HaloHeat Sauna Studios is a modern wellness franchise specializing in private sauna and therapeutic recovery experiences. The brand focuses on holistic wellness through advanced heat and relaxation technologies.

Each location offers private suites designed to promote stress relief, recovery, and overall well-being. The concept targets health-conscious consumers seeking convenient, spa-like wellness services.

HaloHeat Sauna Studios was founded in 2023 in Aurora, Illinois, where the brand launched its first studio serving the greater Chicagoland area. The company is headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, and has positioned itself for scalable growth in the wellness industry. ‍

HaloHeat began franchising in 2025, opening the door for entrepreneurs to bring its wellness studio concept to new regional and national markets.

Training

HaloHeat Sauna Studios offers a comprehensive and structured training program to ensure that franchisees and their teams are fully equipped to operate under the brand's standards. The franchisor’s training program includes the following components:

1. Initial Training Program: This program is required for the franchisee and their General Manager. It spans at least five days and includes classroom and on-the-job training. It must be completed three to six weeks before the studio opens and is conducted at a location designated by the franchisor.
2. Additional Training: If requested by the franchisee or deemed necessary by the franchisor, additional training may be provided. This incurs a fee of $500 per day per trainer, plus all associated trainee expenses like salaries, travel, and lodging. The franchisor reserves the right to increase the training fee up to $1,000 per day per trainer.
3. Opening Support: The franchisor may choose to send an opening trainer to assist the franchisee during the studio launch phase for up to seven days. This support helps ensure the smooth implementation of operational procedures.
4. Annual Conference and Webinars: Franchisees and their General Managers must attend an annual conference and participate in mandatory webinars scheduled by the franchisor. These events are designed to provide updates, reinforce brand standards, and introduce new strategies.
5. Ongoing In-House Training: Franchisees are responsible for conducting continuous internal training for their staff to ensure they are aligned with the latest procedures, policies, and standards of the HaloHeat system.

Territory Protection

HaloHeat Sauna Studios grants its franchisees a “Protected Territory” once the studio location has been approved. This Protected Territory is negotiated based on market conditions and is often smaller than the “Site Selection Territory.”

During the franchise term, and as long as the franchisee is not in default, the franchisor agrees not to open or license another HaloHeat Sauna Studios location within the Protected Territory.

However, the franchisee does not receive complete exclusivity in the broader market. The franchisor, its affiliates, and other licensees are permitted to market, advertise, and even make sales to customers within the franchisee’s Protected Territory.
