Sauna suits work by trapping heat to increase body temperature and sweat output. As the name implies, think of it as a wearable sauna. Donning a sauna suit during training can help a fighter to cut water weight, warm-up faster, and “work up a sweat” for a longer period. It’s also believed that wearing a sweat suit can help open clogged pores, increase blood flow, and flush toxins.
Sauna suits/sweat suits have become a staple in boxing, as well as wrestling, and other sports where opponents need to “make weight.”
Types of Sauna Suits/Sweat Suits
You’ll find a wide variety of sauna suits and sweat suits available; some are full coverage, for maximum intensity, while others feature less coverage, for more flexibility and lighter training days.
Full coverage sauna suits include styles that feature long sleeves, pants, and even hoods to cover the head; these should only be used for a limited amount of time. While shorter sauna suits that leave extremities exposed, can often be used a bit longer. Regardless of which style you choose, it’s important to practice sauna suit safety and consult your boxing coach.
Sauna Suit Safety
While sauna suits can be a great tool to help fighters train and “make weight,” it’s equally important to remain safe while doing so. Styles are designed to cover your entire body, arms, legs, and even have a hood to cover your head, should only be used for a limited amount of time, and not on a daily basis. When used too often, a fighter can become overheated or dehydrated.
It’s also important to replenish fluids after using any type of sauna suit or sweat suit and always take time to cool down after it’s been removed. A lot of salt and necessary nutrients get flushed out while using a sauna suit and need to be replaced after an extensive work out. Sauna suits may be a quick solution to water weight loss but should not be used too close to fight time because you don’t want to get into the ring feeling weak, dehydrated, or depleted of energy and the necessary vitamins and minerals that help you perform your best.
Sauna suits are typically made from rubber, nylon, and/or vinyl. These materials help trap heat and moisture for that sauna effect.
This can depend on your training needs and tolerance for heat and high intensity workouts. If you’re new to using sweat suits, it might be good to start with a more open design and work your way up to a full coverage suit. It’s also a good idea to consult your coach when adding a sauna suit to your training routine.
