HOTWORX - Houston, TX (Katy Green)

This 24-hour infrared fitness studio provides members with access to virtually instructed infrared sauna workouts. The core experience revolves around performing High-Intensity Interval Training or isometric workouts like Hot Pilates, Hot Yoga, Hot Cycle, and Hot Core within private infrared sauna rooms. Gym members specifically appreciate the intense sweat sessions achieved in a short time frame, noting the effectiveness of the infrared heat. The privacy of the individual sauna workout rooms is a highlighted feature.

Beyond the sauna workouts, the gym provides a variety of session types targeting different fitness areas. Feedback on the facility's condition is mixed. Many members praise the convenient location, overall cleanliness, and the helpful, welcoming staff who provide in-depth tours and explain the benefits of the infrared technology.

Concerns about absentee ownership and delays in addressing repair requests are also noted by long-term members.
