Why I’m Giving Away Saunas Instead of Selling Them

This month, we’re giving away two infrared saunas to local health practitioners here in Central Florida. Instead of selling these units off, we’re retrofitting and upgrading them so they can actually help people — in a real way. One’s going to a lymphatic massage therapist, and the other to a local acupuncturist and CHEK practitioner.

These aren’t brand new saunas — some of them were in the “graveyard” of models that didn’t make the cut. But with a little work, red light, better heating elements, and a few repairs, we can turn them into useful tools again. Instead of ending up in someone’s garage collecting dust, these saunas will be used daily to support real recovery and detox work.

I’ll take you along as we get these delivered and set up — and show you how something simple like heat therapy can reach more people than you think when it’s put in the right hands.

And that’s why we’re giving away two saunas this month. We want to help get heat therapy to as many people as we possibly can, especially in our own backyard. Why are you giving away these saunas, Matt? Well, we need to get rid of them cause I’m over capacity here and they’ve served their purpose.

A lot of people don’t know why you would need 40 plus saunas, but when the books and courses come out that show you which saunas work effectively for detox protocol and which ones don’t, it’ll all make sense to everyone, right? The sauna companies don’t get it. Everyone is confused.

They think that, you know, you just work somewhere or just do reviews for no reason, but it’s always been a for a reason. It’s just taken five years to kind of put it all together. Uh, what I would like to do is instead of selling these to an individual person, we’re going to give them away to a practitioner here in central Florida.

So we’ve got two lined up right now. We’ve got a lymphatic massage therapist who recommends, you know, using sauna after you come to see her for a session. So we’re going to put one in her office and then we have an acupuncturist that’s here locally, also a check practitioner, and we’re going to put one in her studio, right?

So her patients have access to it. So rather than just giving them away to one person that just helps one person, right? I like to try to find people that serve others and a lot of people will get benefit from it, especially if I’m going to go through the effort of fixing these saunas and improving them before we give them away.

A lot of the saunas that are in the graveyard, you know, we consider like not great or poor performers or don’t work well. And so I would never give those or sell those to them to use in this fashion without fixing them first. So it requires a lot of effort for me.

We, um, we’re going to put some different style mounts and things in them. We’re going to add supplemental heat. We’re going to put red lights in a couple of them. We’re going to add heat lamps to another one.

What that’s going to do is.

fix the shortcomings of these saunas which is kind of why they got a bad review in the first place. But a lot of them, while they’re not great and I don’t prefer them, the cabinet isn’t bad. It’s not like you should just set it on fire and say that it’s no use to anyone, right?

So instead of just throwing them out or selling them somebody for $500 or $1,000 and just letting it in there, we can spend another $200-$300 and a couple days of sweat and cutting and sawdust from me doing some wiring and make them work well. And it’ll serve and help a lot of people.

And that feels better to me than doing the alternative. So the YouTube channel has helped a lot of people. A lot, a lot of people. Millions of views over the years.

Thousands, tens of thousands of people getting health and wellness equipment. The Certified Sauna Community, the group, just all of us have gotten great benefit. I myself have gotten great benefit because serving you improves my own day-to-day rituals and how well we’re able to implement these things and everything else.

So I’ve gotten a lot of great, I don’t even know what you call it. I don’t want to use the word benefit again, but it’s very fulfilling to me to do this work, right? But it’s not very often that we can physically, like most of these people are across the world, across the pond.

We have virtual connections here and there. It’s phone calls, DMs, video comment, just all this. This is our interaction. This is how people are actually getting this health benefit.

It’s very rare that we can physically go to someone’s location and literally put a physical item that’s going to affect a lot of local people. And that’s why we’re giving away two saunas this month. We want to help get heat therapy to as many people as we possibly can, especially in our own backyard.

We help people all across the internet, but it’s not every day we get the opportunity to make a difference for people locally. So rather than just selling these saunas, like I say, for 500, a thousand bucks, or just giving

them away to a person. We’re trying to find practitioners in the area that really want to incorporate sauna therapy, either for their patients, some of them aren’t doctors, so patient’s not the right word, but you know what I mean, for their clients and everything else. So if we can physically go set something up and give it to them that’s going to be used for years to come, patient after patient after patient, we can effectively like help more people in our local community rather than just on the internet.

So follow along with this quick series. I’m going to take you to the actual offices. Aaron’s going to make me, let him follow me around with the camera, which is always interesting. We’ll see how it goes in front of other people.

I don’t know what to expect. A lot of people are camera shy, but I’m really excited to deliver these things, get them set up and see how we can help others.
