How Fitness Centers Use Red Light Therapy for Muscle Recovery and Growth
If your gym, training studio, or recovery clinic isn’t offering red light therapy yet—you’re leaving performance and revenue on the table.
Whether your clients are casual lifters or competitive athletes, red light therapy can help them recover faster, perform better, and keep coming back for more.
Here’s why the most forward-thinking fitness businesses are adding it—and how you can too.
Why Athletes Love Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy (RLT) uses wavelengths in the 625–670nm and 830–910nm range to:
Reduce inflammation after workouts
Boost ATP production in muscle cells
Accelerate repair of soft tissue microtears
Decrease DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
It's like a cellular-level recharge.
Many of today’s top sports teams—like the NFL's 49ers and Olympic trainers—use red light therapy to optimize performance and recovery.

Red Light Therapy as a Recovery Service
The best part for gym owners? You can offer red light therapy as a value-added membership perk, or charge for sessions.
Here’s how:
Offer unlimited RLT with premium memberships
Sell it as a drop-in add-on (e.g., $25/session or $99/month)
Bundle it with other recovery tools like PEMF, sauna, or compression boots
