What started as a luxury is now an expectation: recovery. And for forward-thinking gyms, recovery is no longer a back-burner perk—it’s a powerful revenue driver. JK Products & Services is leading the charge with its self-guided, touchless recovery solutions: HydroWave and RedWave.
These aren’t just fancy machines. They’re fully automated, spa-level experiences that require zero staff intervention. In a fitness landscape where operators are asked to do more with less—less staff, less time, less space—this is exactly what makes HydroWave and RedWave so valuable.
“Touchless recovery helps gyms keep members longer and run leaner,” says Andy Dunn, Senior Sales Director at JK Products. “That’s the win.”
Automation That Adds Value, Not Headaches
Red light therapy, automated massage, and lymphatic drainage are now everyday essentials—not just reserved for elite athletes. If your members are leaving to get these services elsewhere, that’s money walking out the door.
HydroWave offers a fully immersive water massage experience, paired with sound, aroma, and light. RedWave delivers red light therapy up to 850nm for inflammation, joint recovery, skin health, and better sleep. Both are easy to use, easy to clean, and take up minimal space. No therapists, no spa licenses, no extra staffing.
The result? Some gyms are seeing usage so high they’ve had to add booking systems to manage demand.
“A YMCA recently installed RedWave and had members lining up. Within weeks, they asked us for a full scheduling setup,” Dunn says.
Built for Everyone, Not Just Athletes
HydroWave and RedWave aren’t just for performance junkies. They appeal across generations. Older adults use them to reduce pain and stiffness. Gen Z members lean in for stress relief, sleep, and skin. Women with trauma histories prefer the non-contact approach. Even high-end hospitality brands are adding red light therapy for wellness-minded travelers.
“There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to recovery,” says Dunn. “That’s the beauty of these solutions—they meet people where they are.”
And in the age of GLP-1 medications, trainers are prescribing these touchless modalities to help users maintain muscle mass as they lose weight.
Smart Recovery = Smart Business
Operators are packaging touchless recovery in creative ways: bundled with personal training, offered as premium upgrades, or positioned as standalone services to boost retention and revenue. With consistent feedback, low overhead, and proven demand, these tools are more than a trend—they’re the new baseline.
“Facilities that invest in recovery see the returns. It keeps members coming back,” Dunn says.
JK Products is already pushing further, exploring new light wavelengths, sensory elements, and even EMF-reducing environments. But their innovation isn’t driven by hype—it’s driven by listening.
“We build products around what operators actually need,” Dunn says. “That’s what keeps us ahead.”
In a market flooded with bells and whistles, HydroWave and RedWave offer something far more powerful: recovery solutions that actually work—for members and for your bottom line.
