Health Update: Local Wellness Leaders Open Perspire Sauna Studio in Kyle – What Experts Say

A science-backed wellness business that promises to make you sweat will open on February 6 in Kyle. Located at 150-A Heroes Memorial Drive, Suite A-200, the new Perspire Sauna Studio, the country’s largest sauna franchise specializing in full spectrum infrared (IR) and red-light therapy (RLT), will serve one of the fastest growing areas in Texas by providing a unique wellness experience. With its addition of the state-of-the-art SNØ Shower, the brand now offers contrast therapy, combining full-spectrum infrared sauna and red-light therapy technology to detox the body, burn calories, improve sleep, ease pain, and more.

The Kyle studio is owned and operated by Michael Schweitzer and Jackie Mendes-Schweitzer, longtime Austin-area residents with deep roots in the local fitness and wellness community, alongside business partners James and Kathryn Huber. Together, the ownership team brings a powerful blend of wellness leadership, clinical expertise, and brand-building experience to the Kyle market.

Mendes-Schweitzer brings more than 25 years of experience in the health and wellness industry and is closely connected to the Perspire brand, having previously served as the company’s Vice President of Franchise Development. Her background also includes leading franchise sales for a global fitness brand, where she supported regional growth and franchise owners across the Southeast. Her career has consistently focused on empowering individuals to take ownership of their health while championing brands that elevate holistic wellness. Michael Schweitzer complements that vision with more than 25 years of experience in advertising, event, and video production, bringing a strong creative and brand-focused lens to the studio and its member experience.

“I have spent my entire career focused on helping people improve their health and empowering others to build strong businesses around wellness,” said Mendes-Schweitzer. “Opening Perspire Sauna Studio Kyle feels like a natural extension of that journey. We want to give our community a space to relax, recover and take real ownership of their health.”

Arizona-based healthcare entrepreneurs James and Kathryn Huber bring decades of combined experience in clinical care, healthcare leadership, and wellness innovation. James Huber’s background includes healthcare strategy and physician-aligned partnerships focused on scaling effective, results-driven therapies, while Kathryn Huber, a Registered Nurse, brings an evidence-based clinical perspective rooted in hands-on patient care. United by a shared belief in regenerative and integrative therapies, the Hubers are strong advocates for red-light therapy as a cornerstone of modern, science-driven wellness.

“For us, this studio is about serving the community with something that can truly make a difference in their daily lives,” said Jim Huber. “At our core is a commitment to personalized care, modern, science-backed wellness, and an elevated experience designed to help our members feel good, live well, and perform life at their best.”

The 1,800-square-foot studio features seven private infrared sauna suites, four SNØ Showers, and the premium hospitality and wellness services that have made Perspire a leader in the category nationwide.

Kyle-area residents can look forward to visiting the new Perspire Sauna Studio to experience the benefits of infrared saunas and red-light therapy firsthand. The franchise is intent on giving members an immersive infrared sauna experience through use of the latest in red-light therapy technology, providing concierge-level service and premium amenities to encourage rituals for better days.
