I’ve been a member at HotWorx for about a month now, and the consistency has really paid off. The environment is super clean, and they have multiple sauna rooms where you can do your workouts or stretches. I’ve tried the yoga, the hot stretch, and even the Thunder rowing session, which is my absolute favorite. I haven’t weighed myself yet, but I can definitely feel a difference in how my clothes fit and in my overall stress levels. It’s improved my circulation and just given me a great frame of mind. I love having access 24/7 and would recommend it to anyone!

I was looking for a new workout that would push different muscles and also help relieve stress. What a great way to work up a sweat! Kristine is amazing

I have been looking into joining Hotworx since last spring. However, a preplanned foot surgery stopped me from joining right away. I joined about a week and half ago and am already loving it! I've been more motivated to go workout than to use my own equipment at home. The saunas truly leave you feeling like a brand new person after working out! Everyone is so kind, the facility is clean, and the energy is high. If you've been thinking about joining, don't wait any longer! You won't be disappointed!

Just joined a few weeks ago and I’m really enjoying it. It’s awesome that it’s a 24 hr. facility so you can go at whatever time is convenient for you. Their APP is super easy to use and book your sessions which can be done 3 days in advance. I’d totally recommend this place to help with your fitness goals.

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Hotworx Altoona. When I signed up, Brooklyn specifically told me there was only a three-month commitment — but after reviewing the contract later, I found out the fine print actually locks you in for SIX months. This kind of misleading information is unacceptable, especially when it leads to unexpected charges.

To make matters worse, when I tried to get clarity or resolve the issue, Brooklyn and Millie the "manager" were rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. There was zero accountability for the incorrect information I was given, and no willingness to work with me after I moved to a new city. Despite the fact that Hotworx has other locations, there's no option to transfer your membership, which feels intentionally restrictive.

And don’t expect to cancel without a financial penalty — the cancellation fees are outrageous, and they make it as difficult as possible to get out of your contract, even if you're no longer able to use the facility.

I would strongly advise against joining Hotworx Altoona unless you’re 100% sure you won’t need flexibility. The workouts are decent, but the lack of transparency and poor customer service ruin the experience.

My wife and I love HOTWORX! It’s been a great way for us to stay active together while also benefiting our mind, body, and soul. The workouts are challenging yet rewarding, and the infrared heat adds an extra level of intensity that we really enjoy. It’s not just fitness—it’s a full wellness experience!

The staff is wonderful and the location is great. I love scheduling all or almost all of the workouts with my husband. We both became HotWorx members February 10, 2025. HotWorx is helping me with work stress, anxiety and depression.

I’ve done plenty of workout programs over the years….this is the only one that has gotten me to build consistency so quickly! With the 24-7 access and the 15 minute hiit workouts you can’t go wrong! The longer more isometric workouts are amazing too! I feel so great when I leave these saunas. Also I’ll mention I HATE being hot!!!! I don’t even notice the heat in these! Now let’s throw in the people on top of it! I was scared to join strangers at first but now I actively look to join people as it’s created a like minded circle for me to be a part of even though I’m a noob!

At minimum you should try it out! They do free try it out sessions! It’s worth it!

I have been actively trying to cancel my membership since May 2024. They’re STILL charging me 7 months later. Don’t do it. Stay far far away from them.

Update: After 7 months, Baylee, the GM reached out. I was supposed to hear back from her by the next day. It's now been 2 days. The Clive & Norwalk locations are both owned by Jennifer & Michael.

Update: Altoona & Ankeny are owned by Stacy. Sorry about that!

I just finished my first workout at the new Hotworx in Altoona, and it was fantastic! My friend and I tried the hot yoga class, and we had an absolute blast. The studio is clean, welcoming, and such a unique experience. A huge shoutout to Max—he was beyond amazing! He took the time to explain everything, made sure we felt comfortable, and even gave us tips to get the most out of our first class. His positive energy and enthusiasm made the experience even better. I couldn’t recommend Hotworx enough!! If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate to give it a try!
