What Is Infrared Fitness? Why J.I.M Members Feel the Difference

25/06/2026

At Joy In Movement (J.I.M), we are all about movement that feels good, fits your life and supports your wellbeing long-term. The thing that ties all of that together is infrared technology. Infrared fitness classes use gentle, heat-based technology to warm your body directly from the inside out, rather than just heating the air around you.
