red light therapy for muscle recovery and inflammation reduction. Gym-grade 2x4 framing and 10x reinforced floors handle daily abuse.
Not ideal for very high-traffic facilities needing 5+ person capacity or full ADA wheelchair compliance. For larger groups, see the Commercial 488 or 489.

Product: Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna by Medical Saunas™
Type: Commercial-grade 3-person infrared sauna with Red Light Therapy
Capacity: 3 people
Price range: Check current sale price above
Key fact: The first commercial model built specifically for gyms and heavy-use facilities. 11 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters at 3,450W with 4D Surround Heat Therapy™ and Omni-Directional Heating™. Built-in Red Light Therapy and Chromatic Therapy System™. Gym-grade reinforced benches with double support. 2x4 fortified framing, 10X reinforced commercial floors, 3X hemlock walls. Requires 240V/20A (electrician needed). ~573 lbs. Endorsed by 48 doctors. Hand-assembled in Los Angeles, CA.
Commercial 487 Infrared Sauna: 3-Person, Gym-Grade with Red Light Therapy
The Commercial 487 is where the Commercial Series shifts from clinic-friendly to gym-ready. It seats 3 people, runs 11 full spectrum infrared heaters at 3,450W, and introduces features not found on the 485 or 486: built-in Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, Omni-Directional Heating, and gym-grade reinforced benches with double support. The supplier's own recommendation: "If you operate a gym, opt for the Commercial 487 model or higher."
This model also marks the jump from 120V to 240V. The Commercial 485 and 486 plug into standard outlets. The 487 requires a 240V/20A circuit installed by a licensed electrician. In exchange, you get 57% more heating power (3,450W vs 2,200W on the 485), a wider cabin, and the additional therapy systems that justify higher per-session pricing for your clients.
Electrical requirement: 240V/20A (electrician required). The Commercial 487 is the first model in the Commercial Series that requires 240V. The 485 and 486 run on standard 120V outlets. The 487 needs a dedicated 240V/20A circuit installed by a licensed electrician. This is a standard dryer-type circuit. Typical installation cost: $300-$700. If you want to avoid 240V, the Commercial 486 is the largest model on 120V.

Commercial 487 vs 486: Five Features That Unlock at This Tier
The Commercial 487 carries everything the 486 has and adds five upgrades designed for gym and high-volume wellness environments:
Red Light Therapy (built-in) — Integrated red light panels for cellular rejuvenation, skin health, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue repair. This is an additional revenue stream for your facility: you can market infrared + red light combination therapy as a premium service. Not available on the 485 or 486.
Chromatic Therapy System™ — Color light therapy for mood regulation and mental wellness during sessions. Adds a visual component to the therapy experience that clients notice and value.
Omni-Directional Heating™ — Distributes heat with lower intensity around the feet and higher intensity around the back. Standard saunas heat evenly everywhere, which causes overheating in the lower extremities. Omni-directional cycling keeps sessions comfortable for longer periods.
Gym-grade reinforced benches (double support) — Standard commercial benches have support every 36 inches. The 487 has support every 12 inches, making benches 3X sturdier. Built for heavy gym users who sit down hard, shift weight constantly, and put real stress on seating surfaces.
11 heaters at 3,450W (vs 9 at 2,750W) — 25% more heating power with broader panel coverage across the wider 67″ cabin. Faster heat-up, denser infrared coverage per square inch.
The trade-off: 240V/20A electrical (the 485 and 486 run on 120V). If you want to stay on standard outlets, the Commercial 486 is the largest model on 120V.
Built-In Red Light Therapy: Two Therapies in One Session

It fits in dedicated sauna rooms, large therapy rooms, gym recovery areas, and commercial wellness suites.
Is a community sauna a good business investment?
Yes. At $30-$60 per 30-minute session with 6-10 client slots per day, a 3-person commercial sauna can generate $5,000-$18,000 per month in revenue. The Commercial 487's built-in Red Light Therapy justifies higher per-session pricing than infrared-only units. The 48-doctor endorsement supports marketing credibility.

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.
