If your workouts feel like they’ve stopped moving the needle, it might not be your effort — it might be your equipment. At Fame Fast Fitness, we’ve built our body contouring and cardio recovery programs around VacuTherm, a technology that pairs negative-pressure (vacuum) therapy with infrared heat to accelerate fat loss, smooth cellulite, and tighten skin in sessions as short as 30 minutes.
Two names come up constantly when people research this technology: BodySpace and VacuPower. They aren’t competing brands — they represent the two pillars that make VacuTherm work. In this guide, we’ll break down what each one does, how they work together, and why this combination has become one of the most talked-about treatments in body contouring today.
What Is VacuTherm?
VacuTherm is a training and body-shaping technology that combines two clinically studied wellness principles:
- Vacuum (negative pressure) therapy — improves circulation and lymphatic flow in targeted areas
- Infrared heat therapy — raises tissue temperature to support fat metabolism and skin firmness
Rather than replacing your workout, VacuTherm is designed to make each session work harder for you. Because the lower body is enclosed in a negative-pressure chamber while you walk or cycle, your circulatory and lymphatic systems are stimulated far more intensely than during a standard cardio session — while infrared panels warm the tissue from the outside in.
BodySpace: The Engineering Behind the Experience
BodySpace refers to the specialized equipment design — treadmills, recline bikes, and body-roll stations — engineered specifically to deliver vacuum-and-infrared training safely and consistently. Think of BodySpace as the hardware layer of VacuTherm: the sealed chamber, the calibrated suction, and the infrared panels are all part of a BodySpace-style setup.
At Fame Fast Fitness, our BodySpace-equipped stations allow us to:
- Seal the lower body in a controlled vacuum environment from the waist down, while the upper body stays in normal atmospheric conditions
- Adjust suction intensity and infrared output based on individual goals and comfort levels
- Track session data so your coach can fine-tune your program over time
This isn’t a gimmick bolted onto a regular treadmill — it’s purpose-built equipment designed around the physiology of vacuum-assisted training.
VacuPower: The Method That Makes It Measurable
If BodySpace is the hardware, VacuPower is the methodology — the structured, progressive program that turns a single session into real, trackable results.
The VacuPower approach typically includes:
- Baseline measurements at key problem areas (abdomen, waist, thighs, hips, arms) taken before your first session
- A tailored negative-pressure program, selected based on your measurements, skin quality, and goals
- Progress check-ins every 4–5 sessions, using the same measurement method for an apples-to-apples comparison
- Higher calorie burn per session — many clients report burning significantly more calories than an equivalent walk or ride without vacuum resistance, since the negative pressure increases the effort required to move
The appeal of VacuPower is that it isn’t guesswork. It’s a repeatable protocol, which is exactly what makes it easy for your coach to demonstrate progress session over session.
How BodySpace and VacuPower Work Together in a VacuTherm Session
Here’s what a typical VacuTherm session at Fame Fast Fitness looks like when BodySpace equipment and the VacuPower method are combined:
- Assessment — your coach takes initial circumference measurements and discusses your goals
- Program selection — a negative-pressure and infrared setting is chosen to match your target areas
- The session — you walk or pedal for roughly 30 minutes while your lower body sits inside the BodySpace vacuum chamber, with infrared heat active throughout
- Recovery and tracking — post-session notes and periodic re-measurements keep your program adjusted for continued results
Because the vacuum component increases resistance and stimulates lymphatic flow simultaneously, many clients feel the difference — in energy, in how clothes fit, and in the appearance of cellulite-prone areas — well before they’d expect to from traditional cardio alone.
Who Is VacuTherm Best Suited For?
VacuTherm sessions are popular with:
- Clients looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite and tighten skin in stubborn areas
- People returning to fitness after time off, who want lower-impact cardio
- Busy professionals who need efficient, time-boxed sessions
- Anyone looking to support an existing training and nutrition plan with an added recovery-and-contouring layer
As with any body contouring or fitness technology, results vary by individual, and VacuTherm works best as part of a broader plan that includes consistent training and nutrition — not as a stand-alone fix. If you have a cardiovascular condition, are pregnant, or have any medical concerns, check with your doctor before starting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is VacuTherm the same as BodySpace or VacuPower? VacuTherm is the overall technology. BodySpace refers to the physical equipment that creates the vacuum-and-infrared environment, while VacuPower refers to the structured training method and measurement protocol used to track your results.
How long does a VacuTherm session take? Most sessions run around 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or a quick before/after-work visit.
How often should I do VacuTherm sessions? Programs are typically built around a package of sessions, with progress measurements taken every 4–5 visits so your coach can adjust intensity as needed.
Does VacuTherm replace regular exercise? No. It’s designed to complement your existing training and nutrition plan, not replace it.
Is the vacuum pressure safe? The negative pressure used in BodySpace equipment is calibrated for the lower body only, while the upper body remains at normal atmospheric pressure throughout the session. Always disclose any medical conditions to your coach beforehand.
