Ashley & Anna are so knowledgeable and gave me a great tour. My workout was just what I needed while traveling for work. I really appreciate a short genuine chat after while explaining the program. Do yourself a favor and pop in for a membership.

This place has completely won me over!!! The infrared sauna workouts are unique, challenging, and super effective — I always leave feeling energized!!!! The facility is clean, well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and super helpful. I love the flexibility of 24/7 access, which makes it easy to fit a workout in. The virtual instructors are motivating and the variety of sessions means there’s always something new. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun workout!

I love hotworx! It’s a great gym with super friendly staff! I chose hotworx because it’s so flexible with my schedule. I’ve been coming for a year and a half and I can’t believe how much stronger I am. I never mind being in the sauna with other people. The facility is always super clean & lots of class options

I will never join a gym ever again! HotWorx is an amazing infrared sauna workout and detox. Not only do I feel amazing, but I have gained so much muscle tone and lost a total of 10 pounds in just seven weeks! The 24 hour access also makes it great to get a workout in any day of the week.
The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is very clean!

I have been going to HOTWORX for over 2 years now and have nothing but great things to say about the workouts and staff. The studio is always super clean, the staff is very welcoming every time I am in there. All the different types of classes offered make it so much fun to get a work out in!

Joined HOTWORX about a month ago and was excited to take a guest with me to try it out. I am an elite member so we thought we would give the Clawson location a try. We arrived at around 7pm with a session scheduled at 7:30. Upon arriving we were told that I need to call ahead to bring a guest. On top of that, even though staff hours are until 8pm, we can only bring a guest until 6:30pm. We were met with so many restrictions despite paying $80 per month.

I should also mention that upon joining, you have to pay the initiation fee, monthly due, plus an extra 80 dollars for HotWorx branded yoga mat and towel.

Cancelling my membership due to all this.

This place feels like a scam. I was going to come in for a session but after being harrased every day despite telling them that I will reach out when Im ready I decided not to continue.

I told the lady Id reach out when ready and she kept hounding and harrassing like a child wanting something from their mom. A company should be more intune with their clients.

Anyplace this desperate for clients has something going on for people to not want to utilize their services while in a prime downtown area.

Additionally , the teachers are not on site. Sketch and scam. Rent a dvd and cycle at home.

The Good:
I really did enjoy HOTWORX for a while. The staff was great, the studio was clean, and the quick, structured classes made it easy to get in a workout that felt efficient. We were even able to negotiate our rate down to $39/month, and they gave us 50% off the required HOTWORX-branded mat and towel, which definitely helped soften the pricey onboarding.

The Not-So-Good:
Despite the savings, the path of the HOTWORX Warrior still came with a few bumps:

Mandatory Branded Gear: Even with the discount, it still felt odd that you had to use their branded equipment to participate.

Unreliable App: Booking through the app worked most days—but at least once a month it crashed or glitched, often when we were trying to grab peak-time slots.

Crowded Sessions: While saunas technically allow 3 people per class, it often felt cramped, not tall enough. I personally don’t enjoy sweating it out elbow-to-elbow with strangers, and would avoid rooms already booked. Getting a solo session during popular hours was difficult.

Cancellation:
Eventually, we realized we weren’t destined to be HOTWORX Warriors. When we decided to cancel, we were hit with a $99 cancellation fee each, even though both memberships were tied to the same household card. We were offered the option to extend for two months at a similar cost for but by then we just wanted out.

I was not aware of this and should have read the fine print.

Final Verdict:
HOTWORX has a unique concept that might work great for some people. But between the gear requirements, booking frustrations, and the awkward cancellation process, it wasn’t the best fit for us.

We gave it a real shot, negotiated the best rate possible, and still walked away feeling really frustrated at failing to find our inner warrior and the cancellation fee really added to the sting.

This place is great! I had my first visit and it was a great experience. Mona was awesome, she showed me around and explained everything perfect! I was able to try 2 different types of workouts and get a good idea of what it’s all about. It was very clean and equipment looked well taken care of. Can’t wait for my next visit!

I just started working out at Hotworx and love everything about it. I love the fact that you can get a workout in 24/7. The people who work there are super friendly and everything is so nice and clean. I had the pleasure of talking with the owner of the Clawson establishment, Mona, and she was everything that you could ask for. So nice. Within the first week, I dropped 7 pounds. I have seen more results here than if I had been going to the gym by myself trying to lose weight. I'm happy I found this gym. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for hot yoga, hot Pilates, hot stretch, or just a hot workout to get a good sweat. This is the place for you.

I absolutely love Hotworx!!! I had a membership earlier in the year and didn’t really use it as much as I wanted too! My membership was then cancelled, and I wanted to start going again. I called and spoke to Ana about rejoining and I got an incredible monthly rate with a $20 gift card that I got to use on merchandise! It was an easy, great experience and will recommend to all my friends and family to come to this gym!

I’ve been looking to get back into a workout routine and was over the typical gym scene. A friend referred me to HotWorx and I was immediately obsessed! Biggest draw in points is that it is open 24 hours, an array of isometric classes to choose from, 15 minute cardio sessions, and a free weight area in the back. Staff is always so so friendly as well as the members. 10/10 would recommend HotWorx :)

I’ve never been a person who goes to the gym but after taking my free HIIT class about 8 months ago I was sold! I love being able to pick between a machine, an isometric workout, or even do a workout with weights in the FX zone. The sauna and infrared leaves me feeling refreshed after my workout, even if it was super low intensity! The staff is super friendly and welcoming and the gym is always clean which is a big thing for me! If you’re debating trying it, just do it!

Upon entering this establishment I was greeted by both the owner, Mona and the General Manager, Jamie. Initial impression: Super clean and inviting/friendly staff. Great! I was provided a tour and immediately given a HOT ISO trial session. How would I describe the 40 minute session? Intense, exhilarating, warming, sweaty=cleansing, challenging and even accommodating (3 levels of training for all abilities) and semi-private. After that session, I decided that I would like to try one of the 15 minute HIIT sessions- HOT cycling, HOT elliptical or HOT Thunder (rowing). I chose Thunder - OMG - I wasn’t ready. Lol. My lack of exercise during COVID was evident. What an amazing experience! I was perspiring so intensely (releasing toxins). The most memorable part of this all is…..SO much less soreness post workout and days later! It has to be the infrared heat. I stayed in the room and used the heat to do my stretching and I feel GREAT! Lastly, the weights, bands, ropes and more in their FX FITNESS area are an awesome addition to the club, seeing that I am on a mission to gain muscle and tone. Best perk- They’ve included an app that tracks all your hard work! Love the app.
Best advice- Hydrate hydrate hydrate and go get your “Hot Worx” ON!!! You will NOT regret it. #HappyNewMember

I have experience a holistic and healing form of exercising at HOTWORX. The private sauna allows me to move more limber due to the infrared heat and quietness of being alone I experience a meditative mind with each movement. The place is clean and staffers are friendly.

I started back at the end of October and I have absolutely loved it so far. Hotworks itself has been great, I really love the workouts and they’ve gamified the system which makes me more motivated to keep going! But what I love about the Clawson location in particular is that everyone there is so friendly and nice. The people who work there are super kind and want people to have the best experience possible. They always make sure to say hello and ask how the workout was. The patrons are all super nice which makes sharing a small space so much more comfortable. And overall the facility is really clean and there’s plenty of parking because you can use the ACE parking lot or parking in front. A great addition to our little downtown!

I love hotworx! I love the infrared saunas plus workout vibes. It is very manageable heat but enough to have a good sweat. I often do my own yoga and stretches in the big rooms and sometimes I’ll use peloton classes for the bikes, but they do have great instructors. Come and try a session for free!!

I always love new ways to workout. I was able to try a free session and wasn't planning on getting a membership, I was just curious but I absolutely loved how much I sweat during hot yoga and the price is right especially considering the infared heat therapy as well as a good workout. I became a member and super excited about working out. Plus, I have lived with back pain since I was in 5th grade and had surgery 20 years ago for scoliosis. I have felt much better after being in the infared sauna every day for 2 weeks. The workouts are great but I have always exercised since I was a freshman in highschool and I love exercising in the infared sauna more because of the flexibility it gives me. The workers are all quite helpful and very nice as well as the owner who takes time to explain any questions. My whole family signed up and my husband also is getting relief from back pain. I have definitely been recommending hotworx to everyone!

I originally signed up to be a member during the grand opening event, once they finally opened and wanted to bring members in for a tour I let them know I was no longer interested in being a member.

I didn't learn until 5 months later that they had been charging my card for the membership the whole time; when I called they were very helpful in getting it figured out, but were only able to refund me for 2 of the months that were charged to my card..even though I had let them know in writing in March that I was no longer interested or able to continue the membership.

When I named the person I had talked to and let know in writing that I was not interested in continuing the membership, the person on the phone mentioned that that individual made a lot of mistakes and was no longer with the gym.

While I admit I should have been monitoring a bit more closely, only offering to refund 2 out of the 5 months is very frustrating, and some one else's mistake shouldn't come at a cost to me.

This is crazy. A workout in this type of heat, it's incredible and sooo good for you.

When I first saw the ad for this place, I was sceptical because they had lots of young girls who looked in super shape.

My old me said, "no way", I would never be able to do that and look like them. But, the new me said, " just be me, start where I am and give it a whirl". So I did.

The staff and everyone I have met so far has been helpful, full of knowledge, and very encouraging.

I'm so glad I decided to try it out.

By the way, they are offering free visits right now. If you go in for your free appointment, please mention my name and have a super good workout, you will absolutely love it! 💥😊
