The fixing apparatus which acts as a heating apparatus, includes a heating roller; a pressure-applying roller, arranged face to face with the heating roller, for allowing a recording sheet to be conveyed by the heating and pressure-applying rollers as nipped therebetween; and a heating device for heating the heating roller. The heating roller has a first elastic layer made of an elastic material, a conductive layer disposed in the outer periphery of the first elastic layer, an elasticity-imparted second elastic layer disposed in the outer periphery of the conductive layer, and a peeling layer disposed in the outer periphery of the second elastic layer. The conductive layer of the heating roller is induction-heated by the heating device, thereby reducing the warm-up time. By providing the second elastic layer, adequate elasticity is imparted to the heating roller's surface. The toner image on the recording sheet excels in fixability and gloss property.
