What to Expect
Infrared Pilates at SALTVAULT of Little Italy is a heated mat Pilates class using radiant infrared technology to warm the body directly throughout each 50-minute session. The studio is maintained between 95 and 105 degrees, creating an environment supporting deep muscle engagement, improved circulation, and focused movement from start to finish.
Unlike traditional heated studios, infrared heat warms the body rather than the air. Muscles stay warm and pliable throughout class, allowing deeper engagement during controlled sequences without creating heavy or humid conditions in the room.
Infrared
Infrared panels at SALTVAULT emit radiant heat absorbed directly by the body rather than warming the surrounding air. This creates a consistently warm studio environment supporting circulation, muscle elasticity, and sustained effort. Clients often notice the room feels breathable and clear while their bodies stay deeply warm throughout class.
Hot Pilates
Infrared Pilates at SALTVAULT combines precise mat-based movement with a consistently heated environment. Sequences target the core, glutes, hips, and stabilizing muscles through controlled holds, intentional tempos, and careful alignment. The infrared heat amplifies the challenge of traditional Pilates exercises without requiring heavy resistance or high-impact movement.
Musically-driven
Every class at SALTVAULT is guided by a curated playlist that matches the pace and energy of each sequence. Music supports focus during longer holds and steady transitions between movements, helping clients stay engaged and maintain rhythm throughout the full session.

The Process
Each class begins with a structured warm-up to prepare the body for movement in the infrared-heated environment. Sequences build through core engagement, lower-body strengthening, and upper-body stability work. Instructors cue breath coordination, alignment, and controlled transitions throughout. Class concludes with intentional stretching and a cool-down to support recovery and balance.
Improve Endurance and Conditioning
The combination of infrared heat, coordinated breathwork, and controlled Pilates movement supports improved circulation, muscle relaxation, and joint mobility. Many clients report reduced stiffness and greater ease of movement after regular sessions. Over time, consistent practice builds postural awareness, deeper core strength, and a calmer connection between breath and effort.
