Insights on Sauna Utilization for All Workers: A Read from Deportare Club

In a world increasingly centered around health and well-being, the personal training gym Deportare Club, operated by Positive Inc., is leading the charge with innovative approaches derived from athletic insights. Located in Minato, Tokyo, this establishment recently partnered with METOS, an esteemed sauna culture promoter, to bring forth a groundbreaking book titled "METOSが教える！悩み別サウナの入り方 最高に仕上がるサウナの法則" (translated: "How to Enjoy Sauna Based on Your Concerns: Principles for an Ultimate Sauna Experience"), set to be released on January 14, 2026, by Kodansha.

This publication marks a significant step in promoting sauna culture, featuring an in-depth examination of fundamental sauna knowledge intertwined with personal well-being tips rooted in scientific evidence. METOS, known for its contributions to sauna evolution, guides readers through various topics—from the cultural distinctions between global sauna practices, particularly those in Finland and Japan, to essential techniques such as ”loyly” (steam) and cold plunge baths. The book also highlights dialogues with experts that enrich the reader's understanding of sauna benefits.

Among the unique features of this book is a conversation titled “Sauna Discussions” between METOS CEO Masakazu Yoshinaga and Yuma Takeshita, the leader of Deportare Club. Their dialogue dives deep into how sauna applications can foster physical recovery, especially in light of recent skepticism surrounding sauna's effectiveness after workouts. A key takeaway from their discussion emphasizes that the focus should not solely be on sauna usage; instead, understanding how to effectively recover afterward is crucial.

Athletes have discovered that incorporating alternating hot and cold baths, known as “contrast bathing,” provides an optimal way for recovery by introducing precise stress to the body. Heating through sauna sessions, cooling off in water, and as a result, promoting recovery underlines a fundamental balance between exertion and recuperation. This understanding is not limited to athletes; it extends to everyone's daily lives and work performance.

The duo reveals that sauna use should not be perceived as a rare wellness experience. Rather, it should be viewed as a practical tool for self-awareness and conditioning. Through such insights, Deportare Club aims to enhance both athletes’ and everyday workers’ physical and mental states, fostering a culture where health is a shared responsibility.

Looking ahead, Deportare Club intends to maintain its collaborative efforts with METOS to share the knowledge gained from elite athletes with ordinary workers. They believe that elevating performance and enhancing conditioning shouldn’t be challenges exclusive to professional athletes. Each individual, regardless of occupation, can benefit from engaging with their own bodies and promoting mental and physical balance, creating significant improvements in their quality of work and life.

Both companies aim to champion diverse health strategies, including sauna practices, to support the well-being of today’s working population in Japan. By highlighting the personal and professional advantages of sauna utilization, they seek to transform perceptions and utilize sauna benefits as integral components of everyday life for everyone.
