An image fixing apparatus includes a coil for generating a magnetic field; a heating medium, accommodating the coil therein, for generating heat by induction of eddy current by the magnetic field generated by the coil, wherein the heat of the heating medium is usable to heat an image on a recording material; a non-magnetic member provided between a heat generating portion of the heating medium and the coil with a gap relative to the heating medium, wherein the coil is in close contact to the non-magnetic member, and such a portion of the non-magnetic member as is in close contact to the coil extends to outside of the heating medium.
