The Hotworx UTC Studio is a magical place. No other way I can explain it.

The studio is maintained and kept clean to near perfection. The staff is always kind, friendly and extremely helpful. And they do so much to engage with the community, you actually feel like you are a part of something.

When I first joined, I was skeptical of the workouts and the IV Sauna. But after my first cycle class in the Sauna, I felt like a brand new person. You feel a rush of endorphins after every session. And after three months, I lost over 70 ibs!

Hotworx has become my community and I look forward to sweating it out in the sauna everyday. All of your fellow members are supportive and welcoming regardless of your body type or fitness level.

Furthermore, the owners throw very fun and engaging events that make you feel like you are a part of the family! There is no better feeling than laughing with your friends during a cold plunge event!

If I could give this studio 10 Stars. I would. If you are looking to change your life, improve your health, and join a loving and supportive community. Sign up immediately!

Joined Hotworx UTC last month and it’s a relaxing environment that literally melts the stress (and fat) away. I am able to relax in the private saunas and don’t feel the anxiety of being watched in those large gyms. Not to mention it’s half the cost and open 24/7. They’re also consistently having events like free food and raffles #Bonus lol. And every member I have come across is so welcoming. It doesn’t get any better than that!!! Ask for Jhaila she signed me up and she’s super sweet and personable. She explained everything in great detail and made me comfortable signing up.

As someone who values science-backed wellness, HotWorx definitely standouts. The infrared sauna workouts paired with virtual instruction is innovative and efficient. I can knock out a high-intensity session in 15–30 minutes and walk out feeling detoxed, energized, and mentally clear.

What I love:

• 24/7 access via the app makes it easy to stay on top of your workout schedule.
• Workout variety: Hot Yoga, Hot Cycle, Hot Rowing, Core and Stretching. Each one targets different goals, from flexibility to endurance.
• Infrared heat adds a layer of recovery.
• Perfect for anyone who wants focused time without the crowd.

HOTWORX is such an amazing workout studio! I love that every session is done inside their infrared saunas, which makes the workout feel both energizing and detoxifying. My personal favorites are the rowing and spin bikes, but they also have great floor workouts with weights and other equipment to mix things up. The studio is clean, motivating, and offers the perfect variety to keep me coming back. Highly recommend!

HOTWORX University Park is absolutely amazing! Their infrared saunas and individual workouts have completely changed the way I stay on top of my health and fitness. As a busy working mom, I love that I can work out at any hour that fits my schedule—it gives me the flexibility I need while still getting an incredible workout. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, energized, and so much better overall. The staff and the owner are beyond wonderful—welcoming, supportive, and always making sure you feel right at home. I’m so grateful to have found this place, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient, effective, and uplifting fitness experience!

Hotworx UTC review. I absolutely LOVE this place!! Best shape of my life. Hot Pilates and Hot Bands are my favorite workouts. Honestly, I didn’t even know I had muscles in places I didn’t even know existed until I started sweating like a popsicle on a summer day in there!! If you haven’t tried Hot Pilates yet, you’re missing out on the opportunity to feel your core, while simultaneously wondering if you’ve secretly signed up for a yoga competition.

What I love most? It’s open 24/7!! That's right, I can roll out of bed at 2 AM, wearing my pajamas and a wild hairdo, and still get my workout in. Who needs a midnight snack when you can go sweat it out instead?? I mean, I might not be able to run a marathon, but I can definitely sprint to the sauna like my life depends on it.

The staff here is so friendly, they make you feel like family—if your family was made up of enthusiastic cheerleaders. Kyle, Riley and now Rose (welcome) are all great staff. The owner, Trenton, is fantastic, too!! He’s like the cool Godfather who always knows what to say to motivate you, except he doesn’t bring weird gifts or ask about your dating life.

And let’s talk about those saunas and infrared heat!! It’s like having a spa day while getting ripped. I can’t decide if I’m there to burn calories or just to enjoy the feeling of becoming a human sauna bag. Either way, I leave feeling like I can conquer the world—one HOT workout at a time.

So if you’re looking for a place where you can sweat, laugh, and potentially discover new muscle groups while making friends with fellow hot-bod enthusiasts, Hotworx UTC is the place to be!! Trust me, your future self will thank you. Just remember: the only thing hotter than this workout is the glow you’ll have afterward!!

I went into Hotworx on March 11th to cancel my membership in person. The staff member I spoke with told me it was handled, not once was I told that I also needed to send an email. I assumed everything was taken care of.

Now months later, I'm still being charged this whole time.
When I called, I was told there’s no record of my visit and that I’m expected to pay for another two months on top of the two I already paid, all because of their mistake.

This is completely unacceptable. I did my part, followed the instructions I was given, and now I’m being forced to pay extra for a miscommunication caused by their team. There’s zero accountability, and the way this was handled is beyond disappointing.

My daughter and I enjoyed a free session to try HotWorx for the 1st time. We met with the General Manager Brice and she explained everything to us. She was very sweet and kind. She made us feel welcomed and comfortable. The place was clean and I loved the little details of having necessities in the vending machine and the phone mounts on the wall to create content. The sauna was clean and hot. Hot enough to sweat and still be able to work out. We did the pilates 30 min class and felt great the rest of the day. Our only complaint is being that we are tall it felt like a small space and I did not like being on the floor doing a pilates position and trying to see the screen at the same time. It seems a trendy workout that may fade in time. Thank you for a fun, enjoyable experience.

Not organized, did not cancel my membership on time (or when she said she would) leading to me getting more charges than they said I would get initially. Then I call and they don’t answer the phone. As a business owner you have to do what you say and can’t keep your membership charging peoples cards after they cancel thinking that they won’t notice, whether it was on purpose or an accident, you can’t trust them to do what they said.

I am OBSESSED!!!!! I absolutely love this place! I’m not a big “sweater” when I work out but here it is ON! It feels so clean, it’s like I can feel the toxins leaving my body. I already work out regularly but even a stretch class makes me FEEL THE BURN at HOTWORX!!! If you are looking for that little bit extra in your workout regimen I highly recommend you check this out, your body will thank you for it!

Hotworx has become my go-to for invigorating workouts, and my favorite sessions are the Hot Buns and Cycling classes. The intensity of the heat combined with targeted exercises in the Hot Buns session really helps sculpt and tone, while the Cycling class provides an exhilarating cardio experience. The ambiance and heat of the infrared sauna enhance each workout, leaving me feeling both energized and refreshed. Highly recommend for those looking to amp up their fitness routine!

As a Therapist, I love infrared heated practices. It penetrates into the connective tissue so much deeper. Also, as a therapist, my life is appointment-based, which means it’s always fluctuating. I usually am not able to make it to as many in studio classes as I’d like due to class start times. At Hotworx, it’s around my schedule. There have been days when I have a cancellation and I’m able to pop over for an impromptu Pilates/yoga class. Or on my way home at the end of the day, I can stop in and get some heated movement in.
Also the workout station outside the heated pods is great for specific isolated work.
The studio is beautiful, staff is super friendly!!! I love it!!😁🙌💪🔥🔥

Joining this gym has been an incredible investment in myself and it’s paying dividends. The workouts are efficient, I’m burning 8k-10k extra calories per month here so far, going 3 times per week. The app for tracking calorie burn syncs with my Apple Watch (works with Fitbit, etc. too). The 24-hour access and classes on 15 minute intervals works great for my schedule. The dumbbells and other equipment are a huge plus as I can lift weights before doing infrared sauna cardio. I thought I’d mostly do cycle, but I’ve come to really like the resistance bands workout, warrior yoga, hot thunder (rowing machine) and hot blast (like an elliptical but more option to work on upper body).

I hate gyms and I couldn’t get motivated at home. This has been so perfect for me. The fact that I can enter in anytime with a key code and at first I wasn’t sure how I would feel sharing a sauna but it’s been a way to push myself and meet other gals. I love that I can clean out toxins everyday. I feel so strong and healthy only after a couple weeks. I finally found something that works!!
