Why Hiring Heaters For Bikram Yoga Rooms Is Best
Bikram Yoga is hot in more ways than one. Celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, David Beckham and George Clooney are all hooked. Ask any gym or leisure club manager in Britain which new exercise activity is all the rage with the general public and Bikram Yoga is what our members want will be their likely answer.
Bikram Yoga (accessible even to beginners) differs from other forms of Yoga insofar as the room temperature level required to ensure practitioners get the most from it has to be set at a sizzling 41C. To provide this, many establishments hire heaters from a heater hire company that has a depot local to them.
The good news for leisure centre and gym managers is that heater rental is easy, quick and
affordable to do.
Bikram Yoga Explained
Developed by the Indian guru Bikram Choudhury in the early 1970s, Bikram Yoga consists of a series of 90-minute sets of 26 postures and two breathing exercises. Heating the yoga room is believed to:
Help stimulate the organs
Aid digestion
Help the body to stretch more easily
Increase flexibility (bending and folding into positions requires less effort), and
Strengthen the joints, bones and muscles
Hiring Heaters is the Best Option
As popular as Bikram Yoga is, it can still take time for some leisure centres or gyms to build up interest in it amongst their members. Like anything new, people sometimes have to overcome an initial resistance to Bikram Yoga before giving it a go.
If class take-up is poor, investing permanently in new heaters can prove a mistake, and an expensive one at that. It makes perfect sense, therefore, for leisure centre and gym managers to rent heaters for Bikram Yoga rooms at first, and to then monitor class take-up for a while, before purchasing their own heaters.
Leasing heaters for Bikram Yoga rooms is definitely cheaper (compared to buying) for short
periods, and offers many other advantages:
Temperatures need to reach 41C, which is difficult to do on a normal wet heating system; so heaters provide the ideal solution
Hiring heaters gives flexibility of location
Hired heaters are very controllable (the supplier will know which units are most suitable, and will also provide fuel)
Full service backup will be provided
The heaters will be returnable if Bikram Yoga class take-up is low
Mobile Heater Types
There are three main types of heaters that a specialist will provide: electric, gas and oil.
Gas and oil heaters can either be direct-fired or indirect-fired. The indirect-fired version are sophisticated and reliable heaters that are most suitable for places where there is limited ventilation; they will deliver huge volumes of clean, dry, fume-free heat safely and economically making them ideal for Bikram Yoga rooms.
A heater rental specialist will also offer:
Free advice, on-site visits and quotations
A competitively priced service
Flexible terms: from short-term support to longer-term contract hire
Contingency planning, and
True 24/7 cover, 365 days a year
They will have an environmental policy in place too, and will be able to meet the requirements of the clients own environmental policy/standards.
Helping Leisure Centres to Remain Current
To vie in what is a highly competitive industry, leisure centres and gyms need to keep ahead of exercise trends or their members may simply take their custom elsewhere. Hiring heaters from a good heater hire company is the easiest and most cost-effective way to ensure that Bikram Yoga classes can be offered to members (and non-members) with a 41C room temperature always being guaranteed.
In addition, a field sales engineer will typically visit to ascertain the safest unit for the environment. Where possible, any units supplied are aesthetic and in-keeping with the atmosphere created within the studio.
