J.I.M, which stands for Joy In Movement, originated in Australia but is opening up its first infrared studio on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield tomorrow (May 8th). Open from 5am to 10pm, members can enjoy a 30-minute session where they control the intensity themselves.

What makes J.I.M different from other fitness studios is that it is fully virtual. Members can follow workouts on screens that are inside the studio, taking breaks whenever they need to.

There are many benefits associated with the infrared lighting, some of which include: detoxification, increased circulation and stress reduction.

Michelle, the studio owner, said: “Half an hour here is being like in the gym for an hour, an hour and a half.”
