Overview
The Bally Total Fitness Men's Sauna Suit is a budget elastic-waist and cuff top-and-bottom set built to trap body heat and increase sweat during a workout, aimed at anyone wanting a low-cost sweat suit rather than a gym-grade one.
- Elastic waist and cuffs seal in body heat
- Reflective trim for outdoor visibility
- Reported to fit well up to 6 feet tall, 200 lbs
- Low price point among sauna suits
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers consistently say it works for sweating, but durability complaints come up often: multiple reviewers reported a sleeve detaching or a side seam ripping, especially during HIIT or jogging, with one calling it fine only for low-intensity use. Several also mentioned it's genuinely built as a sauna suit rather than hardcore workout gear, and that the top is hard to peel off solo once sweat-soaked.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Noticeably increases sweat during workouts
- Comfortable fit for light to moderate activity
- Low price point
- Seams and sleeves reported to rip under hard use
- Waist doesn't fully overlap, letting sweat escape
- Top can be difficult to remove alone once damp
Performance notes
The elastic waist and cuffs seal in body heat to raise sweat output, and reflective trim adds visibility outdoors. Reviewers describe the effect as reliable for sweating, but several also flagged the seams and sleeve attachment as the weak point once intensity picks up.

Questions about the Bally BF178507
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Bally sauna suit hold up during intense workouts?
Reviewer reports are mixed. Several buyers who did HIIT or jogging reported the seams or a sleeve ripping, while those doing lighter activity like walking reported no issues.
What size range does it fit?
One reviewer over 6 feet tall and 200 lbs reported a good fit, though the waist doesn't fully overlap for some body types, which can let sweat escape at the midsection.
Is it meant for exercise or just sauna use?
The listing markets it for workouts, but at least one reviewer found it better suited to plain sauna-style sweating than to exercise.
