Red Light Therapy for Performance in Zürich

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy, also called photobiomodulation, exposes the body to red and near-infrared light at defined wavelengths. The light is absorbed by the cells and supports the production of energy in the mitochondria. It is not UV light: it does not tan, does not burn and does not heat the skin beyond a gentle warmth. Sessions are short, ten minutes, and the effect builds with regularity.

The Performance & Focus programme

The Alpinglow cabin at Anida Lab runs three programmes. Performance & Focus is set for the time before training: it activates body and mind and supports energy, concentration and mental clarity. You book a ten-minute session, the cabin is yours alone, you choose the programme on the panel and the light comes on around the whole body, with a dedicated panel for the head. The programme ends on its own.

When to use it

Directly before a class, your own training or a demanding day. The Reformer Room and the Aura Room are a few steps from the cabin, so ten minutes of light before the class fit into one visit. Many people come two to four times a week; the team at the lab helps you find a rhythm that fits your training.

Who it is for

For anyone who trains early and wants to arrive awake, for athletes who want to prepare body and mind before a session or a race, for people whose days start slowly and who want a clearer head without more coffee, and for members who combine light and movement in one visit.

Price and passes

A single session costs CHF 30 with the Guest Pass, valid for seven days. A pack of ten sessions costs CHF 240, twenty sessions CHF 400. The Movement + membership includes Red Light Therapy with every class. Sessions run Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 21:30 and at weekends from 09:00 to 15:00.
