F1 and Longhorns Weekend in Austin: Your Midweek Red Light Reset
F1 and Longhorns Weekend in Austin: Your Midweek Red Light Reset
Quick answer: With the F1 US Grand Prix at COTA October 23 to 25 and Texas hosting Ole Miss on Saturday, October 24, Austin's busiest weekend is almost here, so book a calm 20 minute full body red light session at Sweatland on South Lamar this week while new clients pay just $25.
One city, two giant crowds
This weekend Austin hosts a double header.
The US Grand Prix takes over COTA from Friday through Sunday, with extra programming starting Thursday. Then on Saturday, the Longhorns host Ole Miss at DKR. That puts race fans and football fans on the same roads, in the same restaurants, and up late on the same night.
If you live here, you know what that means. Traffic, crowds, and very little sleep.
Why midweek is your window
Wednesday and Thursday are the calm before the storm. Roads are still moving, and your calendar still has room.
A full body red light session takes 20 minutes. There is no heat and no sweat, so you can come straight from work and head right back out. Many guests use it as a quiet reset before a big weekend.
New clients pay just $25 for their first full body red light session.
Your big weekend game plan
Wednesday or Thursday: book your $25 full body red light session on South Lamar.
Thursday night: lay out tickets, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and a refillable water bottle.
Friday through Sunday: drink water through the day and aim for 7 or more hours of sleep, which the CDC recommends for most adults.
Monday: unwind in a 30 minute Infrared Sauna Suite or a 45 minute Infrared Sauna Cabana session.
Want more than one visit? Intro Week is $88 and covers the weekend and the Monday after.
Hydration and safety first
Late October in Austin can still run warm, so check the National Weather Service forecast before you head out. Rehydrate fully before any sauna session, and skip the sauna on any day you have been drinking or feel dizzy. Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant, have a heart condition or implanted device, or take medication that affects heat tolerance. Our sessions support relaxation and recovery; they do not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition.
