What Visitors Noted
This 24-hour infrared fitness studio provides members with access to virtually instructed infrared sauna workouts. The primary experience revolves around exercising within private infrared sauna rooms, with members noting the intense heat generated during sessions. While some gym members appreciate the sweat-inducing environment, others report discomfort with the high temperatures, though the option to adjust the heat is available. The facility offers a variety of 15-minute High-Intensity Interval Training and 30-minute isometric workouts, including Hot Pilates, Hot Yoga, Hot Barre, Hot Core, Hot Cycle, and Hot Blast, all conducted within the infrared sauna setting. Beyond the sauna workouts, the gym is noted for its 24/7 access to classes, which is highly valued by members with demanding schedules. The facility itself receives compliments for its consistent cleanliness. The member community is often described as friendly and supportive. However, experiences with ownership and staff are mixed, with some members reporting positive, energetic interactions and others describing encounters as unprofessional, aggressive, or condescending. Significant feedback centers on business practices, including high initial sign-up costs, bundled equipment sales, and a difficult cancellation process that requires direct owner approval and has led to reports of unreturned communications and unexpected fees.
