If you’re anything like me, you know that moving your body isn’t just about looking a certain way, it’s more about what happens up here *taps noggin* We’re all busy though so finding the time to workout is a little tricky. I love a hot yoga class, but I don’t really have 2.5 hours to spare every day between driving there, taking a 60-90 minute class, getting home, and showering/getting ready to finish the rest of my day.
Enter HotWorx.
Have you seen this place all over your social media? It’s for good reason! I joined in March of 2024 and it’s changed my life. Before you go getting all scared about working out in a sauna, you have to at least give it a try. HotWorx has a mixture of isometric saunas and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) saunas along with a FX zone where you’ll find weights, cable machines, and more. Isometric sessions are about 40 minutes long and the HIIT sessions are done in less than 15 minutes! This place truly combines everything I need – I’m getting cardio from the HIIT classes and building strength with the isometric classes and the FX zone.
One of my favorite things is that I have 24/7 access and can book my classes through the app; there is a max of 3 people in a sauna during any given class and you can see if anyone is signed up with you. You also earn rewards by tracking your calories burned within the app and you can use those rewards towards merch like extra towels, bands, apparel, etc.
The classes stay the same, but the virtual instructors rotate every so often to spice things up and keep it interesting. You can also choose to do your own thing in the sauna or follow along with a different class on YouTube if you wanted.
My favorite classes are Hot Buns, Hot Pilates, Hot Stretch and Hot Thunder!
Next time you’re looking to spice things up with your workout routine, look into a HotWorx near you!
Cheers!
